The Spine Care

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. However, the results have not always turned out to be positive for everyone. It is because we only exercise rigorously and fail to maintain a proper healthy diet.

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.

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...

You start putting on your favorite jeans, such in your breath, and button in up. As you slowly exhale, your tummy starts to push against the fabric, and the zipper line becomes visible and strained. As always, you ignore the ever-increasing bulge that is threatening to burst out of your pants now, blaming it on the last binging session you went through.   This is not your fault. As we grow older, our metabolism starts to slow down. What used to be effective before is effective no more. So, please stop the self-hate and make these changes to your lifestyle, and you may even have to shop for skinny jeans two sizes smaller! 1.      Eat Healthy We are not advocating a strict diet where you feel that you are surviving on grass and water.

To help you reclaim your sleep schedule, here is a simple guide to sleeping with lower back pain: 1.      Sleep on your side to relieve pain from a pulled back muscle One of the most common causes of lower back pain is a pulled back muscle, which occurs when a muscle in your lower back is strained or torn as a result of being over-stretched. Symptoms from a pulled back muscle typically resolve within a few days, but the intense pain can make it difficult to fall asleep at night. Worse yet, the longer you lie in the bed, the more deconditioned your body gets and the worse your symptoms may become. No single sleeping position works for every person with a pulled back muscle but a good place to start is to test sleeping on your side. When sleeping on your side, try the following: ·         Avoid a tight curled-up fetal position and instead sleep with your body slightly elongated. ·      ...
