Low Back Pain is treatable but prevention is the best medicine! Orthopedic Docs in Newtown PA are about PREVENTION

September 23, 2012 by The PSSM Team

Herniated Disc Pain or Sciatica Pain can cause back pain but Orthopedic Doctors Say PREVENTION IS THE BEST MEDICINE!

The most common reason for doctor’s visit is the common cold but back pain is the second most common cause for a person to see a doctor!! The good news is that most back pain goes away in a few weeks to a few months. The bad news: Back pain can come back almost 90 % percent of the time within a year or two!!

So, here are some basic and more advanced exercises to do at the comfort of your living room to help keep back pain away. Remember, if you have pain with any of these exercises, please tell your doctor.

Do 2 sets of each exercise for 15 to 20 reps and that is it!!

For these exercises, you can start off NOT USING ANY MEDICINE BALL. But if you want to make it challenging, you can use a small or medium size medicine ball OR simply roll up a small towel and use that instead of the ball!!

Is your handbag causing you pain? More health tips from Newtown Chiropractor Dr. Kristy Root

April 26, 2012 by The PSSM Team Leave a Comment

A person should be sure to switch the straps from side to side often to shift the weight to alternate sides of the body and thereby minimizes the sole stress on one side of the body, as well as emptying and consolidating items in the bag frequently to rid the bag of any unnecessary excess weight.

Perhaps put your pills in a plastic baggie instead of carrying all the bottles around. This is an easy and quick way to eliminate excess weight and clutter. Also depending on the style be sure to store frequently used items such as your cellphone and keys in the front pockets so you don’t have to excessively twist your body which can cause muscle sprains of your neck and back.

Dr. Root Tells Us What She Can Do For Shoulder Injuries

If you have pain in both shoulder or back which you thinks stems from your bag be sure to follow up with your chiropractor for a proper evaluation and adjustment.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at PSSM Newtown or schedule a consultation 215-504-2223. Our new 10,000 square foot professional office is modern and spacious conveniently located right on the Newtown Bypass on 828-A Newtown Yardley Road, Newtown PA, one mile from 95 South.

Sciatica Treatment with Lysis of Adhesions

June 14, 2010 by The PSSM Team Leave a Comment

Performance Spine & Sports Medicine offers an innovative treatment for sciatica called “lysis of epidural adhesions”. The name implies that there is scar tissue in the epidural space and it is approved for the treatment of scar tissue. However, it can also be used in patients that have not had back surgery. Indications include failed back surgery syndrome, sciatica, low back pain, pinched nerve, herniated disc.

Lysis of Epidural Adhesions involves placement of a specialized catheter into the epidural space. We then inject contrast dye to visualize the defect that is causing the sciatica or low back pain. Often this is due to scar tissue or a herniated disc. Medications are then injected to soften these structures which allows specialized exercises to be performed in order to free the nerve root. This often gives tremendous relief of the leg pain and normalized function.

See the images below. The first image shows contrast dye throughout the spine but a lack of flow on the left side. This patient had sciatica involving the left leg. Note that the second image shows an opening of this space with flow down the nerve root. This patient had significant relief of left leg pain and restoration of function.

Call today to schedule an appointment to determine whether you are a candidate for this or other procedures.
