Your immune system works to keep you 100% natural, organic, unadulterated, you! It recognizes and destroys bacteria, viri, pollutants, dust, pollen, drugs, tumors, debris and artificial substances (metal and plastic, however, don’t trigger an immune reaction). Many things influence how well your immune system functions: your nervous system, endocrine system, diet, genes and emotions.1-3 Allergens and allergies The most common immune system disorder is the allergy that occurs when the immune system overreacts to an allergen (dust, pollen, milk, dog or cat dander, strawberries, etc.) and the body produces too many neutralizing chemicals (especially histamines) in response

  Avoid Herniated Disc Surgery through Decompression Persistent lower back pain, tight muscles, and shooting pain from disc injuries can be debilitating.  More than 65 million Americans suffer from low back pain every year.  For some, activity, stress, or a structural problem in their spine causes one of their discs to bulge.  Discs are located between your vertebral bones and act as shock absorbers that protect your spinal cord and bones.  When injured, the discs can bulge and press on a nerve root, causing pain and irritation.  The disc will bulge and become misshapen just as a jelly donut might with pressure on it.  This pressure causes nerve irritation and pain in the lower back,  pain and muscle weakness in the legs, and even numbness. Living with this pain is excruciating and unnecessary.  It is of UTMOST importance to understand your options to relieve your pain.  Surgery can be avoided.  Agreeing to being cut open and having your spine altered could cause permanent changes in your health and body functioning.  Surgery is one of the riskiest treatments for any back pain and offers some of the worst results when compared to less invasive therapies.  Do yourself a favor and do some background research on Failed Back Surgery Syndrome.  Millions still experience back pain after surgery. So what do I recommend?  I suggest finding an non-invasive therapy to get you out of pain and examine precisely the SOURCE of the nerve irritation, then provide individualized NON-INVASIVE treatment to rehabilitate the injury.   Spinal Decompression is a technique which is widely effective in treating disc injuries and low back pain.  It is non-invasive and it is far less expensive than back surgery.  At Manassas Chiropractic and Rehab, LLC, we offer sessions on a spinal decompression table to relieve pressure on the spinal discs.  This helps the “jelly” in the donut, (the flexibility and cushion of your discs), to become soft and gel-like again.
