Spinal Decompression Centers

Spinal decompression centers are places where patients with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, protruded disks, foraminal stenosis, sciatica, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, lower back pain, and post surgical back pain are treated.

Diabetic Neuropathy

Diabetic neuropathy is a painful and debiliating problem for which little can be done with medication. Fortunately, some natural treatments are showing promise in not only easing symtoms but in actually improving nerve function.

Diabetic neuropathy is one of the more painful problems that occurs with the progression of diabetes. Neuropathy is another term for nerve damage, and in this case, it is nerve damage resulting from inadequate blood supply to the nerves. The blood supply becomes restricted by atherosclerotic plaque formation in the small blood vessels that supply the nerves, and this is a common result of increased blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) associated with diabetes.

Vitamins: The Importance of the 12 B vitamin

The 12 b vitamin is one of the b vitamins that are essential to
maintain a healthy body. Otherwise known as Cobalamin, the 12b vitamin
is needed for the processes to convert the carbohydrates, fats and
proteins from food into energy. 12 b also, more importantly, helps keep
the red blood cells healthy and therefore prevent heart disease as well
as keeping the immune system functioning at its maximum level. In
addition, 12 b is used to create the protective covering of all nerve
cells in the body.

Poor Posture Contributing to Back Pain, Neck Pain and General Fatigue.

Poor Posture Contributing to Back Pain, Neck Pain and General Fatigue.

According to the British Chiropractic Association 32% of the population spends more than 10 hours per day sitting. It has been found from research that the 90 degree sitting position causes greater spinal disc movement than any other sitting position. 

Without careful thought and an understanding of how to maintain good posture throughout the day, whether at work or at home, illness can result caused by muscular, disc and joint disorders and constriction of blood vessels and nerves, all of which can contribute to back and neck pain, as well as headaches and fatigue.
