Sinus Trouble Miracle

SEASONAL ALLERGIES

As  springtime  approaches,  leaves  begin  to  appear,  flowers  bloom  and  the new season of green grass begins to grow. It is a wonderful time of the year to  see  life  come back  and  all  the  beauty  it  has  to  offer.  That  is  of  course  if you’re  not  a seasonal allergy  sufferer.  The nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, itchy eyes and throat, skin rashes, headaches and fatigue may just hamper the enjoyment that many other derive from this time of year. 

So   what   actually   is   an   allergic   reaction?   It is basically the body’s inappropriate response to substances it believes is foreign. When an antigen or  foreign  substance enters  the  body  the  body  produces  antibodies  in  direct response to this invader. These antibodies (referred to as immunoglobulin E or IgE) are perfect fits and combine with the antigen like a glove would fit a hand.  This  combination  then  impacts  on  a certain  type  of  white  blood  cell called  mast  cells.  Mast cells are predominately found in the nose, skin, lungs, and digestive tract. This antigen-antibody reaction creates a release of a substance from the mast cells called histamine.  The  nose,  eyes  and breathing  passages  have  receptors  on  them  specific  for  histamine  and  when it arrives  the  itching,  sneezing,  swelling  etc. begin.   

Most  sufferers  will  take  over  the  counter  medications  due  to  the  severe discomfort allergies  can  create.  Unfortunately  most  medications have  side effects  such  as fatigue  or  heart  rhythm  disturbances.    Some  of  the  over  the counter  medications can  have  serious  side  effects  if  combined  with  other medications. 

There are some natural remedies that work fairly quickly with absolutely no side  effects. One  of  the  most  effective  remedies  that  I  have  seen  over  the years is a product made by Standard Process called Antronex. Discovered by  Japanese  researchers  in  the 1920’s,  Antronex  has  a  strong  anti-histaminic effect  and  is  actually  a  special  liver extract  which  the  Japanese  named Yakitron.  Yakitron  is  the  blood  filtering  fraction of  the  liver  so  the  product quickens  the  detoxification  of  the  blood  in  its  flow through  the  liver.  Antronex works best in an acidic gastrointestinal tract so you may also need some digestive enzymes to acidify yourself.  People  with  the  severest  of allergies  will  usually  start  with  three  tablets  up  to  four  times  a  day.  Within two days a significant improvement is usually noticed. 

Antronex is sold at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic

Lumbar Facet Syndrome - Dr in the Villages focuses on correcting, not masking symptoms

Lumbar Facet Syndrome

One of the most common causes of lower back pain is lumbar facet syndrome. A pair of facet joints extend out from each vertebra along the back of the spinal column (the side that faces out), which connect to the corresponding vertebrae above and below, allowing for movement in the spine. Like any other joints, they are subject to injury and conditions such as arthritis or repetitive motion disorder. The more activity someone does that JAMS the Vertebral discs then

the greater chances of facet syndrome. Your Lumbar spine is structured with a lordotic curve. That curve is formed to distribute the weight evenly on each vertebra. When you lose the lordotic curve from sitting or poor posture then your weight on your joints are not evenly distributed and creates too much force on your Lumbar facet joints. The lumbar facet joint can create pain stemming from a variety of causes. One of the most common causes is simply aging. As we get older, the cartilage in our joints wears down and the synovial fluid lessens, reducing the cushioning the cartilage provides, and allowing the bones of

the joint to rub together. Smokers are at greater risk for lumbar facet syndrome, as it has been proven that smoking leads to greater cartilage loss. Injury to the lumbar facet joints caused by trauma or overextension (a situation particularly common among athletes) can also lead to this syndrome.

The Spinal Facet Joint

Some of the symptoms of Facet Joint Syndrome include:

1.) Severe spinal pain, particularly when engaged in movement.

2.) Stiffness and limited motion ability in the area of the back.

3.) Pain becomes worse upon bending backwards or straightening the back.

4.) When the lumbar nerve is affected, sciatica symptoms may occur.

5.) An onset of Pinched Nerve symptoms may arise, particularly in the area of the cervical spine.

Suffering from Facet Joint Syndrome

Individuals suffering from facet syndrome may feel worse in the morning, due to increased inflammation and stiffness that occurs during a resting period. They tend to have stiffness and usually will feel somewhat better after they have been moving around. As the day progresses they tend to be ok as long as they keep moving. However, for those having to work seated all day or work from a computer, they may find they are at a greater risk of experiencing pain

throughout the day. Patients often try shifting their posture in an attempt to find relief. But while this temporarily reduces discomfort, the resulting poor posture can trigger muscle spasms in the surrounding tissue, forcing the irritated facet joints more firmly together and making movement in the low back even more painful.

Treatment for Facet Joint Syndrome

People with lumbar facet syndrome respond particularly well to chiropractic care.

If you’re experiencing symptoms mentioned above and are looking for a chiropractor in The Villages, you can schedule a free consultation at Legacy Clinic of Chiropractic. While the mechanisms underlying facet syndrome are similar for everyone, there are factors unique to each patient, however, which determine what type of care will work best for you. If your condition is out of

our scope of care, or we believe someone else may be a better choice for you, we will research who the best medical professional would be and give you a referral.
