Pain management is one of the most common applications for PEMFs. Current conventional medical approaches to pain management often leave much to be desired and involve heavy medications, procedures, surgeries, and physical therapy. Rarely will conventional doctors refer patients to alte ative modalities like acupuncture, massage, or chiropractic therapy, let alone PEMFs. Specialists tend to have tunnel vision. You go to a specialist for a problem and that specialist has a si

I was struck by a recent article in Integrative Medicine regarding the incredible environmental risks we are creating with the huge volume of pharmaceuticals being used to manage pain. Consider that, according to the Institute of Medicine, there are probably close to 110 millio Americans with chronic pain. The cost to our country of this form of pain management is between $400 and $600 billion per year. This use of pain medications for chronic pain does not even take into acc

To begin, let's say that an essential understanding of the psoas muscles means a basic understanding of their function. Basic, in this sense, means easy to understand, and function, in this sense, means more than what they do; it means what they enable you to do. So, this piece presents a simple, easy understanding of what your psoas muscles enable you to do and how tight psoas muscles interfere with your overall movement.

If you have ever suffered from a pinched nerve you know how painful it can be. Chances are you experienced numbness or decreased sensation in the area supplied by the nerve or a tingling, “pins and needles” feeling. Some of my patients tell me they feel a sharp or burning pain which is aggravated by coughing or sneezing. Sometimes they may feel twitching in the affected area or like their foot or hand has “fallen asleep.” I have to tell you that I sympathize with how

For many, body pain is a very real problem. Yet all pain is information. When there is a problem with your body, your body communicates this to your brain via nerve impulses. These impulses are "pain signals" that send the injury information to the brain to make you uncomfortable in an effort to force you to do something about it. The fact is, many people feel overwhelmed by their body pain and feel unable to do something about it. In fact, pain is made much worse (or made chronic) by the way we think about it ...

What happens in nearly everybody that leads to chronic pain and stiffness as they age? It's not what you think. People experience the chronic pains, stiffness and loss of freedom of movement attributed to aging as early as their thirties.

Popular opinion and medical science don't say why it is to be expected, except perhaps to blame (without an illuminating explanation) our genes.

Sports injuries are injuries that occur to athletes in major or non major sporting events. They can happen to professionals and amateurs alike in many cases, these types of injuries are due to overuse of a part of the body when participating in a certain activity.

People of all ages and walks of life suffer from hip pain. While there are treatment methods to help you live with the pain, it maybe be better to inform you about what can cause this pain so you can be aware and try to avoid it all together.

Lower back exercises when done properly can significantly reduce low back pain by activating muscles of the low back and “core.” 80% of people will experience some form of low back pain in their lifetime. Therefore, people should be doing some kind of exercise for the lower back to prevent injuries. The most common form of lower back pain is “mechanical low back pain,” which happens when a patient uses the wrong muscles to load the joints of the lower back. When a pat

Do your feet tingle or burn? Does your foot pain keep you up at night? If you have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, you understand how aggravating these symptoms can be. Before initiating treatment, learn what the research has to say about acupuncture as a treatment option for relieving pain related to peripheral neuropathy. Causes of Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a common issue that specifically affects diabetics, people undergoing chemotherapy, and those with HIV.

Fitness walking is the most accessible exercise for people of all ages. However, as people age, general physical problems tend to crop up - pain, stiffness, joint degeneration and loss of balance. This article undertakes to address those issues and to suggest how people might deal with (correct, not "get used to") them and get the most from a fitness walking program. What interferes with people's staying with any exercise regimen (assuming they're motivated)?

More and more patients come to me convinced they know the nature of their medical condition. It’s not surprising because people nowadays “google” everything and sometimes find out more than they need to know. Just yesterday, I saw a patient who swore she had Carpal Tunnel Syndrome because she felt pain and tingling in one of her hands. She went on to say that she “googled” it and sure enough, she was sure it had to be her problem. In some ways a self-diagnosis is he

When you are working out in the field or in a construction site, the manual labor required would definitely take a toll on your body, especially if you have been doing it for a number of years. But what if all you do is sit around in front of your computer from nine to five? The nature of this type of work may not require any muscular power, but you still are at risk of acquiring certain types of diseases from being in the same position for too long a time. Both the business

Is it better to apply ice or heat to an injury? Well, you must first determine whether the body pain you are experiencing is caused by inflammation or constriction (spasm). Once this is determined, follow these 3 rules: 1. If an injury is acute (caused by new trauma), it is best to apply cold within the first 5 minutes to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain. Ice packs, ice cubes, a frozen bag of peas or cold gels can be applied. On for 20 minutes, off for 20 minutes, then continue as necessary. 2. When swelling is down and the pain cycle is broken, stop the cold and apply heat.

Many articles and experts speak about how to reduce pain and inflammation after it has occurred. In this article I would like to tell you how to prevent body pain that happens as a result of exercise. You see, many of the aches and body pains that people experience as a result of exercise can actually be prevented by following these 5 simple rules. Rule 1 - Warm Up the Body – Before engaging in any physical activity, the body must be warmed up. Basic things like jumping jacks, waist twists or light bouncing will do the trick.

With all the stressors of today’s hectic paced lifestyles and economic uncertainty, less than optimal nutrition, and deprived sleep patterns, it’s no wonder more and more of my patients complain of getting headaches. Did you know that about 90% of the population gets at least 1 headache a year? That’s a lot of headaches! In addition about 16-17% of people get a specific type of headache, a migraine, or vascular, headache at least once in their life. They usually affect

ACL tears are a common knee injury among athletes, from professional to weekend warriors. Over the past couple of decades if you sustained an ACL tear and wanted to get back to an active lifestyle, surgery was required. Recent research now challenges that presumption. How can you decide if surgery is right for you?

Here are the top three reasons why people are not getting enough exercise: (1) There is not enough time; (2) A lack of stick-to-it-ness; and (3) Exercise hurts and causes body pain. Actually, a little stiffness and soreness is both expected and healthy after exercise. When the muscles are placed under stress, the bones under a load, and the lungs into high gear, the body is strengthening itself. Inflammation comes as part of the healing response, protecting the area and sending signals to the brain that healing (repair) needs to be done.

We are often taught to ignore and bury our problems and upsets and to 'be strong.' This is a temporary solution for distress that has serious drawbacks. Learning to identify and release our feelings are much better ways of handling them. Varieties of self-treatment methods enable us to do this, with excellent results, including the release of anxieties about having problems in the first place.

A patient named Richard recently came to me for what he described as pain in his heel. His story is not unlike others I’ve heard and I believe it’s worth repeating in his own words: “I’m a construction worker and have to be on my feet most of the time. My feet never gave me any trouble until a few weeks ago when I had to carry lumber up and down stairs several times a day. After about a week on the job I noticed pain in my heel to the extent that I could barely walk.

Migraine is that painful, intense, throbbing and excruciating headache that no living person would want to experience. It is said that its origin or nature may be partly caused by the changes in the level of a chemical in our brain called serotonin, which have an effect on the blood vessels. When the serotonin levels strike high, the blood vessels constrict or shrink. And when the level of serotonin falls, the blood vessels dilate or swell. The swelling part can actually caus

Carol’s teenage daughter Julia is a dancer who suffered a serious injury that required extensive surgery. Julia was sent home after surgery with opioids for pain. Despite the opioids, Julia was screaming in pain. Carol repeatedly called her doctor’s office and each time was told to increase the dosage of the opioids. At first Carol followed the doctor’s advice but became increasingly conce ed because the medication wasn’t working, Julia continued to scream, and Carol was worried about overdose.

Unspoken words are rarely silent in their effects. They may influence us quite powerfully in many ways. Unexpressed emotions that festerr We may hesitate to say something that could lead to hurt or anger, often when we are experiencing these same feelings ourselves. If my boss is asking me to stay late when I have family obligations, my emphatic response of outrage might be better off toned down, lest I lose my job. If I am feeling such emotions, it is likely that others I interact with are too.

Acupuncture is an accepted medical option for treating a work related injury. In 2007, the California Department of Industrial Relations made revisions to current workers compensation laws and deemed acupuncture to be a covered medical modality for injured workers. What this means to injured workers is an increase in treatment options and less reliance on pain medications and muscle relaxants. Natural relief from work related injuries is now an option and all of California wo

Have you ever felt your anger boil over to the point that it spilled out in ways you wished it hadn’t? Has your blood pressure ever risen when someone offended you and you could not respond? Have you ever clenched your teeth, biting back your words till your jaws ached or you got a headache? This can easily happen when the bucket of anger we carry around with us gets full to overflowing.

People often erroneously think of treatment by a pain management specialist as consisting of only narcotic ”pain killers.” However, the practice of pain medicine or pain management is diagnosis driven just like other medical specialties. Just as one goes to a cardiologist for an evaluation of heart disease and receives treatment based on a unique diagnosis, a visit to a pain management specialist results in unique treatment because every patient with pain is also different. T

When you are in chronic pain or chronically ill, you can manage better if you are organized and goal oriented. I like to practice something I learned called Time Blocking. We typically practice this in project management without knowing that there is a name for it. We have to get things done daily and Time Blocking lets us focus on doing one task at a time and letting the rest go. As patients trying to cope with everything while the health problems are eating most of our energy. Sometimes I find that gradually things have just gotten out of control because of too many down days.

In order to remain as independent as possible and to minimize the disruption of daily life, consider changes to your daily routine and surroundings. For example, doing normal activities can be quite painful. Activities such as walking, taking the stairs, squatting, sitting for long periods, and getting in and out of vehicles become a challenge. Every patient and their family should assess their daily surroundings and prioritize the modifications needed. This can help the patient maintain their independence and function.

Every day, I find myself being asked the same questions about Fibro, again and again.

When I was a kid one of the games my brother and sister and I used to love to play on a Saturday was the Farm Game. It involved the Encyclopedia, and a pad and pen. We designed an imaginary farm for the three of us to live on and run, and we would draw it and plan it, and use the Encyclopedia to select our location and all our animals and plants. I'm sure the farms we created would have been impossible to run, with animals that wouldn't get along, and plant species that would

One of the main symptoms of internal bleeding with hemorrhoids is having mild bleeding during the bowel movement process as well as severe pain when going number 2.

Many of my patients are over the age of 50 and as a result may have more skin related conditions than people who are younger. One such condition that seems to be more common in older people is Shingles, a viral infection that causes a painful rash.

Age is not the only factor influencing the onset of shingles; those with weakened immune systems are also at

February is the month of Love but for a pain patient and their significant other intimacy may suffer on a regular basis. We know intimacy is an important aspect in keeping a healthy lifestyle. Often times, chronic pain patients forget that sexuality is an important part in a partnered relationship when their pain levels are high. In spite of chronic pain, you and your significant other can have an active sexual relationship that is quite satisfying. You just have to be creative with getting around the challenges of chronic pain. All people need emotional and physical intimacy.

The Problem If you take any of the following nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for pain relief you are putting your life at risk: aspirin, celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac (Cambia, Cataflam, Voltaren-XR, Zipsor, Zorvolex), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), indomethacin (Indocin), naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn), oxaprozin (Daypro), piroxicam (Feldene).

Yet there are clear, readily available steps we can each take to start to make our personal world much less a place of anxieties, fears and worries and much more a place of peacefulness and enjoyment. This would be a world where we each grew up having enough so that seeking and striving to accumulate ever more ‘stuff’ was not the goal of our existence.

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition that causes pain all over the body. This is accompanied by fatigue and sleep, memory and mood problems. Despite the fact that the fibromyalgia diagnosis has been accepted in conventional medicine for two decades, there is little agreement about what it is or what causes it.

There are fears around the planet about the financial crises now threatening every country in the world. The hasty governmental responses of throwing paper money at the problems that were created by irresponsible investments of banks is not going to solve these problems.

Life is the only game in which the object of the game is to learn the rules. -- Ashleigh Brilliant I find that life is a series of lessons.

The expectation that something bad will happen stems from the belief that something bad has happened, neither of which, on the most fundamental level, is true.n- Alan CohennnOur childhood experiences often shape the rest of our lives.

There is one place in which one's privacy, intimacy, integrity and inviolability are guaranteed: one's body, a unique temple and a familiar territory of sensa and personal history. The process of chronic disease invades, defiles and desecrates this shrine. It does so publicly, enhancing the sufferer’s sense of helplessness and utter humiliation. Hence the all-pervasive, long-lasting, and, frequently, irreversible effects and outcomes of long-term, intractable illness. In a w

Healing opens us to our spirituality. Spirituality is an awareness that has atrophied in our society. Western culture is something of an aberration when compared to the majority of other cultures, where the spiritual dimensions are experienced and conceptualized as normal parts of existence -- not paranormal, mystical, or to be rejected. Again we must clarify our terminology.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this article is to present to the reader a brief description of endorphins, how they're produced by the human body, and how brain entrainment can be utilised as a natural pain remedy by releasing endorphins through the use of binaural beats.

They are the released by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus during exercise (the 'runner's high'), and

Positive people are good news! We all have had a friend or two that are draining. People in our lives who leave us upset or confused every time we see them. When you have enough to go through you do not have to hang out with these naysayers.

Often times this negative person, is a patient themselves dealing with their own issues. Maybe they do not realize what stress they are putting on others around them.

This article explains how somatic exercises make back pain vanish and why they are probably the fastest, most lasting way to end most back pain.

This was a huge step

For the large number of people that've been in a car accident at some point in time, many have suffered from wounds and not even been conscious of it.

Remediesr A common sense, Cost vs. Benefit Analysis (CBA) of your situation while under stress will often point to obvious changes you can make in order to change and improve the situation.

Taking some time off for a break, to recharge your batteries and restore your healing perspective may be advisable.

Throughout the ages, no matter what medical problem a patient suffered from, whether caused by illness or injury, one common factor always prevailed and this was pain. The only difference was the degree and intensity of the pain experienced by the patient. Pain is the oldest medical problem and even before a medical profession existed, and the cause of the problem was not understood, the “patient” understood the pain he was experiencing. Within the medical profession, pai

Move a Muscle, Change a Thought. I first heard that in a self-help program many years ago. It's easy to stay stuck in a certain way of thinking, to stay down and confused and immobilized when we stay in the same place, looking at the same things. Get up, move, do something different, move a muscle, change a thought. There is now all kinds of scientific evidence to back up this idea, of the benefits of physical activity and exercise. I'm not just talking about working out or e

Back Pain is one of the most common health issues in the world. Yet most back pain is caused by what we do and do not do on a daily basis.

Health and healing are not what we have been led to believe they are. Modern Western medicine and science tell us that disease is a scourge and that the primary goal of treatment is to cure it. In order to achieve cures, we fight illnesses with drugs; remove diseased parts; replace worn out parts; and are engaged in wars on cancer, heart disease and other ailments. Prevention of illness is also an accepted approach, but one that in many instances is overlooked or ignored in Western medicine.

Anatomy of your nervous system relative to neuropathyr David B. Phillips, Ph.D. Your nervous system keeps you informed of changes in the environment. It also allows you to respond to these changes. For instance, suppose a car is approaching as you step off the curb. Sensory cells in your eyes respond, impulses are then carried along sensory nerves to the brain. The brain interprets the impulses and responds, sending impulses along motor nerves to the muscles in your legs and feet. This allows you to step back from the curb.

In our reductionistic Western world we are taught that reality is "objective."

If you’ve ever walked through a post-anesthesia recovery room in a teaching hospital and heard all the moans and groans, you know that is not an easy task.

Our bones are vital body parts. Without our skeleton, we’d probably just be organic mush pooling on the ground. The trouble is, as we age, our bones become weaker and more fragile, putting us at greater risk for fractures and breaks.

You may have heard calcium is good for bones, but there are a number of other way

Healing opens us to our spirituality. Spirituality is an awareness that has atrophied in our society.
