Not Just a Chiropractor for Stamford, Darien, Norwalk and New Canaan

The Back Pain Project was created to help eliminate chronic lower back pain. There are so many people who continue to suffer from back issues. The Back Pain Project's goal is to help these people by using the most advanced therapy's available. Maybe you have had back surgery but did not get the relief you expected. Perhaps you tried going for a massage to get some relief you had hoped for? In this day of internet speed, there is almost too much information out there making an educated decision even more difficult to make. So if physical therapy left you in more pain or if you are afraid to go to a chiropractor, you now have a viable option and it's called the Back Pain Project. Here is what sets this program apart from pursuing all the other options is that The Back Pain Project uses many different therapies on each visit to get the fastest results possible for your bad low back pain.
Here are a few of the treatments we exclusively offer;
Pulsed Radial ExtraCorporeal Shock Wave to promote angiogenesis
The Back on Trac Spinal Decompression Unit to relieve disc herniation
Live O2 Adaptive Contrast Therapy to enhance blow flow and speed the healing response
Class IV Cold Laser Therapy to produce ATP for cellular energy
Rebuilder Nerve Home Unit to allow proper nerve wavelength to calm affected nerves
Hako-Med Nerve Regeneration to repair nerve damage from chronic back pain
Cupping Treatment to relieve tissue congestion
Graston Instrument Soft Tissue Mobilization to reduce adhesions formed in the affected muscles.
Trigenics to reconnect the Golgi Tendon Organs at the myoneural junctions
Can you say that you have tried any of these methods before? And if you can were they done in conjunction with a program that offers them all? That is why you need to consider the Back Pain Project. We have helped people like you get their lives back. The program takes time and not everyone is allowed into the program. We offer a screening to see if you qualify.
The next question we get is does my insurance cover this? We have no idea until we review your insurance. We are not part of any HMO accepted groups. The therapies we use are often not recognized and we do work with a high number of patients at any given time.
So the question is would you like to be evaluated for the Back Pain Project?

Radial Pulse Therapy as used by the Back Pain Project is indicated to treat pain from muscle, tendon, ligament, and bone injuries due to trauma, overuse, or arthritis.  It works by stimulating the breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions, causing an inflammatory response that increases blood circulation to the area and helps relieve pain, promote healing, and improve range of motion.
The Radial Pulse Shockwave is applied to the skin over the affected area and shockwaves are transmitted into the tissues. The intensity of the shockwaves can be controlled and adjusted. During the initial 1-2 minutes of treatment, you may experience some discomfort following which chemical reactions occur that release your body’s natural pain killers. As the intensity of the shockwaves are increased, you will feel a thumping sensation. The affected areas are treated for a short period of time until about 2000-3000 shockwaves are delivered.. Pain relief and improved range of motion are usually noticed immediately following a session. Four to six treatments, each a week apart, are usually recommended.
The Back Pain Project uses Radial Pulse Shock Wave Therapy as part of a comprehensive plan to eliminate chronic low back pain.  This along with several other therapies allows for lasting relief from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis of the lower spine.

The Agony in Your Feet
 Have you ever felt like your feet and toes were on fire? maybe it feels like you were walking on glass. These can be symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. First, it can start like a little numbness that is barely noticeable. Then pins and needles in the toes that go up into your feet to your legs. At this point, you probably don't even pay it much attention. A few Tylenol or Advil and you go about your day.
 Now, what happens when the symptoms start getting a little more serious. The burning feet pain starts to keep you awake at night. That you can deal with. Now let me ask you are you concerned that this might be something more serious? Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the covering on the nerve gets eaten away. This usually happens from diabetes or from chemotherapy. Too much sugar damages the nerve preventing the brain from effectively communicating with the body part. Something similar happens when cancer patients undergo chemotherapy. The chemotherapy that kills cancer also damages the nerve. People who consume too much alcohol face the same issues.
You might think it's no big deal. There are medications to help with neuropathy. Sometimes they do, but what about when they don't? What starts innocently as numbness can progress easily to balance issues which often lead to serious falls. Then falls lead to hip fractures and nursing homestays. The medications do not help with the balance and they do not help rebuild the nerve vital nerve covering.
Neuropathy@CoreHealth offers a solution to the potentially dangerous side effects of peripheral neuropathy. There are many cutting edge treatments that reverse the effects of neuropathy. We are having an open house on December 8th at 11:00 am. We will discuss all treatment options that your doctor is probably not aware of. These will help reverse the course you are now on and allow the nerves to regain the ability to communicate with the brain.
Here is what will be discussed;
Cold Laser Therapy
PEMF Pulsed magnetic field therapy
Near Infra-Red Light Therapy
Hako-Med therapy to rebuild the nerve
Live Oxygen Therapy to help restore blood flow
Decompression Therapy to reduce pressure on the nerves
Blood Flow Restriction to increase vascularization
Dietary Changes to help the body heal and stay healthy
Pulse Radial Shockwave therapy to stop nerve entrapment

We will offer everyone in attendance a Complimentary Thermal Imaging Scan that will show if you are getting enough blood flow to your feet. If you do not have enough blood flow your nerves will never heal. Please click the link to sign up. We have space restrictions due to Covid so only 12 people can attend. This is an opportunity to learn how to get the help you need to prevent a serious fall and in some severe cases amputation.

Have you started to feel a burning sensation in your legs and feet? Have you had your blood sugar checked and found it to be on the high side? You may have what is known as peripheral neuropathy. If you are diabetic some people call it diabetic foot pain. The nerves stop communicating with the brain. If you are old enough to remember the loud beep you would hear when you left the phone off the hook, in a sense that is what the brain is doing in cases of peripheral neuropathy. The brain is looking for sensory feedback that it is not getting from the nerves in your feet. The longer it goes without sensory input the greater the pain will become.
Neuropathy@CoreHealth specializes in a modern approach to treating peripheral neuropathy. One treatment that most people overlook is oxygen therapy for neuropathy. Typically, your well-meaning doctor will take out their prescription pad and write a script for gabapentin, Lyrica, or Cymbalta. These drugs are usually for seizures. Their side effects include weight gain and brain fog. So what are your options?
The first thing you need to do is to educate yourself. Neuropathy is rarely an orphan symptom. It is most often a result of diabetes or from exposure to toxins like chemotherapy. What happens in the nerves need three things to work properly. The nerves require oxygen, glucose, and proper stimulation. All of these critical requirements are necessary for the nerves to function properly. When they don’t you can expect balance issues along with numbness, burning, searing pain in the feet and hands. The feet and hands are furthest from the heart and will be affected by neuropathy.
Oxygen therapy has been helpful to stimulate angiogenesis which is the production of blood vessels. It stands to reason that increased blood flow with more blood vessels will tackle oxygenation issues faster. Then it is easier to address glucose issues to further healing. When nerves are deprived of oxygen Lyrica and Cymbalta are ineffective. Neuropathy over a long period of time.
Oxygen therapy provided by Neuropathy@CoreHealth uses a special method to deplete oxygen levels. Hold on you might think this is bad. What happens is that the brain is looking for 02. After several minutes of exercise, the person then receives a jolt of 02 with a super concentration. This stimulates more blood vessel creation. Now the body is able to repair and heal at a faster rate reversing many of the painful symptoms associated with peripheral neuropathy. Some people will opt for hyperbaric 02 therapy, and yes this is an effective method of oxygen therapy but way more expensive way to help with neuropathic pain.

Low Back Pain and Erectile Dysfunction

In a recent study of men under the age of 50 years old with lumbar spine disease, 34% also had erectile dysfunction.1 The link between spine disease and sexual potency has long been a subject of speculation. Let's put a few pieces of the ED puzzle together. Your nervous system controls every function in your body. Specifically, the autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.
 This lends credibility to the idea that low back pain which can cause an interruption of the autonomic nerve flow can lead to faulty signals from the brain to the sex organs and muscles that help maintain erections. When discussing low back pain with your doctor it would be a good time to mention that you have some difficulties with sexual performance. Speaking to men, it is also a good reason to have an annual prostate exam to rule out any prostate issues. Please get over the fact that it is an uncomfortable topic to discuss with your doctor, but you have to. Your doctor needs to have all the cards on the table to help you navigate through any and all health problems.
What is the take away here? If you have back pain go see a chiropractor who can help remove nerve interference that could be blocking the autonomic nerve flow besides causing you to have back pain. By the way, there are 2 nerves in the nerve bundle that exits the spine that deal with lower back pain. Consider that in addition to the nerves that regulate involuntary physiologic processes like erections add in the pain nerves and you could have 4 out of 9 nerves involved with simple case of lower back pain. For the record, a chiropractor does not treat erectile dysfunction. If your chiropractor says that he does go find a different chiropractor. Please see a urologist or your primary care physician to have a prostate exam especially if you are over 50 and have low back pain. Sure Advil can get you through the day but don't cover up what seems to be a minor symptom when it can be a more serious underlying medical condition.

What is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) and how does it benefit you?

In order to understand how BFR works, it’s important to understand how your circulatory system works. Your arteries are larger blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from your heart to your body. Your veins are blood vessels that carry mostly deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart.

The goal of blood flow restriction training is to restrict venous return while still allowing arterial flow by strategically wrapping the topmost portion of your limbs. By restricting the veins and not the arteries, blood can keep pooling into a working muscle and it stays trapped there. It’s like filling a water balloon to max capacity.

By bringing in all of that blood to the working muscles without letting it leave, a few key things happen. One, you get a crazy pump. Seriously, your muscles become engorged. The idea is that this leads to cellular swelling which shocks the muscles into new growth. I warn you it’s gonna burn like hell. Your muscles quickly become deprived of oxygen and can’t get rid of accumulating waste materials and this creates acidosis. Acidosis is a form of metabolic stress which is one of the three major mechanisms of muscle growth and should not be overlooked.

We have been using this for back pain cases and peripheral neuropathy cases. We have only just started to use BFR Blood Flow Restriction. Patients feel an immediate difference. It is a hard workout to say the least but by opening the veins up to get the lead out is a new concept. You may be wondering what this has to do with chiropractic care. I feel that it can have a dramatic impact on energizing muscles that support the axial skeleton. I will report back when we have more evidence as it relates to neuropathy after several months. If you have any questions give us a call 203-656-3636. I hope you found this to be informative.

Back Pain Project

Let’s be honest. While working from home may have sounded a little fun before COVID-19 — conference calls in bed, yay — the novelty is wearing off.

Your back hurts. Your neck is tight. And your butt? Numb and sore. First off, sitting for long periods of time is never good for your body and really bad for your back pain. And if where you are sitting happens to be soft, like a sofa or a mattress, you are going to start to feel strain and lower back pain if your posture is lacking. Anytime we sit, we are putting a strain on our bodies. Sitting causes us to bend our backs [and our hips], and move away from what’s called the “neutral range posture” for joints. That is when your ears, shoulder, and hip are in a straight line. This move away from neutral range posture puts stress on your back and neck, increasing pressure on these tissues and triggering sensors in the brain that is perceived as pain or stiffness.
  When it comes to sitting on a couch or bed, it’s a bit of a different story. While at first it can feel comfortable, as you start to sink into the couch or mattress, you end up creeping into a poor posture that’s much more extreme, and potentially harder on your body. I am certain that that the softer surface tricks your brain because it happens so slowly that you don’t really notice how your posture changes.
We also need to be mindful of how long we’re in these postures. Sitting for the whole day without taking a break…the bigger consequence is going to be the overall impact on our health, which is probably the most important thing to keep in mind,” she says, adding that getting up and moving around for a few minutes at every hour is a good way to help posture.
The Back Pain Project is an advanced way to eliminate chronic lower back pain using several therapies combined to deliver better biomechanical functioning of the lower back. It will make your back work better without back pain.

Darien Chiropractor Brian McKay shares an exciting new treatment for plantar fasciitis. EPAT® stands for Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology. EPAT® is a form of ESWT (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy) which is an evidence-based, emerging, proven treatment option for patients suffering from both acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
It is typically used to treat the pain associated with heel spurs, Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis and other conditions. Millions of patients worldwide have found relief through EPAT and over 80 percent report less pain or no pain after EPAT treatment.
People ask if shock wave treatment is painful? Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment, but you might feel a little heel pain or discomfort in the treatment area during the procedure. Most patients say it feels like small pulses against the skin. Even though the response to shockwave treatment is usually exceptionally good within a few weeks it may take several months before the maximal effect is achieved. If after 3 to 4 months you still do not experience a pronounced improvement you will be invited for a review to discuss alternative treatment options.
How will the plantar fasciitis or heel spur sufferer feel after the treatment? Most patients will experience immediate pain relief following the treatment. However, within 2-4 hours after treatment, they may experience some soreness in the treated area. This soreness has been reported as being very tolerable and it may last from a few hours to several days.

What is the Back Pain Project? It is a way to restore structural integrity to the spine in cases of chronic low back pain. This will help failed back surgery cases all the way too tired old backs that are hurting from being overworked. Maybe you tried massage and it only worked for a while. Perhaps you tried physical therapy but the pain came back. Then again you may have tried chiropractic care and were not pleased with the results.
The Back Pain Project uses expert spinal mobilization as the core of it's treatment. We use Hako-Med to help fortify the damaged nerves that relay information to your brain. Then we apply the Back on Trac therapy to rejuvenate the disc and to increase spinal mobility. We use shock wave therapy to break up painful adhesions and to encourage better blood flow. Lastly, we use Cold Laser to ramp up the body's ability to heal./ I guarantee that you have not had anything to compare to this treatment.
The treatment usually takes several weeks and offers outstanding results for those who follow the plan and do their home exercises.
Back Pain can take a holiday when you complete the Back Pain Project

Statins are so good for you they belong in the water supply! Who would ever say such a thing? Probably a lobbyist for Big Pharma, you know those magnanimous people you provide an annuity for with your health. They count on you needing their pills by the handful to keep their profits rolling in. When one or two pills are not enough they magically provide a self-sponsored study showing you really need to stack another pill onto the same one you are already taking to be even more healthy. Then all you have to do is eat Honey Nut Oat Cheerios to keep your cholesterol in check.
What if I told you that your body needs cholesterol to function properly? I know what the commercials say, somehow if you take cholesterol-lowering medication without proper dieting and exercise it is implied that you are healthy. Do you honestly believe that you can have an unhealthy lifestyle and still be healthy? Dream on. Cholesterol is needed to make vitamin D, hormones (including testosterone and estrogen), and fat-dissolving bile acids. In fact, cholesterol production is so important that your liver and intestines make about 80% of the cholesterol you need to stay healthy. Only about 20% comes from the foods you eat.
Although we usually think of cholesterol as some sort of evil being in our body, it is important to your health. Cholesterol, a waxy, fatty substance carried through the bloodstream by two different particles—low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL)—is essential for building cell membranes, producing hormones, and helping your metabolism work efficiently. LDL is considered the “bad” cholesterol because it deposits plaque within the arteries, while HDL, or the “good” cholesterol, transports excess cholesterol out of the arteries and to the liver, where it can be broken down. In other words, a high level of HDLs may reduce the risk of a heart attack, while a high level of LDLs may raise your risk of a heart attack.
Shouldn't the focus be on raising the levels of HDL's? helps your body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in your blood comes from two sources: the foods you eat and your liver. Cholesterol medicines alter enzymes in your liver, one would conclude that this is a good thing. In some cases, it is but if you are overweight, don't exercise, eat poorly, smoke cigarettes what good is a good cholesterol number?
Here is something I want you to think about when it comes to cholesterol. Your brain requires Myelin. It is an insulating layer or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances. This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. Your body needs cholesterol to produce myelin. When the myelin sheath is damaged, nerves do not conduct electrical impulses normally. Sometimes the nerve fibers are also damaged. If the sheath is able to repair and regenerate itself, normal nerve function may return. However, if the sheath is severely damaged, the underlying nerve fiber can die. This has serious implications for people with peripheral neuropathy. While we are on topic what does a lack of good cholesterol mean for aging brains that are being wracked with dementia? I doubt Big Pharma will do a study on dementia and the use of statins they would be afraid of losing a cash cow with no end in sight. It's your health and your decision to take statins, be informed, watch your diet, exercise, stay healthy.
