Importance of Proper Nutrition:

Good nutrition is important for everyone. Healthful diets help children grow, develop, and do well in school. They enable people of all ages to work productively and feel their best. What people eat can also help reduce the risk for chronic diseases, such as heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, stroke, and osteoporosis, which are leading causes of death and disability.   Finally, eating right can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, which increase the risk of disease.

Proper nutrition means getting both enough calories and the proper nutrients. Many people in this country eat more calories than the body needs. This can lead to obesity which is a risk factor for many diseases, like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. It is important to remember that, although an overweight person may be getting more calories than needed, he or she may not be getting all of the necessary nutrients.

Eating a daily diet that includes adequate amounts of bread, cereal, grain, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruit, and limits high fat foods, can promote health and reduce the risk of developing certain chronic diseases.

But what foods should you provide and in what quantity? Nutritional needs change throughout the life cycle. The number of calories and the amount of specific nutrients required will vary based on age, sex, reproductive status, activity level, and overall health of your clients. Moreover, the dietary preferences of different population varies widely based on cultural diversity, religious and regional differences, and personal preferences.

Cervical Traction Unit Cervical Traction Unit

Cervical Traction

 

Muscular tension in the neck and shoulders has long been a problem for patients attempting to recover from various forms of cervical dysfunction, both degenerative and trauma induced.

 

Manual cervical traction devices which a patient controls and also places the patient in a posturally correct supine position with a cervical lordosis can induce greater relaxation without further influence from the stretching action of the device.

It is commonly accepted that a major cause of disease in today's society is related to the effects of stress. Most of us can easily state that our lives contain too much stress. Often, simply the day to day activity required to support a career and family is at times overwhelming. In addition, as our society becomes increasingly technical in its orientation, we find our selves in sedentary patterns of living. Postures of flexion seem to dominate our hour by hour activity with little exception.

The effects of excessive flexion postures in our lifestyle can often lead to postural change, muscular imbalance, and ultimately to adaptive shortening of key muscle groups.

Early signs of these changes on our bodies can be:

  • increased onset of headaches
  • decreasing mobility of spinal joints
  • upper extremity sensory symptoms
  • general decreased physical comfort

These early changes are often clear predictors of the process of orthopedic degeneration. Diagnostic testing can often reveal degenerative changes in the spine which are much less reversible in nature.

Cervical spine traction is a major component of conservative management for patients exhibiting soft tissue disorders and is generally successful. The major goals of spinal traction include: Relief of pain, decreased pressure on cervical nerve roots, improved soft tissue extensibility as indicated in pain-free range of motion (ROM), and reduction in painful, protective muscle activity.

Often, home treatment involves use of a portable cervical traction device designed to augment the effects of improvements obtained by in-clinic manual and/or mechanical traction.  Cervical traction devices are intended for the patient who is independent, capable of using. good judgment, and who needs "fast" results when their symptoms exacerbate. It is highly portable, easily used and often very effective in almost immediate reduction in muscle tension-related discomfort.

 

Orthotics

Orthotics, the Foundation of Your Body

Your feet are the foundation of your body. They support you when you stand, walk, or run. And they help protect your spine, bones, and soft tissues from damaging stress as you move around. Your feet perform better when all their muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions.

The foot is constructed with three arches which, when properly maintained, give exceptional supportive strength. These three arches form a supporting vault that distributes the weight of the entire body.

If there is compromise of one arch in the foot, the other arches must compensate and are subject to additional stresses, which usually lead to further compromise.

It’s a chain reaction.

Healthcare professionals know alleviating pain in one part of your body often requires treating a different part. The pain you feel in your neck could be caused by a misalignment in your spine that is caused by unbalanced positioning in your feet. See? It’s a chain reaction.

By stabilizing and balancing your feet, Foot Levelers Orthotics enhances your body’s performance and efficiency, reduce pain, and contribute to your total body wellness. Our Orthotics complement your healthcare professional’s treatment when you stand, walk, and live your active life.

Cervical Water Pillow

In a study on adults with chronic neck pain conducted at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, it was found that water pillow usage was associated with increased pain relief and improved quality of sleep

Water based pillows provide additional advantages over conventional pillows or special orthopedic pillows as they allow for a more specific and personalized support system. As ever person’s neck and body form is different a typical orthopedic pillow or general customary pillow is made in one form for the general population. A water based pillow allows for the support of an orthopedic pillow with individual and personal customizing due to the water based components.
