College Athlete With Radiating Pain Down Leg

College athlete with radiating pain stops by Legacy Clinic in The Villages for a breakthrough treatment of his herniated disc. Devon Burkes, #7 University of Kentucky Catcher presents with radiating pain down his left leg and worse when bending from his waist. After further MRI, it is determined that Devon has a herniated disc between L5 and S1. Devon recently stopped by for a breakthrough herniated disc treatment by Dr. Aaron Perry. Dr. Perry administered prolozone into the low back-injured site to help heal the injured lumbar spine. Prolozone injections use a combination of nutrients, homeopathic, and ozone (miracle gas). The gas oxidizes the injected site, increases red blood cell production, and improves the intake of oxygen at the cellular level.

This Is How You Squat - Jenny Sweat Corrective Trainer

Did you know a squat is an important functional movement because we all squat during daily activities like sitting, getting off the toilet, or bending to pick something up?  A properly executed squat is critical to your overall low back health because of its ability to strengthen the thighs, hips, glutes, and core.  It can improve your balance, flexibility, and help you maintain your independence.  

Using a resistance band adds more loads to a regular squat and allows for greater muscle activation.  Depending on your fitness level, choose a band that provides challenging resistance, allowing you to maintain proper form without your knees turning inward.  

Jenny Sweat, Legacy Clinic’s Corrective Trainer, recommends the following steps to correctly perform a squat movement using a resistance band:

RESISTANCE BAND SQUAT: 

1) Stand with your feet slightly more than hip-width apart with a band just above your knees.  Your toes are pointed forward or slightly outward with your hands on your hips or in front of you.

2) Grip the floor with your toes and press your heels into the floor.  This helps to engage your glutes/buttocks more and maintain better balance.  

3) Slowly push your hips back into a sitting position while bending your knees, keeping your knees behind your toes.  You can lower yourself until your knees are at a 45 to 90-degree angle.  

3) Breathe in and hold the position for 2-3 seconds, then breathe out and slowly lift back up into the starting position, pushing through your toes and heels.  Slowly stand up while pulling your belly button in towards your spine and focusing on squeezing your glutes/buttocks.  

Perform 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps every other day.

Prolozone Shoulder Joint In The Villages

Shoulders are one of the most moveable joints in the body. Over time the joint wears away. It would be nice if we could spray some WD-40 on the shoulder to keep it moving properly, but our bodies do not respond to that. Luckily there is a break thought treatment for arthritis, joint pain, and tendon injuries. Legacy Clinic,, in The Villages, offers Prolozone injections by Dr. Aaron Perry. Dr. Perry is an expert in the oriental medicine field and has helped train several doctors at Acu-Ozone certification classes.

 

Ozone joint Therapy is a natural, non-surgical, minimally invasive, regenerative therapy used for many kinds of joint pain or injury. Due to the nature of ozone, it can work synergistically with the body, providing nutrition and oxygen supply to a particular area or joint. Ozone joint therapy consists of two phases. The first is adding proper nutrients to the injured area (i.e. vertebra, ligament, tendon, muscle, connective tissue, joint space, etc.) by injecting a solution of liquid vitamins, minerals, and homeopathic.  This aids in anti-inflammation to reduce swelling and increases circulation. And finally, the area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone. A special concentration is generated depending on the condition from a medical-grade longevity ozone generator. Over the next few days, the ozone gas will work by oxidizing the injected site, increase red blood cell production, and improved the intake of oxygen, This will result in an increase in cellular and healing activity at the injected site resulting in a reduction of pain.

 

If you are looking for a natural treatment for joint pain, back pain, arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, or muscle injuries; contact Legacy Clinic in The Villages for your consultation. Legacy Clinic is located in the heart of The Villages, FL featuring chiropractors, doctors of oriental medicine, massage therapists, and trainers.

Treat Disc Herniations With Spinal Decompression

There are 24 moveable vertebras in the spine with 23 vertebral discs that are between the vertebras. The discs have a couple of functions that consist mostly of providing a shock absorber and flexibility. It also keeps the space open where the spinal nerves exit that is between each vertebra. These nerves can travel to each cell, muscle, and organ in the body. 

 

The spinal discs are under a lot of loads each day from sitting, standing, bending, twisting, and lifting. This extra force and pressure on the disc cause the intervertebral discs to degenerate, thin, narrow, bulge, herniate, or protrude. When the disc space is decreased, the canal where the nerves come out also narrows. This can put pressure on the nerves that exit the spine. One of the most common nerves that exit the low back is the sciatica nerve. The sciatica nerve is made up of nerve roots from L4-S3. Wear and tear on the lumbar spine can easily narrow the lumbar disc space and put unbearable pressure on the nerves that make up the sciatica nerve.

 

Treatment options for Disc Herniation:

1. Spinal decompression to open the disc space 
2. Corrective training to restore the lumbar curves
3.  medical options consisting of pain management or surgery
