Therapy Ball Abs

In order to keep your back healthy and strong, you need to keep the “front” of your back tight. That means your abdominal muscles (abs) must be firm.

Try this alternative to regular sit-ups or crunches.

  • Lie flat on your back with your legs resting on a large Swiss/Therapy ball.
  • Reach your arms out and curl your shoulders up off the floor, hold for 1 second.
  • Lower your shoulders and repeat.
  • As in all ab routines, go until you cannot do another. Rest for 10 seconds then repeat. 2-3 sets like this should be sufficient.

You may substitute a chair or the side of a sofa for the ball.

To really work your abs, try different exercises and mix things up to work all aspects of the abdominal wall. Try a set of Therapy Ball Abs, followed by a set of Regular Crunches then a set of Oblique Crunches.

Back Pain due to Car Accidents

If you are having back pain as the result of an auto accident injury, in addition to the information on this blog, go check out my auto accident specific site at http://occaraccident.wordpress.com

While whiplash neck injuries are more common after a car crash, low back injuries also occur with great frequency.  Low back pain due to low back disc herniation or disc bulges are not uncommon. Many crash victims note their back pain comes on gradually and is delayed sometimes by weeks or even months, which is often due to discs being injured and slowly breaking down.

Back sprain is the most common type of lower back injury after a car crash and is characterized by pain at the junction between the lower back and tailbone that causes pain to be felt running across the lower back. This involves injury of the facet joint ligaments and cartilage and misalignment of the affected spinal bones.  With proper chiropractic treatment, most of these cases will resolve in time.

Pain that does not resolve, worsens or begins to run into the buttocks or down the leg is a sign that a disc was most likely injured and has slowly failed. Symptoms like these require an MRI for evaluation of the discs and nerves and recovery will be much slower.  Treatments such as DRX9000 spinal decompression may be successful at rehabilitating the injured discs and relieving the pain. Failure of that to cure the lower back pain, surgery may be the next option.

Lower back pain is a fairly common occurrence after a car accident. Proper evaluation and treatment are crucial to return the spine to normal and to avoid chronic pain.

Orange County, CA Spinal Decompression Specialist Provides Discounted Back Pain Relief for Disc Herniation, Bulging Discs, Sciatica, Stenosis and More…

Spinal Decompression for Back Pain Special Offer
Orange, CA

back_pain_womanFor many severe low back pain sufferers, DRX9000 Spinal Decompression Therapy is a Godsend. Without the risks of shots or surgery, and with results proven out over several years with thousands of satisfied patients, back pain sufferers who’s past treatments have failed have New Hope.

But as with any new technology, Hope is hampered by the reality of the marketplace. This hot new therapy procedure carries a steep price tag. Making matters more difficult, many services are not covered by health insurance. So, with costs ranging between $5,000 and $9,000 and little help from insurance, many back pain and sciatica sufferers are priced out of the market.

One Orange County, CA Spinal Decompression specialist has, however decided to change his business model to allow greater access to this very successful back pain and sciatica treatment.

As a leader in DRX9000 Spinal Decompression therapy in Orange, CA since 2005, Dr Barry Marks has a strong following of happy patients who have been saved from surgery and nagging chronic pain.

“The DRX9000 has changed the lives of hundreds of my patients,” reports Dr. Marks. “The problem is that during these tough economic times there are more people who cannot afford this treatment compared to those who can. The Orange County, CA economy is very grim. People are having a hard time making their financial commitments, so a high price tag service like decompression must take a back seat to essentials.”

Dr. Marks realizes many of the people who would benefit from this procedure need it to be able to get back to work or stay functioning at work so they can weather this economic down turn.

“I want to make sure that if there are people out there that need this, I want to lower the cost threshold enough so that they can take advantage of this powerful treatment.”

For a limited time and for a limited number of patients, Dr. Marks is offering his complete Enhanced DRX9000 Spinal Decompression program that regularly costs $5,297 for only $2,497. That’s more than half off. Offer limited to first 5 callers and expires on Oct 16, 2009 at 6 pm. For more details call (714) 938-0575 and ask about the “Fall DRX Special” or go to http://spinediscrehab.com/special.html

Benefits of Spinal Decompression in Orange County, CA 92868

Non-surgical spinal decompression using the DRX9000 is quickly becoming a leading treatment for many causes of severe lower back pain such as:

  • Disc herniation
  • Bulging discs
  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Sciatica
  • Arthritis
  • And more

More and more back pain sufferers are shunning invasive and often risky medical treatments such as surgery, fusion, and epidurals in favor of less invasive, painless procedures that have been shown to be effective. That’s precisely why treatment with the DRX9000 is popular among back pain sufferers.

Among the benefits of spinal decompression are:

  • Relief of lower back pain
  • Relief of sciatica
  • Rehydration of desiccated (dehydrated) discs
  • Restored function
  • Return to normal activities such as sports and recreation, sex and work
  • Prevention of surgery

The most important benefit to remember is that spinal decompression actually helps repair and heal the damaged disc. Other methods do not heal the disc. Drugs and shots merely mask the symptoms while your disc continues to deteriorate. Acupuncture, chiropractic and exercises have not been shown to improve severely damaged discs. Surgery is only indicated in the most severe cases and only after everything else has been attempted since it has the most risk and high failure rate.

No single procedure can help everyone. So obvioulsy there are limitations to spinal decompression, but for the lucky ones who are candidates, it can be a life saver. To learn if your severe back or leg pain can be helped by spinal decompression and for a Free Back Pain Severity Evaluation, go to http://spinediscrehab.com/spinal_decompression_orange_county_ca_92868.html

Back Pain from Disc Dehydration with No Disc Bulge or Herniation and No Sciatica?

May 20, 2009

Lower Back Pain Diagnosis and Back Pain Treatment Information
Dr Barry L Marks, DC | Orange County Back Pain Specialist

A common question I get is “How can I have pain, when there is no disc bulge or herniated disc and there is no pressure on my nerves on the MRI? My doctor says I have no bulge so he doesn’t know why I hurt…”

spine_anatomy_ivfIt’s an excellent question really and one that often stumps doctors. The answer lies in the anatomy of the spine and disc in particular. Up until about 20 years ago doctors thought the discs and supporting ligaments of the spine had no nerve supply. We now know however that the outer layers of the disc called the annulus and the broad ligament that runs up and down the back of each spinal bone (posterior longitudinal ligament) are both supplied by the sinuvertebral nerve. This nerve carries pain impulses from these structures.

When you think of nerves, you may think of a sinlge wire leading from the spine to it’s intended target like wiring in your house or car. It’s a nice and neat way to think. The reality is however, that nerves are more like ivy. A main nerve may lead to the target, but once there the nerve divides into many tiny fibers that spread out over the area. So it is in your disc and posterior longitiduinal ligament. back-pain-disc

So when your disc is in trouble and beghins to become dehydrated and deteriorates (degenerative disc disease) it has been found that your nerves begin multiplying and cover the area even more densly. This leads to a disc that is hypersensitive and when the nerves are irritated they bombard your brain with pain messages.  The nerves that are embedded in your discs tell the brain to sense pain directly over the spine. Therefore, if you have degenerative disc disease of your last disc, your L5 disc, you will perceive pain in the midline of your lower back just above your tailbone.

The reason you do not experience sciatica is because the nerves that cause sciatic pain (pain down your butt to your legs and feet)  are further away from the disc in the hole between the spinal bones known as the foramen. To irritate these nerves, there needs to be pressure into the foramen by either a space that is diminished by the two bones coming closer together as the disc deteriorates or from a bulge or herniation poking into the foramen and onto the nerves.

So, if you are sufferifng from pain that is in the midline of your spine and you have a positive MRI for dehydration (desiccation) or degenerative disc disease, but no bulge or herniation it is likely you are suffering from disc disease that is affecting the sinuvertebrtal nerve.
