The Spine Care

Like many people, you may be confused as to which type of doctor to see for your back pain. Every person is different, and so the answer depends on your specific situation and personal preferences. Many types of specialists treat back pain, and each has different training, skills, and interests. In the case of many health conditions, one type of medical specialist will typically coordinate your care. However, in the case of back pain there is no one type of specialist who generally coordinates care. This is especially true for any type of chronic or ongoing back problem, and you may find that you need to see more than one type of specialist to diagnose and treat your condition. When a back problem first occurs, it’s typically a good idea to first consult with a primary care physician, osteopathic physician, or chiropractor. That doctor will conduct an initial exam, and, depending on the situation, he or she may refer you to a spine specialist. If you are referred by a p...

There has been a growing trend among people to significantly reduce their weight. Visiting fitness centers, browsing the internet to find out weight reduction tips, calorie counting, and following diet boos are among the most prevalent practices that people, today, are following for weight reduction.

It passes quickly through our system without having our blood sugar to rise. In terms of categorization, fiber is either soluble or insoluble. Soluble fiber ...

The human body’s way of communicating is through pain. It is normal for the body to feel pain – it’s the only way you will know what’s wrong. Tolerance to pain is different for each individual – some people can tolerate higher level of pain than others. There are usually two different pain descriptors – chronic and acute pain – both of which everyone has experienced at one point or another in their lives.   The word acute is described in the dictionary as “sharp or severe” and usually refers to the new onset of pain. Acute pain scales typically from mild to severe and it’s probably safe to say it’s the more common type of pain people experience. Sometimes pain can become constant or chronic – and when this happens, it’s something you should explore further with your doctor. Acute pain is any normal pain your body uses to indicate an injury of some kind. If you fall and break your leg or burn yourself on something hot, your body uses acute pain to notify you of the inj...

We are now moving to a culture where work does not mean back breaking labor. This has had a bad impact on each and every one of our health. The one part of the body which has received the maximum brunt because of such a culture is the Spine. Because of our incorrect postures, most which go unnoticed due to our focus on the daily activity, the condition of our body gets worsened every day. It is so essential that without a spinal cord one would not be able to move any part of the body and none of the organs in the body would ever function. Some basic exercises could keep our spine in correct shape if one is facing the first stages of back pain. However, for scenarios where the back problem is beyond normal conditions the various kinds of spine care treatments plays an important role. There are various reasons why one could have a spine condition, it could be because of mechanical problems, injuries, acquired conditions and diseases or even infections and tumors. We are a l...
