Oh,
My Aching Back!
Over
the past eleven years, I have had great
success repairing herniated and damaged
discs.
There are so many names for these
problems, including slipped discs, bulging
discs, weak back, a back that goes out
easily, ruptured discs, degenerated discs,
arthritic back problems, low back pain,
sciatica, and more.
Effective
Non-Surgical Treatment
Total
Lowback Care Medical Group provides the most
effective non-surgical treatment for lower
backs which is called VAX-D.
VAX D is an in-office, outpatient
procedure.
It is so effective because the
treatment creates a vacuum in the disc space
allowing the disc space to fill with
nutrients, minerals and new cells to allow
the disc to repair naturally from the inside
out. I
have adapted this technology for the
correction of neck related problems, as well.
Vax-D
should be considered when the person is no
longer making improvements with other care,
such as Chiropractic, Pilates, Physical
Therapy, etc.
Vax-D has the ability to improve 93%
of these cases.
Protein
and Weak Discs
Through
the accomplishments I have had in dealing
with very difficult low back conditions, I
have found some little-known facts relating
to back problems.
Here are some tips to keep your discs
strong:
If
you do not supply the discs with enough
protein, the discs become weak and easily
injured. Hydrochloric
Acid (HCL) is the acid in the stomach used
to digest protein.
It
has been found that chronic
HCL deficiency in your stomach
can lead to a gradual weakening of the disc
material.
As someone gets older their body does
not produce enough HCL and this will
accelerate the symptoms of aging, not only
in the discs but in the joints.
There
is a theory that chronic HCL deficiency can
be seen by raised stripes of fingernail
tissue that forms lines on the fingernails.
Stomach acid is very, very acidic.
HCL supplements (called Betaine
Hydrochloride or Betaine HCL) will increase
the acidity in the stomach which will
accomplish a more complete protein
breakdown, not only allowing better
digestion but better nutrition for the
discs.
Some minerals, especially calcium can
only be absorbed by the body in a very
acidic environment.
This will make the discs strong.
Therefore,
to improve disc problems or to avert them,
you should take hydrochloric acid
supplements, multiple minerals, drink plenty
of water (at least ˝ of an ounce of water
per body weight pound – that is 75 ounces
a day for a 150 pound body), get 7 to 9
hours of sleep a night and some form of mild
exercise such as walking, low impact
aerobics, working out in a gym, Pilates,
etc., for flexibility and strength.
The
Seven Minute Stretch
The
other thing that I have found is that tight
hamstrings lead to chronic low back pain as
well. Plan
to stretch for more than seven minutes; this
will give you real improvement.
The length of time that you do your
stretching is more important than stretching
harder.
In order to make permanent
flexibility, it needs to be a constant
stretch with some pain.
And try to stretch every other day,
minimally.
It is very important not to stretch
with a rounded back or standing trying to
touch your toes, as this can create damage.
Stretch
with a perfectly straight back or arched,
not bent over.
Sit on the floor with your back
against the wall, and lean forward with a
straight back.
Remember, to do this for a seven
minute period.
Then you can find other areas that
you want to stretch and do those for seven
minutes, also.
Free
Screening
If
you are in doubt of what is causing your
back pain, I am offering a free back
screening and consultation to help determine
the source of your back pain.
