Tips from a Baltimore Chiropractor when suffering with a Herniated Disc

2010-09-02T04:38:00.000-07:00

Suffering with a herniated disc is one of the most painful things you can have. It will affect every move you make, keep you up all night and even cause pain with the simplest things we do such as cough or sneeze. I know because I see patients daily with this type of spinal damage. But there is hope!!!

Here a few things you can do for yourself to help ease the pain.

1) Try icing the injured area. Ice is a great tool for the disc patient because it helps to decrease swelling. Once the disc herniates there is quite a bit of swelling deep in the tissues and ice is the safest way to bring it down. Use it for 15 to 20 minutes per hour and repeat every hour as needed.

2) Biofreeze!!!!!! Biofreeeze is an herbal topical pain reliever that does a great job of easing the aches and pains of a herniated disc. All of my patients receive free samples to try it and most end up buying tube because it works so well. The coast is only about $11.00. Next to ice this the best thing out there in my opinion and it works better than any medication.

3) Keep moving. The old remedy for this condition was bed rest. Bed rest is the worst thing you can do to help heal an injured spine. Now you are not ready for the Olympics but get up walk around try to keep your spine moving and as flexible as possible.

4) Avoid heavy lifting!!!! This is the one thing you MUST DO to avoid re injuring the disc and making it worse. Also this is not the time to join a gym,or clean the closets after 10 years of not doing so. Your body needs to time to rest and heal and once your back to your old self than take on these objectives.

In my practice I see disc patients all day long. I have great tool called decompression that is very successful in helping relieve the pain of a herniated disc. Check out my website at www.MyPainReliefCenter.com and look at the decompression page for more information. You can also call my office today for a Free Consultation to see if you qualify for this unique treatment 410 744 1233. We accept all insurance plans.

I hope this post helps.

5 Things You Should Know About Choosing Your Baltimore Chiropractor

2010-06-28T07:52:00.000-07:00

When you are sick and in pain you're looking for a chiropractor you can trust and deliver the best care possible. Here are 5 quick tips you should consider when choosing a chiropractor.

1) Can you receive an appointment the same day? If your suffering in pain or are sick and your now ready to get your health back you shouldn't have to wait two weeks or more for an appointment. At Johnson Chiropractic and Rehabilitation I pride myself on being able to get patients in the same day. Why suffer for a minute longer if it's avoidable.

2) Are there other services available besides just chiropractic? When you have any type of a health condition you want to have as many options as possible at your disposal to help return your body to true health. You want to make sure that who ever you see has all the tools necessary. In my office I love the fact that I offer not only the Best Chiropractic Care that you can find but also full service Physical Therapy, Massage, and I offer Natural Solutions to Weight Loss, Type 2 Diabetes, and many other health conditions as well.

3) What testing will be done to make sure my condition can be treated with chiropractic? Whenever you see any doctor it is very important that you receive the most accurate diagnosis possible. If you need x-rays are they on site or will you need to go elsewhere? If you need an MRI will the doctor give you the referral that you require? When it comes to patients that I treat the first thing that I do is take an accurate history of your condition. After that a thorough examination is performed and the imaging studies taken will be determined based on those facts. All x-rays are done on site and an MRI can typically be completed off site any where from the same day to 3 days based on availability. Don't guess about your health get proper testing. Testing early almost always leads to better results.

4) How quickly can you have your results? I'm always prepared to review my findings with my patients the following day. This is very important to be able to attack your health condition as quickly as possible. The most important commodity that any of has is time so let's not waste any.

5) Is it affordable? Today most health plans offer some type of chiropractic coverage. Make sure all costs and methods of payments are explained up front so you don't accrue a large unexpected bill. I accept all major health plans. You can even call my office for a free benefits check so you'll know ahead of time what is covered and what isn't. I don't like surprises nor should you.

I hope you found these tips helpful. If I can ever be of service to you please feel free to give me a call at 410 744 1233 or check out my website and shoot me an e-mail if you have any questions. www.MyPainReliefCenter.com

Your Baltimore Chiropractor Can Help You Get Quick Relief From Back Pain!!

2010-06-22T09:09:00.000-07:00

Back pain is one of the major causes for people to seek care from any health care provider. It causes millions of people each day to miss work and to be limited in everything else that they want to spend their valuable time doing. You do not need to be one of them. There are many things that can be done to get you back into the game of life as quickly as possible.

1) When you first injure your back the very first thing you should reach for is ice. Ice will help remove the inflammation and cool the injured tissues. Just as if you sprained your ankle you wouldn't put it in a tub of hot water you would want to ice it down, your back is no different.
2) If the pain is not to severe you can do simple stretches to free it up. One of the most over looked muscle groups in regards to back pain are the hamstrings "the muscles in the back of your thigh". If you lie on your back and pull your knees to your chest that will allow you to stretch the back muscles first. Then pull your leg back with it straight up in the air to stretch the hamstrings. You will be surprised how much this can help.
3) Finally Biofreeze works wonders to help relieve the pain and inflammation in the muscles. If you would like a free sample please call my office and my staff would be happy to send some to you. Call 410 744 1233 for the free samples.

I hope these three quick tips helped.

If your pain is more severe or these tips are not giving you the relief you were hoping for please call my office for a Free Consultation. We Accept Most Insurance Plans and get you back feeling great ASAP. 410 744 1233 or www.MyPainReliefCenter.com

Your Baltimore Chiropractor Can Help you get Quick Relief from Neck Pain

2010-06-15T14:54:00.000-07:00

Neck pain can be a debilitating condition that can stop you in your tracks from getting anything accomplished. In today's modern society we are constantly sitting in front of our desktops or looking down at our laptops trying to get more and more things done in the least amount of time possible. This leads to us acquiring bad habits and makes your neck feel like a broken cork screw that been over used on New Year's Eve.

So what can we do??

1) Make sure your workstation is set up so you're not twisting your neck every time your trying to complete a project or return a few e-mails.

2) I have a product called BioFreeze that my patients just love to help decrease the aches and pains in the muscles. Call my office if you would like a free sample. 410 744 1233

3) Neck stretches work well to help decrease the muscle stiffness and tightness. One simple stretch is to grab the bottom of your chair with your right hand and put your left hand on top of your head and pull it to the left very gently. That should give you a good stretch and you only need to hold it for about 5 seconds and repeat 10 to 30 times. Just repeat for the opposite side.

4) Call my office if none of the above work for a Free Consultation to help you get relief fast. We do accept most insurance plans.

I hoped that helped.

Yours in Better Health,

Dr J
