 Frieden provided chiropractic care to Jake but also counseled Jake's parents about nutritional options, for instance, suggesting they replace the brand-name liquid meal they were giving Jake with options containing less sugar, which might help the condition of Jake's teeth and generally improve his health. She also used a technique called Total Body Modification to help with a Candida infection, improve his sinus problems, balance his body fluids, and address other general health concerns. |
| Here is one story that demonstrates how we can work back from the real to the virtual:
"One lady who agreed to try the new Stomach Driver came to me and said, 'Did you know that I got a chiropractic adjustment from that Infoceutical?' I just said, 'What?' because I had no idea what she was talking about. So she went on, 'Yes, I took Stomach Driver and my back clicked!' Apparently she had a chronic disc problem in her lower back, and it resolved itself in only a matter of minutes from the effects of the Stomach Driver Infoceutical. |

"It doesn't always work out that way," Peter continued. "Sometimes people say that this or that happened, and I go to the lab and check, and the match cannot be verified. So perhaps it is just placebo, or something too complex for me to work out as yet, but many times it does work out, and we get a new piece of the body-field puzzle. Things like that happened all the time. |

 That's when many people begin investigating medicinal herbs, acupuncture, or chiropractic care. It is only after they have tried everything with conventional medicine -- drugs, surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy -- that they finally realize they are not getting any healthier and need to do something different.
It is interesting how conventional medicine can so strongly motivate people to check out alternatives because most of the therapies in conventional medicine simply do not work. Even worse, they actually cause tremendous harm to patients even while promising to help them. |

 The latter type of condition is best treated by other forms of therapy, such as osteopathy, chiropractic therapy, physiotherapy, or surgery, depending on the nature and severity of the problem.
Gelsemium: If backache is combined with a heavy, weak sensation in the legs and feelings of unsteadiness, try Gelsemium. Pain and discomfort tends to be most noticeable and distressing at night and moving around after lying still feels very uncomfortable. Damp, cold weather aggravates problems, while gentle, continuous movement may relieve the pain temporarily. |

 If an examination reveals localized areas of dysfunction, treatment is begun to restore proper alignment to the spine. The chiropractic physician may accomplish the adjustment using various methods: touch (palpation), active motion (having the patient bend or stretch in different ways), and passive movement (in which the doctor assists the patient), or some combination of these.
One type of adjustment is a maneuver in which the joint is gently and precisely stretched to just beyond its normal range of motion. |
| Neuro-Emotional Technique
Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) is a process developed by chiropractor Scott Walker using principles from chiropractic and acupuncture. In NET theory, physical problems are almost always caused by a neuro-emotional complex (NEC), which consists of a combination of several or all of the following: a spinal vertebra out of alignment; an acupuncture meridian out of balance; a specific emotion being activated; a memory picture of an event in the past; and conditioned responses of various muscle or body systems. |
| This may be due to either an excess or a deficiency of energy (qi in TCM, and nerve energy in chiropractic). Chiropractors speak of the parasympathetic and sympathetic "tone" of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system controls the fight-or-flight stress response and activates the body; the parasympathetic calms the body and conserves energy. Subluxations can throw this system out of balance. "Subluxations restricting the parasympathetic or exciting the sympathetic nerve flow would result in sympathetic dominance," explains chiropractor Tim Leasenby. |
| She also tried chiropractic treatments, special shoes, heel lifts, and podiatrist visits, all to no avail. "They took X-rays of my feet to see if there was something wrong, but they couldn't find anything," she say. Barbara also suffered from constipation and leg cramps as part of her multiple sclerosis. Finally, she decided to consult with a licensed massage therapist and foot reflexologist.
During the first visit, a 30-minute session where the therapist kneaded, massaged, and pressed on the many knots of muscle tension on the bottom of her feet, Barbara felt a great deal of discomfort. |

What you eat definitely influences the quality of your sleep. Unhealthy eating patterns, including excessive intake of stimulants such as caffeine, sugar, and alcohol, along with eating too many nutrient-depleted, processed foods, can disturb sleep. |

 Adding and subtracting from your diet is key to asthma prevention and treatment, but upper-body massage and chiropractic care can also provide respite from asthma symptoms. Research shows that receiving an upper-body massage once per week relieves wheezing, chest tightness, pain, and fatigue. Plus, since the nerves in the upper back directly connect to the lungs and bronchial tubes, chiropractic care helps prevent asthma attacks and can even stop an asthma attack while it is happening, according to some experts. |

| Physical therapy: Physical therapy or chiropractic manipulation of the neck is helpful for many people suffering from whiplash. Returning to normal activity is encouraged, generally while taking NSAIDs to reduce inflammation and encourage healing.
Neck support: A soft cervical collar can provide an injured neck with good support. However, patients are encouraged to restore the neck's range of motion, and collars should not be used for more than two weeks. |

 So how does chiropractic work its magic on back pain?
It all starts with what chiropractors call a subluxation. "In layman's terms, it's a misalignment," says my friend, Matthew Mannino, D.C., an Arizona holistic chiropractor. Best described as "not quite a dislocation," which is a complete separation of a joint, a subluxation is actually a degenerative condition in which one or more of the spinal vertebrae are out of place. In other words, it's lost its proper juxtaposition with one, or both, of its neighboring vertebrae.
"Over time, damage and stress occur, resulting in pain," says Mannino. |

| Performing T'ai chi daily has been shown to be helpful and craniosacral chiropractic techniques (which involve massaging the skull), therapeutic touch, massage, and yoga may also be beneficial. Stress reduction techniques such as meditation are also highly recommended. Support groups and behavioral therapy are often helpful as well.
Diet and supplements: Evaluating and optimizing the adrenal and nutritional status of the body should be part of treatment. Eat whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, and avoid processed foods to optimize energy. |

Tui Na is a Chinese medicine therapy similar to deep-tissue massage and/or chiropractic treatment. It is one of the most effective therapies for back pain. Consult with a well-trained practitioner regarding Tui Na treatment.
NATUROPATHY
Diet: Eat small light meals throughout the day. This will help you keep at a sensible weight and avoid toxic build-up that can aggravate back pain. Eat plenty of fiber to avoid constipation, which may aggravate back pain. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep your body hydrated. |
| Massage therapy, heat therapy, and chiropractic adjustments may also be helpful. Muscle relaxation with magnesium aspartate as a nutritional supplement usually helps to relieve muscle spasms, as does valerian root. Medication usually consists of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to help back pain and decrease swelling. Narcotic analgesics can be used in appropriate individuals for 48 hours prior to using NSAIDs. Skeletal muscle relaxants such as cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril®) may be helpful for severe spasm. Local and epidural injections sometimes alleviate chronic back pain. |

| THE STUDY
A study at Brigham and Women's Hospital looked at 19 patients who had low-back pain— six received conventional care and 13 received integrated care, which included acupuncture, chiropractic, internal medicine, massage therapy, neurology, nursing, nutritional counseling, occupational therapy, orthopedics, psychiatry/mind-body, physical therapy and rheumatologic.
Over the 12-week study period, the patients in the integrative care group had a significantly greater reduction in pain scores and a greater improvement in function than the conventional care group. |

Likewise, studies show that omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oils lower levels of blood fats and triglycerides. But WebMD's cholesterol health center refers only to the benefits of eating fish, but never discusses the inexpensive alternative to the lipitors, which are fish oils.

| Receive Regular chiropractic Adjustments
The human body is an intricate design made up of millions of nerves executing our every move. One group of vital nerves is located in the Lumbar Spine region. These nerves are responsible for the control of bowel, urinary, and sexual functions in the body. When these nerves become overactive or underactive (from a herniated or bulging disc, a pinched nerve, or even a slight misalignment), all three of these important functions can suffer. |

Bladder Infections
Blood volume increases 50 percent during pregnancy, causing the kidneys to work harder and making the urinary system more vulnerable to stress and infection. Especially in the last trimester, burning or frequent urination or cramping in the abdomen may indicate a bladder infection. |

A chiropractic spinal realignment can benefit anyone affected by stress, since the nervous system is controlled by spinal impulses. I recommend receiving spinal realignments on a monthly basis. I also recommend spinal exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine. |
