Cupping for Back Pain

By now you probably heard about cupping. It is the in-treatment these days for tennis elbow, shoulder pain, migraines, back pain etc. Athletes and movie stars walk around showing the red marks as proud as if they were showing off a new tattoo. The red marks are really petechial hemorrhaging, you may also know this as a hickey. The tiny blood vessels swell up and cause reddening of the skin. The redness is harmless but can look bad if you plan on attending a wedding and want to wear a backless gown and had your shoulder just treated. Other than a few stares at the redness, the process is very helpful in getting your over-worked low back pain muscles to function better.
Let's explain how it works then we can get into the why it works. Your muscles rely on glycogen as a fuel source. Glycogen is the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals, is broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting. When glycogen is broken down by glucagon into readily available glucose there is an end product ATP adenosine tri-phosphate but there are by-products that need to be removed. The garbage has to be taken out just like in your home. The cell membrane's permeability can be negatively impacted by using too much energy(glucose), creating a back up of waste needing to be removed.
So what happens to waste when it backs up? In the cellular world, your muscles become dysfunctional. The waste takes up too much space. Now a muscle that is already working overtime has to work harder. Cupping for lower back pain uses reverse pressure to help draw waste products out of the cells of the muscle tissue. It may be a little uncomfortable at first then the discomfort subsides. Most people report a significant decrease in back pain as well as greater mobility immediately after treatment.

Fasting may have some general health benefits. For example, it could cut down on inflammation, help with weight loss, and lower cholesterol. Fasting may also improve the way your body manages glucose (blood sugar) and cut down on insulin resistance.

One very small study included three men who had had type 2 diabetes for 10-25 years. With medical supervision, the men fasted every other day or 3 days a week. Within a month, all of the men were able to stop taking insulin. And in less than a year, they were able to cut down on or stop other diabetes medications. In another small study, 10 obese men with type 2 diabetes followed a time-restricted eating plan. They improved their fasting glucose and lost weight over 6 weeks.

Bigger studies are needed to confirm those findings and to see how long the results last. It’s also not clear which fasting plan is best or how often you’d have to do it.
The American Diabetes Association notes that if you’re overweight or obese, weight loss can help lower your A1c level (a gauge of your blood sugar control over the last 2-3 months) and lower your risk for heart disease. Fasting isn’t required for weight loss.

Fasting may also affect how much insulin medication you need. In one study, people with type 1 diabetes who stuck with a fasting plan were able to lower their insulin dose.

Some organs that play a role in diabetes may benefit from fasting, too. Your body stores the extra glucose in a form called glycogen in your liver. It takes your body about 12 hours to use that glycogen. If you don’t eat, your body begins to burn fat instead of glycogen for energy. That helps with weight loss. It also gives your liver and pancreas (which makes insulin, the hormone that controls blood sugar) a break.

Why is a chiropractor from Darien CT telling you this? I use intermittent fasting to control my weight. Chiropractors are often alternative healers and are versed in many non-traditional therapies. Most medical doctors are stuck with prescribing medicine. We need medicine but we also need common sense. Just because a big drug company says to take a pill they happen to produce to be healthy doesn't mean it's true. People need to be responsible for their own health and know the risks of not caring properly for themselves. Many conditions can be helped with intermittent fasting. Smoking cigarettes is a lifestyle choice so is staying healthy. What will you decide?

Pregabalin (Lyrica) and gabapentin (Neurontin) are two medications used for the treatment of neuropathic pain. These medications are called antiepileptics and were originally used to treat seizures, but are also commonly used for neuropathic conditions such as post-herpetic neuralgia, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, and fibromyalgia. They help by calming pain signals in the brain. Neurontin takes longer to begin working, and does not work for as long as Lyrica; therefore, it must be taken more frequently. Side effects are similar between the two (mainly dizziness and drowsiness). Neurontin is more likely to cause coordination issues and vision or eye movement issues, while Lyrica is more likely to cause swelling, weight gain, and tremors. Lyrica is considered a controlled substance, while Neurontin is not. Finally, Lyrica is significantly more costly than Neurontin.

Based on all you've learned, you think that Lyrica might be a better choice for you since it has been shown to be more effective for fibromyalgia. It also doesn't need to be taken as often, and you commonly forget to take your pills. You have very good insurance, so are not worried about cost. You are also concerned about the side effects but plan to keep a close eye on these with your doctor. Neuropathy can be helped. Neuropathy@CoreHealth has been making an impact on the quality of people suffering from peripheral neuropathy for many years. Would you like more information? Call 203-656-3636.

I am sure you have noticed how uncomfortable the masks we all must wear are becoming. I get a little tired of smelling my own breath, making it worse at times I feel a little light-headed.
Have you noticed that you are starting to get a few more headaches? These headaches usually do not respond to Advil or Aleve. They will respond nicely to fresh air. The headache is caused by a condition called hypoxia. When your blood does not carry enough oxygen to your tissues the body can not meet it's metabolic demands. Early signs of hypoxia include anxiety, confusion, and restlessness. If hypoxia is not corrected, hypotension will develop. Some studies suggest that hypoxia may provoke migraine headache and aura symptoms in some patients.
Let's discuss the average low-grade type of headache that can occur while wearing a mask. Have you noticed it is a little harder to breathe when wearing a mask? You may actually be inhaling CO2. We breathe out mostly carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced is a waste product and needs to be removed. Yet here you may just be recycling the CO2 and this can cause headaches. The CO2 is brought back to the lungs and has to be reprocessed. This may be why it feels like you are working harder when wearing a mask.
The lack of O2 is a pretty big cause of headaches. Please be aware that confusion is a telltale sign of hypoxia. Look out for restlessness, confusion, lack of coordination, shortness of breath are just a few signs you may not be getting adequate O2.
Try and be aware of any changes like the ones mentioned. You will need to take breaks from wearing your mask. I don't see how anyone can argue the point of you needing O2. If you have asthma or COPD then you will need to be more vigilant with breaks from wearing your mask. If your headaches get worse when wearing a mask tell your employer that you need a break. Obviously take your break away from other people to help contain the spread of Covid-19.

Neuropathy@CoreHealth

WHAT IS NEEDED TO EFFECTIVELY MITIGATE NEUROPATHY? If you are diabetic or maybe you went through chemotherapy there is a great chance that you will develop peripheral neuropathy. The symptoms include pain and numbness in the hands and feet, but primarily in the feet. The feet are further away from the heart so it is more difficult to get adequate blood flow to the distal areas. So to say that you have neuropathy is to say that your vascular and nervous system is compromised.
If you have neuropathy you are already aware of these facts. What I would like to address is what needs to take place in the body to reverse the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. The first thing that needs to be addressed is that blood flow needs to be restored to the skin of the extremity with symptoms. Here is why the sensory nerves close to the skin relay information to the brain. The brain then responds by sending nerve impulses to the muscles. Any interruption of nerve impulses impairs nerve function.
The next thing to address is that blood flow needs to be restored in the veins from the extremity to the heart. The veins need to be strong enough to take blood away after delivering nutrients and oxygen. This should make sense. In the previous paragraph, we discuss blood flow to the dermis and now we discuss the vessels that actually do the heavy lifting.
Re-education of the nerve cells to create and transmit healthy waveforms is vital to change the state the body is in with peripheral neuropathy. The cell walls of each nerve cell need to allow the transfer of good stuff in and the bad stuff out. The term applied here is cell membrane permeability. So while the person with peripheral neuropathy wants to get out of pain it really can not happen without addressing these areas. I might add that there are several more areas that need attention.
Physical impingements need to be identified, reduced, or eliminated. This is where chiropractic care and physical therapy come together. Besides diabetes and chemo-induced neuropathy trauma from work accidents or sports injuries can damage a nerve. The physical body needs to be able to accommodate the nerve. Putting it in plain English the body needs to be a good host to the nerves. Traumatic induced peripheral neuropathy is another type of neuropathy.
The added value of being treated at Core Health Darien is that chiropractic care along with physical therapy we ensure that the nerve pathway is restored. If a muscle spasm is adding extra pressure on the nerve you have less conductivity. We need to give the nerve everything it needs to communicate with the brain and the affected body part.
Chiropractic care is known to add structural stability to the body. When the base of the body is limited the person is far more likely to suffer from a fall. Typically the neuropathy sufferer has far less sensation in their feet and legs. How are you supposed to walk properly if you can not feel your feet? We have had patients burn their feet and not be able to feel it. That poor person fell asleep with his foot near the fire and had his feet burn. That was a good 2-month hospital stay between the emergency room and the rehab stay.

The BDNF gene provides instructions for making a protein found in the brain and spinal cord called brain-derived neurotrophic factor. This protein promotes the survival of nerve cells (neurons) by playing a role in the growth, maturation (differentiation), and maintenance of these cells.
Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) has been referred to as a fertilizer for your brain. Find out how exercise can help you to get more of it. Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) has been referred to as a fertilizer for your brain.

In addition to enhancing weight loss, 16/8 intermittent fasting is also believed to improve blood sugar control, boost brain function and enhance longevity. Summary 16/8 intermittent fasting involves eating only during an eight-hour window during the day and fasting for the remaining 16 hours.
In lab animals, fasting, as well as exercise, stimulates the production of a protein in nerve cells called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. This protein plays critical roles in learning, memory, and the generation of new nerve cells in the hippocampus. BDNF also makes neurons more resistant to stress.
Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay has used intermittent fasting as a way to control weight. Dr.McKay is a chiropractor with over 30 years of experience helping people with low back pain, headaches, herniated discs, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, and migraines.

Yes, we all want to lose weight or at least 60% of us overweight Americans. Well, the easiest way is to lose weight is to stop eating. Sounds easy enough, so why are we not doing so? Let me bring up the wildly popular idea of intermittent fasting. There is no other way that I as a fat and lazy American can think of how to control weight.
 
How do you get started? Pick 12 hours that you think you can live without eating. It is a lot easier then you think. My suggestion is to wrap it around when you sleep. If you sleep for 8 hours you only have to manage 4 hours without food at first. If you really have a hard time try green tea or coffee, go easy on the cream and no sugar! Try this for a few days to get the hang of it. Your body will try and convince you that it needs food. You are the boss just say no. You will get used to it. Do this for a week or two. Now lets extend the time frame by one hour for the next week.
 This means that you are going 13 hours without eating. Honestly, once you get the hang of it you will start to forget that you are hungry. The following week go to 14 hours. Here is the jumping-off point for women. Guys should try to go to 16 hours. The ladies can do nicely with 14 hours of fasting. Now you may have noticed that I have not suggested what you should or should not eat. The reason I did that is that you are making changes to your lifestyle that need to become permanent. Of course, try and eat healthy. I noticed that I would eat better coming off the fast.
 This is an easy way to get started. Pick your time and stick to it. You don't have to follow any strict guidelines at first, just don't eat. You may be surprised at how much eating you had been doing prior to starting intermittent fasting. So what happens when someone shoves a piece of birthday cake in front of you when you are fasting? Chalk it up as accident forgiveness. You don't have to be perfect, just get right back on schedule the next day.
 I will be doing more articles to explain the science behind intermittent fasting. Beware you will see rapid weight loss and you will need to drink a lot more water. So how hard is this? It is what you make of it. Here is what you can look forward to in the first few weeks, clothes that were tight are not as tight, you will start to sleep better too. Stay tuned for the next installment where I will explain more about what is happening in your body. Just be realistic about how much weight you will lose. Start by changing your current eating habits and getting used to a new way of eating. Eat what you want during the initial phasing in, no guilt, and don't bother counting calories for now.

Knee Pain From Running

Who knew we were going to get hit with the Corona Virus? Those of us who exercise were caught in a squeeze. How do we maintain our sanity when we are unable to do our normal exercise routines? Many turned to running, for good reason. Running is inexpensive, you can maintain social distancing. You can escape your spouse and kids. You can even get on a work call if you had to. Basically running during COVID had no downside, except when your knees start to ache.

We started to get calls about the Knee on Trac Solution for knee pain. Along with the calls came a lot of questions. We had so many that I decided to do a podcast to answer them all. Here is a link to the podcast. If you did not want to shell out $2200 for a Peleton then running would only cost you the price of a good pair of running shoes.

If you haven't ran in some time and you suddenly start remember that a body at rest wants to stay at rest. That's physics not me speaking. Your body is not going to like it at first. You will be sore and that's normal. Your knees may hurt afterward, again this is normal. However, if your knees start to hurt for longer periods of time with greater intensity you have to figure out why the pain is happening.

If you are overweight the running can really put a strain on your knees. One suggestion is to run on an empty stomach. If you have gone several hours without eating your liver will have depleted its load of glycogen. When you exercise the body will turn to fat storage for energy. Over a period of time, this can cause weight loss and improved metabolic function. Oh, and you will sleep a whole lot better too.

If you are already thin and start to have knee pain I suggest that you start taking some NSAIDS to reduce the knee inflammation. If your knee hurts then there has to be some inflammation. You should ice it as well. Rest would go a long way to helping ease the pain. Did you stop and stretch before and after you run? Have you changed out your running shoes lately? Did you properly hydrate before and after your run? If you are young enough you might get away without taking these precautions but if you are a little older you need to use common sense if you want to stay healthy and free from knee pain.

If you don't take any supplements think about adding fish oil to help lubricate the knee. Fish oil are considered essential fatty acids, this means you need them but cannot produce them. The only way that you can get them is to supplement with them. Anecdotally, I see a 20% reduction in knee pain and stiffness of the knee for people who run and start to supplement.

Now if your knee really starts to hurt you will need aN MRI to see if you require surgery. I advise people to get the MRI and bring it with you to see the orthopedic. This will save you time and get you the information you need sooner.
