Neuromuscular Trigger Point Massage: Most Effective Treatment for Neck & Back Pain - How to Get Started.
Many people that suffer from recurrent or chronic neck or back pain have likely tried all manner of “cures” and are probably skeptical that there is anything that can work for them. However, the fact of the matter is that neck or back pain can be cured permanently. The first step begins by learning as much about your condition as you possibly can. To keep oxidative stress and systemic inflammation at bay, you need to drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, as well as an anti-inflammatory diet. This may mean a diet low in sugar and gluten-free. Everyone who suffers from back or neck pain or headaches has trigger points. Seeing a qualified neuromuscular / trigger point massage therapist to releases and deactivate your trigger points is step one to eliminating your pain. Doing the proper Postural Realignment Exercises to restore your muscle imbalances is step two. Take time off occasionally to relax and meditate. Reacting to stress less reduces the agitation and frustration in your body which causes muscles to tighten and spasm.

Chronic neck pain is a common and disabling condition among older adults, but little is known regarding the cost-effectiveness of commonly used treatments. A recent study investigated the cost-effectiveness of therapy, supervised exercise, and home exercise among a group of 241 older adults with chronic mechanical neck pain. The investigators found that manual therapy combined with home exercise resulted in better clinical outcomes and lower costs than either supervised exercise combined with home exercise or home exercise alone. The study demonstrates the benefit of utilizing soft-tissue therapy in the management of chronic neck pain.

Health Alert: Is Modern Lifestyle to Blame for the Obesity Epidemic?
When it comes to the obesity epidemic, is nature to blame… or nurture? An analysis of data from nearly 8,800 adults participating in a nationwide health and retirement study revealed that participants were more likely to pack on more pounds if they were born later in the 20th century, regardless of whether they had a high genetic risk for obesity. The researchers suggest that modern conveniences may be to blame as they have allowed people to become more and more sedentary. The Obesity Society’s Dr. Anthony Comuzzie explains, “When was the last time you got out of the car and opened your own garage, or got off the couch to change the TV channel?… People have more money to spend on easily available fast food, and they are less likely to engage in physical activity. It’s a double-edged sword.”

Lead researcher Dr. George Pounis writes, “We have seen that consumption of pasta, contrary to what many think, is not associated with an increase in body weight, rather the opposite.”

Wellness/Prevention: Keep Your Child's Sandbox Safe.
Wellness/Prevention: Keep Your Child’s Sandbox Safe. For decades, children have played in sandboxes. But while these play areas allow kids to express their creativity and enjoy the outdoors, sandboxes can also harbor germs. To help keep your child’s sandbox safer, the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests: use only natural river or beach sand, cover the sandbox when not in use to keep animals and insects out, let wet sand dry completely before covering, rake sand regularly to get rid of clumps and debris, and keep pets out of the sandbox.

“We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand.”
