The Chiropractors Of New Century Spine Centers in San Diego Announce New Affordable Treatment For Back Pain, Sciatica, Numbness, and Whiplash.

Monday, April 18th, 2011
Spinal decompression therapy and chiropractic care are great options for the treatment of back and leg pain, but the price tag may be too hard for some to afford. Dr. Michael Pritsker is one of the chiropractors at New Century Spine Centers. The chiropractors at the San Diego office are now making it more affordable than ever for those suffering from disc pain and injury to get the treatment they need without breaking the bank. In this struggling economy, finding the right chiropractor at the right cost is very important.
Spinal disc bulges and disc herniations can cause conditions such as sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome, leg pain, numbness, neuralgia, neuropathy, back pain and more. Some of the most common treatment options for these conditions are chiropractic care, massage therapy and spinal decompression therapy with the DRX900 and similar machines. For some people with disc degeneration, these options have been described by some as a miracle and the treatment that eliminated all their pain and solved their problem. Unfortunately for some, the cost of treatment is more than they can bear and patients are left suffering in pain. With insurance companies covering less treatment options and insurance premiums going up every year, there must be more affordable options.
Dr. Carissa Hang, DC states “many times we have a patient who we know we can help, but sometimes affording the treatment for them can be the most difficult.” With the high technology for the newer back pain treatment equipment, of course comes higher price tags. And with insurance companies paying less and less, the end result is that the patient ends up having to cover the cost.
Dr. Michael Pritsker, DC and the other chiropractors at New Century Spine Centers are teaming up with other health professionals to find ways to help patients suffering from back and leg pain get the treatment they need. There are primarily three effective treatment options for sciatica and arthritis, but many patients may find it difficult to afford regular care. These three treatment options are chiropractic care, spinal decompression therapy, and massage therapy.
Chiropractic care in San Diego by licensed chiropractors is a great treatment option for those suffering from whiplash from a car accident, sciatica from disc injury, arm pain from thoracic outlet syndrome, and back pain from sprains and strains. The chiropractors at San Diego’s New Century Spine Centers try to assist many patients to help make their chiropractic care affordable by being in network on many insurance plans including Blue Shield, Blue Cross, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, American Specialty Health Plans and more. They also offer affordable financing and monthly payment options. New Century Spine Centers also offers an affordable initial exam to find out if you are a candidate for chiropractic care. The first visit can be as low as $17 with a coupon that can be printed off their website.
Spinal decompression therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment option for degenerative disc disease, sciatica, herniated discs, bulging discs, back pain, facet syndrome, whiplash, numbness and tingling. Compared to spinal disc surgery, spinal decompression can be an affordable treatment option costing thousands less than spinal fusion. At www.BackCareTreatment.com, those suffering from back and neck pain can get more information about chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy.
Massage therapy in San Diego is a great treatment option for muscle spasms, tension, stress, headaches, sprains and strains. Massage is an effective form of therapy, but regular massage therapy can end up being costly. With more and more Chinese reflexology massage centers popping up throughout San Diego, massage is becoming more affordable than ever. However, making sure that you get the right massage for your condition can become difficult. The chiropractors at New Century Spine Centers have searched throughout San Diego for the best and most affordable massage center and they recommend the upcoming Happy Head Foot Reflexology and Massage center in Hillcrest. Their price for a foot reflexology massage is only $29 and they will be working closely with chiropractors and other health professionals to offer the best and right massage. Their website for more massage information in San Diego is http://www.HappyHeadMassage.com. They are scheduled to open in June 2011.
New Century Spine Centers is located in the mission valley area of San Diego. The chiropractors have decades of experience and have collectively treated thousands of patients. They have set up a toll free 24 hour recorded line for those interested in getting a free report detailing some of the latest and advanced therapies to get rid of back, neck and leg pain. The number is 1-888-611-2042. To reach New Century Spine Centers directly, those interested in the treatment of back pain can call 619-630-9153. The chiropractors at New Century Spine Centers are paving the way to help make the treatment of back pain more affordable than ever.

San Diego Chiropractic Care Techniques Are Offering Hope For Headache Victims

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011
Dr. Mike Pritsker, a chiropractor at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego is offering new hope for people with terrible headaches and neck pain. Dr. Michael Pritsker uses a new Triton spinal decompression technology that is now available for the treatment of neck spasms, disc injuries, neck disc bulges, and headaches.
A large number Americans suffer from headaches. These can be tension headaches all the way to migraines and cluster headaches. Headaches can affect your physical state in such a way that it affects your activities of daily living and the way you function. Not only can headaches cause the actual pain in your head, but they can also cause other symptoms such as nausea, eye pain, fatigue, and sensitivity to light and sound. Many headaches are often treated with medication, which can only give short-term relief. Unfortunately, after the effect of the drug wears off, then you get to experience the same headache that you had before you took the medication. Sometimes you wonder whether there is a way to completely fix this problem totally, instead of just relying on these short-term drugs that only mask the symptoms.
So how does specialized chiropractic care and cervical spinal decompression help patients with headaches and migraines? Many times headaches can result from a misalignment of the spinal vertebrae in the neck and mid back. Sometimes the headaches can also be caused by damage in the neck to the disc structure. This misalignment can cause the muscles of the upper shoulder and neck to become tight. This combination of misaligned vertebrae and tight muscles can cause compression on nerves, which can then cause a headache.
Chiropractic treatment in San Diego for headaches involves realigning the vertebrae of the neck and upper back. Spinal decompression addresses the disc problem in the neck. By correcting the misalignment with proper chiropractic care, the neck and shoulder muscles can then relax and get rid of the pain. Correcting these issues can then relieve the pressure on the nerves, which can then relieve the headache. Chiropractic treatment can also involve treating the tight muscles with massage therapy or electronic muscle stimulation, which can further facilitate the relief of the headaches.
For those that suffer with long-term headaches or migraines, consistent chiropractic care can decrease the amount of episodes a person may suffer. Spinal decompression may fix the condition permanently. If there are nerves somewhere in the neck area that have been irritated or blocked for a long time, then they receive fewer and fewer stimuli as time goes on. Consistent chiropractic care by a professional specialized chiropractor can relieve the pressure on these nerves so that the migraine sufferer can get less and less attacks as time goes by. Eventually, the body will continue to maintain this corrected state, thus the problem is then fixed for the long-term.
Nothing is worse than having a terrible headache. Bad headaches are one of the most debilitating pains that someone can suffer. So if you are tired of just taking pills that only cause the symptoms to subside for a short time, then trying out new things like chiropractic and spinal decompression can be your best option. Finding a reliable chiropractor can be as quick as asking family or friends who they recommend. New Century Spine Centers is located in San Diego. They can be reached by calling 619-630-9153.headache pain

Exercise Possibly Worsening Back Problems.

Friday, March 25th, 2011
I regularly look for new technologies in back pain. I was just surfing around the internet and found something very interesting. I typed in “back pain cure” and got thousands of matches. Which I found interesting because if there actually were so many “cures”, there wouldn’t be anyone left with any pain!
But we all know most of these “cures” are coming from opportunity seekers just trying to separate you from your money. The first thing that’s a dead give-away is when someone offers a cure for ALL back pain. Just like there is no ONE magical diet that works for everyone…there is no ONE solution for ALL cases of back pain.
Back pain can be complex, have more than one cause and, therefore, need more than one solution or treatment. For example I came across one web site that claimed he had the ultimate cure for back pain. This guy had supposedly cured his own back pain with a “special” set of exercises. Exercises, he claimed, would cure everyone’s back pain. Exercises he would give you – for a hefty price! I did a little Google search and found this guy had also suffered with carpal tunnel syndrome and had found the cure which he sold. He also suffered with headaches that he cured and sold the cure. Then there was his shoulder pain cure…I think you get the point.
Just for kicks, I ordered this guy’s “special” exercises. What a joke. They were nothing more than a mix of 6th grade gym class exercises with a few wrestling stretches. Attempting to do some of these “special” exercises, if you have a herniated or bulging disc, could leave you crippled on the floor. And that’s the problem with most people pushing exercises as a cure for back pain. They think all back pain is caused by weak or inflexible muscles.
Which may be PART of the problem but if you have a herniated or bulging disc that is NOT where you should start. Take this as an example. If the front end of your car goes out of alignment – what happens to your tires? They wear unevenly, right? So what do you do? Do you drive your car a special way to try to fix the alignment? Do you work on the parts of your car supporting the alignment? Or do you get the alignment fixed?
The same is true with your back pain. When you have a herniated and/or bulging disc, your spine is injured and does not work properly. The more you use it, the more abnormal stress is put on your spine and discs, and the more damage you will cause. Exercise will NOT fix a herniated disc! But, if you are treated on the spinal decompression system and the herniation is healed PROPERLY and then and only then does it make sense to exercise to strengthen and stretch the area.

Benefits Of Using Chiropractic For Back Pain

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

When back pain strikes, it can bring your everyday activities to a screeching halt. But for a person who doesn’t like the idea of using traditional pain medications to treat back ailments, a chiropractor is a viable option.

Chiropractors are trained to treat conditions that are caused by misalignment of the spine, as well as other conditions that affect the central nervous system. Some of the most common conditions treated by a chiropractor include: fibromyalgia, poor postural alignment, strains and sprains, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, osteoarthritis and sciatica.

A chiropractor is required to do two to four years of undergraduate studies, and then spend a specified amount of time at a licensed chiropractic college. Before a chiropractor can treat patients legally, he must pass a national and state examination. To find out if your chiropractor is licensed to operate in your area, contact the local Board of Chiropractic Examiners.

Chiropractors use a number of drug-free methods to treat back pain. These methods often include massage, hydrotherapy, decompression, and spinal realignment. Massage relieves pain in the back by releasing endorphins and easing muscle spasms. There are several types of massage used to treat back pain. Talk to your chiropractor to see which one is best for you. If you have blood clots, cancer, or are pregnant, talk to a doctor before getting a massage. Hydrotherapy is commonly used by chiropractors to relieve pain in the back. This type of therapy can include sitting in a pool of warm water, or using ice packs on the affected area. Spinal decompression therapy is used to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease and herniated discs. Decompression therapy uses vacuum pressure to relieve pressure and restore fluids and nutrients to the discs. Ultrasound is commonly equated with pregnancy, but this machine can be used by chiropractors to treat back pain. This method uses ultrasound waves to warm the tissue, and reduce swelling in the back.

Spinal realignment requires a chiropractor to use a specialized technique to readjust the spine and improve alignment. Modern equipment makes it possible to adjust the spine painlessly and without any “back popping.” If natural treatment methods are not an enough to manage back pain and drugs are needed, a chiropractor can point you in the direction of a doctor who can help.

A quality chiropractor not only treats conditions of the spine, they offer education to help patients keep these problems from reoccurring in the future. Regular exercise, good posture, weight loss, and proper sleep habits are some of the recommendations chiropractors will make to patients to help keep back pain at bay. A chiropractor is trained to carry out his job duties effectively by offering a wide range of drug-free treatment options to manage conditions of the spine and central nervous system.

Taking Pain Medication Can Be Hazardous To Your Health

Saturday, March 12th, 2011
If you are like most in this society, when pain rears its ugly head, you immediately turn to some form of pain reliever. The kind of pain reliever that we take can depend on a variety of factors. These include the types of and causes of the pain, whether it is from acute injury or chronic disease processes, inflammation, swelling, fever, etc. If the pain is infrequent, you resort to over-the-counter pain reliever.
Over-the-counter pain reliever are those that are easily accessible and do not require a prescription from a doctor to obtain. They are available from pharmacies, grocery and convenience store. Because they are sold without a doctor’s prescription, we assume it’s safe to consume. This disregard for possible harmful side effects make each of us guilty of overusing pain reliever. So let us explore some of the improper ways of taking pain reliever that we usually consider harmless.
First, many of us take over-the-counter pain reliever like candy because they are readily available.  We take one pill and then another until we start feeling a little better, without paying attention to the proper dosage. Sometimes, we think that one pill is not enough and by taking two or three at a time, the effect will be stronger and the pain will go away faster.  When you are taking more than the maximum dosage recommended, we are now dealing with pain reliever addiction.
Second, frequent usage of certain medication over time will cause bad side effects such as lightheadedness,  trembling, extreme fatigue, rash, itching, hives, sore throat or fever, bleeding or bruising, anemia, yellowing of the skin or eyes, blood in urine, and painful or frequent urination . It is found that continued use of Ibuprofen can increase the risk of stroke and Acetaminophen such as Tylenol can cause serious liver and kidney damage.
Lastly, most of us do not know the chemical makeup of these pain reliever. It has become a habit for some people to combine or mix different kinds of pain reliever, either at the same time or switching back and forth between various types. Because of potential chemical interactions and toxicity levels that can build up in the bloodstream, mixing pain reliever, and any other medications, can be extremely dangerous. Some interaction could be fatal.

Chiropractor Reveals How Some Exercise Programs Increase Pain And The New Spinal Decompression Treatment Available For Back Pain.

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

New Year’s Exercise Resolution Programs To Lose Weight Can Leave People In Pain Due To Spinal Problems. Many Are Concerned To Start An Exercise Program Because Of Their Discouraging Back And Neck Pain.  Spinal decompression therapy and chiropractic care in San Diego may put an end to the back pain. Those forced to quit because of frustrating back pain are finding new relief.

The spinal doctors at the chiropractic office in San Diego have been successfully helping people get out of pain and back into the shape they’ve always dreamt about.  They’ve literally helped hundreds of people in San Diego and California solve their pain and get back on track. Some had suffered miserably for years.  Many back pain sufferers tried medical doctors, physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, pain pills, and yoga. Many times, nothing seems to work.  Many had given up hope altogether until the back pain specialists at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego introduced the spinal decompression technology.  At http://www.BackCareTreatment.com, people with back pain can watch the latest videos to fix their condition and undergo pain management.

There is a very good reason why many former neck and back pain victims due to disc injury are calling spinal decompression the cure they’ve been looking for.  This amazing medical breakthrough is responsible for cracking the neck and back pain code for hundreds of former pain sufferers in San Diego and around the world. Many previous patients with back pain and sciatica have tried all sorts of treatments. Many were told that there is nothing that can be done for them and they are just going to have to live with the pain.

There are primarily seven options for the treatment of neck and back pain. The first of the options is medication and pain management.  Whether medication is taken over the counter or prescribed, it all works in a similar fashion. Medication may temporarily ease pain and inflammation in the tissues surrounding the discs, but because discs don’t get an independent blood supply, medications will do nothing to heal the cause of the pain.

Other available options for back and neck pain are massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Massage is effective with muscle pain and dysfunction, and in some cases massage may ease the pain temporarily. However, massage simply can do nothing to change the cause of the problem when it is due to damaged and degenerated discs. Acupuncture has some success helping several different types of pain, but offers no solution to the cause of disc pain. Sticking a needle into the skin will do nothing for a bulging disc. Physical therapy uses exercises, which are simply contraction of muscles. Contracting muscles around a bulging or herniated disc can actually make the bulge or herniation worse by creating more pressure on the disc and pushing the weakened and injured disc material further out toward the nerves making the problem worse.

Chiropractic is a treatment option that is incredibly successful with a multitude of conditions, especially neck or low back pain. In fact, studies show chiropractic to be a very effective treatment for conditions of neck or low back pain. When dealing with disc injuries however, chiropractic is best utilized together with spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal surgery is also a common procedure for disc problems, spinal stenosis and disc injuries. The 3 most common types of surgery for disc injury are discectomy, laminectomy, and fusion. A discectomy is when a surgeon takes a knife and cuts away the part of the disc that is bulging or herniating out pinching the nerves. In some cases this offers some short term relief as the physical pressure is temporarily off the nerves. The problem with this is the part of the disc that is cut out is the outer rings and this weakens the disc causing more problems. The pain returns because the problems were not addressed properly. A laminectomy is when the surgeon takes a tool and grinds the bone back away from the nerve. This may take pressure off the nerve itself. The problem is that bone grows back! Spinal fusion is another option for spinal stenosis but the results can be very poor.

One of the best known treatment options for facet syndrome, disc problems, pinched nerves, sciatica and spinal stenosis is drx 9000 spinal decompression therapy. Clinical Studies show FDA cleared, non-surgical, drugless, and non-invasive spinal decompression therapy to be a successful treatment procedure for back pain. A free video about spinal decompression can be requested at www.SanDiegoBackPainTreatment.com. Spinal decompression therapy with chiropractic care targets the true cause of the pain.

Clinical studies have shown non-surgical spinal decompression to offer good or excellent relief in patients with herniated discs and degenerative disc disease. Studies have also showed reductions in disc herniations. Herniated discs were originally thought to be untreatable without surgery before the introduction of spinal decompression therapy and chiropractic care. With this new technology, many people are living pain free and enjoying life.

This advanced technology is available to eliminate back pain in San Diego once and for all. Spinal decompression therapy along with safe chiropractic care in San Diego relieves pain very quickly in many cases.  Conditions that are successfully treated with spinal decompression by spinal chiropractors are degenerative disc disease, pinched nerves, herniated discs, bulging discs, back pain, sciatica, facet syndrome, neck pain, and headaches.

To learn more about spinal decompression therapy combined with safe and effective chiropractic care, those interested can contact the back specialists at New Century Spine Centers in San Diego at 619-630-9153. Spinal decompression should be considered when suffering from back pain. With this new advanced technology, many former back pain sufferers are living pain free.

Back Doctors In San Diego Utilize Spinal Decompression Therapy To Get Rid Of Back Pain

Friday, November 26th, 2010

Spinal decompression therapy is a type of nonsurgical spinal therapy that is also noninvasive. It is used to treat severe and chronic back pain that is a result from different types of spinal conditions. Some of these back pains are caused because of pressure that is exerted by an expanded spinal disc to the spinal nerves.

Back pain can also be a result of several arthritic issues. It turns out that there are many different health conditions that could be benefited from this type of treatment. Many patients find quick relief from this type of therapy.

Spinal decompression chiropractors in San Diego use spinal decompression therapy to treat various types of conditions. Of all the different types of conditions that spinal decompression therapy could help, a herniated and bulging disc is the most common. When the spinal disc is herniated, it exerts a lot of pressure on the spinal nerves; this health condition results in a lot of excruciating pain. The decompression treatment will relieve the pressure from the expanded or damaged disk and allows it to go back to its normal size.

Degenerative disc disease is another common condition that requires back treatment. Spinal bodies can be compressed when there is a loss of disc height. This is caused by spinal compression. When there is too much compression, the surrounding nerves can be constricted which leads to back pain. Spinal decompression therapy can help to alleviate the pressure on the degenerative discs, helping to alleviate the back.

Spinal decompression therapy treatment in San Diego is available at New Century Spine Centers. The chiropractors there are specialists in the treatment of back and neck pain. Spinal decompression helps pain from disc herniations, disc bulges, sciatica, facet syndrome, and disc degeneration. New Century Spine Centers can be reached at 619-630-9153. More videos and information can be found on their website at www.BackCareTreatment.com.  Many people are living pain free due to this advanced technology.

Curing Headaches Naturally With Advanced Chiropractic Care

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

If you are suffering from migraine headaches then you have come to the right place. Many people suffer from migraine headaches everyday and don’t have a clue how to fix it.

Local San Diego chiropractors have helped thousands of headache patients.

These tips and tricks aren’t some magic cure to your migraine but it will help you get rid of the pain you are experiencing. Some people believe the headaches are all in the mind. Our body is feeling pain in the head because something isn’t right in there.

Similar to when people wear something on their head, like a pair of glasses for a very long time, they soon forget about it. The body is so used to it being there, that when they take it off, their body feels strange without it.

Headaches can be stress related and spine related. For stress related headaches, we should control our stress levels to minimise the onset of painful migraine headaches. Some doctors can’t provide much help to solving this common problem. That’s why you have to go to a chiropractor who specializes in headaches.

Doctors usually recommend that people get more rest and take headache tablets. This is just temporary relief because the root of the problem still exists. A bad diet can also cause headaches and so can low or high blood pressure. There are so many reasons to why a migraine headache can occur. The simple solution is to eat healthy and do plenty of exercise.

Curing migraine headaches naturally is possible with a few simple diet changes and getting plenty of exercise. More information about headaches can be found at http://www.BackCareTreatment.com and other health related web sites.

The 3 Unlikely Causes Of Low Back Pain

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

When back pain victims think of what causes back pain, they often believe that all of a sudden, they make a quick and sudden movement or pick up a heavy object and their back goes out. While this may happen in some circumstances, it is far more likely that repetitive conditions leading up to a sudden traumatic injury have much more to do with the pain than the proximate cause itself. While there are a large number of reasons for back pain, here are a few that are not often discussed.

First, people who have static postures for long periods of time will create compression forces on their spine and discs. This is especially true if workers are forced to perform tasks in a posture with a flexed trunk type bending over posture. There is a greater risk and higher incidence of developing back pain over time. These types of postures can greatly increase the forces on the lower back and the longer they need to be held, the more likely it is that chronic discomfort or injury will be the result.

Another cause of low back pain is simply sitting down while working for long periods of time. Long-term sitting postures at the workplace have a tendency to lead to chronic back discomfort. People who sit down hunched over a computer for 8-10 hours every day are asking their lower backs to perform functions for which it was not designed. Just getting up and extending the back with a stretch periodically throughout the day can help prevent long-term pain.

Finally, a very little-discussed cause of back pain and the third one here is vibration. This is especially true if it is occurring when in a seated position. Sitting in a car or on the bus or train for several hours a day while commuting to work can cause stress on the spine and connective tissues. These vibrational forces are unpredictable and challenge the body’s ability to stabilize the spine. Over time, sitting while vibration is going on can lead to chronic back pain, even though the cause and effect may never be linked.

Everyone should consider these causes of back pain. At New Century Spine Centers in San Diego, these causes of back pain are regularly treated by the chiropractors and spinal decompression doctors. Avoiding back pain is important. Knowing what causes back pain is the first step to preventing back pain.
