How to get real relief from spine pain
So many patients come to us, even from overseas, desperate for an answer to their back or neck pain. Many have seen other Chiropractors, and been told they need to be seen three times per week for months on end. (There is simply no research to support this!) Others have been to the orthopedist or neurosurgeon, and some have had surgery that has not helped, or even made it worse. Some have even been told that adding certain therapies to decompression therapy for the spine is what makes their treatment "special".
Active Release Technique and Shoulder Conditions
A typical case of shoulder pain came in this morning. She is an accomplished competitive swimmer with shoulder pain, especially when she raises the arm up to about 90 degrees. She had this problem 2 years ago, and it lasted 7 months. Therapy, rehab exercises and medications did little to help. After an exam we determined that the subscapularis muscle (one of the rotator cuff muscles) was tight and weak, causing the other muscles to pull the upper arm up and jam the supraspinatus against the bone. This causes pain, inflammation and can cause tearing eventually.
15 mm disc herniation reduced to 2 mm
A female patient presented with severe back and leg pain, and could no longer work as a chef, which she dearly loves. An MRI revealed a 15 mm disc herniation, with extrusion. It was not so long ago that nearly everyone agreed that a case of extrusion was a surgical case. But now, with the advent of the DRX 9000 spinal decompression, coupled with APL light therapy and Medx exercise rehabilitation, we can handle many of these cases. This patient has nearly no pain now, exercises regularly, and is getting ready to get back to the kitchen.
