Sciatica Pain Progression


Sciatic nerve pain ranges from uncomfortable to debilitating. Symptoms make it hard to sit stand and walk. And pain is progressive.  Don’t wait until symptoms don’t let you get through the day. Allow me to explain what to look for. But first…
Sciatica has been reported to occur in one to 10 % of the population most commonly in people age 25 to 45. 1
Sciatica can be felt through the entire lower body. Life becomes increasingly challenging. Pain typically progresses in the lower back into buttocks back of the legs and into feet. Symptoms are usually on one side of the body. But both sides can be affected. Maybe you know someone in discomfort or agonizing pain. 2
·        Traveling and shooting pain
·        Tingling burning numbness
·        Muscle weakness and loss of mobility
·        Discomfort near the hip bone or in the glute muscles
·        Difficulty sitting or standing
Sciatica symptoms vary based on where the compressed nerve root is located. Five nerves bundle together to form the sciatic nerve.  This bundle branches out again within the leg to deliver motor and sensory functions to specific destinations in the leg and foot.3 Pain subsides when lying down or walking.  And worsens standing and sitting. And varies from numbness to sharp searing shooting pain. Symptoms of pain may intensify during sudden movements. A mere sneeze or cough changing positions or moving from a sitting to standing position. Don’t be caught by surprise…
Sciatica has alternative treatments to reduce pain. Contact a trusted chiropractor for the cause of sciatic pain symptoms like I did. A painless safe proven natural alternative.  Treat the cause of pain not the symptoms. Pain reduction instantly. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Nervous system Strain

Nervous System Interference Stress Pain and Misalignment
Three big threats causing subluxation are physical trauma chemical trauma and autosuggestion or through trauma. Allow me to explain. But first…
Approximately 20% of nervous system interference can be attributed to physical injuries or poisons from outside the body like a slip fall or overdose according to the founder of Chiropractic DD Palmer. 80% can be traced back to persistent negative emotions or self-talk that literally builds tension in your muscles pull vertebrae out of alignment and freeze your nervous system in its tracks. 1 Don’t let this happen to you. When spinal deterioration advances to the point where symptoms prevent life from being enjoyable.  As we age the anatomical components that support the neck and back will naturally wear down as a result of use. Less flexibility and more neck and back pain result—normal. Degeneration most commonly occurs in the cervical spine (neck) or lumbar spine (lower back) due to undergoing most motion and wear and tear. When spinal deterioration advances to the point that symptoms interfere with regular activity treatment may be warranted. 2  And this doesn’t account for any injuries. I think you might know someone who suffers from…

Fibromyalgia Pain and Misalignment


Chronic pain affects the upper and/or the lower parts of the body. Some days are worse than others. Painfree living is a memory. But it doesn’t have to be. Let me tell you a secret. But first…
Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 4 million people in the US. Although 75 to 90 percent affected are women—Fibomyalgia also occurs in men and children of all ethnic groups. It is one of the most common chronic pain conditions. (1)
Fibromyalgia is chronic, widespread pain and stiffness all over the body. It causes sleep problems fatigue and often emotional and mental stress. Sensitivity to pain is common—abnormal pain perception processing—. This specific pain lasts three months or longer. Many people experience this chronic condition for years before being diagnosed:
·        Fatigue and tiredness
·        Depression and anxiety
·        Problems thinking memory and concentration
·        Headaches and migraines
·        Tingling and numbness in hands and feet
·        Digestive problems
·        Pain in face or jaw
Possible Causes of Fibromyalgia
Recent studies suggest changes in the central nervous system-the brain, spinal cord, and nerves may be responsible for fibromyalgia pain. The spinal cord is responsible for function of the central nervous system and function of organs and mobility. When subluxated we have problems… (2)
Other Factors that could cause Fibromyalgia:
·        Autoimmune Diseases
·        Infections
·        Family History
·        Trauma
·         
Yes physical and emotional trauma has been linked to fibromyalgia. Help is available. Getting diagnosed for fibromyalgia pain is a step to actively finding relief. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain. For more information...

Chronic Pain

Symptoms of disaster are silent. Misalignment worsens. Pian increases. Ailments are lurking. Be aware. One condition leads to another. Don’t be caught with the consequences of failing health. Let me show you the signs. But first…
Your fellow Americans want to increase mobility vitality and productivity like I do. The doctor says “keep moving” for many reasons. Would you be happy decreasing your pain and what inevitably comes next…
Pain. You feel your movement just isn’t right. Symptoms and health get worse sooner than later. “I was in bad shape with back pain. I was lucky to catch it and get help early. I wish I knew then what I know now.” Don’t let this phrase be what you say next month, six months or a year from now.
Identifying disabling misalignment is easier than you think. One hip is higher than the other. One leg shorter than the other. Maybe your spine twists to the right or the left. Possibly your head leans towards the right or left. (1) Maybe a little physical trauma, chemical forces, or stress have been in life. And don’t forget your neck is in jeopardy from texting. And…
As we age our body goes through changes. The body’s regenerative ability slows down. Think about how long that scrape, scratch, or bone fracture takes to heal compared to a few years ago. Age brings increasing degeneration of muscles joints and bones. It’s up to you to slow the process. Take action to improve your health now. It really is your decision. And you can do it. Take control today. And it's never too late!!
