Can The Arc4Life Pillow Help With More Than Just Pain?

I have had numerous people tell us how it helped them sleep better too. Sometimes sleeping better is a result of decreased pain but not always. I have come across many who move around too much or currently have a pillow that goes flat or is too high... Basically when you start to align the spine and free nerves from pressure, good things start to happen. It's just like see patients as a doctor; your not going to claim to cure this or that but when you fix something in their back, other good things happen. The Back Dr’s specializes in pain relief for the neck and the lower back. We will help you have better posture, get better sleep and help you be more comfortable. Helping you find natural remedies for your active lifestyle.

Transition Areas of the Spine, What Are They? and What is there Significance?

Transition areas of the spine are when one part of the spine changes to another. When your cervical spine transitions to the dorsal spine and your dorsal spine changes to your lumbar spine. These are the areas that often run into problems.

You may think "so what is the big deal" that your cervical spine now becomes the thoracic spine and then that becomes the lumbar spine. What is the difference? Well if you are really talking about the name change, that is not a big deal. The reason for the significance is the change in the direction of the spinal curvatures.

In the neck we have a "C" Curve the C open to the backs. Then in the dorsal or midback area the curve opens to the other direction. Then back to the posterior in the lower back. Its because of this direction change that puts additional stress at these areas.

Now this comes into play with the muscles too. Muscles are attached to the spine and work hand in hand with it, so you can imagine with a change in the spinal curvatures who have muscle group interaction that changes. Out of the spine also comes nerves or nerve roots from the spinal cord. Through muscle fibers travel nerves to where they need to go. This is why we refer to the neuromusculoskeletal as such an important focus in chiropractic.

Sometimes your back pain may be directly at one of these transitional areas. Your pain may also be located elsewhere but may be a result of this transitional area.Visit your chiropractors office right away if you are experiencing pain in your back. The sooner you have the pain addressed usually means the quicker your chiropractor can help you get rid of it.

My Low Back Exercises Don’t Seem to Help my Pain …

Lower back exercises may or may not help in all cases. Most often we need a combination of things to get better. Exercises by themselves rarely do the trick.

Relieving nerve pressure is the real key. What we need to do this the quickest is chiropractic adjustments. Home therapies and medication may give us temporary relief.

The way that adjustments help the most is because they align the spine. This relieves nerve pressure and allows motion to be restored. This will then allow inflammation to dissipate.

So often I see patients who have been sent to physical therapy that get no help or sometimes get worse. You are essentially trying to exercise the problem away, which doesn’t usually work. We need to heal an area up before re-strengthening it.

This is especially true for acute patients where the injury was very recent. If your back pain is more chronic, meaning it’s been happening over a longer period of time, chances are the pain is not much from inflammation. Exercises at this stage will help. For acute pain cases you should start with therapies like electric stimulation and ice. Stretches and gentle chiropractic works well also. Exercise comes later on in care.

If you or someone you know has been suffering with back pain call our office to see if chiropractic may be the best solution for you.

there are no surgical procedures that could be performed...

"I have had low back pain with radiation down the left leg due to three herniated discs and a ruptured disc above the herniated discs. After having an MRI and a surgical consult, it was determined that there are no surgical procedures that could be performed. I was left with using medication with minimal results. My sister heard about spinal decompression and passed on information downloaded from the CT Spine and Disc Center from their website. After reading all about spinal decompression there was no doubt in my mind that this was the treatment I was looking for. After making an appointment and talking with Dr. Bellinger, I was even more convinced this treatment was for me. Everyone in the office is very personable and the treatments were painless. After 15 treatments, I am more pain free and no longer have to rely on medication for relief. I’m now able to walk longer distances and climb stairs again, I am just so happy, I’m smiling again and I would not hesitate to recommend this treatment to anyone! Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!”

At the end of this treatment, I no longer need assistance of a walker or a cane to get around..

"After abeing told surgery was my only option I was put in touch with another treatment called the DRX 9000. My pain was so bad, I could not do anything. After four treatments, I was able to stand up straight and walk again. I am now able to do almost everything I did before, and am enjoying the freedom I had before. At the end of this treatment, I no longer need assistance of a walker or a cane to get around. I am so thankful I had another option. Thanks to the Doctors and staff at CT Spine and Disc Center. I am doing very well.

...my pain level is now almost zero

I must admit that, that given the pain level (10+) that I was enduring when I first came to your office, I was highly skeptical of a positive outcome with the DRX9000. Following the regimen of treatments that you prescribed, my pain level is now almost zero. Before coming to you, I knew that the road to recovery was slow, but thank God for this machine and your professional care. Very seldom will I endorse a product. In this case, however, not only do I endorse it, but I offer to any person who may be looking for help, the opportunity to speak with me in order to give them my first hand opinion of this "Miracle Machine" and your miracle skills. Thank you for that you both have done and I look forward to continuing the maintenance sessions. "

This is your light at the end of the tunnel...

"Approximately two years ago, May 2005, I was diagnosed with polymyositis. At which time I was put on steroids. It helped the pain some but I did not like the side effects, so I tried Physical therapy which only made me feel worse. After three emergency trips to the hospital and with xrays and MRI's I was told I had 3 herniated disks pressing on my sciatic nerve. I was not ready to take on surgery if there was an alternative and thats where the procedure at the Spine and Disc Center with Dr. Bellinger and Dr. Gill made all the difference in the world. On my first visit on Febuary 28th 2007- I needed a walker, my husbands arm just to get in the building. After the first two treatments I felt immediate results. The treatments were gentle and painless. For close to two years, I have had difficulty in walking, sitting or standing. Thanks to the technology and exceptional care from Dr. Bellinger and Dr. Gill- I no longer need my walker and my pain level has gone from a ten to a zero!! And I don't cry as much either. I highly recommend this procedure. A friend of my daughters suggested that I try this as he had wonderful results also. I would also like to compliment the receptionist Jessica for her efficiency and kindness. I mentioned to her, the Doctors should hang another sign outside the door saying "This is your light at the end of the tunnel"
