Sitting Positions for Less Back Pain

Chiropractic care is typically sought out by people seeking relief from neck or back pain.  At Dr. Kent Carlomagno’s Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, we treat patients and relieve pain, but patient self-care is just as important for their continued health. Simple changes to everyday habits can help you live a pain-free life.  So many of us spend hours each day sitting, between working at computer desks, watching TV, and commuting to work. All of this sitting can cause back pain, making it the most common reason patients visit the chiropractor.  Making a few adjustments to how you sit can ease this stress, help alleviate back pain, and minimize future visits.

Believe it or not, you’ll put less stress on your back when you don’t sit up straight. Leaning back just enough so that your thighs are at a 135-degree angle with your torso is an optimal seated position for preventing back pain. Long periods of sitting are what really increase the risk of muscle pulls, strains, and cramps. So if you don’t have time to walk around and stretch at work, try switching between sitting and standing, and look for opportunities to lean back a little!  

If you suffer from back pain, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options. To learn more about all the treatments available at the practice, visit SummitChiro.net for more information.

Shoulder Pain

Chiropractic care is typically sought out by people seeking relief from neck or back pain.  At Dr. Kent Carlomagno’s Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, we are also skilled in treating extremities like the knees, elbows, and the shoulders. The shoulder joint is the body’s most mobile joint. It is surrounded by nerves, tendons, bursa, and other tissues which can all experience irritation and cause pain. This complex structure may require your chiropractor to assess your overall health and condition to target the root of the problem. 

Shoulder pain can have many causes.  Whether pain began after an injury or has increased over time, chiropractic treatment is a safe and effective way to treat damage to both hard and soft tissue.  When shoulder pain is caused by joint irritation, relief can often be achieved through an adjustment.  Pain in the muscles can be addressed by massage or stimulation therapy, and your chiropractor will recommend exercise and stretches if needed.

Cold Laser Therapy

Dr. Kent Carlomagno of Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center offers cold laser therapy to patients suffering from muscle pain.  Cold laser therapy can be used almost anywhere on the body to relieve pain and promote healing. If you have acute or chronic muscle pain in your neck, back, or shoulders and chiropractic adjustments haven’t helped you, cold laser therapy could be the solution for you.  Patients suffering from sprains, arthritis, and tendonitis are often recommended this treatment because it also helps reduce inflammation.

The laser is a small handheld device placed directly on the skin in the affected area. It uses light to stimulate affected muscle tissue and has the ability to penetrate two to five centimeters below the skin. The laser is applied to the affected area for anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes at a time. Treatments are usually scheduled a few times a week, and the length of a treatment plan can vary. Cold laser therapy is a non-invasive, drug-free solution with no adverse side effects.

Chiropractic for Headaches

Different kinds of headaches have different causes. Those headaches which radiate from the back of the head are called cervicogenic because they originate in the top region of the spine. Fortunately for patients seeking headache relief, at the Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, Dr. Kent Carlomagno practices adjustments and other treatments for the causes of aches and pains.

Cervicogenic headaches are caused by pinched nerves in the neck vertebrae. The cervical nerves are divided into two sets, one on each side, and are easily stressed by chronic overuse and whiplash. In some people, keeping the neck stiff while staring at a screen all day is enough to cause cervicogenic headaches. A ruptured disc will put pressure on the neck’s soft tissues and inflamed soft tissue will put pressure on the disc.

Chiropractic patients often experience great improvement from cervical headaches after undergoing neck adjustments, as well as cold laser and microcurrent treatments. However, because cervicogenic headaches often present similarly to migraines, as well as other neck and head issues, Dr. Carlomagno will want to take x-ray images and have a complete understanding of the patient’s lifestyle and injuries before determining a diagnosis.

Sleep Positions for Better Rest

Can the way you sleep contribute to subluxations? Most people don’t think about how long they may be holding a strenuous pose every night, but at the Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, we often see them suffering from the results.

People commonly have difficulty gaining restful sleep for two reasons: strain on the musculoskeletal system and obstructed airways. A person who sleeps on their back with a pillow under their head is keeping their spinal system in optimal alignment. Their lungs can expand freely and their limbs aren’t under any pressure. However, gravity is working against their throats, which can restrict airflow and is a common cause of snoring.

Sleeping on the front is the worst position for spinal health. The lumber vertebrae are left unsupported and stretched out while the head is pushed backward and sideways. People who sleep this way commonly suffer from back aches and neck aches, but they continue to do so because it feels easiest on their nasal and throat passages. Sleeping on the side is usually the easiest way to balance the musculoskeletal system’s needs with ease of breathing. Many people find that keeping a pillow between their knees prevents them from rolling over and suffering strain to their hips and knees.

What is Neuropathy?

At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center, Dr. Kent Carlomagno is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of neuropathy.  Neuropathy is typically short for peripheral neuropathy, and is defined as any damage to the nerves that carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the extremities.  Most often affected are the hands and feet and the condition results in both numbness and pain in the extremities.

Patients describe neuropathic pain as a steady burning or ‘pins and needles’ sensation.  Depending on the specific nerves damaged, patients also experience numbness or a tingling sensation.  Several inherited diseases can cause neuropathy, as well as trauma and infection.  If you experience numbness or pain in your hands and feet and are unsure of the cause, please contact us for an assessment. Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center offers cold laser therapy and vibration therapy to help the symptoms of neuropathy. A chiropractor can tell you which treatment would benefit your condition the best.

What is a Herniated Disc?

A herniated disc can cause more than a sore back. It can create stiffness, numbness and tingling in extremities, and it can result in a change of lifestyle. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we are committed to helping our patients understand their conditions and then helping them to get back to a healthy life.

To understand what disc herniation is, it will first help to know what a spinal disc is. Spinal discs are between all the individual vertebrae in the spine. They are a rubbery, disc-shaped cushion that has a softer center. These cushions absorb shock and allow the spine to be flexible.  A herniated disc is when some of that softer part pushes through a small tear in the tougher, rubbery outer layer. When the herniated material presses up against a nerve, that is when problems begin to arise.

A herniated disc can cause pain to the area where it is and it can cause pain, numbness, and weakness to the area of the body that the nearby nerve is traveling to. For example, a herniated disc in the lower back can cause sciatic nerve pain that shoots down the leg. The symptoms of a herniated disc can range from nothing at all to severe.  It is important to find out the cause of any pain, numbness, or weakness to find out if the condition could be dangerous or not.

If you are experiencing back pain or numbness and tingling to the extremities, be sure to seek medical attention to rule out a life-threatening condition. Then, make an appointment with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA so we can help you get back to feeling good.

The Benefits of Unplugging

Unplugging is a word being thrown around a lot lately meaning disconnecting from technology. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we want patients to know the benefits of stepping away from the computer and putting the phone down.

As it turns out, there are many benefits to putting down technology. When you “unplug” it could be for the night after work, for a whole day, or even a week or longer. People can set their own limits on how long they want to stay unplugged.

Sleep The light emitted from the screens we look at all day can actually disrupt your sleeping patterns. Unplugging may help you get a more restful sleep.

Improved Mood The constant connection to the world through technology can leave people feeling jaded, jealous, and lonely. These aren’t very good feelings coming from something that is supposed to make us feel connected. Unplugging can help you connect with the world around you and improve your mood.

Improved Memory Unplugging lets your brain rest and reset, helping you with your memory. Plus, you will have much more time to focus on tasks, hobbies, and new experiences if you choose.

Uninterrupted Tasks When you do not have your phone at hand buzzing and beeping, distracting you from what you are doing, you can complete tasks much quicker with much more focus.

Less Stress People that bring their work home with them by answering emails and phone calls never let their brain take a break from work. Unplugging and leaving work at work will let you relax, unwind, and de-stress.

Next time you notice you are glued to your smartphone, keep these benefits in mind and choose to unplug! To learn more about Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, call us at (415) 721-7520 or visit our website, www.summitchiro.net.

Tips to Keep Your Back Safe During Yard Work

Summertime is a common time to do some work around the yard. While this is a great way to connect with the outdoors and get active, there are also some safety tips you should keep in mind for a healthy back. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we want you to stay safe while working on your lawn and gardens.

• Stop working when you know your back has had enough. Even scheduling small breaks in your day can help keep you from being overworked.


• Know how much you can lift. Use proper lifting techniques and do not attempt to lift, push, or pull something that you know is too heavy for you. In addition, never twist your body while lifting anything. Wait until you are fully upright to turn. Turn with your knees not from your back or hips.


• Find ways to make tasks easier on yourself. Bring your projects up to your level so you do not have to crouch or hunch over them. Working off of a workbench or table can help.  Another tip is watering the soil to make any digging or pulling weeds easier.


• Utilize garden tools that exist to make your job easier. Some of these helpful tools include kneeling pads, equipment straps, and spades.

Yard work can be tough on the back, but the finished product is rewarding. Just remember to be good to your back and your back will be good to you!

The Danger of Flip Flops

Flip flops are a common shoe to slip on during warmer weather. However, it can really wreak havoc on the body if they are worn for long periods of time. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we want our patients to understand that good spine health starts from the ground up.

Flip-flops are one of the least supportive shoes out there. Walking on a thin, flat shoe all day can lead to overuse of the toes, abnormal stress on the foot, tendinitis, and plantar fasciitis. Because the shoe gives so little support, the toes have to grip the flip-flop to stay in the shoe. Overuse can lead to tendonitis in the toes and the Achilles’ tendon. Overuse and also lack of support can cause plantar fasciitis and over-pronation, which means the arch flattens out. Pain, irritation, and a flattened arch can lead to walking differently, which can lead to pain up your legs to your hips, back, and neck.

It is best to wear supportive shoes, however, if you still desire to wear flip flops, make sure they have arch support and a thicker toe strap. Sandals with straps that go across your feet are often more supportive than ones that have the piece in between your big toe and the rest of your toes.

Wearing flip flops now and then like when you are near the pool is okay, but frequent, everyday use can lead to problems. To schedule an appointment with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, call us at (415) 721-7520 or visit our website, www.summitchiro.net.

How Microcurrent Therapy Works

New technology has the benefit of offering more accurate treatments and better patient outcomes. Here at Summit Chiropractic Health and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, one of the ways we utilize new technology is with microcurrent therapy.

Our bodies have natural electrical currents that help our cells communicate. When an area of the body is injured or when there is disease present, the cells cannot communicate as well, which leads to slowed healing time.

Microcurrent therapy is the process of restoring these electrical currents (it acts like a catalyst in jump starting the electrical system of the body). Electrodes are placed onto the skin over the affected area. When the machine is turned on, tiny microcurrents are passed through the skin and into the soft tissue that is in pain or injured. The electrical currents are so small that patients usually do not feel them. Restoring the electrical currents will allow cells to communicate so they can heal more quickly. In addition, microcurrent therapy can also reduce pain, reduce inflammation, and restore range of motion.

Patients with acute or chronic pain can receive benefits from microcurrent therapy. If you are tired of feeling pain or want to see what microcurrent therapy could do for you, be sure to contact us.

What Weakens Your Immune System?

Our immune systems what keep us well and fight against things that could compromise our health. It’s an important body system to keep in good shape. At Summit Chiropractic andLongevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we strive to help our patients live long, happy, and healthy lives thru a proper functioning nervous system included in the 5 step health formula. Watch out for some of these things that will weaken your immune system.

Not Enough Sleep

 

Sleep is our body’s way of repairing itself and rebuilding healthy systems to carry us through the next day. If you are not sleeping for long enough or are not getting deep, undisturbed, restful sleep, you could be weakening your immune system! Most adults need between seven and nine hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Not Enough Water

 

Water keeps our body system running at peak functionality. Water is the magic electrolyte that aids in the function of our nervous system Water flushes out toxins that can harm us, get us sick, or weaken our immune system. On average, women should be getting nine cups of water in per day and men should be getting in thirteen. Even if you don’t have thirst consuming water is vital to keep the battery at peak charge.

Processed Food and Chemicals

 

Pesticides, preservatives, and the chemicals in non-stick cookware can also weaken the immune system. Choose organic fruits and veggies, foods without preservatives, and use stainless steel cookware.

These immune system suppressors may be surprising, but avoiding them plus leading a healthy lifestyle can help keep your immune system strong and active. Chiropractic care can help, too by allowing your body to function at maximum potential. To schedule a consultation with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, call our office at (415) 721-7520 or visit our website, www.summitchiro.net. 

Motivation Tips for Getting Active

Exercise is good for your whole body and your mind. We know it can be difficult to get going, though. Need some motivation? Take some of our tips for getting up and at it. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we believe an active lifestyle is part of a healthy lifestyle.

Visualize It (See it in your minds eye)

Set yourself up for the exercise mentality by creating visual reminders and motivators. Place a list of your favorite workouts on your kitchen bulletin board. Write your plans for your next bike ride on your calendar. Jot down a few fitness goals and place them on your fridge. Whatever you do, just make a visual, positive reminder that will inspire you to stick with your plans.

Make Time and Just Do it

Many of us make the excuse that we do not have time. This may actually be true, however, you have to make time. Cut small amounts of time out of other parts of your day where you can. The time will add up so you can have that extra half-hour after work or an extra hour on a Saturday.

Involve a Friend

 

Social interaction is very Important :Ask a friend to join a gym with you or go for walks a few times per week. Having someone who can hold you accountable helps make sure you do not cancel plans on yourself. They may appreciate you for the same reason!

Switch Up Your Routine

 

Doing the same workouts every time gets boring and you plateau in your workout gains. If you’re bored, you’re less likely to follow through with your workout schedule. Instead of skipping your next boring workout, change it up! Do something you normally wouldn’t. Go rollerblading. Join a yoga class. Try kickboxing. Then make these switch-ups part of your routine!

Exercise is vital for life. Set yourself up for success with these tips. For more help with healthy living, schedule an appointment with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA by calling (415) 721-7520 or by visiting our website, www.summitchiro.net.

Choosing the Right Pillow

Sleep is a very important part of our overall health. We need it in order for our body systems to rest function properly. Sleep posture is vital for healthy sleep. This is why Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center wants our patients to know how to choose the right pillow for sleeping. The right pillow will ensure your cervical spine stays in line with the rest of your spine.

Choosing the right pillow depends on two things. The first is how you sleep.

Back and Side Sleepers

For those who sleep on their back or their side, thicker pillows are best. You want to be sure that the pillow is supporting your head and your neck. When your spine is in line, your nerves can communicate properly for delivering messages to and from the brain. This way, your body can function properly and repair itself during sleep. In addition, you will not hurt your neck or back by staying in a bad position all night.

Stomach Sleepers

Sleeping on your stomach is actually not recommended. However, there are many people who prefer this position. If you do sleep on your stomach, you want a very thin pillow or no pillow at all. This is so that your neck is not bent up while you are sleeping. As mentioned before, it is important to keep the cervical spine in line with the rest of the spine. It is also smart to place a pillow under your pelvis and stomach area. This helps take stress off the rest of the spine.

The second part of choosing a good pillow involves the actual pillow. You want a pillow that is comfortable, but will not deflate throughout the night. Take a while to test out a pillow or consider buying one with a money-back guarantee; this way you can return it if it is not doing its job.

Why Didn't I Feel Whiplash Right Away?

Whiplash is a common injury from a car accident though many patients do not realize they have the injury until later. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we want our patients to understand how whiplash works and why it is not always felt right away.

Whiplash happens when the spine is thrust forwards and then whipped back quickly. The cervical spine and the surrounding structures can become sprained, strained, or even misplaced. Whiplash is a very common injury to occur during a car accident. While sometimes the pain is felt right away, other times it can show up hours, days, weeks, or months after the accident. Why is this?

When the body goes through the trauma of a car accident, it releases endorphins as a natural painkiller. So, while some injuries may be obvious, like a cut or a broken bone, other injuries like whiplash stay hidden. It can stay hidden until the pain from other injuries is gone or healed.

This is why it is very important for a patient to have a chiropractic exam soon after a car accident. It is especially important to be done before any important decisions are made. We can determine if there is any hidden damage that will need to be corrected. If whiplash is left untreated, it can turn into chronic pain.

If you were recently in a car accident, make sure to schedule an appointment with us for a full examination. To schedule in our San Rafael, CA office, call us at (415) 721-7520 or visit our Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center website, www.summitchiro.net. 

Winter Fun to Stay Active

Chillier weather can often make us stay inside and bundle up on the couch. However, there are still plenty of fun activities that take place both indoors and outdoors. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center in San Rafael, CA, we believe staying active keeps your body and mind healthy. So take some ideas for some winter fun!

Zoos and Parks

Going to the zoo or the park during winter is interesting because you get to see the world more closely in a different season. Animals and plants behave differently in the winter, so just because it's chilly, doesn’t mean there isn’t any fun!

Ski Trips and Sledding

If there is no snow in your area, it could be fun to plan a trip to a location where skiing and sledding are possible. This can definitely be quite the workout; plus you can end the day with a warm cup of hot chocolate!

5Ks

There is certainly no shortage of 5Ks in the winter, even in frigid weather! Many are even winter themed. So lace up your running shoes and challenge yourself in a race! You can try to beat your own time, race a friend, or try for first place! There are also many 5Ks that go towards a good cause.

Cook

If you are tired of being in the cooler weather, try a more relaxed indoor activity like cooking a new meal. You can partner up with a family member or friend to find a new recipe, shop for the ingredients, and get cooking! Cooking is also a great stress-reliever.

Next time the chilly weather has you cooped up, take this list of inspiration and get moving! To learn more about Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center of San Rafael, CA, call us at (415) 721-7520 or visit our website, www.summitchiro.net. 

Sciatica Pain

Sciatica pain can be severe and even debilitating, however, there is treatment. At Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center of San Rafael, CA, we want our patients to be aware of what sciatica is, the different causes, and how it can be treated.

Sciatica pain comes from the sciatic nerve that runs from the lower back, through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg. Pain often radiates from the lower back all the way down the leg in a shooting pain. In the legs, the pain is most often felt in the back of the thigh and calf. The pain can be mild and achy or sharp and excruciating. Often patients feel a burning sensation. Sciatica pain is usually only felt on one side of the body. Symptoms that require immediate medical attention include loss of feeling in the leg, weakness of the leg, and loss of bowel or bladder function.

There are a few likely causes of sciatica pain. Most commonly, it is due to the nerve being pinched by a herniated disc or a bone spur. Occasionally, the pain can be due to nerve damage from another condition.

Sciatica usually resolves within a short amount of time using treatment, like physical therapy. Stretching the area, strengthening the surrounding muscles, and improving posture can relieve pain and keep it from returning. In other cases, steroid injections or surgery is recommended.

If you are experiencing shooting pain from your lower back through your leg, you may be suffering from sciatica pain. To schedule an appointment with Summit Chiropractic and Longevity Center of San Rafael, CA, call us at (415) 721-7520 or visit our website, www.summitchiro.net.
