Functional Rehabilitation in Naples, Fl

Many people come to Total Health of Naples with complaints of neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica, disc problems and the list goes on.  What many people often overlook is how did this ache, pain or dysfunction occur?  If somebody moves well and has proper mobility of their muscles and joints it is a fair assumption that they likely won’t have any musculoskeletal problems.  What we need to realize is that most people don’t fit into this demographic because of the daily stressors that we endure.  For example, sitting in front of computers, sitting in the car, sitting on the couch, sitting while texting…..did I mention sitting? Defaulting into lousy positions eventually builds neuroplasticity thus our bodies take on that bad shape and it results in horrible posture.  Fast forward and imagine someone who sits at a desk job day in and day out, from a clinical perspective we’d see the classic lower and upper crossed syndromes.  With having this dysfunctional default position it is safe to say that we won’t move optimally, causing a risk factor for injuries. 

Total Health of Naples goes beyond the pain syndromes by restoring movement patterns back to the patient so that these problems are not recurring.  We do this by implementing functional rehabilitation.  Functional rehab is any modality that will aid in restoring normal movement patterns.  Simply decreasing inflammation and pain can increase function or PNF stretching hamstrings for greater range of motion can be examples from different ends of the spectrum.  Modalities can be as complex as specific kinetic chain exercises or even as simples as basic physiotherapies (ice/heat).  Dr. Michael J. Paralovos has developed a unique approach to correcting human dysfunction.  By specifically designing treatment programs for his patients with the latest advancements in soft tissue therapy, neurology and biomechanics coupled with home care exercises and ergonomics patients generally get well faster and better than most other chiropractic or physical rehab centers.

If you are tired of the one size fits all paradigm for neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica and disc problems, it may be time to contact Total Health of Naples for a consultation.  Our doctor is the leader in functional rehab and our patients would agree.  For more information visit www.totalhealthnaples.com or call 239-260-1426.

Chiropractic Adjustment: Is a headache “normal?”

The nervous system controls and regulates the entire body and all of its functions. The connection between improved health and chiropractic care is obvious to those who receive regular chiropractic adjustments. Each time you receive a chiropractic adjustment, you are improving your potential for health and wellness.

 

Are you tired of living with headache pain day after day? Have you ever wondered why you have headaches? Do you know how many headaches you have each month? It could be four, eight, or even 20 headaches per month. Some people experience headache pain all day, every day. Are they caused by stress or tension?

 

Is there such a thing as a "normal" headache? The answer is no! It is not normal to have headaches! However, many people endure the same type of headaches month after month, not knowing there is help available.

 

Following an initial examination to rule out things like high blood pressure or eye strain, the doctor of chiropractic will carefully examine your spine. The cause of the majority of headaches is usually found to be an irritated nerve in the upper neck. A chiropractor can locate and correct that irritating nerve, thereby eliminating the cause of most headaches.

 

After a gentle chiropractic adjustment, most people will notice that the frequency and severity of their headaches diminish significantly, often after the first adjustment. It is possible to live month after month free from headaches and experience an enhanced quality of life.

More Than Half Suffering From Untreated Back, Neck Pain

A newly published study in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics suggests that one-half to two-thirds of the population suffer from recurring back or neck pain. Researchers conducted face-to-face interviews with over 1000 Croatian participants, roughly split along male and female lines. They found that nearly 67 percent of women and 63 percent of men reported experiencing back pain. Further, 58 percent of women and 54 percent of men reported recurring neck pain. After tallying the combined results the researchers concluded that approximately half to two-thirds of the research subjects experienced frequent untreated pain that impacted the quality of their lives. Research indicates that most back and neck aliments are far better addressed by non-invasive treatments like chiropractic care than by traditional surgical remedies. Also, research has shown chiropractic care to be less expensive, far less dangerous and more effective than surgery as a treatment for the majority of these issues.
