Y Strap Decompression Adjustment

Y-Strap Decompression Adjustment: Y-Strap decompression is a manual spinal decompression technique that uses a special strap to release pressure along the spine by gradually stretching the spine. It also effectively adjusts the vertebral joints and restores alignment. The technique works to return a protruding disc to its natural position, lift pressure off the affected nerve, loosen up restricted joints, and reduce inflammation.

The chiropractors at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic use Y-Strap decompression adjusting when needed. This is a great technique that can be found in The Villages, FL by the chiropractors at Legacy Clinic.

What Is Sciatica?

What Is Sciatica?

Sciatica, also called sciatic nerve pain, is a condition that causes leg pain along with many other lower body symptoms. This pain is caused by compression of the sciatic nerve and radiates from the affected nerve root in the lower back, hips, buttocks, or legs.

What Causes Sciatic Nerve Pain?

Common causes of sciatica include pressure on the nerve from a dislocated spinal joint, degenerative disc disease, buttock muscle spasms, and narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis). Risk factors for the condition include pregnancy, obesity, living a sedentary lifestyle, osteoarthritis, or labor intensive work.

Common Symptoms

Symptoms depend on where the sciatic nerve is affected and the severity of the underlying condition. Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp, dull, burning, or debilitating lower back pain
  • Sharp shooting or electric shock-like leg pain
  • Pain that travels down one or both legs
  • Pain worsens when you stand, sit, twist, cough, or sneeze
  • Heaviness or weakness of the leg
  • Numbness or a pins-and-needles sensation down the leg

Sciatica Treatment from The Villages, FL Chiropractor

With an extensive exam consisting of biomechanics, neurological, and skeletal muscle evaluations. The chiropractor will determine what the cause of the sciatica pain is. If it is related to muscle trapping the nerve, the doctor will educate you on what to do for that muscle and what kind of rehab will be given to provide the fastest recovery. If the nerve is pinched because of disc bulge, the doctor will offer non surgical treatment options to help pull that pressure off the nerve.If you think you are suffering from sciatica in The Villages, contact us today at 352-259-0024 for a complimentary consultation.

Acupuncture For Anxiety

There are many stories in the mind that we create out of fear, but that in fact do not serve to make us safer or happier. To recognize these one by one and use the above method to weed them out is to take huge steps toward peace and happiness within. Acupuncture can help this process become easier and smoother. By bringing the functional systems of your body into balance your thinking becomes clearer, and it is easier to be more aware of the different stories you have come to live with. It also helps to increase focus and allow for breathing and meditation exercises to become easier. Overall, acupuncture is a wonderful technique for easing anxiety and bringing about greater ease in life.

More than 40 million U.S. adults have symptoms of anxiety, which refers to excessive worrying that’s hard to control and often impacts daily life. It’s often treated with psychotherapy, medications, or a combination of both.

acupuncture for anxiety

What are the benefits?

There have been several studies done about the effects of acupuncture on anxiety. These studies have focused mostly on generalized anxiety disorder and suggest that acupuncture is helpful in treating general anxiety.

One promising study from 2015, for example, found that acupuncture improved symptoms in people with anxiety that didn’t respond to other treatments, including psychotherapy and medication. Participants received ten 30-minute sessions of acupuncture over the course of 12 weeks. They experienced a significant reduction in their anxiety, even 10 weeks after treatment.

What to expect

When you go in for your first appointment, your acupuncturist will start by asking you which symptoms you’re looking to treat. They’ll also ask about any medications you take, your medical history, and any other health concerns you have. This is a good time to ask any lingering questions you have about the process.

During your actual session, they’ll insert long, thin needles into different pressure points on your body. Depending on the pressure points used, this could take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes. Your acupuncturist might also twist the needles or apply an electrical pulse to them. They’ll leave the needles in for up to 20 minutes before carefully removing them.

Chiropractic and Pickle Ball

The game was first invented in 1965 by three dads in the United States with bored kids. It slowly made its way to Canada and is now the country’s fastest-growing sport.

It’s a game played by young, old, and everyone in between. In fact, the slogan of Pickleball Canada is, “A Game for All.”

If you live in The Villages then you or you now someone who plays pickle ball. In order to hit the ball over the net you need to use the rotator cuff of the shoulder to provide the racket motion. If you want to get a little more power in your swing, then you will need to use your pelvis to help rotate you when you swing the racket. The pelvis plays a very important roll in racket sports and in golf. The pelvis is made up of two sacroiliac joints that are constantly moving when twisting, bending, or walking. The more mobility these joints have, the better swing of a pickle ball racket you will have. 

Chiropractors at Legacy Clinic of chiropractic in The Villages do a series of orthopedic and biomechanical assessments to see how your SI joint is moving. If the doctors determine that the SI joint is fixated, a chiropractor adjustment is given. After a specific SI joint adjustment, a patient will feel more mobility in the pelvis which will help with racket sports and rotating activities. 

To have your SI joint evaluated and to improve your pickle ball game, contact Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic in the Villages.

Glutathione and Covid

Glutathione might be called the antiviralwarrior in the COVID battle, playing a role, one article reported, in “antioxidant defense, nutrient metabolism, and regulation of cellular events.”  Of key importance, it’s essential to healthy lungs and respiration. One research article suggests its deficiency may increase COVID severity and drive up deaths. Glutathione has been studied as a way to block cytokine storm syndrome and respiratory distress in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The latest research suggests that glutathione deficiency is the most likely cause of serious manifestations and death in patients with Covid-19. Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants produced in the body, as it protects virtually every tissue.

Glutathione and Covid

Glutathione is a substance made from the amino acids glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is produced naturally by the liver and involved in many processes in the body, including tissue building and repair, making chemicals and proteins needed in the body, and for the immune system

Sufficient glutathione levels are of paramount importance for virtually every illness, and even aging.

Injections Vs Medications

Homeopathic injections vs traditional medications

Most traditional pain medications on the market work by turning off pain receptors. They mask symptoms by turning off the inflammatory response and receptors for a brief period. While this may make you fell better for a couple of hours, it has done nothing to fix the cause of the pain. This means that once the medication wears off, you will still be in pain.

Homeopathic injections such as ozone injections are localized to the area affected and work to bring relief by fixing the root cause of the pain. Perhaps the best part is that they don’t carry harmful side effects like traditional painkillers which have to make their way through the entire body. These injections are also better and faster than cortisone shots and can be given in several sites several times a year as opposed to the 3 shots per year rule with cortisone.

injections vs medications

There are a number of reasons to choose injections vs medications. Legacy Clinic has been a leader in offering homeopathic injections to help their patients find the relief they’ve been asking for. They now also offer ozone injections which can help treat many different ailments. Ozone therapy safely eliminates the causes of pain and gives a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to become permanently pain free!

Prolozone The Villages

What is Prolozone®?

Prolozone is derived from the Latin word “proli” which means to regenerate or rebuild and the word ozone. Ozone is the most highly active form of oxygen in the universe. Prolozone uses the power of oxygen to cause damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons to regenerate. This usually causes a complete healing and a permanent end to pain.

How does it work?

The reason that some injuries completely heal and others don’t have to do with circulation. In order for a damaged area of the body to regenerate and heal, it must have the critical elements that only the blood can provide: vitamins, minerals, and oxygen.

Of these, by far the most important is oxygen. Low levels of oxygen cause an accumulation of lactic acid, which is what causes pain. Prolozone works in three ways. First, homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the injured area to reduce inflammation and swelling. This leads to increased circulation. Next, the area is treated with vitamins and minerals that are critical for healing.

And finally, the area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone. The result is that the tissues get what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established, and the treatment is complete. The response to treatment varies from person to person, but most people only need from 3-5 treatments.

Is it safe?

Yes. Prolozone® includes naturally occurring substances and can be highly effective when used under the proper direction and care of a trained physician. Ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint it is able to stimulate the body’s natural joint repairing abilities. 

What conditions can be treated by Prolozone®?

Many conditions can be treated with prolotherapy and can also be treated with Prolozone®. It is excellent for all forms of musculoskeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain.
