I Never Had To Stretch...

My wife recently pulled her Right Hamstring muscle. How did it happen? After playing basketball with our son she said to me “I think I pulled my hamstring muscle”.

I said, “you probably should have stretched a bit”. “Plus, all you drank today was coffee”.

So that’s two big things right there: drink more things that hydrate you and your muscles. Water is my choice and will prevent muscle injury by keeping the muscles hydrated. Coffee does exactly the opposite - it dehydrates you!

Now, not stretching doesn’t help either. So try to warm those muscles up and stretch to keep the muscles loose and limber.

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.

Lumbar Degeneration… What can I do??

Have you been told you have arthritis in your back, lumbar degeneration? … And then told, “There’s nothing you can do.”
Well, there actually is something you can do. What typically happens with lumbar degeneration? The lumbar discs flatten and bulge. Much like a flat tire, the discs flatten allowing there to be more nerve pressure.

One newer treatment that has shown to help is spinal decompression. The drx9000 creates a stretch with much much more force than traction, however, you hardly feel a thing. The drx decompression actually keeps the muscles relaxed when creating a stretch. This is vital to create a suction effect in the disc space. Essentially, there is a pull in the up and down direction and a suction effect from the sides, pulling the disc back in where it has bulged out.

So, if you have low back pain or sciatica because of arthritis in the low back, try drx9000 spinal decompression.

The Glastonbury Chiropractor is located in central Connecticut- CT Spine and Disc Center specializes in patients who suffer from sciatica, disc degeneration, bulging disc or herniated disc in the lumbar spine.

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"
