Sciatica Treatment in Vancouver

2011-04-08T14:24:00.000-07:00

Sciatica (or sciatic neuritis) is a set of symptoms including pain that may be caused by general compression and/or irritation of one of five nerve roots that give rise to the sciatic nerve, or by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve itself. The pain is felt in the lower back, buttock, and/or various parts of the leg and foot. In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be numbness, muscular weakness, pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. Typically, the symptoms are only felt on one side of the body.

Although sciatica is a relatively common form of low back pain and leg pain, the true meaning of the term is often misunderstood. Sciatica is a set of symptoms rather than a diagnosis for what is irritating the root of the nerve, causing the pain. This point is important, because treatment for sciatica or sciatic symptoms will often be different, depending upon the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Scoliosis Treatment in Vancouver

2011-04-08T14:22:00.001-07:00

Scoliosis (from Greek: skolíōsis meaning "crooked") is a medical condition in which a person's spine is curved from side to side, shaped like an "s", and may also be rotated. To adults it can be very painful. It is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine. On an x-ray, viewed from the rear, the spine of an individual with a typical scoliosis may look more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. It is typically classified as congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (sub-classified as infantile, juvenile, adolescent, or adult according to when onset occurred) or as neuromuscular, having developed as a secondary symptom of another condition, such as spina bifida, cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy or due to physical trauma.

Scoliosis is abnormal lateral and rotational curvature of the vertebral column. Depending on the etiology, there may be one curve, or primary and secondary compensatory curves; scoliosis may be “fixed” as a result of muscle and/or bone deformity or “mobile” as a result of unequal muscle contraction.

Scoliosis predisposes individuals to back pain, headache, and other posture-related disorders. In rare, severe cases, the curvature can lead to difficulty breathing or heart problems due to a lack of space from the deformed ribcage. A scoliosis is classified based on an angle measurement taken from a full spine x-ray.

SI joint Treatment in Vancouver

2011-04-07T14:49:00.001-07:00

The sacroiliac joint or SI joint is the joint between the sacrum, at the base of the spine and the ilium of the pelvis, which are joined by ligaments. It is a strong, weightbearing synovial joint with irregular elevations and depressions that produce interlocking of the two bones. The human body has two sacroiliac joints: a left and a right joint that often match individually but are highly variable from person to person.

Pain may be caused by sacroiliitis, or an inflammation of the sacroiliac joint(s) or SI joint, a potential cause of low back pain. With sacroiliitis, the individual may experience pain in the low back, buttocks and thighs, and may also have other symptoms of a rheumatic condition such as inflammation in the eyes or psoriasis. Another related condition of the sacroiliac joint is called sacroiliac joint dysfunction (also termed SI joint dysfunction). While SI joint dysfunction may cause low back and sometimes leg pain from inflammation of the sacroiliac joint, some believe that sacroiliac joint dysfunction (also called syndrome) differs from sacroiliitis. The origin of the dysfunction is thought to be a problem with the normal movement of the sacroiliac joints (too much or too little movement in the joint) while sacroilitis (literally inflammation of the sacroiliac joint or SI joint) is usually caused by one of the connective tissue diseases (e.g. ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis).

TMJ Treatment in Vancouver

2011-04-07T14:41:00.001-07:00

The temporomandibular joint is the joint of the jaw and is frequently referred to as TMJ. There are two TMJs, one on either side, working in unison. The name is derived from the two bones which form the joint: the upper temporal bone which is part of the cranium (skull), and the lower jaw bone called the mandible. The unique feature of the TMJs is the articular disc. The disc is composed of fibrocartilagenous tissue (like the firm and flexible elastic cartilage of the ear) which is positioned between the two bones that form the joint. The TMJs are one of the only synovial joints in the human body with an articular disc, another being the sternoclavicular joint. The disc divides each joint into two. The lower joint compartment formed by the mandible and the articular disc is involved in rotational movement (opening and closing movements). The upper joint compartment formed by the articular disk and the temporal bone is involved in translational movements (sliding the lower jaw forward or side to side). The part of the mandible which mates to the under-surface of the disc is the condyle and the part of the temporal bone which mates to the upper surface of the disk is the glenoid (or mandibular) fossa.

Pain or dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint is commonly referred to as "TMJ", when in fact, TMJ is really the name of the joint, and Temporomandibular joint disorder (or dysfunction) is abbreviated TMD. This term is used to refer to a group of problems involving the TMJs and the muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and other tissues associated with them. Some practitioners might include the neck, the back and even the whole body in describing problems with the TMJs.

Vancouver Registered Acupuncture (R.Ac) by Parisa Ehsan

2011-04-07T14:23:00.001-07:00

Biography - Parisa Ehsan

Parisa Ehsan has always been interested in the field of medicine and wanted to find a way to help others. When she moved to Vancouver she was exposed to Chinese medicine, which focuses on treating the body in a holistic manner rather than treating the symptoms as is the case with western medicine. She enrolled and successfully completed the Dr.TCM program at PCU college of Holistic Medicine and is a registered licensed acupuncturist. Parisa has recognized Chinese medicine being one of the most powerful healing tools humanity has ever discovered. Even though Qi “life energy "has not been scientifically proven, It has been the basis of Chinese medicine and it has achieved results for over 5000 years through clinical practices and research. she believes that in time, science will mature enough to realize Qi as an existing life force.

Have your questions about Acupucture in Vancouver answered by contacting 604-733-7744.

If Qi in our body does not flow according to the flow of the “universe” (its origin); it will stagnate and hence effect the physical body leading to diseases.

Whiplash Treatment in Vancouver

2011-04-05T18:30:00.000-07:00

Whiplash is an injury to the neck (the cervical vertebrae) resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration (as in an automobile accident.

Whiplash and whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) represent a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck.

Whiplash is commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear; however, the injury can be sustained in many other ways, including falls from bicycles or horses. It stands out as one of the main injuries covered by the car insurers. In UK, 430,000 people made a claim for whiplash in 2007 (75% of the UK's motor insurance claims), accounting for 14% of every driver's premium.

The symptoms of the whiplash reported by sufferers include: pain and aching to the neck and back, referred pain to the shoulders, sensory disturbance (such as pins and needles) to the arms & legs and headaches. Symptoms can appear directly after the injury, but often are not felt until days afterwards. Whiplash is usually confined to the spinal cord, and the most common areas of the spinal cord affected by whiplash are the neck, and the mid-back (middle of the spine).

Iliotibial Band Syndrome (IT Band) in VancouverIliotibial Band Syndrome (IT Band) in Vancouver

2011-04-05T18:23:00.000-07:00

ITBS is one of the leading causes of lateral knee pain in runners. The iliotibial band is a superficial thickening of tissue on the outside of the thigh, extending from the outside of the pelvis, over the hip and knee, and inserting just below the knee. The band is crucial to stabilizing the knee during running, moving from behind the femur to the front while walking. The continual rubbing of the band over the lateral femoral epicondyle, combined with the repeated flexion and extension of the knee during running may cause the area to become inflamed.

ITBS symptoms range from a stinging sensation just above the knee joint (on the outside of the knee or along the entire length of the iliotibial band) to swelling or thickening of the tissue at the point where the band moves over the femur. The pain may not occur immediately during activity, but may intensify over time, especially as the foot strikes the ground. Pain might persist after activity. Pain may also be present below the knee, where the ITB actually attaches to the tibia.

ITBS can also occur where the IT band connects to the hip, though this is less likely as a sports injury. It commonly occurs during pregnancy, as the connective tissues loosen and the woman gains weight -- each process adding more pressure. ITBS at the hip also commonly affects the elderly. ITBS at the hip is studied less; few treatments are generally known.

Neck Pain Treatment in Vancouver

2011-01-26T17:15:00.000-08:00

Neck Pain Treatment in Vancouver

Neck pain (or cervicalgia) is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain, although felt in the neck, can be caused by numerous other spinal issues. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, or pinching of the nerves eminating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.

The head is supported by the lower neck and upper back, and it is these areas that commonly cause neck pain. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of your neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for your head to sit on. If this support system is affected adversly, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain. Neck pain may also arise from many other physical and emotional health issues.

Neck Pain is one of the most commonly treated symptoms in our office. Vancouver Chiropractic & Massage Therapy services are uniquely effective at treating Neck Pain. Please let us be of service to you.

Bunion Treatment in Vancouver

Bunion Treatment in Vancouver

A bunion is an enlargement of the bone & joint of the big toe (1st metatarsophalangeal joint) often caused by chronic irritation of the skin, joint capsule and bone. Genetic factors play a part in the development of a bunion as do the footwear chosen and the activities most often performed. High heeled and narrow shoes send to place a greater stress on the joint of the big toe and can be a precipitating factor.

Bunions can be treated & Bunions can be prevented!

Bunions can be successfully treated with the support of custom orthotic inserts. How you ask? It's an issue of biomechanics!

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Vancouver

2010-08-02T13:33:00.001-07:00

Plantar Fasciitis Treatment in Vancouver

Plantar Fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition caused by excessive strain to the "plantar fascia" (bottom fibrous tissue) of the foot. The plantar fascia is a thick fibrous band of connective tissue originating on the bottom surface of the calcaneus (heel bone) and extending along the sole of the foot towards the five toes.

Dr. Michael Horowitz offers a 5-Step process to successfully treating this condition. He can help evaluate & diagnose your condition and recommend the best course of action for you. Call Vancouver Orthotics at 604-737-3668 for mor information.

The cause of plantar fasciitis can be from a specific trauma to the foot or from chronic repetitive strain often associated with the flat overly pronated foot. Pain is usually felt on the underside of the heel, inside more often than outside of the arch, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing.

Plantar fasciitis can be successfully treatment with the support of custom orthotic inserts.

Excessive weight or weight gain, jobs that require a lot of standing or walking on hard surfaces, shoes with little or no arch support, and inactivity are also associated with the condition. In advanced cases plantar fasciitis can lead to heel spurring on the calcaneus, in which case it is the underlying condition, and not the spur itself, which produces the pain. Achilles tendinitis can sometimes be associated with plantar fasciitis.

Introducing Jenna Kelly - Medical Intuitive Evaluation

2009-03-15T12:02:00.000-07:00

Medical Intuitive Evaluation

Your energy field is the “blueprint” for your body. All of your physiological processes are affected by the state of your energy field. Meridians and Chakras, which have a balanced flow, produce health in the surrounding tissues and organs. Distortions or blocks in ones field, conversely set up the conditions which can progress to dysfunction and disease. A medical intuitive can read the patterns in your energy field and provide you with answers as to why you are facing certain health challenges. During an evaluation, you will learn what areas of your body have become the most imbalanced and, more importantly, what you can do to change these unhealthy patterns.

This type of screening is unique in that it can and often does reveal health issues that may be missed by standard medical diagnostic testing. In this way, a person can actually prevent and/or reverse health problems before there has been significant damage in the tissues. A medical intuitive evaluation will provide you with specific suggestions as to what supplements, therapies or treatments will correct any underlying imbalances.

A Medical Intuitive Evaluation with Jenna will:

Provide specific information regarding the health of your tissues, organs and body systems
Specifically identify the underlying mental and emotional issues affecting the physical body
Identify systems and areas of the body that have become disordered, long before any physical disease has manifested. Suggest supplements, remedies or other healing modalities that will be the most beneficial in restoring optimal health
