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.

 

Results: Immediate relief! Bending from the waist with no pain traveling down the left leg

Dr. Aaron Perry is a doctor of oriental medicine and practices acupuncture at Legacy Clinic in The Villages. He is a certified acup-point injection and ozone practitioner. Dr. Perry offers complimentary consultations to learn more about treatment options, the formula used, and dosages.

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. 

Jenny Sweat is a Corrective Trainer at Legacy Clinic. She has over 30 years of experience and holds a master's degree in exercise science. Her focus is to provide specific training and exercises to help your body function better.

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

The Importance Of Stimulating Your Adrenal Glands With Chiropractic!!

By Dr. Chris Kessler, DC
In honor of September being the birth month of Chiropractic, I wanted to take a moment and focus on one vertebra and that you should always have adjusted in order to stimulate your immune system.
Your ninth thoracic vertebrae (T9) are the most important vertebrae I can stimulate if a patient walks in my door with a decreased immune system or is feeling under the weather. Symptoms of a decreased immune system can include brain fog, craving sweets or salty snacks, having a decreased sex drive, depression, difficulty getting over an illness, fatigue for no reason, inability to get restful sleep, inability to think clearly, insomnia, low energy especially in the morning, muscle and bone loss, muscular weakness and poor memory. All of these symptoms listed can be the result of a decreased immune system. One way to boost the immune system neurologically is to directly stimulate the adrenal glands in the body. Adrenal glands help your body deal with stress. When adrenal glands are under chronic or excessive stress in the body they can fatigue which directly decreases the immune system. Adrenal fatigue is very common in society today and one of the most underdiagnosed and under-treated clinical conditions. By getting a chiropractic adjustment on T9 we are able to directly stimulate the adrenal glands and improve immune system function in the body.
So if you are feeling tired, low on energy, and run down it is time to visit the Doctors of Legacy Clinic to get your ninth thoracic vertebrae adjusted in order to stimulate your adrenal glands and instantly boost your immune system

Title: Acupuncture needles size? / Acupuncture in The Villages

The size of acupuncture needles usually used have a diameter of 0.2 mm, in other words, they are tiny. The needles are about the same thickness as eyebrow hair.

 

Acupuncture needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate tissue and stimulation points. Most acupuncture points lie on the meridians; the points referred to as trigger points, can lie alongside the meridians. Acupuncture points are stimulated in acupuncture through various puncturing techniques to bring the body back into balance.

 

In traditional acupuncture, the needles are inserted into the skin or further into the tissue depending on the procedure and skin area. To stimulate the acupuncture point, the needles can be gently turned, lifted, lowered, or even tapped. This form of treatment is possible with almost all types of needles.

Weight Loss Supervised Program

Now is the perfect time to lose weight by participating in a doctor-supervised weight loss program.  

 

On average, our patients lose 25-35 pounds in a 10-12 week period by eating real portion-controlled foods with no exercise required.  Our program allows patients to lose unwanted fat and keep this fat off in the future.  This type of unwanted fat can be found lingering in our thighs, hips, belly, torso, and arms.  This is the fat that we like to look at and prod at while standing in front of the mirror. Our incredible program is designed to get you healthy and lose unwanted weight along the way.

 

The National Institute of Health defines obesity as having a Body Mass Index of greater than 30. Body Mass Index measures how healthy your weight is based on your current weight and height to determine how healthy your weight currently is. Current statistics show that 1 in 3 American adults are classified as obese and that 1 in 13 American adults are classified as morbidly obese which means that they need to lose 100 pounds or more. Sadly these statistics are on the rise. 

 

As we all know, obesity is linked to many diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, osteoarthritis, gallbladder problems, breathing issues, and more. We also recognize there are many reasons that an individual may struggle with weight gain and weight loss. We recognize the importance of a doctor-supervised program that strives to not only ensure patients reach their weight loss goals but also promote their overall best health.

 

We are committed to helping our patients achieve their weight loss goals by providing them with exceptional products and resources to establish and nurture a successful weight loss program. We continue to ensure that patients reach their weight loss goals by offering results and education-driven programs where everyone can succeed. 

 

Now is an incredible time to join our long list of successful weight loss participants who have lost tremendous amounts of weight and inches.
