How To Strengthen Your Back and Prevent Back Pain

I found this article done by Thomas Michaud, DC on Dynamic Chiropractic and thought it would help you.

Pay attention to my highlights.

Final Thoughts:

• Low back pain is very common and there are multiple different causes for it.

• There are 3 primary causes: Physical trauma, Nutrition Imbalances, and even Emotional stresses can contribute.

• This article is on the Physical component, primarily the weakness of the back.

• I found this article simple and can be easily implemented in your daily routine.

• As with any exercise, Consistency and Repetition is key. But first, do a home assessment using these guidelines to see if your back is weak.

• We are here to help if you want a thorough assessment.

How your Neck and Back Pain Can Come from tight Hamstrings

For as long as I can remember, since I've grown to have such long legs, my hamstrings have been tight! After examining a patient today, her symptoms were mid back and neck pain, but she also had tight hamstrings. So I showed her some stretches for the hamstrings. I believe it can make a big difference to the neck and back. It's all connected through meridians which are acupressure Pathways that are like electrical roads going up and down the body. When it's blocked in the hamstrings, and can be blocked and cause pain in the mid back and neck. So why don't you try these stretches out because some of the best stretches for my chronic hamstrings were some yoga poses. There are 100’s of ways to stretch. Do you know the ones that work the best? …. The ones you are going to do! Check it out Stretch #12! Its the one most effective for my hamstrings.

DIY Shoulder Pain Treatment

Found this great exercise for the shoulder. Especially if you have frozen shoulder or any other type of chronic pain and lack of motion. This is NOT for acute, traumatic shoulder injury.

Set yourself up on a comfortable firm bed by looking at the picture on this article on follow the directions on what to do.

As always foundational practices are critical for you in your journey of healing.

Optimize Your Health! Hope for Serious and Unusual health problems- PEMF

Do You Need a Stronger PEMF Treatment?

Benefits of Getting Treatment At a Clinic:

This system is commonly used by practitioners for its ability to target deep tissue, provide rapid pain relief, and promote recovery from injuries.

Both the HOLOS and Dr. Paul’s Pulse XL PRO may work best when used together. HOLOS treats organ meridians on the skin, indirectly affecting deeper organs, while the XL PRO directly targets the organs. Voltage boosts the body's healing energy, similar to how a charged battery powers a device. However, HOLOS doesn't directly increase Voltage. Click button below and See page 3 and 4 for MORE INFO:

“I’ve since bought at least a dozen PEMF machines, including an upgraded one from a company called Pulse Centers in Georgia. These machines are a godsend in terms of pain relief and healing. But I also use them for entirely different reasons: These machines boost my energy and concentration levels and improve my sleep”

— Tony Robbins

PEMF therapy boosts the bioelectrical potential in your body, referring to the measurable and ever-present electrical charge or voltage of the body throughout life.

This bioelectrical charge vanishes upon death, suggesting it could be akin to a physical manifestation of life force.

Tony notes, “We lose some of this charge as we age,” highlighting PEMF's ability to restore our bodies to optimal energy levels, though the specifics of this process are not deeply detailed by Tony. It is, however, straightforward to explain.

The core mechanism of PEMF involves pulsing an electromagnetic field over a conductor, inducing an electrical current by a basic physical law also employed in electricity generation.

In PEMF therapy, the body acts as the conductor. This creates microcurrents that boost the cellular voltage, akin to how a fully charged battery enables efficient operation. As Tony Robbins mentions, PEMF effectively increases the body's energy.

According to Dr. Jerry Tennant in ‘Healing is Voltage,’ children have a higher cellular voltage of approximately -35 millivolts, about 25% higher than adults' -25 millivolts. Higher energy is necessary for growth, compared to maintenance in adults. Dr. Tennant also links low voltage with chronic diseases and injuries, noting a decline in voltage with age.

Tony Robbins summarizes the benefits of PEMF as enhancing energy, concentration, and sleep quality in his book, ‘Life Force.’

As a certified PEMF practitioner with five years of experience and thousands of treatments, I've observed firsthand how PEMF boosts energy among other benefits like reducing pain, inflammation, and improving sleep.

PEMF charges even the bone marrow, targeting either the overall low body voltage or specific problem areas. Consistent treatment over time provides significant benefits, as I have personally experienced.

Western medicine now recognizes each cell's electrical charge as crucial for natural physiological functions and self-healing. Any deviations in cellular voltage can disrupt health and potentially lead to disease.

Dr. Richard Nuccitelli’s invention, the Dermacorder, in 2012 enables monitoring of injury currents, showing that current strength at an injury site spikes initially then decreases as healing progresses, and is undetectable when healing is complete. Interestingly, he noted that the initial current strength decreases with age.

“A ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”

— Benjamin Franklin

This has spurred interest in methods to enhance the body's natural electrical potential to potentially improve wound healing and correct other biological imbalances.

PEMF has been shown to not only increase cellular voltage but also enhance bioelectrical cellular communication, which Tony Robbins’ ‘Life Force’ links to aging research. Poor cellular communication might also play a role in major diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Pulse XL Pro is in the top of its class in U.S. PEMF TECHNOLOGY.  Its one of the Most powerful devices in the U.S.  Pulsecenter Calls it “Cellular Exercise” and Makes no Claims to treat any disease but in general, PEMF therapy is FDA approved in the U.S. for treating certain brain cancers, depression, anxiety, non-healing bone fractures, and incontinence, showcasing its wide-reaching potential and effectiveness.

After thousands of hours using PEMF personally and on my patients, I’d strongly advocate for anyone to invest in this therapy for continual, daily use—echoing Tony Robbins’ practice.

Top Six Things Contributing to Constipation

There are many things that can contribute to constipation. It can be miserable especially if you have a history of it.

The most important thing is figuring out what is causing the problem. There are multiple causes but I have found through clinical experience the top things below. Here are simple starting steps so you can flow and not be backed up:

1. Are you drinking enough water? Water is essential ingredient to life and makes up most of your body. So if you're not consuming proper amounts of water then you need to to do that. It has a serious effect on major health issues in the body. One patient called me and said she was feeling lousy. She was on my tailored Nutrition program to cleanse her body. I asked her if she was drinking enough water. She said no. Her symptoms cleared up once she hydrated herself. You want to drink up to 96 ounces per day depending on your body weight. I recommend drinking a quart of water for every 50 lb of body weight. 

2. Are you having 4 cups of Vegetables measured raw per day? Here is a link to measuring vegies so you know how much you are having:

3. Fill in the blank, 2 of the most common nutrients lacking in our diet are: _______________________

Answer: Magnesium and Vitamin C. I have found these nutrients helpful for overall health and bowel movements. The Magnesium Citrate version is best for constipation. Start with dosage on the back and increase 1 serving daily till bowel tolerance (soft stools/diarrhea), then back up to the prior dosage. Do this for both supplements. Quality brands are essential for this. We use Designs for health, Stellar C and MagCitrate Powder.

4. Are you Stressed on the toilet? If you are you won’t go. Stress = Bowel Constriction, Relaxation = Bowel opening up. Its like a kinking a water hose when you are stressed. Counteract stress with the following:

• Deep breathing

• Gargling with no liquid in your mouth. This stimulates the relaxation nerve (Vagus nerve) to relax your body. It is wierd but it works!

• Side note: Sometimes putting a small stool underneath your feet can reposition your tailbone for easier elimination.

5. Environmental Toxins https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2551954.

• My observation is that every patient that has walked in for my Nutritional Consult has had too much heavy metals in their body. This can cause constipation. See ncbi reference above and do your own research as well. Toxic exposure is only getting worse as time goes on. Heavy metals, antibiotics, insecticides, pesticides, other pharmaceuticals & even radioactive uranium are in the water we drink and the food we eat. Please make sure that the water is purified either through a reverse osmosis or Berkey filtration system. If you are using bottled water, I recommend using Aquafina or Dasani water because I know that those are filtered with reverse osmosis. You can check other types of water by calling the company and asking if they use reverse osmosis. Personally, I use the Berkey filtration system which is 2 cents a gallon for the main filters and six cents a gallon for the fluoride/arsenic filters. I believe its the most effective at toxin removal while being the most cost-effective. Additionally, reverse osmosis takes away all the essential nutrients while the Berkey retains those. Minerals are in the same “family” as heavy metals, they all talk to each other and help “transport” heavy metals out of your body. Just search it up online and you'll see how critical minerals are for thousands of chemical reactions in your body as well.

• Antibiotics in water and food. What is the most abundant in your body? Can you count to 37 trillion? That is how many body cells you have. What outnumbers the cells in your body? Can you count to 100 trillion? That is how many good bacteria are in your body. Your Digestive system hosts a majority of them. Antibiotics kill them! It's in food and water and can have residual effects today even though you had them many years prior! What does the good bacteria family do?

• Helps with Depression by producing seritonin, the feel good chemical (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4393509/).

• Helps with constipation (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951383/).

• Host of other things as well.

The Bottom line; Filter your water, buy organic fruits and vegetables. Buy properly fed & treated animals which have been allowed to graze. If tight on budget, wash your fruits and vegetables with a cleanser as well as eat hormone and antibiotic free animal food sources.

6. Body Work

• Body work would involve movement of the body at home and sometimes getting professional help, if needed. The body works by communication just like human beings need to communicate. Your body communicates through the brain and sends signals to the rest of the body to tell it what it should do and the body responds by telling a signal back to the brain using a feedback mechanism. Your vital organs communicate automatically through the autonomic nervous system which controls your stress and relaxation systems but it works through the conscious mind when your lifting something using muscles. Both of those require communication.

• There's another set of communication pathways that happens on the skin surface called meridians (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25206574) . Acupressure without needles, which we do at our office, are ways to unblock short circuits of these communication pathways. I liken it to an orchestra singing a beautiful song and all the players are in perfect tune and harmony. These short circuits on the surface of the skin (meridians) or blockages of the actual nervous system (brain/spinal cord/nerves) can be helped with home treatment or if necessary, chiropractic care, or acupressure. This movement, song or dance, if you will, of your body through the nerves of the body and the meridians can be short circuited and cause your colon to be constipated.

  Testimony:

  One of my most recent patients was referred to by another patient. He was pretty much at death's door. After starting with me, the doctors said it was a miracle that he was still alive. He had been admitted to the hospital for a ruptured aortic aneurysm. He was in a coma for one month and by the time he got here he was at 30% heart function, severely constipated and on narcotic drugs for pain, he wasn't getting any sleep, he had lost 30 lbs, and diagnosed with cancer and liver failure. To say the least, his life was miserable!

  We did the foundational lab tests on him, analyzed what he needed from the lab tests and started creating a new story for him! After he started my program, here is what happened in 1 month:

• Heart function improved from 30% to 50%

• Gained 20 lbs

• Pain gone

• Constipation gone

• Thankful to me because he was able to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas

• Sleep improved 20%

  Not everybody is is at death's door when they come in. I'm hoping that you'll talk to me much sooner than that! It'll be easier for me and especially for you so that you don’t needlessly suffer.
  
  So those are the top things associated with constipation I hope you got benefit from this.
