Anti-Aging Injections

Glutathione: One of the Best Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Secrets in the World

Your body naturally creates one of the most powerful antioxidants in the world: Glutathione. Like everything else in your body, it depletes with time, leaving us feeling sluggish and allowing for sickness and disease to enter. Our bodies begin to age faster, and we begin to look older.

Glutathione helps protect our organs against the chemicals and pollution we breathe in, the bad foods we eat, and the stress we put on our bodies each day, keeping us feeling youthful and refreshed! It’s also one of the best anti-aging injections in the world!

Often, Glutathione is called the “Master Anti-Oxidant” because of its masterful ability to stop, and even reverse, the damage caused by free radicals. It also prevents cellular damage from these free radicals, which are introduced in our bodies through air pollution, cigarettes, poor diet, industrial chemicals, etc.

These free radicals are the agents of aging, and too many of them can leave the door open for aggressive diseases such as cancer. Today, you can supplement your body with Glutathione Treatments at Legacy Clinic in The Villages.

If you suffer from low energy, joint discomfort, poor quality of sleep, decreased mental focus or stress, then Glutathione might be just what you need. Below is a list of just some of the incredible benefits.

Corrective Exercise Trainer in The Villages

Corrective exercise training improves the effectiveness of your chiropractic care and spinal correction plan. In addition to skeletal misalignment, you may be experiencing pain that is caused by muscles and connective tissues that are weak, tight, or out of their proper place. Muscle imbalances affect everyone. For some, imbalances in the body can lead to stiff necks, low back pain, and sore knees.  Others will see the loss of strength, muscle atrophy, and weaker sports performance.  Some will have a limited range of motion in their hips, shoulders, and back.  Left unresolved, all imbalances will eventually limit performance, increase the risk of injury, and cause pain.

Corrective Exercise helps re-educate your body to move efficiently.   Programs are designed to increase the flexibility of muscles that have become too tight and strengthen the muscles that have become weak.  An intelligent and progressive program combined with good coaching and exercise techniques can not only get you moving pain-free and efficiently, but it can get you amazingly strong and fit.

A typical corrective program will start by mobilizing the areas your body is “stuck” or tight.  Next, exercises will be implemented to isolate the muscles that have become lazy or weak.  This is the foundation of a Corrective Exercise program.  Once flexibility has been gained and the weaker muscles are working, you can begin Corrective Exercise Training by performing exercises to integrate the new, efficient movement pattern.

Increasing the range of motion in your joints and strengthening weaker muscles to become balanced in the body allows you to be able to lift heavier, work a greater percentage of your muscles, decrease your chances of injury, have better posture, and get stronger.  There shouldn’t be a disconnect between corrective exercise and performance enhancement.  A good training program should accomplish both.

In each case, targeted corrective exercises and stretches from our experienced corrective exercise training on staff will maximize your chiropractic care while helping your body achieve balance and health.

Posture Health

Good posture health is extremely important. Poor posture can lead to pain and could lead to degeneration of the spine over time. Rounded shoulders posture describes the appearance of shoulders that are further forward than normal. People who have rounded shoulders often also have forward head position and increased slouching of the upper back.

As you can imagine poor posture health causes enormous stress on the neck and shoulders. This can lead to: neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and numbness among other things.

Some common causes for rounded shoulders include: sitting for extended periods in front of a computer, reading or texting on the phone with your head down, driving for extended periods of time in a bad posture, sleeping with poor posture, excessive weight training, cycling in poor posture and carrying heavy backpacks.

At Legacy Clinic, we want to help. A great exercise to help train your body is the doorway exercise. No need to go out and buy any equipment so long as you have a doorway! We encourage our patients to complete this 3-5 times a week. This easy exercise will help loosen the abs and chest muscles.

How to do it:

Stand in the doorway and align your hands and elbows with the door frame.

Posture Health

Step through the doorway until you feel the stretch.

Hold this position for 15-20 seconds, then return to the starting position.

Repeat this stretch 3 times.

If you’re suffering from rounded shoulders or think your posture could use some correcting, contact Legacy Clinic today and let them show you the proper ways to realign your body.

Promising Treatment to Avoid Back Surgery

Local doctor offers promising treatment to avoid back and neck surgery

An estimated 30 million Americans suffer from back and neck pain on a daily basis. According to Dr. John Theeck of Legacy Clinic, one common culprit is an injury or wear and tear to the gel-filled cushions or discs in the spine. This can lead to painful bulging or herniated discs, and degenerative disc disease. Even worse, the bulging or herniated discs may begin to pinch the delicate spinal nerves, causing sciatica, stenosis, or radiculopathy. This can result in debilitating back or neck pain, as well as pain, numbness, or weakness traveling into the buttocks, legs, or arms. Many desperate patients turn to prescription pain pills, invasive spinal injections, and even back or neck surgery, trying to find relief. “In many cases, those traditional treatments fail because they do not address the cause of the problem, and instead focus on covering up the pain,” states Dr. Theeck. “This can leave patients frustrated and without hope, as they face the possibility of endless medications, injections, and surgeries.”

The painless solution

“With advancements in medical technology, there is now a way to treat the source of the pain! Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is a break-through, FDA cleared procedure that takes the pressure off bulging, herniated, or degenerative discs, allowing them to rehydrate and heal,” explains Dr. Theeck. “This often relieves pinching on the nerves and reduces pain. The best part is that spinal decompression helps to heal the injured areas, rather than just managing (or masking) the pain.” The treatment is non-invasive, pain-free, and drug-free. There are no needles or anesthesia and it can be completed in a few weeks on an outpatient basis. It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases. Thousands of patients are treated every day using this procedure.

How decompression works

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression uses a specialized table that gently pulls the two vertebrae on either side of the affected disc, producing a vacuum effect. This allows bulging material to be drawn from the nerve and back into the disc, allowing it to heal naturally over time. Advanced technology and computerized load sensors combine to create a gentle, pain-free treatment that avoids the muscle spasm or guarding reflex that is commonly triggered with traditional rudimentary traction or inversion devices. “Most patients find spinal decompression to be very relaxing and it’s not uncommon to fall asleep during the procedure states Dr. Theeck. “Although results can vary, many of our patients report a reduction in pain after the first few sessions. Typically, there is a significant improvement by the second or third week of treatment.”

Spinal decompression helps reduce pain caused by:

  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Degenerative discs
  • Sciatica
  • Pinched nerves
  • Arthritis of the spine
  • Spinal Stenosis
  • Neck and arm pain
  • Car accidents

The full program

The treatment at Legacy Clinic includes a combination of the latest modalities to help patients get on their feet and out of pain. Spinal decompression, core strengthening, laser therapy, and manual therapy are among the many modalities incorporated into each program. ‘With so many different therapies available, we are able to customize a treatment program for each patient depending on their pain level and the cause of the pain,” says Dr. Theeck. “Our goal is to treat the source of the pain, so you can get back to living life again!”

What doctors are saying

“There is a place for surgery, but it is definitely not at the front line. Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy should be a front line treatment for chronic back pain patients suffering from bulging, herniated, or degenerative disc disease and facet syndrome. As a surgeon, I only want to do surgery when I absolutely have to. Spinal Decompression Therapy gives my patients a more conservative treatment option that can eliminate the need for surgery altogether, and that’s a very good thing. It also gives me a treatment option for those patients who have had surgery and relapse or experience a return of pain following surgery. It allows me to offer patients a key, non-surgical weapon on the war on back pain.” –Dr. Bernard Zeliger, DO FACOS, FAOAO, FICS, Osteopathic Physician and Orthopedic Surgeon; Founding Dean and Provost of Touro University. College of Osteopathic Medicine; Vellejo, CA, Former President of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons.

What Patients are saying

“After suffering 2 bulging discs and 2 severely herniated discs and months of pain –such severe pain that I was thinking I could not go through the rest of my life like this, I went to a spine orthopedic doctor that offered nothing but shots and no real cure. I was not about to have a risky epidural or back surgery. 

I came across Legacy Clinic and heard great things about the non-invasive decompression therapy. After just a few treatments I was able to sleep through the night for the first time in over 4 months. And after going through the full treatment I feel better than ever.

I would highly recommend Legacy Clinic’s decompression therapy to anyone having back pain. It saved my life.”

Vertigo in The Villages

Vertigo in the Villages

Have you ever had vertigo while in The Villages? A patient came in last week with symptoms and warning signs that kept getting worse. It started with a headache which led to vertigo symptoms. This led to numbness down the right arm and loss of vision. 

She began to panic and thought she was having a stroke. The doctor suspected a brain tumor or a stroke. MRI was negative for any findings. The neurologist began treating the symptoms with medication, but the patient became worse. The patient thought she was going to just have to deal with these problems since nobody knew what was going on.

She came into Legacy Clinic desperate for answers. Upon examination, the doctors found the top cervical vertebra that protects the brainstem and controls all automatic reflexes to be misaligned. This vertebra was carefully aligned to allow the nerve pressure to be released. Over the next 12 hours the patient’s vertigo symptoms, vision problems, and neurological began to diminish.

When there is pressure on one of your spinal nerves your body will give off symptoms based on the location.

Medical Massage Vs Spa Massage

Have you heard of medical massage? Have you wondered what the difference is between the two types? Maybe you thought they were the same thing, so we wanted to help clarify.

Medical massage differs from a normal spa massage in that it works towards a specific outcome. During a spa massage, most patients enjoy a Swedish massage that focus on relaxation. Medical massage may incorporate techniques like trigger point therapy or myofascial release in order to aid muscle health recovery.

Knowing what your desired outcome is will help you decide what type of massage you want. Legacy Clinic is here to help with either. We have two highly skilled massage therapists with excellent reputations to help you achieve better health through massage. Whether you require deep tissue, trigger point therapy or simply a more centralized massage, we are here for you. CLICK HERE to learn more about all we have to offer.

Latoya Smith LMT

Latoya is known as the “deep tissue therapist” in The Villages

Many clinics also offer 60 minute massages but you probably know by now that you’re more likely to only get 45 minutes at best. Why settle for only 75% of what you paid for? You wouldn’t accept that in any other situation. Imagine buying a car that didn’t come with an engine. Let our therapists work with you and experience what that extra time can mean. Wouldn’t you like to be 25% more relaxed?

Acupuncture For Improved Health

Acupuncture For Improved Health

Acupuncture for improved health does so much for us that most don’t even realize. Most people have come to know acupuncture for releasing stiff muscles. While it definitely does this, it is a recognized technique for many other pains and disorders.

Do you suffer from stress? If you’re like most people on this planet, you probably do on some days. Acupuncture is a great way to reduce stress levels in our bodies. By reducing these levels, we gain quite a bit. Stress can wreak havoc on our entire system. It can lead to anxiety, weight gain, and may even cause us to seek comfort in other bad habits like smoking. Imagine what it would be like to shed that stress from your system.

acupuncture in the villages

Acupuncture has been utilized for thousands of years. That means it has been used for longer than most traditional medicine practices. That’s a pretty good record. Still, many are hesitant to try it. Perhaps that’s because they simply don’t understand it. That’s why we want to inform you on what acupuncture is and some of the benefits you might see from it.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture involves inserting extremely small needles into certain areas of the body. These needles are much small than a sewing needle and most patients barely feel them, if at all. The needles are inserted into specific areas depending on what effect you are looking for.

What does it help with?

Acupuncture for improved health covers a lot of areas. One way that we mentioned already is to reduce stress hormones in the body. Other benefits include; pain relief, muscle relaxation, reduction of headaches or migraines, reduced eye strain, improved immune system and so much more. Click here to find out more benefits from acupuncture.

Laser Therapy In The Villages

Legacy Clinic now offers laser therapy in The Villages!

Laser therapy in The Villages is the non-invasive use of laser energy to generate a photochemical response in damaged tissue. Laser therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions. As rehabilitation specialists know, the main goal of treatment for many when treating painful, debilitating
conditions is to facilitate improved function and mobility. Laser therapy is a drug-free, surgery-free technique to help make that goal a reality.

Benefits of laser therapy

  • Effective for difficult conditions
  • Alternative to surgery
  • Fast treatment times (typically 5-10 minutes)
  • Easy, non-invasive treatment
  • Scientifically proven treatment
  • An adjunct to prescription drugs
  • Pre and Post-surgery treatment to speed recovery time

Basics of laser therapy

Effective laser therapy administration is a direct function of the power of the laser light and dose delivered. Administering the optimal treatment dose to patients produces consistent positive outcomes. Class V therapy lasers provide a deeper depth of tissue penetration and ultimately provide a dose that results in positive reproducible outcomes. Higher wattage also results in
faster treatment times and provides results unachievable with low wattage lasers. These lasers provide a level of versatility unrivaled by other Class I, II, III and IV lasers due to their ability to treat both superficial and deep tissue conditions. Legacy Clinic offers a class V 60 watt laser.

What can you expect from laser therapy?

Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique to help reduce pain and inflammation. Laser therapy can be safely used as an adjunct or replacement for pharmaceutical drugs. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery. Laser therapy treatments last between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the condition being
treated. Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as laser light cannot penetrate through layers of clothing. You will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.
