Dr. Karl Jawhari, DC

You've just given birth to a baby after nine months of pregnancy. You gave this world a fresh lease on life. And, while we're sure you're loving being a new mom and all the stupefying (and, honestly, exhausting) things that come with it, your body doesn't seem to be recovering as quickly as you'd hoped. You've realized that there are far more postpartum "events" than you expected. You have the impression that you should be "bouncing back," but this hasn't happened yet. We're here to let you know that you're not alone. What is Diastasis Recti? Diastasis Recti is a frequent disorder in pregnant and postpartum women that develops when the rectus abdominis muscles (also known as the six-pack ab muscles) separate after being stretched to create room for the baby during pregnancy. The linea alba, a strip of tissue that runs down the middle of the body and divides the muscles left and right, separates the vertical muscles. The linea alba...

Welcome to February, when we celebrate our healthy hearts and what we can do to keep them pumping in a healthier rhythm for the rest of our lives!  The first step is to recognize the appropriate steps toward heart disease. One fun-filled, convenient lifestyle may be speeding you up the path to heart disease faster than you think. Do you already have high blood pressure? Are you overweight, do not exercise, and consume a lot of processed, fatty, calorie-laden, fiber-deficient, and nutrient-deficient foods? Add smoking to the list, and you may be a ticking time bomb. For two simple reasons, heart health is a hot topic these days: First, our poor dietary choices put us at high risk for heart disease; and second, wise food choices and other natural proactive measures can protect the heart and keep that muscle pumping stronger than ever. Chiropractic care is a great step: Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women today. Although chiropractic care is most commonl...

You are experiencing dizziness. Your head hurts all the time and your ears are ringing. You even started throwing up after returning home from the accident. When the automobile slammed into yours, you knew you struck your head, but it did not feel that painful at the moment. Well, despite how it may have appeared, there's a strong likelihood you received a concussion and possibly whiplash as a result of the accident. But you are not sure what to do now. What is a concussion? A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs when the brain moves rapidly back and forth inside the skull as a result of a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or an impact on the body. A concussion can occur as a result of a variety of injuries. Falls, automobile accidents, sports injuries, and other factors are common causes. If you've been in a car accident, you may have suffered a concussion as a result of your head colliding with the dashboard or a window or something striking your hea...

What is Spinal Cord Stimulation? First and foremost, Spinal Cord Stimulation should only be explored if the pain is chronic (lasting more than six months) and all other non-invasive options have been exhausted. Low electrical waves are sent into the spinal cord to suppress or greatly mask pain signals to the brain. Individuals report the sensation as warm and tingly, a magnificent contrast to the previously terrible pain. How Spinal Cord Stimulation Does It Work? A small box is implanted beneath the individual's skin after a quick, minimally invasive medical procedure. This little metal box is placed beneath the skin and emits electrical pulses that suppress pain signals. A rechargeable battery has been introduced as a result of recent technological advancements. A rechargeable battery allows the person to avoid the need for a surgical replacement, allowing them to stay out of the operating room. What Conditions Can Spinal Cord Stimulation Help With? Spinal Cord Stimulation is a sa...

High heels are still one of the most popular shoe styles. Many of Dr. Karl Jawhari's patients say they like wearing heels because they give them more height, accentuate the muscles in their legs, and improve the way their bodies are positioned. Unfortunately, high heels can put additional strain on a variety of body components. If you wear heels frequently, the tension can develop into health issues that demand a visit to our clinic. We will go over how high heels affect the body, as well as some of the health issues that come with them, as well as some advice for wearing them safely.   When wearing heels, how does your body position change?

We drank up new information like sponges when we were little children. Consider how much knowledge a child consumes from the time they are born until they enter kindergarten. They grow from babies who can not sit, talk, or even chew to children who can read, dress themselves, and even help make supper in just 5 or 6 years. Now imagine yourself in the shoes of a senior adult who has recently suffered a stroke. Even though she is been doing all of those things for decades, she may need to relearn how to walk, talk, and eat. In the vast majority of situations, a stroke victim can completely regain all of those skills. But what if she is not able to? Our brains are sometimes incapable of learning new abilities or adapting to new ways of thinking. It has everything to do with our brain function and entire body wellness whether we can learn new things or not. All of this has to do with neuroplasticity, or a person's brain's ability to adapt and expand through time. While everyone...

Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to treat pain and injury caused by vehicle accidents, falls, sports-related injuries, and various other injuries to our bodies.

Other biological changes that occur in the body of a woman can make them feel tired and sometimes result in back pain and Dr. Karl Jawhari can assist you with all of them, allowing you to feel strong and be ready for your delivery.
