Characteristics of Degenerative Disc Disorder
Degenerative disk disease (DDD) can affect any area of the backbone, but it most commonly affects the low back (lumbar spine) or neck (cervical spine). Where you might have pain will be based on what area of your spine has got the disk degeneration.
You could experience pain for instance, at the site of the damaged disc—in your lower back.
However, the pain might also radiate (or travel) to a different part of your own body. The nerves that branch off your backbone travel to various areas of the body , so if the degenerated disc is pressing on a nerve in your back that is low —a nerve that's heading down to your legs—you may experience pain in your leg, too. The pain message will "go," and this can be called a radiculopathy in the medical world.
Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease
Typically, people who have degenerative disk disease have chronic back or neck pain. Sometimes pain will flare up—that's called an acute episode. The main symptom, however, is pain,

Why Am I Hungry? Bizarre Things Stoking Your Hunger
El Paso, TX. Chiropractor Dr. Alex Jimenez & Athletic Fitness Trainer Daniel Alvarado take a look at why people trying to lose weight are always hungry.
Why Am I famished … like all of the time?” Is that a question you’re asking a lot lately? That’s because weight loss is a bit more complex than “calories in, calories out.” While that is certainly important, getting your hormones under control is essential to stifle an out of control hunger.
Fortunately, you’re not destined to get a life of counting calories (and feeling starved all the time). Eating well, exercising and moving more during the day are key methods to shed weight. However, you can find several other ways to begin chipping away at those last few pounds, too. Here are a few odd things which make you hungry. And how you can start taking steps to reverse overeating …

Get A Deep Piriformis Stretch For Sciatica, Hip & Lower Back Pain
Many people suffer from lower back pain that spreads downward to the limbs and feet. This can often be alleviated by doing a deep piriformis stretch – a stretch that releases tight piriformis muscles, and relaxes the sciatic nerve.
Constriction of the piriformis muscle can irritate the sciatic nerve because they lay in close proximity to each other. By irritating the sciatic nerve, the result is pain (either in the lower back or thigh), numbness and tingling along the back of the leg and into the foot.
What Is The Piriformis?
The piriformis muscle is a small muscle located deep in the buttock, behind the gluteus maximus. It connects the spine

Active or Passive Recovery: Which is Better?
Training doesn’t make us fitter – recovery from training does. So, how do we recover? An easy jog or spin, or a lazy day on the sofa, asks Beate Stindt, chartered physiotherapist at Six Physio.Recovery can be either active or passive. Passive recovery is just that; total rest. A passive recovery day should not include any training. On these days you should rest and recover, which means no spring cleaning and no walking around the shops for the whole day. An active recovery session usually involves your usual sport, be it running, swimming, cycling or yoga, but at an easy to moderate intensity. Active recovery has been likened to a short nap – the aim is to feel better at the end of your workout than you did at the beginning. Training for an event places a huge amount of stress on your body and hard sessions result in the hormone cortisol being released. Cortisol is a natural anti-inflammatory but, left to hang around in the blood for too long, can

Degenerative Disc Disease Caused by Obesity
Degenerative disk disease (DDD), which could affect any one of us as we age, may be particularly problematic for people who are overweight. To understand why, take a step back and consider the construction and function of your spine.
The spine is made to help support the weight of your body. It's designed to keep your weight balanced and evenly spread. For example, the vertebrae are positioned from smallest to largest: small in your neck (cervical spine) and greatest in your low back (lumbar spine). They grow in size because the lower parts of the back must support the most weight.
Your intervertebral discs—the cushions between your vertebrae—increase in size, also. Only because they need to absorb and adjust to the most weight, they are thickest in the lumbar spine.
The back must be functioning accordingly in order to ensure all of its structures are healthy. Nonetheless, in degenerative disc disease, their capability to properly operate are altered and often lost. Interv

4 Principles For Pain-Free Workdays
Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Alexander Jimenez shares some insights about a pain free workday.
#1. Use Healthy Posture & Movement Patterns
Considering all the emphasis on how little or much we should sit or stand at work, there is almost no discussion of technique in standing and sitting. Inferior technique slumpsitting, archsitting, parking weight is used by many people so on, and poorly on joints. As long as this is actually true, any place is going to stack up badly in the research—we are starting to see it for standing and ’ve seen this for sitting. Sitting has been much maligned as “the new smoking”; and now standing as a replacement is being demonstrated to cause increased hospitalization due to varicose veins, atherosclerosis that is increased, etc. A good starting point is stretchsitting, to start the journey back to a pain free workday. Stretchsitting is simple, safe, comfy, and therapeutic. Work with flannel, a towel, or a Stretchsit piMUST WATCH
