Revolutionary Back Pain Treatment Being Offered by Best Pain Doctors In Arizona

May 19, 2012     No comments


Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 26, 2012

Spinal decompression therapy is an FDA cleared, revolutionary, nonoperative neck and back pain treatment that has shown excellent results for decreasing pain. Arizona Pain Specialists offers the treatment at all of its locations throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. In addition, this Award Winning practice has the best pain doctors in Arizona, having won four Patients Choice Awards in a row.

According to the Institute of Medicine, over 110 million Americans suffer with chronic pain every year. As a comprehensive Arizona pain management clinic, Arizona Pain Specialists offers treatments that are comprehensive and customized to each individual patients’ needs offering chiropractors, MD’s, DO’s, acupuncture, and physical rehab specialists.

Spinal decompression therapy is a treatment based on computerized intermittent traction that can allow patients to become pain-free and avoid surgery with the following painful conditions:

Neck pain

Arm And Leg Pain

Sciatica

Degenerative Disc Disease

Facet Syndrome

Spinal Stenosis

Low Back Pain

Herniated or Bulging Discs

Failed Neck or Back Surgery

Spinal decompression treatment was FDA cleared back in the late 1990s. Subsequent studies of the technology have shown that it is extremely safe and very effective along with costing less than 5% of what spinal surgery does. The research has shown that over 75% of patients achieved good to excellent outcomes. The treatment works by providing an intermittent traction that is gentle and provides pressure relief for the spine. This works well for both that pain issues along with back pain problems.

?Back pain sufferers should really look into spinal decompression therapy. Along with other nonoperative methods of pain relief it can provide an excellent method of avoiding surgery and getting patients back to working, playing with their kids, and enjoying active social lives. Arizona Pain Specialists has seen many patients avoid surgery with this amazing treatment,? said David Greene, CEO of the Arizona Pain Network.

The spinal decompression machine provides a gradual application and release of traction which works by tricking the muscles around the spine not to spasm or guard. This allows increased blood flow into the spine along with a significant amount of nutrients and oxygen. This can permit the injured disc to heal or can even pull back in a bulging or herniated disc backward supposed to be anatomically. It also provides substantial pain relief for spinal arthritis conditions such as spinal stenosis or facet syndrome and even degenerative disc disease.

When looking for a pain management center to visit for treatment, individuals should make sure that the pain management doctors in Arizona at the center you are looking at are certified decompression doctors. Also, be certain to look and see whether the Arizona pain clinic you are looking at has comprehensive options along with spinal decompression treatment to maximize your chances of pain relief such as interventional pain management with Arizona pain doctors.

Arizona Pain Specialists offers spinal decompression at a very competitive price along with the additional treatments at the centers including chiropractic services, medication management, interventional pain management, acupuncture, and physical rehabilitation.

The treatment has saved thousands of people from spinal surgery, with a recent JAMA article showing lumbar disc surgery to be no more effective than noninvasive treatments. This includes treatment with a Phoenix chiropractor along with spinal decompression such as the treatment at Arizona Pain Specialists.

Grand Blanc Clinic to Offer New Treatment for Scoliosis; ARC3D Treatment is an Alternative to Back Braces and Spine Surgery

May 17, 2012     No comments


Grand Blanc, MI (PRWEB) November 17, 2010

Dr. Mark Morningstar of the Natural Wellness and Pain Relief Centers of Michigan at 10683 S. Saginaw St, Suite B in Grand Blanc announce a new treatment for scoliosis that is an alternative to wearing a rigid back brace for 23 hours a day or having spinal surgery. Dr. Morningstar is the only current provider in Michigan offering this new treatment. The treatment is outpatient in his clinic and patients can return to non-strenuous work, school, or household activities after a treatment session.

Scoliosis affects 4.5 percent of the population, more often in women than men. The condition occurs when the spine of the back forms a C or an S shaped curve. Scoliosis patients have a variety of symptoms including back pain, hip pain, leg pain, bad posture, trouble breathing (the scoliotic curvature of the spine can affect the inflation of the lungs while breathing), and digestive symptoms. Scoliosis is often first diagnosed during a routine exam between the ages of 7 and 19. Scoliosis can worsen during the teen years due to the accelerated growth. Most cases of scoliosis are idiopathic (cause is unknown).

With the new treatment, scoliosis patients first receive a comprehensive examination and medical history with x-rays to measure the spinal curvatures. Since each scoliosis patient is unique, each patient is placed in an individualized treatment plan. ?After a short intensive care period of 4 to 12 weeks patients typically come to the office only monthly or every other month for monitoring purposes until they are skeletally mature. Adult scoliosis patients will come in only two to four times per year after the intensive period,? comments Dr. Mark Morningstar.

The new scoliosis treatment is a combination of techniques that work together to improve muscle function and spinal curvature. ?ARC3D works by retraining one?s postural muscles to work together in a more coordinated fashion, allowing for better mobility and symmetry of the person?s torso and thus curvature. By improving someone?s outward posture, their spine improves as a byproduct,? remarks Dr. Morningstar.

The goal with the new scoliosis treatment is to rehabilitate the abnormal spinal curvature and improve the function of major organ systems affected by the scoliosis. ?ARC3D works not only to correct the structure of someone?s spine and posture, but also improve the other bodily dysfunctions common in people with scoliosis, such as reduced lung capacity, abnormal digestive function, poor balance/coordination. These problems are equally as important to treat as the spinal curvature itself,? said Dr. Morningstar.

Most insurance companies cover a majority of the new scoliosis treatment. The treatment can be used on children, teenagers, and adults. ?The treatment has been presented as a viable option for adolescent scoliosis patients as well as adult patients seeking pain relief who have been given no treatment options other than surgery,? adds Dr. Morningstar.

Dr. Morningstar is a co-founder of the North American Scoliosis Initiative, a professional chiropractic organization dedicated to the advancement of non-surgical spine and posture rehabilitation solutions for scoliosis. He is also the current president of the International Chiropractic Scoliosis Board. Dr. Morningstar has presented the ARC3D treatment to hundreds of doctors throughout the U.S. and Europe. He is a founding member of the Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT), a multi-disciplinary, international society dedicated to providing information for the conservative, non-surgical, exercise-based approaches to scoliosis treatment. Dr. Morningstar has practiced in Grand Blanc for 9 years.

Turning Point Centers Opens New Drug And Alcohol Rehab And Dual Diagnosis Treatment Facility In Sandy, Utah

May 17, 2012     No comments


Sandy, Utah (PRWEB) October 19, 2011

Turning Point Centers, a residential mental health, drug and alcohol rehab center in Utah, has opened its newest facility at 10658 S. Dimple Dell Road in Sandy. The 14,000-square-foot facility sits on five and a half acres and has 12 beds.

In addition to the Dimple Dell property, Turning Point Centers has a facility at 616 E. 11000 S. in Sandy (this facility accommodates four clients in private rooms) and an intensive outpatient clinic at 11175 S. State Street, Building 12A in Sandy. Clients from the 616 E. 11000 S. facility use the Dimple Dell property for their daily activities.

According to Turning Point Centers Co-Founder and CEO Tony Dail, ?My goal, since day one, has always been to give our clients hope, beginning with our initial conversation. It?s really all that simple. Whether they need help with meth rehab or heroin rehab, or alcohol addiction, all we want to do is help everyone that reaches out. Whether they ultimately come to Turning Point Centers or not, we will give them our undivided attention. That?s what they deserve.?

Turning Point opened its first facility in August 2007. Dail said, ?We are a non-12-step, true dual-diagnosis facility. Dual diagnosis is used when someone has both a mental disorder and an alcohol or drug problem. Usually, alcohol and drug problems occur with depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia or personality disorders. With dual diagnosis, we get our client to go for a period of time without using drugs or alcohol (also known as detoxification). The next step involves rehabilitation for the substance abuse problem and treatment for the mental disorder. This rehabilitation could include medicine, support groups and talk therapy.?

Dail said that Turning Point clients receive four one-on-one therapy sessions each week, three with their primary therapist and one with a doctor. ?That?s unheard of in our industry,? he said.

Turning Point treats patients from around the United States, and provides art, drumming, ropes course and recreational therapy (Turning Point?s property includes a barn and arena currently being developed for equine therapy next spring). There is also a gym and a racquetball/basketball court on site.

Senior Men?s Well-Being Has to Be Prevented from Prostate Removal Possible Complications by New Natural Thermobalancing Therapy States Fine Treatment

May 13, 2012     No comments


London, UK (PRWEB) May 03, 2012

New Thermobalancing therapy supports wellbeing of men as the main focus of this natural prostate treatment is revolved around the safest approach and avoiding complications from widely used prostate removal procedures, highlights Fine Treatment.????Most men above 60 and almost all men above 70 have some kind of an enlargement of the prostate. Despite the massive efforts of conventional and alternative treatments to help men to maintain well-being, an appropriate solution has not been established yet. The most common prostate treatment men face in their sixties and seventies are different prostate removal procedures.

Removing a portion of the prostate is less destructive option of surgical intervention and it can help decrease the size and reduce urinary problems. Several different surgical options exist for prostate operations, including laser surgery and laparoscopic prostate surgery. As with all surgical procedures, complications and risks exist, for instance, according to the American Urological Association Foundation, leaking urine may occur following any type of prostate surgery. Having short-term urinary incontinence is common, but the return of urinary control usually occurs less than a year following the surgery. Some men may also experience urinary retention. Scar tissue may partially block the urethra, which carries the urine out of the body. The retention may require a urinary catheter to fully drain the bladder.

That is why it is significant for men?s wellbeing to use an appropriate solution for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to avoid complications that may jeopardize the patient?s quality of life. Dr. Allen?s device provides this exceptional prostate therapy protecting men from invasive procedures. Contrary to other treatment the Thermobalancing Therapy works all the time while the device is applied. By improving the blood circulation inside the prostate tissue it helps to restore it naturally. Oxford innovation recorded testimonials that confirm the benefits of this therapy. Please see the video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5xidswhxJM.

?Wellbeing in older men is an important issue when the treatment of BPH is under consideration,? says Dr. Simon Allen. ?Dr. Allen?s therapeutic device treats prostate enlargement well and can protect men from prostate removal procedures and complications that may follow.?

Report Describes 300 Compounds in Development for Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease

May 13, 2012     No comments

(PRWEB) October 26, 2007

Piribo, the online destination for business intelligence for the biotech and pharmaceutical industry, has now added a new report which forecasts the market-share for various approaches in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease to 2016

“Alzheimer’s Disease: New Drugs, Markets and Companies” reports that considerable research is in progress to understand the pathomechanism of the disease and find a cure. The only drugs approved currently are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, beta amyloid deposits and neurofibrillary tangles. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors do not correct the basic pathology of the disease. Also, several new approaches emphasise neuroprotection.

The study shows that acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are mostly a symptomatic treatment; however, some claims are made about a neuroprotective effect. Currently the only approved neuroprotective therapy in is memantine. Management of these patients also require neuroleptics for aggressive behaviour and antidepressants. There is an emphasis on early detection at the stage of mild cognitive impairment and early institution of neuroprotective measures. The value of mental exercise in delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s disease is being recognized.

There are nearly 8 million sufferers from Alzheimer’s disease in the seven major markets of the world, and this is anticipated to increase in the future.

Research in Alzheimer’s disease still aims at elucidating the basic pathomechanisms. This can be made by animal models, which are important for research, particularly in testing some of the potential therapeutic approaches. There is considerable research in progress at the various centers, some of which is funded by the National Institute of Aging of the National Institutes of Health.

Over 300 different compounds are at various stages of development for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease which are classified and described. There are non-pharmacological approaches such as vagal nerve stimulation and cerebrospinal fluid shunting, which are in clinical trials.

“Alzheimer’s Disease: New Drugs, Markets and Companies” shows that there are several new therapies expected to be in the market, and the shares of various types of approaches are estimated for the future up to the year 2016. As a background to the markets, pharmacoeconomic aspects of care of Alzheimer disease patients and patterns of practice are reviewed in the seven major markets.

Your product helps him to identify his anxieties which basically are false perceptions. However, perceptions are realities to him. Before Turnaround, I could not help him to identify his anxieties. With his new recognition, he learned skills taught to handle anxiety. This is significant because his anxiety level was so high that often I could not even talk to him to comfort him.I have tried different products to help my high functioning autistic son but this is the only one that helped him significantly. Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!?

This program is a working tool for parents. I have already recommended this program to the autism specialist at our elementary school and many friends experiencing similar issues. Thank you for making this program. Without this program I would being seeing yet another specialist and making another ER trip and all of which cost more than this program.?

Jacksonville Periodontist Introduces New Laser Gum Disease Treatment For Moderate to Severe Periodontal Disease

May 11, 2012     No comments


Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

Dr. Walter Wood, a periodontist in Jacksonville, FL, has introduced the LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) Laser Therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe periodontal disease. With many recent studies finding a connection between gum disease and an increased risk for heart disease, pancreatic cancer, stroke, and low-birth-weight babies, seeking treatment of diagnosed periodontal disease has never been more important. However, many patients continue to avoid treatment because it is traditionally performed using scalpels and sutures.

Traditional periodontal surgery involves the cutting of the gums in order to access the affected teeth. The tooth root is then cleaned, the diseased gum tissue is trimmed away, and the gum line is often lowered. A lower gum line can often result in aesthetic issues as well as an increased sensitivity to hot or cold. Following surgery, some patients report moderate to severe pain and may require one or more days off of work in order to recover.

The LANAP Laser Therapy treats periodontal disease but without the use of scalpels or sutures as with traditional surgery. Instead, the LANAP Laser Therapy works by operating at a wavelength of light that can differentiate between diseased tissue and healthy tissue. The laser essentially eliminates the bacteria from the mouth that cause gum disease, removing the disease without harming the healthy tissue. The LANAP Laser Therapy does not use scalpels. Because the gums are not cut, there is very little, if any, gum recession. The LANAP Laser Therapy is the first and only FDA cleared laser treatment for periodontal disease and has allowed Dr. Wood to see fantastic, predictable long-term results.

Dr. Walter Wood, a leading periodontist in Jacksonville, believes strongly in providing his patients with the latest in state-of-the-art treatment options. He has received extensive training in dental implants, periodontal plastic surgery, and LANAP. His office is located at 711 Baymeadows Road East, Suite 7 in Jacksonville, Florida 32256. More information about LANAP can be found by calling 904-416-1436, or visiting http://www.jacksonville-periodontist.com.

Chiropractic?Breakthrough Treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

May 09, 2012     No comments

Sturgeon Bay, WI (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) afflicts an estimated three to four million children, and probably even more adults. It is most often thought of as a medical disorder requiring medical treatment, namely mind-altering drugs such as Ritalin or Adderall.

There is no standard definition or standard of treatment for ADHD. The psychologist sees a mental disorder, the medical doctor looks at a neurochemical imbalance, the neurologist perceives a brain dysfunction, and the teacher observes a discipline problem. Then they attempt to treat these symptoms from their perspective, while failing to see the whole picture. While each therapy has some limited success in certain cases, they are puzzled at their failures when extending their treatment to all cases.

It appears that there is a genetic connection to ADHD. If one parent has ADHD, 60% of the children will have it. If both parents have ADHD, this increases to 90% of their children. From the 1990 research findings of Dr. Kenneth Blum, the A1 allele of the DRD2 dopamine receptor gene on chromosome 11 appears to be the most frequent cause of ADHD.

The root cause in many cases of ADHD is often related to malfunctioning in what Dr. Blum has named the Brain Reward Cascade. Humans very survival is dependent on the drive for pleasure. Whether eating, loving, working, or playing, the sense of pleasure is derived from the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the nervous system. This results in the ?natural reward? of pleasure. When there is an insufficiency of dopamine production or transportation, it requires ever increasing stimulation to achieve a sense of satisfaction. This can be seen in the hyperactive response of those with ADHD.

It has been found that the primary reward centers are in the amygdala, the nucleus accumbens, and the hypothalamus of the brain, along with the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves, and the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Research by Dr. Candace Pert has found that almost half of these centers reside in the spinal cord and spinal nerves. Researchers at Harvard Medical School?s Department of Neuro-Biology have discovered that there are neurons in the spinal cord which project directly to the amygdala and the orbital cortex. These neurons transfer somatosensory information which ultimately affects one?s autonomic, endocrine, and behavioral functions.

When the limbic system (especially the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and the dorsal nerve roots) is free of interference, only then can it function normally. When out of balance, the Brain Reward Cascade does not function properly and the symptoms of Reward Deficiency Syndrome including ADHD appear.

That is why a fully functioning nervous system is vital. When the limbic system?s Brain Reward Cascade can function without interference, the feeling of well-being can be restored. The vertebral motor units are in intimate relationship with the Brain Reward Cascade by way of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and the dorsal roots of the spinal nerves. The nociceptive reflex from the vertebrae therefore has a profound affect on the limbic system. If there is a vertebral subluxation, it can result in a warped perception of one?s environment.

Since Chiropractors focus on correcting vertebral subluxations and their affects on the nervous system, proper Chiropractic care can be a vital part in improving the lives of those with ADHD. A copy of this paper can be accessed at http://www.all-about-wellness.com/t2/document/1adhd.

Monroe, CT Periodontist Targets Severe Gum Disease Using New Laser Gum Treatment for Patients Who Do Not Want Traditional Gum Surgery

May 09, 2012     No comments


Monroe, CT (PRWEB) May 07, 2012

Dr. Richard Amato, a periodontist specializing in implant dentistry in Monroe, CT, is now offering patients the LANAP Laser Dental Surgery for gum disease, which treats gum disease without scalpels or sutures. Countless studies and reports have been published recently highlighting the dangers of periodontal disease and the systemic effects they can have on the body. These dangers include an increased risk for heart disease, pancreatic cancer, and premature or low-birth-weight babies. However, despite the many dangers that gum disease may cause, many people are afraid to have their periodontal disease treated because the treatment is often painful and invasive.

Traditional periodontal treatments require the doctor to cut the gums in order to clean and treat the area. Many patients report moderate to severe pain following surgery and require days off of work in order to recover. And, because the gums are cut, traditional surgery may result in the gum line being reduced. Reducing the gum line can cause many aesthetic problems for the patient and may cause an increase in sensitivity to hot or cold.

The first FDA cleared laser treatment for gum disease, the LANAP Laser is a highly effective method for treating moderate to severe periodontal disease. LANAP does not require the use of a blade or sutures and is a minimally invasive procedure that causes very little recession of the gums and very little pain for the patient. The Laser works by operating at a wavelength that can tell the difference between diseased tissue and healthy tissue and essentially zaps away the periodontal disease! And, because the laser is so selective, Dr. Amato has seen fantastic, predictable long-term results.

As a leading periodontist in Connecticut, Dr. Richard Amato believes in providing his patients with state-of-the-art dental care and has been trained extensively to provide his patients with such procedures as dental implants, implant supported dentures, LANAP laser dentistry, and Piezosurgery.

Dr. Amato was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Stony Brook University where he was awarded with the School of Dental Medicine Department of Periodontics Award for Excellence in Periodontology. He earned his periodontics certification from Eastman Dental Center at the University of Rochester. He has been in practice in Monroe, CT for 22 years.

You can visit http://www.connecticutperiodontist.com or call (203) 712-0917 to learn more about LANAP or dental implants. Dr. Amato?s office is located at 324 Elm Street, Suite 103A in Monroe, CT 06468.
