the primal life by Mary Karr

Karr is a great reader a film star nor a prime minister, but she has lived a dramatic life. Raised in east Texas by a father who gambled and an alcoholic mother who once tried to kill her with a butcher's knife, Karr struggled with alcoholism as an adult and briefly dated author David Foster Wallace. She published her first memoir, The Liar's Club, in 1995, and then followed up with two more, Cherry and Lit.

Sciatica Treatment

Sciatica Treatment

For severe or ongoing flare ups of sciatic nerve pain the condition may need to be treated so that it does not get worse over time.

For others, when the pain is severe or does not get better on its own, a more structured treatment approach, and possibly surgery, may offer the best approach to finding pain relief and preventing or minimizing future pain and/or dysfunction.

Non-Surgical Treatment for Sciatica Non-surgical sciatica treatments encompass a broad range of options, with the goal of relieving pain caused by compressed nerve roots.  One or some combination of the treatments below are usually recommended in conjunction with specific sciatica exercisis.

ICE and HEAT are very simple and underrated for treatment of acute sciatic pain, Use heat  Sparingly, HOT showers for 10 minutes and or hot tub soaks Followed by 20 or 30 minutes of ICE. Works wonders.   The best ones I can find are the “clay type Ice packs and are readily available on amazon. A word of caution the shipping may be more than the actual product. If you do not have a “prime account” Contact me and can help with that extra cost. http://tinyurl.com/good-ice-pack-amazon another option is a bit less expensive only because the casing is just a bit thinner both work but you may be replacing the blue one just a little bit sooner and you will need to be just a bit more careful with it. http://tinyurl.com/blue-ice-pack-with-thiner-case   if you have problems I have the black ones. (Same Price as anazon) the Ice will help temporarily alleviate the leg pain, especially in the initial phase.  Usually ice or heat is applied for approximately 20 minutes, and repeated every two hours.  I recommend using heat first in moderation and then ice. Remember Ice shrinks swollen tissues which is generally responsible for the pain. Ice also speeds up healing time.

Pain Medications

Over the counter prescription medications may also be helpful in relieving sciatica pain.  Non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, or COX-2 inhibitors), or oral steroids can reduce the inflammation that is usually a contributing factor in causing sciatica pain. Use this only for two weeks

Biopuncture Injections for Sciatica

If the pain is severe, an injection www.biopuncture.infoor can be performed to reduce inflammation.  An biopuncture injection is different from traditional steroidal medications because it injects healthy herbal remedies directly to the painful area around the sciatic nerve to help decrease the inflammation and increase healing time unlike steroids which simply mask the problem that may be causing the pain.

While the effects of a steroid injection tend to be temporary (providing pain relief for as little as one week up to a year), and it does not work for everyone, an epidural steroid injection can be effective in providing relief from an acute episode of sciatic pain.  Importantly, it can provide sufficient relief to allow a patient to progress with a chiropractic conditioning and exercise program.

high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) technique

The high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) technique is among the oldest and most frequently used chiropractic techniques. Most chiropractic clinical research has focused on the evaluating efficacy of this form of spinal manipulation.

A 2010 review of clinical data concluded that spinal manipulation is helpful for several conditions in addition to back pain, including migraine and cervicogenic (neck-related) headaches, neck pain, upper- and lower-extremity joint conditions, and whiplash-associated disorders. *1

There are many types of HVLA manipulation approaches. This article describes just the most HVLA spinal manipulation techniques:

Diversified technique: This technique is the form of high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust that is traditionally associated with chiropractic manual adjustments. For this method, chiropractors apply a short (low-amplitude), quick (high-velocity) thrust over restricted joints (one at a time) with the goal of restoring normal range of motion in the joint. The patient’s body is positioned in specific ways to optimize the adjustment of the spine.

Thompson Terminal Point (or Drop) technique: This technique is the one that I use the most in my office due to the least amount of pain and the most effective adjustment.

Doctor Clay Thompson patented the Thompson Drop Table in 1957, and today it is used by chiropractors around the world to help patients improve posture, gain strength and flexibility and prevent injuries.The Thompson Drop provides a full-spine technique through use of an adjusting table equipped with a pneumatically driven drop system. This system quickly lowers the section of your body that corresponds with the area of the spine that’s being adjusted. This includes the dorsal, lumber and pelvic areas.

Doctor David Thomson offers patients high-speed thrusts, while using minimal force. While the thrust begins needed movement, the quick drop brings your joint through the rest of its range of motion.

This involves specialized treatment tables that have sections that drop a short distance during an HVLA thrust, with the premise that the dropping of the table piece facilitates the movement of the joint. This adjustment approach is sometimes used in addition to or, in place of, a more traditional diversified HVLA adjustment. Here, the traditional "cracking sound" may or may not occur and therefore this type of manipulation may also be considered a form of mobilization, or a gentle adjustment approach.

The sound often heard during an HVLA manipulation is called cavitation. The pop is caused by a release of gas when the joint is pushed a short distance past its passive range of motion of the joint. The mechanism is similar to cracking ones knuckles.

Some clinicians and patients consider an audible pop necessary for the treatment to be successful, although there is no scientific physiological data from studies with large patient populations to confirm this belief. This poping sound is truly just a side effect not true. The objective is to first align the pelvis, then the mid back with the pelvis and then finally to align the neck or cervical spine with the rest of the body.

Thomson Chiropractic and Acupuncture Can Treat Whiplash Caused by Auto Accidents in Kaysville, UT

Auto accidents can be stressful, from dealing with insurance to taking your car to the mechanic to possibly missing work, and pain can often take a back seat to everything you have to deal with. However, seeking medical attention should always be a priority after an accident. When your body is jerked forward and then backward suddenly, whiplash can occur, and if left untreated, this injury can become chronic pain or lead to a worse injury down the line. At Thomson Chiropractic and Acupuncture, Dr. David Thomson has extensive experience and skill with treating whiplash and other injuries related to automobile accidents in Kaysville, UT.

Whiplash is a term applied to injuries that occur to the neck when it is whipped in one direction and jolted in another. Although this injury is common during auto accidents, it can also be incredibly damaging. Many whiplash injuries involve sprains—which happen when the ligaments that support, protect and restrict vertebral movement are torn—and strains—which occur when muscles and tendons in the neck are stretched beyond their normal limits. Even the discs between vertebrae in the cervical spine can be torn with whiplash, resulting in disc herniation.

The most common symptoms of whiplash include pain and stiffness in the neck and headaches at the base of the skull, and these symptoms can last for weeks or months, and even years if left untreated. Dr. Thomson can accelerate healing and ensure that your injury does not persist by providing quality chiropractic care. With adjustments, therapeutic exercise, soft tissue treatment and massage, the chiropractor can help control your pain and reduce muscle spasms.

If you’ve been in an automobile accident, schedule an appointment with Dr. David Thomson at Thomson Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Kaysville, UT to ensure that your accident doesn’t cause you pain long after it is over. Call 801-547-6688 for an appointment. For more information about the chiropractor, his practice or his services, visit www.thespineline.com.
