Spinal Decompression For Stubborn Chronic Back Pain

When do you finally do something to help your bad back? Then when you do decide to do something where do you turn? The internet? Maybe your general practitioner? Perhaps a family member or friend can guide you to the right place. The fact that you have decided to act is a good thing and a smart thing. You must understand that your back pain pain may go away with Advil or Aleve, but ask why does it keep returning? How long has it been since you actually felt good? Are you getting restful sleep? Have people told you how cranky you have been?
Naturally, we all turn to the web for information. Then you have to deal with too much information which can be confusing. I hope this article makes your decision process easier. If you have a bulging or herniated disc causing your back pain you could benefit from spinal decompression. If you have chronic low back pain from spinal stenosis there is a good chance that spinal decompression would help. Sciatica caused by a disc can be helped as well. Chronic conditions are those lasting more than six months that do not appear to be going away or resolving on their own. These would be ideal conditions for successful treatment with spinal decompression.
Let's go into the buts. Spinal decompression can be successful but you need to have proper biomechanics in your spine to have a lasting effect. All too often people will tell me how they are strengthening their core to help their back pain. That's great but if the structure is not mechanically sound the strengthening won't make a significant impact. Think of it this way, you have a student who speaks Spanish and you are trying to teach him math in English. Sure it's great to teach him math but if he does not fully understand what you are saying how much good are you doing?
The skeletal system holds us up, when there are excessive stresses placed on the skeletal system there can be mechanical issues that complicate your body's ability to perform. Doesn't it make sense to fix the underlying structure then work on your core strength? Our patients are evaluated on the structural level. We must find the biomechanical deficits to begin the healing process we hope to accomplish with spinal decompression. This usually involves chiropractic care that is performed until the skeletal system stabilizes. At this point, the decompression will be much more effective. Then core strengthening exercises become much more effective.
I hope you can understand that this is a common-sense approach that we espouse at Core Health Darien. We have been doing spinal decompression this way for over 20 years. Maybe, we can help you too.

 Are you experiencing heartburn? Maybe you are regurgitating food or liquid into your mouth? Is there a backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus causing acid reflux? Perhaps you have difficulty swallowing or shortness of breath? These are all possible signs that you might have a hiatal hernia. If it is really bad you could have bloody stools. You need to see a doctor soon.
A Hiatal Hernia is a condition in which the upper part of your stomach bulges through an opening in your diaphragm. Your diaphragm is the thin muscle that separates your chest from your abdomen. Your diaphragm helps keep acid from coming up into your esophagus. There is a muscle called the pyloric sphincter that may be involved. The pyloric sphincter is a ring of smooth muscle that connects the stomach and small intestine. It opens and closes to control the passage of partially digested food and stomach juices from the pylorus to the duodenum. If it gets stuck open acid is allowed to come back up causing some of the symptoms outlined above.
Antacids are the most common medication you might use for relief. If your symptoms last longer then a few weeks you might be prescribed a proton pump inhibitor to decrease acid release in the stomach. The problem here is that you are addressing the symptoms. Long term use may cause a risk of fractures, pneumonia, diarrhea, hypomagnesemia, vitamin B12 deficiency, chronic kidney disease, and dementia. A pretty scary thing to consider.
What you can do is to lose weight and change your diet. Then you may just consider seeing a chiropractor, yes, a chiropractor. Find one who is trained in treating Hiatal hernias, there are not many. I happen to be one. Let me explain.
The diaphragmatic opening may be stuck in the open position due to your ribs being out of place. Have you ever stopped your car with a seat belt on? Of course, we all have. The sudden jolt can put your rib cage out of place. Maybe you took a bad spill skiing, or you were pulled suddenly when walking your dog. Accidents like these can cause the ribs to subluxate. There is the connective tissue that attaches to the rib cage that can cause the hiatal opening to be stuck in the open position.
Now you are wondering how we fix this? Well, it requires an exam to see if your ribs are torqued. That may require what we call an adjustment. Next, we have to manually pull the tissue back down where it belongs. This might be a little uncomfortable but it can work when there are findings to substantiate the treatment. Now lets put this in perspective. You need to see your medical doctor first. I refuse to take a patient who has not gone through a complete medical workup. All the symptoms I mentioned above can be really serious. Everything else needs to be ruled out before I would consider seeing you. Hopefully, this makes sense. We don't see many cases but when we do we are fairly successful at helping these patients. I think you agree that staying away from proton pump inhibitors makes sense.

The spinal decompression machine has the ability to create negative pressure within the herniated disc. By gently pulling on the affected disc we are able to coax the disc back where it belongs. This takes pressure off the nerve root that came from the herniated disc material.The reduction in pressure offers relief. Serious relief for chronic back pain sufferers is now a lot more available as an option to surgery.

Spinal decompression for low back pain has been around for centuries.It has been dramatically improved in the last decade with newer technology allowing us to yield better results. Many people with failed back surgeries have gotten results that alluded them until trying the machine.

You may be surprised to know that over 50 % of all back surgeries fail. Non-surgical decompression is a superior treatment for back pain. Combined with cold laser spinal decompression is a superior option for people seeking relief from chronic back pain issues.

Dr.Mckay of Core Health in Darien has been providing residents of Darien, Norwalk, New Canaan and Stamford non-surgical low back spinal decompression for over 15 years.All treatments for chronic back pain are not the same. I should know I had a bad back once. I bought the technology because I had nowhere to turn for my own back issues.

Headaches. Haven't you Suffered Enough?

I often wonder why people with chronic headaches continue to take medications that are not curing the headache. Are headaches something you have to learn to live with? I think that the headache sufferer would do better by stepping outside the "Big Pharma Mentality" and seek alternatives that may just help. There is no guarantee that any one alternative treatment is going to help the headache sufferer, the question here is what do you have to lose by trying something different?
 If your medications worked why do your headaches keep coming back? Any treatment that doesn't cure is called palliative. When your head is pounding, sure it makes sense to take something to relieve the pain. I wouldn't call this a cure its to stop the pain. What if there was a way to prevent the headache in the first place? I am here to tell you that many different headaches can be helped by a chiropractor. Yes, this may come across as self-serving. I am basing this in 30 years of treating all kinds of headaches, migraine, cluster, sinus, occipital to name a few.
I started to use a laser to treat really tough migraine headaches. I use an intranasal laser to stimulate the sphenopalatine ganglion which is a group of nerve cells that is linked to the trigeminal nerve, the main nerve involved in migraine headaches. The SPG, located behind the nose, carries information about sensation, including pain, and also plays a role in autonomic functions, such as tearing and nasal congestion. Often I hear that I have a sinus headache, how would you know if it is going to work if you don't try it?
What chiropractors look for are called subluxations. This is when a bone puts pressure onto nerves blocking the brain's ability to communicate, often a painful experience. A good chiropractic adjustment is safe, comfortable, and effective. Many headache cases we see have subluxations in the base of the skull at an area called the Atlanto-Occipital joint. If you are subluxated here there is increased pressure on the brain stem. Let me tell you, pressure on the brainstem can definitely cause headaches. Your neurologist is not trained to treat subluxations. Would you rather live with headaches or try something out of the pharmacological realm?
You might be afraid to go to a chiropractor for headaches. Maybe you think they will get worse, I understand that. Find a chiropractor that you are comfortable with and address your concerns. It may not be for you. I urge you to give it a try, you might miss out on being free of headache misery. If you have any questions call me at 203-656-3636. I would be happy to answer any of your questions. If I don't think I can help you I can refer you to someone who I feel would be a good fit. If you are not okay living with debilitating headaches just do something to make your life better.

Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian McKay

If the migraine headache victim does not feel adequate improvement more tests such as an MRI or Ct Scan could be in order. Personally I prefer to get a brain MRI early on to rule out brain growths or other serious conditions that can trigger migraine headache symptoms. It is constantly much better to be on the mindful side. Years ago before there were MRI's I had a cousin who had a brain growth that went undiscovered. The x ray did not show anything and technology was far behind.It was an enduring though that clients with chronic headaches need MRI's to make better diagnoses. I will never ever let a client go more then 4 weeks without innovative studies if they are not advancing enough.

I wish to take this time to explain the adjustment process. Many people are afraid the procedure out of the unknown. They have heard aspects of it so they are wary if not afraid of the process. The chiropractic doctor will examine and x-ray the client. They must take a history to identify any complicating factors. After this is done a treatment plan is given to the client to remove the nerve interference. When the subluxations eliminate the nerve disturbance the brain is able to communicate with the body more efficiently and there is a decrease in pain too. The chiropractor will use his hand or an instrument to move the bone triggering the discomfort. Often relief can be felt right away. My strict recommendation is that the patient has to be 50 % much better in 4 weeks of care. They might not be healed but they need to see sufficient progress to warrant additional treatment.
Among the best advantages of chiropractic care in the treatment of migraine headaches is that there is no damage to the liver, kidney or digestive tract track. Migraine victims have their headaches for years, in most cases they are chronic in nature. The chances are they have self medicated with pain relievers like Advil, Aleve and Tylenol. All of these medications have adverse effects. When somebody is in pain they will certainly review the recommended daily dose despite the damage it might do. The adage more is better is used even though there are cautions on the bottle versus doing so. Long term abuse of nonprescription medications cause major issues like liver or kidney disease and they can wear down the tummy too. Prolonged use of Nsaids are severe and can threaten your health. These are severe consequences specifically due to the reality they could be aided with a simple chiropractic change.
Migraine headaches make up billions of dollars of wasted time at work and numerous hours of suffering for those unfortunate sufficient to obtain them. Regrettably there has been little new to offer headache sufferers in the method of relief. I desire migraine and routine headaches victims to consider that which is old to be brand-new once more. It might imply long lasting results and relief they have not been provided before. What I have in mind is old fashioned chiropractic care to free up subluxations in the neck. When bones revile they can place excessive pressure on the nerves that feed the head. This alone can trigger incredible amount of nerve pain. Removing the upseting bone will certainly alleviate the pressure and discomfort efficiently lowering the

How Does Knee Pain Occur?
There are many things that can cause knee pain. Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis would be the most common examples. Osteoarthritis is a very common reason for knee pain. As we age the knee produces less synovial fluid. This viscous fluid helps cushion the knee. Less cushioning means more wear and tear on the meniscus which causes knee pain. This, in turn, leads to more osteoarthritis also called the old age of the knees.
Trauma from sports or accidents is another cause of knee pain. Often severe trauma requires surgical intervention. This would be more likely to be from tears to the anterior cruciate ligament and to a lesser extent to the posterior cruciate ligament. These ligaments attach the tibia to the femur.
When you extend your leg (thnk of kicking a soccer ball) this motion is called extension. At the final point of extension, there is a locking motion that can irritate the meniscus if the forces are applied at the wrong location. This can be a big reason you have knee pain.
Overweight people tend to have more knee pain. Losing weight will always help the knees feel better.
Runners are at risk for knee pain from all the pounding the knees get from all those miles. People who climb ladders seem to have more knee pain. So the question is, who doesn't get knee pain? Not many people these days.

How to get knee pain relief?
Knee pain relief can be obtained initially by icing a sore knee and resting the leg at an incline.NSAIDs are often used to help pain and inflammation of the knee. Some people use knee braces for their knee pain. The brace is used during activity to help support the knee. There are knee injections using rooster cartilage or synthetic hyaluronic acid to replace lost synovial fluid. One can always turn to surgery to repair a torn or frayed meniscus. Knee pain from an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament can require surgery to repair. However, if it is minor you may escape surgery and allow it to heal on its own. This type of injury is usually related to trauma, in fact, it has ended the careers of many football players. The most serious type of knee pain relief would be from totally replacing the knee joint.  Longer lasting knee pain would benefit from the Knee on Trac Solution. Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian McKay is the only facility in Fairfield County to offer this treatment for chronic knee pain.

The Knee on Trac Solution for Knee Pain

Core Health Darien Dr.Brian McKay has begun offering a superior treatment for chronic knee pain. What makes this treatment superior is that it works on several levels. The Knee on Trac device allows for gentle traction to help stimulate the production of synovial fluid. If you have knee pain, you may have heard about hyaluronic acid injections sometimes referred to as rooster cartilage, which is what it is. Your orthopedic will inject hyaluronic acid into the knee joint. This will hopefully add to the volume of synovial fluid. It does work temporarily for about 40% of the people who try it.

The Knee on Trac Solution helps your body produce more of its own synovial fluid. The Matrix is a unique treatment that we offer as part of the Knee on Trac Solution. This therapeutic treatment helps stimulate chondrocytes in the meniscus of the knee. The meniscus is the cartilage type of disc that separates the tibia and the femur, as a cushion. Through years of wear and tear, it starts to break down contributing to your knee pain and osteoarthritis sets in. Core Health Darien is the only facility to offer this treatment in Fairfield County, CT.

The remaining part of the in-office treatment is called Trigenics. These are special supervised exercises we perform on you each visit. We target those muscles that contribute to your knee pain. They are particularly effective in eliminating knee pain when combines with IASTM, [Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization.]

So what remains is how do you benefit from The Knee on Trac Solution? First, we need to do an examination. We have had cases of people who had Total Knee Replacements fail come to us for relief and get it. I will caution you and tell you that we would only accept you as a patient after one-year post total knee replacement. Other people with torn or damaged meniscus seek us out when their physical therapy fails to yield relief from knee pain. Then we see good old knee osteoarthritis get tremendous relief.

Now, does everyone get better? You know the answer. But you sure have a fighting chance of getting rid of your knee pain. Some insurances cover the Knee on Trac Solution, which has to be verified with your insurance company. I invite you to come to learn more about the treatment that may be the answer to your chronic knee pain.

Vitamin D is an important factor in maintaining bone health to avoid osteoporosis.
 
Vitamin D has been shown to greatly reduce the risk of many types of cancer and increase survival. Adequate vitamin D may eliminate some depressive symptoms.
   
 It is established that vitamin D is beneficial for bone health and our studies demonstrate the importance of vitamin D for athletic performance within UK university students too
Vitamin D is important for bone metabolism, and regulates calcium concentrations in the blood.
 Since vitamin D is absorbed in the small intestine, a leaky and inflamed GI tract which is in people with low thyroid function reduces the absorption of vitamin Vitamin D is a potent immune modifying micronutrient and if vitamin D status is sufficient, it could benefit vulnerable adults, in particular, those 70+ years and older who are cocooning during the COVID-19 outbreak, concluded the report.
 The current recommended dietary allowance for vitamin D is 600 IU daily for people from 1 to 70 years old and 800 IU for people over 70.
 Vitamin D has been proven to reduce the risk of getting the common cold. In 2017, a large analysis of prospective clinical trials showed that taking vitamin D reduces the odds of developing a respiratory infection by approximately 42% in people with low baseline levels of Vitamin D
 Adequate Vitamin D may potentially provide some modest protection for vulnerable populations. Whether from diet or supplementation, having adequate vitamin D is important, especially for those at the highest risk of COVID-19.
Vitamin D may not prevent the virus but could help the host and how they deal with the virus. Thus supplementation of vitamin D is more important as we age. There is a very good reason why vitamin D have linked with cov19

Science supports the possibility although not the proof that Vitamin D may strengthen the immune system, particularly of people whose Vitamin D levels are low. It has both anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties and is crucial for the activation of immune system defenses.
Vitamin D is known to enhance the function of immune cells, including T-cells and macrophages, that protect your body against pathogens.
Findings suggest that vitamin D deficiency may partly explain the geographic variations in the reported case fatality rate of COVID-19, implying that supplementation with vitamin D may reduce the mortality from this pandemic.
A higher level of vitamin D is linked to a reduction in IL-6 levels, the latter being a proinflammatory cytokine. Vitamin D is an immunomodulator, acting through the innate immune cells called dendritic cells as well as the adaptive T cells.
As we age, our ability to make vitamin D is reduced by 75%.
Vitamin D is one of the most useful nutritional tools we have at our disposal during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vitamin D can be stored in the body in fat cells for an average of three months.
During periods of sunlight, vitamin D is stored in fat and then released when sunlight is gone suggesting that adequate levels of Vitamin D promotes good sleep.
