Lower Back Pain Relief by The Keysborough Clinic

Although most of us are aware that the common cold is due to a viral infection, back pain is often a mystery to most of its sufferers. To understand back pain New Jersey sufferers must understand the anatomy of the spine. The spinal bones or vertebrae of the lower back consist of posterior joints called facets that link vertebrae to one another and serve to guide the motion of the spine. The inter vertebral discs connect the bodies of the vertebrae.  In a canal located between the body and the facets of the vertebrae is the spinal cord. The spinal nerves exit the spine between the vertebrae.

They are composed of a form of tough cartilage that encases a soft material in the center called the nucleus. The primary function of the disc is to be a shock absorber and spacer between the vertebrae. Ligaments and muscles also connect the vertebrae. The bottom wedge-shaped bone at the bottom of the spine is the sacrum, which is joined to the two pelvic bones at the sacroiliac joint.

The majority of back pain patients have experienced no trauma, accidents or major injuries prior to the onset of their problems. The cause of most back pain is the cumulative effect of improper sitting posture, poor work habits, incorrect lifting, lack of proper exercise and other lifestyle-related factors. All of these factors cause stress and imbalances on the spine and eventually pain. This is why people often injure their back by just bending over to pick up a piece of paper. Chances are the spine was already compromised and just the simple act of bending was enough to set off the problem.

When this occurs, the surrounding back muscles go into spasm to protect the stressed or injured tissues of the back.  Whether you’re looking for lower back pain relief, sciatica pain treatment or therapy for a pinched nerve in lower back,MHF Chiropractic  is the area’s most renowned chiropractor for lower back pain.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

WHAT IS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a painful nerve problem that interferes with the use of your hand. It occurs when tissue or bone puts pressure on the nerve that runs from your neck through your shoulders, wrist to your fingers. At first, you may have numbness, tingling, or burning in your hand. Shooting pain in your wrist or forearm may follow and your grip may become weak.

WHAT IS THE CARPAL TUNNEL?

The Carpal Tunnel is a narrow, rigid opening formed by bones and ligaments (tissue that connects bones). The Median Nerve passes through the carpal tunnel, carrying messages between the hand and the spinal cord.

WHAT CAUSES CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

●     Wear & Tear - repetitive hand movements, such as working on an assembly line, at a computer, or with power tools, can cause the tendons to become inflamed and press the nerve against the carpal tunnel.

●     A Misaligned Joint - an injury to the wrist or arthritis in the wrist joint can cause a bone to protrude into the carpal tunnel. The tunnel becomes narrower, putting pressure on the median nerve. An injury to the neck can also cause the median nerve to swell and press against the tunnel.

●     Fluid Retention - can cause the tissue in the carpal tunnel to swell and presses on the median nerve.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PREVENT WRIST PROBLEMS?

To keep pressure off the nerve in your wrist, keep your wrist in a neutral (straight) position. Avoid twisting, bending, pinching, or pressing motions. Rest your hand often. Avoid making repetitive movements or holding objects in one position for long periods.

Stretch all associated muscle to prevent spasm of the muscle.

What Causes Middle Back Pain?

The middle back is defined as the region anywhere between your neck and the bottom of your rib cage. Because the area is so large, chiropractic treatment for back pain is more varied than you might think.

●     Overused or stressed muscles and ligaments
