9 Benefits of Acupuncture

February 26, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Acupuncture is an alternative form of medicine that originated thousands of years ago in China.  The popularity of the treatment spread to Europe.  Throughout the last 50 years, it has become increasingly common in the United States and Canada. During acupuncture, needles are inserted at the patient’s skin at certain points and depths.  It has been known to provide these 9 benefits.

1 – Relief of Nausea

One of the growing reasons many people take advantage of acupuncture is because it has been known to help relieve nausea.  In particular, it is especially helpful to minimize sickness that comes after surgery or intense medical treatments.  Many doctors actually recommend it to their patients before and after surgery to minimize pain and recovery time.  It serves as a great alternative form of pain relief and does not have the unfavorable side effects (like nausea) that many pain medications cause.

2 – Minimizes Back Pain

Another common ailment that acupuncture can help is back pain.  Many people who suffer from chronic back pain prefer this eastern form of medicine to help them get the relief they need to handle daily activities and sleep better.  During the procedure, doctors are able to target pressure points in the back that may be causing the pain.  This targeted pain relief effort can be much more successful at reducing discomfort than common pain medications.

3 – Increases the Effectiveness of Pharmaceuticals

Many doctors also feel that acupuncture can help to increase the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals.  In particular, many mental health doctors recommend the procedure for patients on Prozac.  When combined together, anxiety and depression is greatly reduced.  Also, patients undergoing acupuncture usually need lower doses of their medication.  This reduces common side effects that are unpleasant, including weight gain, nausea, and a diminished sex drive.

4 – Helps Treat Veterinary Problems

Furthermore, acupuncture has been proven to be successful in the veterinary field.  Many veterinarians are actually using this treatment in combination with traditional methods.  They find that the therapy successfully reduces pain in animals and can promote recovery from a variety of sicknesses.

5 – Reduces Indigestion and Heartburn

In addition, regular acupuncture is a great way to minimize stomach problems, especially indigestion and heartburn.  These two problems are especially common among pregnant women.  Although diet changes are recommended to alleviate these concerns, it is not always easy with pregnant women due to taste changes.  Also, even adhering to a strict diet cannot ensure that indigestion and heartburn will disappear.  Since pregnant women are limited on the medication they can take, this alternative form of medicine is greatly beneficial at relieving discomfort and allowing women to have more favorable pregnancies.

6 – Minimizes Side Effects of Radiation and Chemotherapy

The therapy is also known to greatly minimize the side effects that cancer patients experience with chemotherapy and radiation.  It can reduce nausea and dry mouth that is common with these treatments.  In addition, patients who receive combine acupuncture with chemotherapy and radiation also have better mental health.  Though not all symptoms are alleviated, they seem to have a better outlook and more hope for the future.

7 – Lessens Constant Headaches

Many patients that suffer from a variety of headaches also find relief with acupuncture.  The needles can be used to target pressure points that may be triggering the pain.  Sometimes this can prevent headaches from returning.  Also, in patients with severe migraines, it has been known to significantly reduce the pain and provide a more comfortable life for these individuals.  In fact, many pregnant women who cannot take strong headache medications often rely on this alternative form of medicine to provide them with relief from head pain.

8 – Weight Loss

Those individuals who are overweight might also benefit from acupuncture.  Although the results on weight loss vary, many people have an easier time losing weight when this therapy is combined with diet and lifestyle changes.  The reason for this is because it can reduce the occurrence of triggers that might be the cause of overeating.

9 – Safe and Effective

Finally, this therapy is extremely safe for all individuals.  Very few side effects result from it compared to those that come when individuals take pain medications.  It works particularly well for the following people:

  • Individuals who cannot take pain medications.
  • Individuals who don’t respond to traditional pain medications.
  • Individuals who do not want to take pain medications

Talk to your doctor today about this eastern form of medicine.  It has many benefits and it could help you to minimize your pain and get the relief needed from some of the most common medical concerns.

10 Things You Need to Know Before Choosing a Physical Therapist

February 7, 2013 by Leave a Comment

It is your right to choose a physical therapist that will work hand in hand with your personal health care team or doctor. Here are the top 10 things you should know first prior to making a decision when selecting a physical therapist:

1. What is Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy is an approach to treat problems of the bones, joints, muscles and nerves in order to eradicate or reduce pain, maintain muscle tone, enhance range of motion and other related purposes. Physical therapy involves therapeutic exercises, massage, joint mobilization, body manipulation and more.

2. Is physical therapy an individual treatment?

Physical therapy is one of the most important components in the treatment and recovery of people suffering from an injury or an illness that prevents them from performing normal body movements. It is part of your overall treatment, which means your physical therapist will collaborate with your physician.

3. Do I really need to undergo physical therapy?

Physical therapy is usually indicated to patients who suffered from accidents (sports, automobile, forces of nature, etc) and are experiencing body injuries that affect their normal functioning in their daily lives. The need for physical therapy will be determined by your physician. He will be making the recommendation for you to undergo physical therapy if ever it is needed. Physical therapy is a vital part in recovery from many kinds of surgeries. Rehabilitation can take place as inpatient care or as an outpatient. Sometimes you have the option of receiving physical therapy in your home.

4. Who Is a Physical Therapist (PT)?

A physical therapist is a professional in the health care field who is responsible for assessing, diagnosing and treating people suffering from health-related problems that involve lack or limited ability to perform their activities of daily living through body movement.

5. What are the qualifications of a PT?

A legitimate PT must have graduated from a physical therapy program that is accredited by the state or the provincial bureau for education and also recognized by the state or the provincial board. He must have acquired a professional license after successful taking the state licensure examination.

6. What is an ideal physical therapist?

An ideal PT must have finished master’s degree or better yet, a doctor of physical therapy degree.

7. Can I choose my own physical therapist?

Yes, it is your right to be under the care of your preferred physical therapist. Many patients don’t know their right as the head of their own health care team – to choose whoever they want to be included in the team as long as they are qualified for the roles needed. Your doctor might recommend a physical therapist for you, so it is your choice whether you will accept his suggestion or get another PT.

8. Can I go directly to a physical therapist?

No, you must get a referral from your physician before going to a physical therapy. In other words, you should not go directly to a physical therapist without consulting your doctor. You cannot do this simply because you are under the care of a doctor, and he knows what kind of physical therapy you need. Also, you must know that physical therapists are not doctors so they cannot diagnose your injury and treat it with physical therapy at once. You should receive a physical therapy script, similar to a prescription for medication from your physician detailing the specifics regarding your treatment.

9. What type of physical therapy should I undergo?

Your doctor will recommend the type of physical therapy appropriate for your condition. He may collaborate with your physical therapist regarding this. Some forms of physical therapy are aquatic therapy, postural correction therapy and joint manipulation therapy.

10. How should I pay for the therapy?

It is ideal to choose a physical therapy clinic that can accept payment using various modes, such as cash, credit card and insurance. Most medical insurance plans cover some type of physical therapy.

Back Pain Solution: How To Use An Inversion Table Correctly

Solving back pain! In this video, I discuss the importance of having someone who knows what they are doing coach you through your inversion therapy experience.

Because most people do not hang upside down prior to getting an inversion table, we strongly recommend doing it with someone who has. Our Inversion Coaching Program, gives you just that; a person you can contact by phone or email to answer questions and help you through the first 90 days of your inversion experience. Watch the video for details!

More information at Better Health Innovations: http://www.betterhealthinnovations.com/Teeter_Hang_Ups_Inversion_Tables_s/22.htm

TRANSCRIPT:

Believe me, I know, you just want to get rid of your back pain, been through it myself. I have relatives, including my wife, who have been through it. Severe back pain to the point where you just can’t function, you can’t play with the kids, you have trouble doing basic things at work, basic things at home. You stand up for too long, your back hurts. You sit down for too long, your back hurts. You lay down for too long, your back hurts. There’s little doubt at this point that inversion therapy definitely can help a lot of people with back pain. The simple act of hanging upside down for a few minutes a day has helped out thousands and thousands and thousands of people.

When you buy an inversion table, you might be a little bit overwhelmed about how to use it, how to put it together, even where to store it, how often should it be used, and for how long should you be using your inversion table? Do you hang on it for an hour? The answer’s no. Do you hang on it for an hour? Do you hang on it for a few minutes? Is it better to do it in the evening and in the morning or just one shot sometime in the middle of the day? There are an awful lot of questions when it comes to using inversion therapy. A couple of years ago, we launched an extremely successful program called Inversion Coaching. When you purchase an inversion table from betterhealthinnovations.com, a Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table from us, you receive the services of an inversion coach, an actual person who will coach you through the inversion process. As part of this, you receive assembly instructions and receive information right up front before you even receive your table. The coach will walk you through based on your pace, using that inversion table. You get that inversion coach’s personal email address and you get that inversion coach’s personal phone number here in our offices, so whenever you have a question about inversion, you can certainly just give that person a call. You have an actual person’s name.

A little disclaimer here, we’re not doctors. We can’t provide any sort of medical advice to somebody using an inversion table or somebody who is looking for a back pain solution. We can coach in the mechanics of using an inversion table. What, in our experiences, either personal experiences or experiences in working with thousands of other customers, what, in our experiences, has worked the best for inversion table users.

I really encourage you, before running out and buying an inversion table, consider Better Health Innovations, consider our longstanding Inversion Coaching Program, so that you get a well-trained person, who knows how to use an inversion table, along with you as you start out. We launch this program, and it will last for 90 days, but certainly on the 120th day you can still call your inversion coach. When we launch this program, it will last for 90 days, to get the person up and running. We also have a 90 day trial period, so within that 90 days, if inversion isn’t working out for you and it does happen on some occasions, where for whatever reason, either you’re not using the table or it’s causing another issue or whatever, if you want to return that Teeter Hang Ups Inversion Table with us, unlike virtually anybody else that I’ve ever seen, with us you can return that for a full 90 days and you get all your money back. We don’t charge a restocking fee. We don’t try to reclaim the original shipping cost or anything like that. You contact us first, obviously, and then you ship it back to us and you receive a full refund from that, so the 90 day trial program coupled with the Inversion Coaching Program, it’s done very well for us and it’s done very well for thousands of our customers.

If you have any questions whatsoever about the program, about inversion in general, you can watch our other videos. We have several up about Teeter Hang Ups and about hanging upside down and inversion therapy. If you have any other questions, certainly leave them down there in the comments below. Definitely recommend that you subscribe to this channel as well, as every once in a while we will pop out another video about inversion therapy and other things that can help you out. Until then, take care everybody and have a great day.
