  • Darien CT Frozen Shoulder Core Health Dr.Mc Kay 203-656-3636

    What Causes Frozen Shoulder?

    It is not known exactly what causes this condition. Immobilization of the shoulder (after an arm injury, for instance) can lead to a frozen shoulder. Inflammation of the muscles and/or tendons, as with rotator cuff tendinitis or bursitis, can also cause the shoulder joint to become frozen. The glenohumeral joint is surrounded by muscles and tendons and held together by ligaments. When the balance between the ligaments, tendons, and muscles is interrupted the tissue form what are called adhesions. Adhesions turn fascia, the covering of the muscles into raisins. Raisins? Are you crazy?


    What's am Adhesion?

    Adhesions are easy to visualize as raisins. Muscle tissue should resemble grapes. When the fascia becomes irritated the covering shrivels up and causes pain that would limit motion. The more something hurts the less likely you are to use it. Adhesions in my estimation are a big cause of adhesive capsulitis. Like any muscles that are not used they will atrophy. So now when I mention atrophy the raisin-to-grape analogy would make more sense. There are many nerves in the fascia which is another reason shoulder pain due to adhesions is so painful

    Muscles That Cause Frozen Shoulder

    If you have had trauma to your shoulder there can be other muscles involved. What I am going to tell you is that there are 4 primary muscles involved in adhesive capsulitis. BY addressing these muscles first we find the most success in treating shoulder pain.

    Subscapularis

    The Subscapularis the muscle found in front of your scapula internally rotates the humerus and brings it closer to the midline of the body. It also protects the shoulder from moving out of place in a forward direction.

    The Latissimus Dorsi

    The latissimus dorsi is responsible for a lot of things. It helps to stabilize your pelvis, it goes all the way down from your shoulder to your lumbar spine. The lats play an extremely important role in stabilizing the neck, shoulder, back, and hips. Think of the latissimus as the anchor of your back. An unstable shoulder needs to be rectified when you have a frozen shoulder.

    The Middle Deltoid

    Of the three Deltoid muscles,the Middle Deltoid is the one we see most often involved with cases of frozen shoulder. There are three heads of the deltoid muscle group. They help lift the arm front, side, and backward. The anterior and posterior portions are stronger and are usually safe from strains. It is interesting to note that the deltoid muscle is the largest arm muscle there is, even larger than the pectoralis muscles.

    The supraspinatus is most commonly injured because there are three different positions where it can become compressed. Overuse of the shoulder can cause the muscle and tendons to become inflamed.  The supraspinatus stabilizes the shoulder joint by keeping the head of the humerus firmly pressed medially against the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The supraspinatus moves the shoulder inwards and allows you to lift the arm. When we treat frozen shoulder we typically start by working the supraspinatus.

    Core Health Darien treats frozen shoulders by lengthening and strengthening the muscles we mentioned in this article. We also use shockwave therapy to break.  down adhesions that prevent proper motion and can cause serious pain. We are able to see results much faster than non-specific physical therapy. Call us at 203-656-3636 if you would like to be evaluated for your shoulder problem.

  • Sciatica Stamford Darien Norwalk New Canaan 203-656-3636
    Exactly what is Sciatica you ask


    Sciatica is discomfort that diminishes beyond the thigh down the back of the thigh when it is truly bad and can enter into the foot. Particular cases will have tingling and tingling along with sharp shooting discomfort. Going from a seated to a standing position can provoke discomfort and some discover getting in and from the vehicle to be hard. Others will discover relief resting on one's side. The discomfort can be incapacitating.

    The discomfort generally impacts just one leg and might worsen when you sit, cough, or sneeze. The leg might likewise feel numb, weak, or tingly sometimes. It is often one-sided in its discussion and it can make your life unpleasant. Exactly what you need to understand is that it can be assisted particularly if you act rapidly. Yes, it is all right to take Advil or Aleve to reduce the pain. Try to comprehend the mechanical contribution to your sciatica that will not be fixed through medication alone. So think about massage, physical treatment, or seeing a chiropractic physician as legitimate treatment options.

    Sciatica occurs from various underlying pathologies like back degenerative disc illness, spondylolisthesis, spine stenosis, or osteophytes, and arthritis in the spinal column. These conditions have 2 things in typical, discomfort and absence of movement. By setting in motion the ilia( pelvic bones you have one on each side) and the sacrum (the big triangle-formed bone that is the base of your spinal column) you will minimize the discomfort drastically by strengthening the base. The more steady the base the less the supporting muscles will need to do. When the ilia and sacrum are effectively placed they use the spine vertebra with sufficient assistance and you will have less sciatic discomfort.

    When instability exists in the hips the lumbar (lower back) spine bones can vacate location triggering additional tension on the nerves that leave the spinal column near the sacroiliac joint. The nerves are huge and can trigger great deals of discomfort when pinched by bones or disc material. Lasting relief frequently needs severe action. Who understands you might even have to begin working out to remove the terrible pain in the back? Some are fortunate adequate to have the discomfort disappear on its own, though unusual it is possible.

    An easy natural home remedy would be to warm up a tub and put some Epsom salts into the bath water. Make your method into the tub extremely gradually. Let the heat and magnesium in the salts permit your overworked muscles to unwind. Take your time these muscles have actually been working overtime to support your unsteady spinal column. By unwinding the muscles you will take the extra stress off and reduce up your sciatic discomfort.

  • Stamford, Darien, Norwalk, New Canaan CT - Neck Pain & trouble Sleeping

    Is your neck pain causing you to lose sleep?

    Rarely do people take note of how they sleep when they are having pain. The pain is the big draw and is what usually gets you to act. But if you pay close attention you may notice that you are not getting quality sleep when your neck hurts. I am going to tell you why in as simple a way I can think of.

    Nerves help the brain control your entire body. When a nerve is compressed it limits the functionality of nerve transmission to and from the brain. Chances are when your spinal bones are misaligned they can cause you to have pain. The displaced spinal bones also can cause you to lose sleep. The cervical bones in your neck want to be in the right place. When they are not it makes it difficult for you to get comfortable enough to obtain restful REM sleep.

    Now for the complicated explanation, I warned you about earlier. At the top of your neck lies that brain stem. The brain stem is a relay point for most of the nerves in your body. They go through the brain stem and then upwards to the various parts of the brain. There is a nerve bundle called the Reticular Activating System. It deals with your awake and sleep cycles. That is the extent of the complicated explanation.

    When spinal bones compress the Reticular Activating System it becomes harder for your body to drift off to restful sleep. What is the takeaway? A chiropractor can really help put the vertebra where they belong. Most of us rely on Advil to quell the pain. So if you reach for Advil the pain will subside but you still may have pressure on your nerves. Now restful sleep becomes more problematic as your body tends to heal when you sleep.

    My advice is don't ignore pain if your neck hurts and if you want to get better sleep. Again, this is where a chiropractor can really help. Now I know most MDs will tell you to stay away from chiropractors. They may understand medicine but they are lacking in the mechanics of your body and how they relate to nervous system function. It is all about structure and function. The body is a biomechanical wonder that needs attention you can not get from medicine alone.

    If you have neck pain and would like to sleep better call me. Dr.Brian McKay 203-656-3636 Core Health Darien is located at 551 Post Road in Darien.

  • Darien, Norwalk, New Canaan CT - Neck Pain Usually Worse in the Summer
    Neck Discomfort  Darien


    Perhaps you have had a little problem resting where you can not appear to obtain comfy. Maybe you have an old neck injury that creates you to have neck discomfort every once in a while. These can be small inconveniences till they are not. Your neck begins to trouble you extra frequently, so you transform to Advil and also Aleve. When do you intend to quit the insanity? I recommend prior to it's far too late. Frequently easy neck discomfort morphs right into frustrations or shoulder discomfort. Exactly how close is the head as well as shoulders to the neck? Pretty close I would certainly state that several shoulder troubles as well as frustrations begin with the neck.

    Neck Pain Turns Into Headaches


    In case you did not know the nerves from the top neck enter into your head. This can create occipital migraines. An additional think about is the brainstem (medulla oblongata) mosts likely to the degree of the 2nd cervical vertebra. Ouch! , if That obtains squeezed.. When the cervical vertebra are misaligned these muscle mass are called to function also harder, the muscular tissues in your neck are not that solid so. The continuously stretched neck muscle mass placed included stress on the spinal nerves resulting in, you presumed it a lot more frustrations. My recommendation is to take treatment of a straightforward neck issue when it is small. Go see a chiropractic doctor as well as straighten the cervical spinal column. This can go a long way in preventing migraines as a result of underlying neck concerns.

    Neck Pain develops into Shoulder Pain


    The closeness of the cervical spinal column to the shoulders is plainly noticeable. The cervical spine nerves wrap at the base of the neck right into what is called the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus guidelines the upper extremities. The nerves regulate motor and also sensory control over the arms, certainly the shoulders also. When your neck is limited, maybe extra aching than normal it would certainly be a great time to see a chiropractic doctor for your neck discomfort. Think of resolving one issue prior to it comes to be much more challenging as well as develops into a neck as well as a shoulder issue. The factor I am attempting to make is that your neck is carefully pertaining to your shoulder. Neck discomfort left neglected over a long period of time can begin to trigger you to have shoulder issues. When attempting to rest, it can begin as easy as light pain in the neck. When you have a lot more discomfort and also much less rest it is time to discover a chiropractic physician to handle your neck discomfort.

  • Hip Pain Darien | Stamford CT| Core Health Darien 203-656-3636
    Hip Pain Stamford CT


     You may be shocked by the number of individuals who experience hip discomfort, particularly as they grow older. I recommend you venture to the closest Walmart and also have a look at just how a few of the seniors are easily moving around. Good chance they have had hip discomfort for a rather long time. They probably make good use of Advil or Aleve to handle the hip discomfort. There is a great probability that some will require hip replacement surgical treatment. If you desire to prevent hip surgical procedures you must read much more on this.

    Hip Pain for beginers 

    Hip discomfort is typically a wide term to define any type of pain in the location where you would certainly place your hands right into your pocket. The hip is actually comprised of 2 bones the ilium and also the femur, with each other they create the hip joint. Extreme wear can with time produce an excruciating discrepancy in the hips that results in deterioration of the hip joint. Left neglected this can cause the requirement for a medical hip substitute as the hip discomfort ends up being unbearable. A word of care, persistent hip discomfort can cause pelvic instability, making significant falls more likely.

    Prevent Hip Replacement.

    If you desire to stay clear of hip discomfort or hip substitute, the hips require to function mechanically efficiently. The hips contain the sacrum and also both ilia bones. When the hips are steady it sustains the femoral head much more effectively. You will certainly more than likely not have hip discomfort. Bones can subluxate as well as that uses to the ilia and also sacrum producing discomfort in your hip. This is where a chiropractic care modification of the hip can do you marvels. Biomechanical effectiveness will certainly maintain your hip functioning effectively as well as go a long way to assist you to stay clear of pain in the back. Massage therapy sessions might really feel great, yet it will certainly not do anything to restore the pelvic bones to their correct area.

    Hip Pain or Back Pain?


    Well is it hip pain or back pain? It may be both. The pelvis is a major driver of pain in the lower half of your body. When there is instability in the pelvis this can easily turn into a hip issue because the hips are supported by your pelvis, Similarly, when the lower back is hurting it can be from the pelvis not doing its job. Basically, if you want less hip pain and or lower back pain you should be under the care of your chiropractor. The chiropractor's job is to keep your skeletal system operating at mechanical efficiency. When your spine is mechanically sound it will function better to help you avoid pain in the back and hips.

    Chiropractic Care for Hip Pain.

    Chiropractic care can balance out an uneven pelvis that in many cases is the culprit in hip pain cases. Therapy or medication alone will not balance out bones that are out of place. A hip that has extra stress placed on it will cause you to have pain. If the problem persists it can lead to degeneration of the hip and ultimately lead to the need for hip replacement. Again be forwarned that a painful hip puts you at increased risk for a traumatic fall that can cause a hip fracture. Wouldn't it be easier to just get the hip fixed early on and save yourself the misery? 

    Core Health Darien has been fixing bad hips for over 30 years. If you would like help with your hip problem call us 203-656-3636.

  • Want to Save that Brain of Yours?

    How Old Is Your Brain?

    If you are getting close to your late 50s you are probably starting to notice your older relatives start to decline mentally. Maybe a little and for some, and quite noticeably for others. Now you may think there is nothing to worry about now. You probably eat well, get enough rest, and exercise a few days a week. You may even take a multi-vitamin along with your cholesterol-lowering medication. Let me ask you a question is that enough? Wouldn't you want to know what is in store for your golden years?

    Am I at Risk for Dementia?

    There is a test to tell whether or not you are at risk for dementia and Alzheimer's. The marker is a genetic test called APOE4. MIT researchers have found that the APOE4 gene is one of the most significant genetic risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease. It can affect your brain cells' ability to metabolize fats and cholesterol. So you have a problem gunking up your brain and it can really affect your brain's ability to function. It is like your brain is carrying around an extra 25 lbs. There is no medication to treat the APOE4 genetic marker. This is why you need to be on your best behavior now, while you can do something about it.

    Easiest Way to Test Alzheimer's APOE4 gene

    Everyone has heard of 23&Me? Well did you know it tests for the APOE4 genetic marker? I suggest that you take a look and see what your results show. If you have not done 23&Me maybe you should. Knowing what you are up against is the best way to tackle the onset of dementia and Alzheimers. There are no guarantees that you won't get either dementia or Alzheimers but at least you have a fighting chance and advance notice to make changes in your lifestyle that contribute to these diseases.
