Pain Management to Treat Symptoms of Fibromyalgia
Posted on 2012-05-14 07:58:56
Our chiropractor, Dr. Lee helps patients who are suffering from many different pain conditions. Chiropractic care is a natural way to treat pain and injuries such as back pain, neck pain, leg cramps, headache, and much more. One of the conditions that we treat quite often is fibromyalgia, and although we have a number of patients come to see us for pain management and wellness care of this condition, it still remains largely undefined. Chiropractic Care Offers Long-Term Pain Relief
Chiropractic treatment is especially helpful for fibromyalgia patients because a chiropractor is able to gently adjust the spinal column and the neck vertebrae so that any compression is relieved. When the spine compression is no longer present, the various aches and pains all over the body can be alleviated. Chiropractic care is also helpful for long term pain relief and total wellness since spinal manipulations prompt the body to release extra endorphins. Additional endorphins are very helpful for fibro patients since this allows for pain relief without the need for medication.

Tips to Steer Clear of a Car Accident Injury
Posted on 2012-03-08 10:49:04
A car accident injury can cause a lot more than just back pain -- a serious impact can easily prove fatal. Here are three tips that can keep you, your passengers and your vehicle intact:1. Control your interior environment. Keep your hands on the wheel and away from your cell phone, radio controls or coffee cup. Even a split-second loss of control could turn disastrous.
3. Know when you (or others) are impaired. Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including any medications that might cause drowsiness. Take occasional breaks to avoid road fatigue and get a full night’s sleep between legs of a long trip. Remember that the drivers around you may face similar impairments, especially after dark when visibility becomes an extra obstacle.

Queens Chiropractor Finds Source of Back Pain to Provide Effective and Lasting Care
Posted on 2012-02-09 08:02:08
Back pain sufferers can get natural relief from chiropractic care. Our Queens chiropractor Dr. James Lee offers non-surgical back pain treatment alternatives. Pain in your back can stem from several sources from existing conditions such as osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, osteoporosis, scoliosis and degeneration of spinal discs to back injuries resulting in a bulging disc, a herniated disc, improper posture, muscle strain, tears or ligament injury and poor alignment of the vertebrae.
While a traditional medical practitioner may prescribe medications and recommend surgery our chiropractor will use non-invasive, non-surgical techniques to put you on the path to recovery and free you from pain in your back. There are many different types of injuries that can cause chronic back pain such as car accident injury, a herniated disc, poor posture and sports injury.
Spinal Decompression Therapy Used to Treat Back Pain
Dr. James uses chiropractic care techniques to provide you with pain relief for your back issues. Spinal decompression therapy is a popular chiropractic method used for relieving pain in your back. This is an advanced therapy that treats injuries causing pain in the back and lower neck. If you are a candidate for spinal decompression then our chiropractor will apply distraction forces to your neck and back in a precise but gradual manner. This procedure allows the vertebrae to separate which creates a vacuum-like pull that relieves pressure on discs and nerves which in turn provides back pain relief. A herniated disc can be treated with this rehabilitation therapy. Successful decompression will not only provide pain relief, but allow you to walk straighter and move more freely.

Kick Out Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Queens Pain Relief at Dr. Lee's Spine Center
Posted on 2011-12-07 12:49:57
If you think sitting around and typing all day is a harmless activity, think again. Any repetitive activity, such as typing, hammering, and chopping, can lead to the increasingly common condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel can result in tingling, weakness, burning and nerve pain in the wrist area, with the more extreme cases resulting in a loss of strength in your grip or even losing sleep because of the extreme discomfort. Dr. Lee’s Spine Center has effectively treated carpal tunnel syndrome to give you the pain relief you deserve.Chiropractor Corrects Underlying Cause of Carpal Tunnel
Our Queens chiropractor Dr. James Lee focuses on naturally healing techniques that work to correct the underlying cause of pain for a variety of conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome included. Carpal tunnel is caused by pressure on the median nerve that runs above the wrist. This pressure can come from seemingly simple yet repetitive activities or something more severe, such as an injury. Alleviating the pressure on the median nerve typically leads to an alleviation of the wrist and nerve pain and other symptoms associated with carpal tunnel.
Although the pain of carpal tunnel generally extends from the hand and wrist, correction of the condition often starts in the spine. Carpal tunnel can actually originate from a misalignment in the neck or back, which Dr. Lee can help correct with a spinal adjustment to the area. Once we pinpoint and correct the underlying cause of the pain, our carpal tunnel treatments can be enhanced with corrective and strengthening exercises to help improve circulation, promote healing, and get you back to your regular activities as rapidly as possible.
