Its extremely Frustrating To Get The Right Help When Experiencing Chronic Pain.

http://bit.ly/dNHkVl   Anyone that suffers from chronic pain knows how frustrating it can be to find help that actually solves the problem.

Keep in mind that surgery is not necessarily the best option for most physical pain conditions. Also realize that physicians and surgeons are not the best resources when searching for alternative treatment to surgery. Most pain specialists got into their field because they felt that it is a good profession with solid income potential, and a job that may earn them respect among their peers. Most pain specialists did not choose their specialty area because they were suffering from chronic pain and after a twenty year search did they discover that this one technique was better than everything else. When seeking out your next pain specialist maybe this reasoning should be part of your interviewing process:

Have you ever suffered from chronic pain?

How long did you have the problem before it was resolved?

How many specialists did you go to before the problem was solved? What modalities did you try?

The Best Sleeping Position.

http://bit.ly/bKgmee  The best sleeping position for your neck, shoulders, and low back is to sleep on your back with your ankles and knees slightly elevated.

Most people sleep on their side. This strains the shoulder and neck, so people will wake up with upper body stiffness. Since the neck and the low back are on the same column, this will also affect the low back adversely.

http://bit.ly/f2agTv  When a Parkinson's patient gets dysphagia, many people assume that this is an untreatable death sentance.

Dysphagia (trouble swallowing food) can be cured with Active Isolated Stretching.

Dysphagia is the result of upper body muscular rigidity in the neck, shoulders, upper arms, chest, and jaw muscles.

Active Isolated Stretching can open all the muscles that are causing dysphagia. 

Scoliosis Treatment: There Is A Cure.

Scoliosis is treatable. Scoliosis can be cured.

Active Isolated Stretching treatment to the entire body is the first line of treatment. Get everything as even as possible.

Alzheimer's and Parkinson's have a lot in common.

http://bit.ly/9Q9w2J  Both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's patients can benefit highly from improving circulation to the neck region. Both disorders involve muscular rigidity which leads to blockage of blood flow in the carotid artery. This process disrupts cognitive function and it is treatable with the right therapy.

How To Make Stretching Work Better

http://bit.ly/bKPYjJ  To make stretching work, we must examine the automatic stretch reflex in our bodies. Any muscle stretch will contract against the pressure  if the hold is longer than two seconds. This means that when we hold a stretch for ten or thirty seconds, we are causing the target muscle to close down rather than open up.
