A Guide To Seeking Herniated Disc Treatment In New York

Q: Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors adjust or manipulate misaligned vertebrae (the bones of your spinal column) to restore correct functioning of your central nerve system. They may also work with other parts of your body affected by the misaligned vertebrae. Chiropractors may do this by using their hands and various mechanical and electrical instruments. “D.C.” stands for “Doctor of Chiropractic,” the degree New York licensed chiropractors must earn.Chiropractors care for patients suffering from a wide variety of symptoms as their cause relates to the spine, such as headaches; numbness; back, shoulder, neck, chest, rib, arm and leg pain; abnormal curvature of the spine; muscle spasms; dizziness; and even some stress, disorders, among others.

Q: Super-Pulsed Laser Therapy

Cold laser therapy is low-intensity laser therapy (Low level laser therapy) that stimulates healing while using low levels of light. The technique is called “cold” laser therapy because the low levels of light aren't enough to heat your body's tissueLow-level laser therapy is a form of medicine that applies low-level lasers or light-emitting diodes to the surface of the body. Whereas high-power lasers are used in laser medicine to cut or destroy tissue, it is claimed that application of low-power lasers relieves pain or stimulates and enhances cell function

Q: ABC™ Structural Correction

Known as the posture fix technique, Advanced BioStructural Correction™, known as ABC™ for short, is a revolutionary structural application which corrects spinal structure and function through the use of specific spinal, pelvic and extremity adjustments, in combination with specialized stretches called meningeal releases.

Q: Spinal Decompression Therapy

Nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy is a type of motorized traction that may help relieve back pain. Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine. That changes the force and position of the spine. This change takes pressure off the spinal disks -- gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine -- by creating negative pressure in the disc.As a result, bulging or herniated disks may retract, taking pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine. This helps promote movement of water, oxygen, and nutrient-rich fluids into the disks so they can heal.

Q: Shockwave Therapy

Shock wave therapy has emerged as a possible treatment option for patients with chronic tendon problems. The procedure uses either pressurized air or electromagnetic pulses to delivers shock waves to the body to help treat a variety of chronic disorders.Shockwave therapy, or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT), is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute or chronic pain.

If you are suffering from painful spinal problems, you will find that your daily activities and routines can be severely disrupted. When you seek herniated disc treatment in New York, you can say goodbye to your pain and suffering once and for all. In this article, find out more about this condition and how it is treated.

Disc herniation often shows no symptoms at all. The patient may feel pain in the low back as well as the buttocks, legs, and feet. This type of pain is called sciatica as it causes numbness in the feet and legs. Some people will even experience neck pain in their back and on the sides of their neck.

The main goal of treatment for a patient is to help alleviate their symptoms of disc herniation. To achieve this objective, your treatment plan must be individualized based on the source of your discomfort and its severity. When the Chiropractor examines your source of pain, he or she will decide the best course of therapy.

Spinal discs are designed like a jelly donut with a soft center. Any abnormal rupture such as an injury is referred to herniation. The most common areas for ruptured discs to occur are in the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back.

Most qualified chiropractors start a course of non-invasive treatment, unless the extent of the damage is so vast and advanced that they advise the patient to resort to surgery. When discs are herniated, they can also be called protrusion, prolapse, extrusion, or rupture. This is a painful spinal condition that occurs when the jelly-like substance leaks through a tear in the annulus fibrosus before poking out.

To understand the word herniation better, you need to know more about protrusion, which is contained herniation. Extrusion, on the other hand, is non-contained herniation, and finally, sequestration is fragment. Herniations are first located via an axial. For instance, a central herniation would be at a six o’clock position, a para-central herniation at seven o’clock position, and a foraminal herniation at eight o’clock position.

It is not always possible to prevent herniation, however, there are some steps you can take to minimize your risk. Using proper lifting techniques will prevent damage to your back. Never bend your knees at the waist and always keep your back straight to help support the load. You must also try and maintain a healthy weight as the extra pounds can put pressure on the back.

Practicing good posture when sitting down, standing, and sleeping is also another effective way to prevent discs from rupturing. You should sit with your feet elevated or flat on the floor. Sleeping on a firm mattress and on your side rather than the stomach will also be helpful. Never sit for long periods of time and avoid wearing high heels as they can cause damage to your feet. By exercising regularly, your muscles in the legs and back will be toned and flexible. These prevention methods should help you avoid experiencing back problems.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese healing method based on the concept that “Qi” (energy) flows throughout the body and the insertion of hair fine needles can increase and correct blockages of flow. Treatment facilitates blood circulation, oxygenating and transporting nutrients to the cells.

Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, which can help alleviate pain and correct imbalances that lead to disease and associated symptoms. Post treatment, you may feel relaxed, energized or uplifted.

Patients seeking a safe, painless alternative to prescription medication or the many side effects that accompany traditional medication, have found acupuncture to be both effective and successful.

Redcord Therapy

OptoGait Analysis

What is OptoGait

is a system for optical detection made by a transmitting and a receiving bar. Each one contains 96 LEDs communicating on an infrared (visible) frequency with the same number of LEDs on the opposite bar. Once positioned on the floor or on the treadmill, the system detects the interruptions of the communication between the bars - caused by the patient’s movement - and calculates the duration and position. During the execution of a running, gait or series of jumps test, the contact and flight times can be measured with an accuracy of 1 thousandth of a second and the position of the interrupted LEDs with a space resolution of 1,041 cm. Starting from this basic data, the dedicated software measures in real-time a series of crucial data for the movement analysis

DIERS formetric 4D

The DIERS formetric is a light-optical scanning method based on Video-Raster-Stereography (VRS). Accordingly, the system consists of a light projector which projects a line grid on the back of the patient which is recorded by an imaging unit. A computer software analyzes the line curvature and generates from it – by means of the method of the Photogrammetrie – a three-dimensional model of the surface, comparable to a plaster cast. In opposition to x-ray, the DIERS formetric provides comprehensive information about the whole body statics and posture in only one measuring process, e.g. spine curvature (lateral and frontal), vertebral rotation, and pelvic position. Even muscular dysbalances can be detected based on the curvature image of the back surface.
