Acupuncture For Slipped Disc Pain and Related Neuropathies

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you have a herniated disc, you know how painful daily activities can be and the distal neuropathies that accompany the localized pain.  For example, a herniated disc at S1/S2 can be most painful in the lower back but can also manifest as painful intercourse and numbness, tingling and pain radiating down the leg to the toes.  Cortisone shots only mask the pain temporarily and do nothing to resolve the root problem.  Acupuncture is highly effective for reparation and regeneration of nerves and related connective tissue both local and distal to the root of your pain.  Therapy is cumulative over time, but the end result is this:  you will be pain free, have a fine quality of life and enjoy most or all of the activities you like to participate in.  Call or email the office today and begin your road back to good health!

Montel Williams Living With Multiple Sclerosis

Montel Williams, the television presenter, has been living with Multiple Sclerosis for the past 10 years or so.  Montel has changed his lifestyle dramatically since his initial diagnosis.  He has adopted a daily vigorous exercise program combined with spiritual and dietary changes.  He gave up salt, sugar, wheat, redmeat and junk food, for example, and has embraced olive oil, fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains.  Montel's spirit and joie de vivre is a stellar example of how a person can be given a diagnosis of an incurable disease and turn it into a positive rehabilitative experience.  He's taken up snowboarding and martial arts and is an avid walker...not bad for someone who was told he'd be in a wheelchair or dead within a short period of time.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  Life presents its challenges, especially to those who suffer with M.S.  Acupuncture can greatly reduce some of the symptoms experienced by M.S. patients.  Neurological pain, heat, hot flashes and headaches can all be eliminated with acupuncture and herbal formulas.  I know, because I have helped many patients with M.S. who couldn't walk without pain.  They are now back to work, practicing yoga, swimming and enjoying a high quality of life.  Pass this information on to everyone you know...Acupuncture for Multiple Sclerosis can make a difference in someone's life!
