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!!

You’re smart. The spinal column: a collection of nerves: controls movement of the extremities. The function of organs. And the Central Nervous System. Avoid becoming the next statistic. Pain is a precursor to a downward spiral to immobility disability even premature death.  Do yourself a favor. Be done with pain.

Spinal alignment -- What the Doctor Ordered

Blood flow—life of the central nervous system. The body—an intricately balanced machine. Blood flow through nerves possesses energy and information. Disruption causes disturbance of the intricately balanced system including the brain. Life itself is in jeopardy. Allow me to explain. But first…

Cardiavascular disease accounts for nearly one in every three deaths in the US. About 2,300 Americans die of cardiovascular disease each day. An average of one death every 38 seconds. (1) 

You love your car. You want your automobile to run smoothly. You provide the best care. Regular tune-ups. Your body deserves maintenance too. Health is your greatest asset. Energy diminishes from subluxation. Cells tissues and organs break down. Next…

Chronic pain. Disease. Immobility. Disability. At your doorstep! As we age degeneration naturally disrupts optimum blood flow. Energy decreases. Misalignment impingement inflammation increases. It happens to all of us starting at 40. And don’t discount childhood mishaps. Disruption of the spinal column at any age in any way is detrimental to health and welfare.

·        For general wellness / disease prevention: 43.6%

·        To improve energy: 16.3%

·        To improve athletic or sports performance: 15.4%

·        To improve immune function: 11.4%

·        To improve memory or concentration: 5.3% (2)

Depression and Chiropractic

Millions of Americans suffer from depression. Mild to severe. When the central nervous system is compromised quality of life is compromised. Welcome to the downhill spiral. But it doesn’t have to be. Let me explain. But first…

A study designed to test the correlation between chiropractic care and its impact on mental health was published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research on June 20, 2013. This study cited prior research that showed of the 2818 patients undergoing chiropractic care, 76% reported an improvement in their mental/emotional health.  As the spine becomes aligned and pain decreases, anxiety and depression sprouting from pain are proven to lessen throughout treatment. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, major depression at any point in time impacts roughly 3 to 5 percent of all people. (1)  National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1-800-273-8255.

Imbalances of the central nervous system cause physiological stress responses… Imbalance stemming from stress and misalignment can cause anxiety. Depression. Add/ADHD and Bipolar Mood Disorders. (2)

 Chiropractic Can Help Break the Cycle by addressing the cause of neurological imbalance. Chiropractic care removes misalignments allowing your body to find balance and optimal function so it’s able to begin the natural healing process. Reduce pain. Sleep better. Think clearer. Return to your activities of daily living. Need to talk to someone right now. Remove the subluxation. Safe. Effective. Specific Adjustments. Get help.
