Traditional allopathic (medical) treatment looks at your body as individual pieces that need be “fixed” with outside interventions i.e. medications. We cannot deny that drug-type therapies have their benefits. Heck, my daugther was 12 hours old and stopped breathing and medical doctors saved her life. Thankfully she is a healthy 9-mo old girl in 2 days and the half a million dollars spent in medical treatments certainly were worth it.

However, there may come a time when drugs no longer provide the perceived benefit they once did. This is particularly true when it comes to nerve disorders such as peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, low back disc degeneration or bulging discs. These health challenges can be very disabling for the patient. Every day I consult with 3 to 4 patients who have been failed by the “system”. At some point you are pushed to find alternatives to more traditional methods when they fail.

Sadly nerve conditions tend to worsen over time and in some cases it is too late to help the patient. It’s always best to be proactive and treat the problem early rather than take a wait and see approach.

This is where we come in. Most drug therapies treat the symptom which is pain, numbness, tingling, burning, etc. Depending on the drug you take whether its Neurontin or Lyrica (both of which are epileptic seizure drugs), or narcotic pain relievers such as hydrocodone, oxycontin, or morphine; these drugs merely alter your perception of pain. We call them brain altering perception drugs in our office becuase that what they do.

Eventually your brain figures this out and the mind numbing effects wear off. The ensuing pain returns and you are left feeling much the same as you were a few days or months ago. You can take more of the drug but at some point you can only take so much before it become dangerous and side effects kick in.

In our office we treat the cause of the problem. Our detailed examination procedures and diagnostics we’ve used for the last 10 years will help us determine why you are having pain. The appropriate treatment will be recommended and assuming you qualify for care in our office, within a few visits most people begin to feel relief. In general we see paitents drastically reduce their pain medications, if not eliminate them completely. Of course we will have you discuss this with your medical professional who prescribed the medication, first, and allow them to advise you appropriately.

Our FDA cleared procedures have up to 90% satisfaction rates if you suffer from low back or neck pain, arthritis, sciatica, disc degeneration, herniated discs, or peripheral neuropathy.

We are always available to discuss your particular health concern and will be happy to provide a second opinion if your current treatment is not working for you.

The following is an excerpt from Sayer Ji founder of GreenMedInfo:

A growing body of clinical research now indicates that the cholesterol-lowering class of drugs known as statins, are associated with over 300 adverse health effects — research boldly flying in the face of national health policy, medical insurance premium guidelines, statin drug manufacturer advertising claims, and the general sentiment of the public, with approximately 1 in every 4 adult Americans over 45 currently using these drugs to prevent heart disease.

No one can deny that statins do exactly what they are designed to do: suppress cholesterol production and reduce measurable blood serum levels. The question is, rather, at what price do they accomplish this feat, and for what ultimate purpose?

Fundamentally, statin drugs damage the muscles and nerves in the body — so much so that a dose as low as 5 mg a day can kill a human. There are well over 100 studies demonstrating the myotoxic, or muscle-harming effects of these drugs, and over 80 demonstrating the effects of nerve damage, as well. When you consider that a vast proportion of our body is comprised of muscles and coordinating nerve systems, this drug has the potential to cause damage to the entire body, and undoubtedly does so universally, differing only in the matter of degree.

It is a remarkable fact that it took over 40 years before the biomedical research and publishing fields were able to produce a human study, like the one published in the Journal of Clinical Cardiology in Dec. 2009, showing that statin drugs, despite billions of advertising/marketing dollars to the contrary, actually weaken the heart muscle.

The well-known problem associated with statin drug use, is the blocage of the chemical pathway necessary to produce the heart-essential nutrient coenzyme Q10. Coenzyme Q10 deficiency itself may be a major contributing cause to heart disease. There is also research that statin drugs deplete the body of the cardioprotective minerals (and associated mineral-protein complexes) zinc and selenium. This finding may also explain why rates of heart failure may be increasing in the general population given these drugs.

While the discovery that statin drugs, instead of preventing heart disease, likely contribute to it, is surprising and counterintuitive, it should not distract from the more disturbing discovery that they contribute to over 300 disease and/or adverse health effects. Millions of statin drugs users around the globe are risking their lives on a bad bet that taking a magic chemical pill will reduce their risk of dying of a disease that is not caused by a lack of the drug. What is more likely to happen, however, is that the quality and duration of their lives will be reduced, profoundly, along with billions of dollars of squandered cash that could have been spent on authentically medicinal and cardioprotective foods, nutrients, minerals and vitamins.

Please note we do not intend for you to stop taking any medication without first consulting your healthcare professional.
