How to Aid with Spinal Issues this Spring

With the Spring season fully upon us, there are many outdoor activities that we are taking part in. As enjoyable as these events are, there is a chance that you may hurt yourself with ballgames and other activities that involve physical movement of your body. Well, we have a few specialties here in the office to help you take care of your spine and keep working hard, but playing harder.

Spinal Adjustments - The spine is a very intricate and essential part of your body, which needs to be cared for properly. Like a car, if you notice something doesn't feel right, you would take it in for a tune up. Well, we need to "tune up" our spines as well. Certain movements and certain activities can cause subluxation (a misalignment of the spine) or over time, degeneration (deterioration of the discs that separate the vertebras) can cause the body pain. A spinal adjustment helps to relieve the pressure and provide the healing potential needed for the body perform at its best. The adjustment can be performed (based on what the X-Ray and exam show the doctor) at a variety of regions on the spine and even on the extremities of the body. Spinal adjustments help not only with Low Back, Mid Back and Neck issues, but also with Arm, Hand, Leg, Feet pain and other varieties of issues in the body.

Spinal Decompression - Each treatment session lasts for approximately 30 minutes, with patient relaxing comfortably on a heavily padded bed. After being secured into position by an upper body and lower body harness, you can completely relax by watching a DVD, listening to music, or simply taking a nap. Each session is divided into 18-phases, which alternate between a maximum and minimum therapeutic level. Some patients may experience light side effects with this type of therapy. Mild muscular soreness during or after treatment may occur. The sensation would be similar to what a person may experience at the start of a new exercise regimen. Most patients find this therapy quite comfortable and relaxing. During an average 30-45 minute treatment, most patient patients experience a gentle stretch in the lumbar spine and tend to fall asleep.

PEMF - Pulse PEMF systems utilize sophisticated generators and a variety of application accessories to introduce electromagnetic fields (note: this is not an electric current), through the clothing and skin, and into the body. The pulsing field introduces an electromagnetic charge to the cells, stimulating and exercising them. The cells use the supple-mental energy from PEMF to better perform their many jobs—relaxing the body to assist with muscle fatigue, providing full-body energy, and enhancing the natural recovery process. PEMF capitalizes on the intelligence and holistic nature of the body. Rather than treating or addressing injuries or illnesses, PEMF provides a raw material (electromagnetic energy!) crucial to the body’s ability to heal and regulate itself.
