How to Get Rid Of Pain NATURALLY!  By Dr. Gonzalez

9/3/2013

0 Comments

 
Too many people think that once they get out of pain they can go back to their old habits that got them into trouble in the first place. I was having a conversation with a couple of patients this morning and teaching them part of The Seven Healthy Habits. Posture is so important and many adults and children have NEVER been taught correct postures.

For example, when you read, instead of dropping your head down you should hold up whatever you are reading. You can prop it up on your lap, on the desk, or use a book stand. I can’t tell you how many times I have been at a Sunday Service and see so many people dropping their heads to read and follow along in their Bibles. Improper head posture causes neck and upper back tension, headaches, shoulder pain, arm tingling and a few other symptoms. I just want to run up and grab the microphone and teach a class on proper head posture. I did send our pastor an e-mail about this subject. I also love going to schools to teach proper posture to students too. You can also practice looking down with your eyes instead of bending your head forward. It takes a little practice and pretty soon you will have formed a new good habit.

Doing house chores is another area where Proper Posture Rules are violated daily. When you are picking things up from the floor, ALWAYS BEND YOUR KNEES AND SQUAT, DON’T bend at the waist. When mopping and sweeping, keep your back straight and slightly bend your knees. I always remind my patients with low back problems, especially those with disc herniations, they need to AVOID sitting a lot. Sit no more than 20-30 minutes. Stand up walk around and stretch a little. When you finish doing chores most people go and sit on the sofa to rest. While your legs do rest by sitting down, gravity is still compressing your spine and discs. When you do sit, make sure you are sitting up. You can use a cushion or pillow behind your back for support. Make sure you place it in the low back area for proper support.

I see way too many people that don’t sit up straight. This is a one of the most neglected postures. This “slouching” causes your spine to literally “deform” and when you do try to straighten up it is uncomfortable, so you go back to “slouching”.

This bad habit cycle needs to be broken and form a good new habit. It takes some conscious effort. It also requires reshaping the spine through Chiropractic adjustments and some specific exercises. Hanging upside down (Inversion) is excellent for spinal problems. So remember, when you’re finished with your chores, it is best to lie down. Lie down on the sofa with a pillow between your knees and use an ice pack for 15-20 minutes if you have pain. Ice is much safer than taking pain pills.

I recommend to only resort taking pills if the pain is so severe that using an ice pack does not work. Some people will want to take the ice pack off because of the burning sensation they feel after a minute or two, but you need to wait a few more minutes and it will NUMB the pain. Using an ice pack will also reduce the inflammation. You may need to repeat using an ice pack every hour.

Remember ICE is NICE! It is natural and will not cause the side effects that pain pills cause, especially with prolonged use. You may also need to use the ice pack for several days. Be patient. Read my blog on How to Find the Right Chiropractor For You. A good Chiropractor will help you to a speedy recovery.

I hope this information has helped you. I will be posting some instructional videos soon. I know I’ve been talking about doing this for some time now, but it will happen. Be patient. In the meantime, practice your new postures. Teach your children well. Share this information with others and together we can live healthier, happier and longer lives!

Why Chiropractic is a Smart Choice- Part 1 By Dr. Gonzalez

9/2/2013

I’d like to share a story with you. I was at a surprise birthday party for  the wife of a very dear friend of mine last night. After dinner and about an hour of jokes, my friend asks me to talk to one of the guests. Mary (not her real name) has a gymnastics school and used to be a gymnast herself.

She went to see a specialist who ordered an MRI and found that she had bulging discs in her neck. The bulging discs in her neck cause neck pain, tingling and numbness in the last two fingers of her right arm.

She allowed one of her clients, who is an internist, “adjust” her neck.

An Internist is a doctor who specializes in internal medicine not the spine. He then tells her she should never go to a Chiropractor because it could rupture her bulging discs.

I asked her who she thought had more training in spinal manipulation, an internist or a chiropractor.  She agreed that a chiropractor did.

Why would she let someone who does not specialize in the spine mess with her neck?

After a brief testimonial from my friend who used to suffer with neck and back problems told her how after I started adjusting his spine he no longer suffers with neck or back problems.

He explained to her how I put him on this inversion machine as we were walking towards his workout room. An inversion machine allows you to  hang from the pelvis freely without having to hold on.

I then adjusted his spine while he was “hanging upside down”.

About that time, my friend’s cousin walks into the workout room. He is a medical doctor and had three bulging (herniated) discs in his neck and gave his testimony of how I “fixed” his neck with Chiropractic adjustments and Inversion Therapy (hanging upside down).

The look on her face was priceless. It was one of those Kodak moments.

My friend and his cousin both suggested she get on the inversion machine and let me adjust her spine. They told her she would feel a lot better.

Did she get on the inversion machine?

To be continued. I have a patient to hang upside down and adjust… but I will be back to finish the story!
