People no longer have to suffer from low back pain, leg pain and sciatica pain because of spinal decompression therapy. Spinal decompression therapy applies gentle traction to the spine and increases the amount of fluid in the disc. This should increase the space between the vertebrae of the spine and hopefully un-pinch the pinched nerves that are causing your pain.

A disc herniation is like a jelly doughnut with the jelly sticking out of the side of the doughnut. With spinal decompression we hope to bring the jelly that is sticking out back into the center. This is of course a very simplified explanation of a disc herniation and spinal decompression therapy but it works.

So if you have back pain and or back pain that goes into your buttock and leg call now and schedule for first appointment. Discover why spinal decompression therapy is now the gold standard for back and sciatica pain.

Yoga exercises are great for relieving low back pain and overall health. The primary goal of back pain relief exercises is to elongate the spinal and balance the muscles of the body in order to provide support and protection to the spine and discs.

These exercises are great yoga exercises for back pain relief. Now please do each exercise slowly and carefully and make sure you check with your Doctor and Chiropractor to make sure these exercises are ok and safe for you to do. And of course you should work with a trained instructor.

Here are the three exercises:

1.  Sun Salutation:  stand in an upright position and hold your hands in a prayer position in front of your chest.  Inhale deeply and slowly raise your arms over your head. If this feels good that’s great. You can stop here or you can continue and slowly bend forward. It is not necessary to touch the floor all you have to do is stretch forward to a nice comfortable stretch. You do not want to feel any pain at all.

2.  The Corpse: lie flat on your back in a relaxed position, place your arms at your sides, with your palms down, and keep your legs flat down in a relaxed position and have your knees out turned slightly. Now just breathe deeply and let the stress and strain float out of your body.

3.  The Cat Pose: the starting position is to be on your  knees and hands  and keep your back flat. Keep your hands directly under your shoulders and keep your knees directly under your hips. Now relax and loosely face the floor and take several deep breathes. Inhale deeply and and then as you exhale arch your back and tuck your chin into your chest and tuck your tailbone. Keep this posture for 5 to 10 seconds or more if it feels good and then return to the starting position.

Please always see your Chiropractor, Doctor or Physical Therapist before starting any exercise program.

Back pain relief is the goal of millions of people around the world. Often times it seems to be quite elusive especially when you have everyone telling you how they cured their own problem.  However, I am going to tell you the one simple exercise that works approximately 80% of the time in getting rid of your aches.  I am also going to give you 2 additional tips to speed up your healing.

Tip # 1:
First be sure to always be properly hydrated as dehydration is one of the leading causes of muscle spasms and sciatica. A good rule is to try to drink at least 1 L of water a day. I have even read literature that recommends you to drink 2 to 3 L of water a day. Water is necessary t maintain proper muscle balance and tone and will help get rid of and prevent cramps and Charlie horses.

Tip #2:
Take a daily calcium and magnesium combination multivitamin. This supplement balances the minerals and nutrients in the muscles and not only works as a natural relaxant when you have a problem but it will also help prevent spasms as well.

The main exercise:
The one exercise to relieve your back pain is as follows. Lie on you back and gently move close to a wall and place the heels of your foot on the wall. Start out by having your legs at a 45% angle going up the wall and stretch your arms over your head. You should feel your spine and muscles stretching. As you become more flexible and your pain decreases move your feet up the wall so that your legs are close to a 90% angle. Now this exercise takes some practice so please work your way into this stretch.

We do accept almost every insurance there is.

Sciatica pain is pain is usually on one side of your back that goes into your buttock and into your leg and down into your lower leg area below your knee.

You can get sciatica from lifting heavy objects, car accidents, work accidents, gardening, playing sports or even by brushing your teeth and twisting the wrong way.

You should always see your Family Doctor or Family Chiropractor if you experience any type of back pain or sciatic nerve pain for an appropriate evaluation and treatment program.

Here is my Sciatic Nerve Pain Relief Treatment Protocol that I have many of my patients perform at home.

But please do not attempt these exercises until you have been properly evaluated by your Family Doctor or Family Chiropractor and they tell you that you can do these exercises.

1. To decrease the inflammtion of the Sciatic nerve you should lay on your side with your painful side up; then palce a pillow between your knees and place an ice pack on the painful area for 10 to 15 minutes. You can do this 2 to 3 times a day. Just make sure that you wait 2 hours between each ice therapy session.

2. Lay on your back and gently and slowly bring one knee to your chest and gently hold it there for 20 seconds and then repeat this with the other leg. You can do this exercise a total of 3 times per leg.

This exercise should feel really good and not hurt at all so if it does hurt immediately stop this exercise.

3. Lay on your back and slowly and gently bring both knees to your chest at the same time and hold them to your chest for 20 seconds. Perform this exercise a total of three times.

Remember this should feel good but if it hurts stop the exercise immediately.

4. Lay on your back and bring one leg up with the knee pointing straight up towards the ceiling. Hold the knee up by holding the back of your leg with a long
bath towel and gently straighten and extend your leg. Then bring your foot down. You can repeat this maneuver 8 to 10 times with both legs.

Acupuncture has been used to effectively treat back pain for centuries. In fact acupuncture succeeds at relieving back pain and sciatica pain when most other types of treatments and therapies fail to provide pain relief.

In my 21 years of practice I have found acupuncture to be almost a miracle cure.

The only problem is that most people are afraid of the acupuncture needles. This fear of needles usually prevents people from experiencing the pain relief benefits of acupuncture.

Acupuncture's pain relief benefits can be achieved without the use of needles.

In fact centuries ago the original developers of acupuncture did not use needles.

They used their fingers to apply pressure to specific points on the body to obtain pain relief. So the original treatments were primarily acupressure.

It really does not matter if you use your fingertips, needles, or breakthrough treatment technologies like electric micro-current, derma-ray of electric therapy or modern day light and laser therapy to stimulate these acupuncture points. Just as long as you stimulate these points your pain should go away.

Personally in my 21 years of practice I found that the modern day technologies and treatments of laser and light therapy and micro-current and derma ray therapy work better than the feared needle treatments and acupressure.

That is why in my office we use laser and light therapy, micro-current therapy and derma ray therapy instead of needles. Our patients get pain relief from the use of these treatments when other methods have failed to help them.

There is debate within the fibromyalgia community whether or not a total of 11 out of 18 points must test positive in order to be given a diagnosis of fibromyalgia.  I treat severe fibromyalgia patients every day, day in and day out, and my feeling on whether 11 points must test positive is "who cares?"  Fibromyalgia is a name, a label so to speak, that many doctors put on patients because they don't understand why they have widespread pain all over the body.  In reality when looking at tender points you are only measuring the symptoms but ignoring the cause, which is central nervous system dysfunction.

I have never met a doctor who was not interested in seeing his or her patients get well, to return to normal activities and lifestyle.  Unfortanately fibromyalgia is not the typical disease or illness that can be treated with traditional medical interventions, and then have it go away.  Out of frustration doctors label chronic pain patients with fibromyalgia as a way of saying "Mrs. Smith you have fibromyalgia, their is nothing that can be done for you, sorry." In a way, its an out, an escape, from the patient that just won't get better.  Doctors want to help but I just see too many grow frustrated because they are trying to treat a complex problem with an approach that doesn't work for fibromyalgia.

At my Philadelphia Fibromyalgia Treatment Center, we specialize in Fibromyalgia Therapy, a cutting edge, non-drug approach that deals directly with the cause of Fibromyalgia.  We realize that every person is different, and we take an individual, customized approach to each case that has been amazingly successful. 

If you would like to find out if you are a candidate for care at our Fibromyalgia Treatment Center in Philadelphia, PA Just Call 215-332-4770 and schedule your appointment now.
