Remedies for EAR INFECTIONS

Home Remedies for EAR INFECTIONS
Home Remedies For Ear Infections
It is very important to pay attention to ear infection in early stage. You can have inner ear infection or middle ear infection or outer ear infection with different symptoms.
Inflamed Ear
Take Vitamin C to help boost the immune system and fight infection. Zinc reduces ear infection.
Hold your both nostrils closed and blow through your nose until you hear a pop.
Mix 1 tablespoon of milk with 1 tablespoon of olive oil or castor oil, then heat the combination in a non aluminum pan.
Dose: Once the mixture has cooled off, put 4 drops into the inflamed ear every hour and gently plug it up with cotton. Be sure the drops are not too hot.
WARNING : If your ear infection is painful and persistent, get medical attention. You may have a serious condition that needs professional treatment.
Runny Ear Infection You'll need to go to a good, old-fashioned Italian fish store for this remedy. Get the soft, transparent bone from a squid. Bake it until it turns black and crush it into a powder. Taken orally-½ teaspoon before breakfast and another ½ teaspoon before dinner-it is said to help clear up a runny ear infection.
Swimmer's Ear home remedies Soon after swimming, if you've noticed that it hurts when you touch or move your ear, you may have an infection of the ear canal known as "swimmer's ear." These remedies may bring some relief.
Combine 1 drop of grapefruit extract, 1 drop of tea tree oil and 2 drops of olive oil, then put the mixture in your ear. Gently plug your ear with a cotton ball. This should help clear up the infection.
Take a sock, fill it with salt, microwave it until it is warm and tolerable to body. Lay your head on it. This may drain the fluid out.
To prevent infections, add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar to 4 tablespoons (2 ounces) of just-boiled water. Once the liquid is cool, store it in a bottle. Right after swimming, put 2 drops of the vinegar mixture in each ear. Plug each ear with a cotton ball and stay that way for about 10 minutes.
Put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in the ear. Earwax Use drops of warm mineral oil to help loosen wax. Wash the wax out with an ear syringe and warm water. You can use garlic oil also. (Do not do this if you have you suspect a rupture eardrum or ear infection or there is a discharge from the ear.)

Cure for SINUTIS

Home Remedies for SINUSITIS
SINUS fully curable under ayurvedic method
Sinusitis refers to an inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the paranasal sinuses. It often follows a common cold, influenza, and other general infections. Infecting germs sometimes find their way into sinuses or chambers on either side of the nasal passage, leading to sinus trouble.
Sinusitis symptoms
Constant sneezing, headaches and low grade fever
The symptoms of sinusitis are excessive or constant sneezing ; a running nose; blockage of one or both nostrils; headaches and pressure around the head, eyes, and face. Sinus headaches are usually felt in the forehead and in the face just below the eyes.The patient may suffer from low grade fever, lack of appetite, and difficulty in breathing
Sinusitis causes
Inflammation of the sinus passages
Sinusitis results from the inflammation of the sinus passages and oversecretion of mucus by the membranes lining the nose and throat
Home Remedies for Sinusitis
Sinusitis treatment using Mango
The liberal use of mangoes during the season is considered an effective remedy for prevention and treatment of sinusitis. Mangoes contribute towards formation of healthy epithelium, thereby preventing frequent attacks of common infections like sinusitis. This is attributable to a high concentration of vitamin A in the fruit
Sinusitis treatment using Garlic and Onion
The use of pungent foods like garlic and onion is one of the most effective remedies for sinus problems. One should begin with small mild doses and increase them gradually. Beneficial results can also be achieved by adding these herbs in moderate amounts to regular meals
Sinusitis treatment using Fenugreek
The seeds of fenugreek are another effective remedy for sinusitis. A tea prepared by boiling one teaspoon of seeds in 250 ml of water till it is reduced to half, will help the body to produce perspiration, dispel toxicity, and shorten the period of fever in the acute stage of the disease. Upto four cups should be taken daily. The quantity should be reduced as the condition improves
Sinusitis treatment using Cumin Seeds
A teaspoon of black cumin seeds tied in a thin cotton cloth can provide relief when inhaled. The condition can also be relieved by taking a mixture of 100 gm of roasted and ground cumin seeds and 200 gm of pure honey
Sinusitis treatment using Vegetable Juices
Carrot juice, taken separately or in combination with juices of beet and cucumber, or with spinach juice, has been found beneficial in the treatment of sinus trouble. In the case of combined juices, 100 ml each of beet and cucumber juices, or 200 ml of spinach juice, should be mixed with 300ml of carrot juice to make 500 ml or half a litre of the mixed juice
Sinusitis treatment using Vitamins A and C
A diet rich in vitamin A is the best insurance against cold and sinus trouble. Vitamin A is the 'membrane conditioner' and it helps build healthy mucous membranes in the nose and throat. Some of the valuable sources of this vitamin are whole milk, curds, egg yolk, pumpkin, carrots, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, mangoes, and papaya. When the sinus trouble has already developed, relief can be obtained by taking vitamin A in large therapeutic doses of 25,000 IU per day. Vitamin C has also proved beneficial in the treatment of sinusitis and the patient should take one gram of this vitamin per day in two therapeutic doses of 500 mg each
Diet for Sinusitis
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices with water
In the acute stage of the disease, when fever is present, the patient should abstain from all solid foods and drink only fresh fruit and vegetable juices diluted with warm water on a 50:50 basis
Well-balanced diet
After the fever subsides, he may adopt a low-calorie, raw fruit and vegetable diet with plenty of raw juices. Once the acute symptoms are over, the patient may gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on seeds, nuts, grains, vegetables, and fruits. In persistent chronic conditions, repeated short juice fasts may be undertaken for a week or so at intervals of two months
Avoid fried and starchy food
The patient should avoid fried and starchy foods, white sugar, white floor, rice, macaroni products, pies, cakes, and candies
Other Sinusitis treatments
Hot and cold water application
A cold application over the sinus will give great relief, while alternate hot and cold applications also prove beneficial. Take pans of hot and cold water, bathe the whole face with hot water as hot as you can bear-and then apply cold water for a short duration
Inhalation of steam, proper sleep and adequate rest
Nasal inhalation of steam for five minutes every hour will also give relief. Plenty of sleep, adequate rest, and fresh air are essential in the treatment of sinus trouble
Avoid perfumes and scented hair oil
Patient should avoid the use of perfumes and strongly scented hair oil

Remedies for Throat Infection

Home Remedies for DROOLING ---THROAT OBSTRUCTION
DROOLING DURING SLEEP / THROAT OBSTRUCTION
Drooling during sleep may occur for a variety of reasons such as posture and illness. Most of which can be controlled with minor treatment. While sleeping you salivate.
Though the amount is less than how you salivate during the day, you also do not swallow as much. The frequency slows during the night. You are more apt to drool if you breathe through your mouth while asleep. This will also increase the likelihood of snoring and the sleep of others could also be disturbed. It does not become a severe problem unless it is excessive. Drooling can be bothersome, disturbing your rest during the night. Sleeping on a wet pillowcase can be irritating.
While there is no cure, there are drugs available to help reduce the way you salivate. Cures for ailments that may contribute are also available. Drool can be uncomfortable and sleeping during rest periods disturbed. If asleep and you feel moisture on your pillowcase, often changing it will help and allow you to rest more comfortably. When asleep after getting drunk, there is a much greater risk for drooling. If you drool during sleep there is no need to worry. This disorder is only inconvenient and does not pose more serious problems.
A throat obstruction or choking on a fish or chicken bone can turn a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience to a painful one instantly. Throat obstruction leads to breathlessness because the trachea is blocked, constricted, or swollen shut. This is one such malady that requires an instant remedy to eliminate the pain in the throat as soon as possible. Home remedies are the first to be tried until medical intervention becomes a necessity. Such situations may be rare but it is important to know some helpful and handy hints one can use to relieve a throat obstruction.
Signs and symptoms that indicate a throat obstruction
Here are some signs and symptoms that indicate a throat obstruction: Gagging High-pitched breathingDifficulty and pain while swallowingVomitingSudden avoidance of solid foodsIncreased droolingPain in the neck, chest or abdomenInability to speakBluish or purple face color due to lack of oxygen
Food eating habits
There are three reasons why people choke. These are:Mechanical obstruction Tissue swelling Crushing of the tracheaThese key causes that lead to a throat obstruction are caused by certain food eating habits that are best avoided. These include: Eating too fast. Swallowing food instead of chewing the food. Eating food despite intoxication by alcohol Eating food in an unconscious state by inhaling certain materials
Root of Clematis
Home remedies are first sought because of the immediate need to be cured when the throat obstruction becomes painful. Here is a comprehensive list of home remedies that can be tried in case of a throat obstruction: Break an egg into a teacup and swallow it whole. It is said that this removes the most difficult obstructions. Clear the throat by drinking liquids or swallowing bread. This may take approximately 30 to 60 minutes to work. If it does not work try other options or consult your doctor. If the throat obstruction is caused by a fish bone stuck in the throat, one can try swallowing a lump of boiled rice. The rice is sticky and adheres to the fish bone. The added weight on the bone helps to dislodge it from the throat and it goes into the stomach where it is eventually digested. If rice is not available one can try swallowing bread. This will also have the same effect. If a larger sized chicken or fish bone is the cause of throat obstruction then gargling with some vinegar is the best alternative. The vinegar helps soften the bone slowly. The bone can then be removed by swallowing rice or bread. The action of vinegar may take some time but it will eventually soften the bone. Another alternative is the “Root of Clematis”. This is a pale brownish-yellow colored herb which can be obtained from the nearest herbalist. Decoct this herb with vinegar and brown sugar and sip the decoction slowly while it is hot. This helps dislodging the bone and also provides relief from the irritation that is caused in the throat. One can also try the Heimlich maneuver. Stand behind the person and wrap your arms around his/her waist. Make a fist with one hand and place the thumb side of the fist just above the person’s navel, well below the breastbone. Grasp the fist with the other hand and make a quick, upward and inward thrust with your fist. Continue this till the object is removed. This procedure rapidly compresses the lungs and causes the food particle to be expelled. For obese or pregnant people, wrap the arms around the person’s chest. Place the fist on the middle of the breastbone and make firm backwards thrusts. Another simple method is to grasp the persons tongue and pull it forward and at the same time try and hook the bone with the finger. Do ensure that the hands are clean before performing this maneuver and wash the hands immediately afterwards as well.
Take plenty of liquid diet
It is advisable to take precautions when eating foods which could provide obstruction to the throat such as fish and meat. It is likely that sharp bones could cause obstruction in the throat. The suggested diet incase of throat obstruction would ideally be plenty of liquids to clear the throat or lumps of rice or bread that will help remove the obstruction.
Some suggestions for throat obstruction
Have every meal with an approach to taste the food and enjoy the dining experience. It is advisable to avoid eating in haste, which give rise to problems such as throat obstruction and indigestion.

Remedy for BELLY FAT

Home Remedies to GET RID OF BELLY FAT
What is that thing that’s been growing around your mid-section since you started college? Is it a beer belly? Is it belly fat? Is it tummy fat? Is it a gut or a beer gut? There are so many names for the fat at builds up around our stomachs, is it any wonder why it’s become a national obsession? But don’t misperceive our obsession with fat as war on fat.
A little body fat is actually good for you. It keeps you warm and helps your body maintain a sufficient core temperature and nutrients when we get sick and can’t eat. Personally, I like the little tummy I have, and I’d rather it stay that way—little. So, I’ve started working out. Evidence is starting to prove the theory that lifting weights (anaerobic exercise, or weight training) and using the Stair Master (aerobic exercise) will help you get rid of that extra weight around your midsection. A healthy diet is also a good idea.
So, I’ve summarized here a list of things you should take into consideration if you’re serious about losing that tummy:
The Best Way to Lose Belly Fat
Reducing the amount of calories you consume is the most effective way to get rid of belly fat.

Really, when it comes down to it, losing any kind of fat, no matter where it is on your body, requires you to consume less calories than you body needs. This lack of calories will set into motion the processing of excess body fat to make up for the lack of calories. But don’t go all crazy about it. Starving your body of calories is only good to a certain extent, after a point you begin to do damage to important things, like your central nervous system.
There’s a reason they call it a “beer belly,” and drinking less beer, or quitting drinking altogether, will help you lose belly fat.
No matter who (or how good looking) the drinker is, beer is bad for a number of reasons. The most obvious reason is the caloric content of beer. The less obvious reasons are the inflammation of the pancreas and liver, and the bloating that often accompany the over-consumption of alcoholic beverages; this includes alcohol mixed with sweet, sugary liquids like soda.
Consuming less food loaded with sugar will help you to lose tummy fat.
Sugar is a big one. The sugar found in junk food and soda is the kind of sugar that burns quickly, unlike those sugars found in fruits and vegetables, which burn more slowly. If your body is processing sugar to create energy, and you’re not using any energy, those sugars will be converted into fat for later use. If you’re going to enjoy sweets, enjoy them right before you use the Stair Master.
There’s nothing wrong with strengthening your abdominal muscles, but it won’t get rid of belly fat like magic.
You may want to consider not only working out your abs, but also working out your shoulders, pectorals, back, and arms to help create a more shapely “V” figure, which will help reduce the appearance of your belly. Keep this in mind: bulking up your muscles requires fewer reps (about 8) and fewer sets with greater weight. Building leaner muscle requires more reps, more sets, and less weight.
Daily exercise and walking will definitely get rid of belly fat.
Going for a walk after a big meal or enjoying a dessert is never a bad idea. When Natasha and I were in Europe, we ate our fair share of delicacies, but we didn’t gain a single pound—in fact, we actually lost weight—because we walked everywhere. We walked from the train station to our hotel, and from our hotel to the restaurant, and from the restaurant to the museums, and from the museums to the…well, you get my point.
· A calorie restrictive diet, which requires you to eat no less than 10x and no more than 15x your LEAN bodyweight in calories.
· Regular cardiovascular activity for at least 30-45 minutes 3-4 times per week. Some recommend a moderate pace while other recommend a vigorous pace -- it doesn't really matter as long as you are exercising.
· Weight training.
· Supplementing your diet with vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Vitamin C, L-glutamine, and a good multi vitamin are the bare essentials.· Adequate dietary fat, including high amounts of Essential Fatty Acids

Home Remedies for HANGOVERS
HANGOVERS

What is a hangover?A hangover, medically known as veisalgia, is caused due to the consumption of large amounts of alcohol or some other drug. Hangover is most commonly associated with the after-effects of large consumption of alcohol. This article summarizes the cures and remedies available for alcohol hangovers.
Hangovers are caused by drinking too much ALCOHOL at one time, and are dependent on each person’s tolerance level for alcohol. It can be based on height, weight, and the genetics of a person. Hangover symptoms last only about 24 hours.
The main symptom of a hangover is dehydration and drinking plenty of water can minimize. A headache is a symptom of dehydration and may be relieved by drinking water. Drinking too much alcohol decreases the essential nutrients of the body such as vitamins, minerals, water, and blood sugar.
Some of the important symptoms of hangover are headache, nausea, intestinal upset, and perhaps diarrhea, aches in the muscles and joints, and fatigue. Some alcohol is worse than others - Brandy, red wine, rum, whisky, white wine, gin and vodka
Some alcoholics drink more or less steadily, others drink only when under stress or anxiety. Some drink in excess and destroy themselves rapidly. Alcohol often destroys the liver, causing hepatic cirrhosis. It produces gastritis or inflammation of the stomach. Their effect upon the brain is even more marked. Alcohol makes the heart weak and flabby. Some alcoholics may develop the symptoms of peripheral neuritis in which the nerves become weakened and deteriorated. Alcohol in any form may cause intoxication if enough has been taken. It is responsible for many deaths. The alcoholic who is dead drunk can be allowed to sleep off his stupor. This may one or two days. But the man who is half drunk is often violent, and may not be restrained. Young people should avoid the use of alcohol in any form. Many people suffer from a severe headache due to hangover after taking large quantities of alcohol. Alcohol is toxic to the tissues and directly irritates the meninges and coverings of the brain, thus causing pain in the head. The alcohol also dilates the arteries in the brain, and this produces a pain. The best treatment for this type of headache is to avoid the excessive use of alcohol in any form.

Putting anything in the stomach prior to indulging in alcohol helps prevent a hangover.
Never skip breakfast, especially when hangover. The classic eggs and toast is the best breakfast.
Suggestions to avoid hangovers
Never drink on an empty stomach. Food helps to absorb some of the alcohol and aids the body in digesting it faster. Try to eat starchy foods to slow down the alcohol absorption. Limit yourself to less than 1 drink per hour. Try to alternate your alcoholic drinks with nonalcoholic beverages such as water Stick to non-carbonated drinks as carbonation can speed up the alcohol absorption. Try to avoid sweet drinks (and sugary foods) while you drink. The sweet taste of the drink can make it difficult for you to judge how much alcohol you’re actually consuming.

Home Remedies for CONTINUOUS SNEEZING

CONTINUOUS SNEEZING

Contiunuous sneezing is mostly a sign of an allergical reaction against some things. Most people have it in summer when the weather is hot and the air is not good because of to many tussocks which gives you a continuous sneezing.
Continuous sneezing has nothing to do with a bacteria or a virus and so any antibiotica will helps.
If you suffer on continuous sneezing you first have to find out on what you are allergical from and then you can take some medicaments or homeopathic products which gives you a comfortable life.
But of course they are also some other remedies you can do and it is better for your health. Use a washing-glove and do it against your face many times a day. Drink a lot of water.
Continuous sneezing can be a sign of hay fever. You can't cure it but you can take some preventions to have a comfortable life. Eye-drops for dry eyes is also very good because mostly if you are continuous sneezing dry eyes is mostly a problem too.
SNEEZING
Don't feel dopey and try not to be grumpy if you achoo on cue. You're just sneezy, so there's nothing to be bashful about. Without dwarfing the size of the problem, you should be happy to know that within limits, you can be your own doc in stopping those noisy nose fits.

"A sneeze is usually a response to an allergic nasal irritant," says Howard J. Silk, M.D., a physician at the Atlanta Allergy Clinic and assistant professor of pediatrics at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. "And you must always guard against common household allergens such as dust, mold, mildew, pets and dust mites."
But don't hold your breath--literally or figuratively. After taking all cleaning and allergic precautions, "don't expect miracles right away," Dr. Silk, says. "It could take six months to significantly reduce all the allergic materials in your house." Start with patience, and add the following actions.
Muffle your mattress. Beds often harbor mites that feed on dead skin cells, Dr. Silk says. Sheathe mattresses and box springs in an airtight noncotton cover, then wash the sheets regularly in water at least 130°F. That temperature is hot enough to kill the microscopic monsters that cause so many sneezes.
Down with down. Though comfortable and natural, down pillows have a big minus: They hold dust and mites, Dr. Silk says. Instead, choose a washable, hypoallergenic polyester pillow. Wash it every few weeks, again in water hot enough to kill any mites that might pervade the polyester.
Stuff the stuffed animals. They're cute and cuddly, but stuffed animals and, dolls collect dust and dust mites. To safeguard your sneezing snout, Dr. Silk says, you may have to give your teddy bear to the family archivist. It doesn't belong in your room anymore.
Don't get your pet's dander up. People who have allergic reactions to dogs or cats are usually reacting to dander, the small flakes and scales of the animal's skin, according to Dr. Silk. Cat saliva and urine can also be allergens. "If you're allergic to pets, don't keep them," says Dr. Silk. "If you have them and don't want to get rid of them, keep them outside or at least out of the bedroom."
Always wash your hands immediately after petting any cat or dog, he recommends, and bathe your pet once a week.
Be pro-antihistamine. "If the sneezing spell is short and seasonal, people can try an over-the-counter antihistamine to see if it provides some relief," says Horst R. Konrad, M.D., chairman of the Division of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine in Springfield. Topical nasal sprays containing cortisone are the most effective medicine for reining in sneezing fits and allergies, according to Dr. Konrad. But these are available only by prescription.
Let the grass grow. If plants send your sneeze control haywire, limit your time outside. "Don't mow the lawn," Dr. Konrad says. "Talk someone else into doing it." And keep the windows closed when the grass flies.
Don't make a move. You may think relocation is the answer to your allergies, but there are always going to be allergens, no matter where you move. "Obviously, it's hard to avoid spring," says Mark Loury, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital in Baltimore. "In the spring, it's tree pollen. In summer and early autumn, sagebrush and tumbleweed pollinate throughout the western United States. In the fall, regardless of location, ragweed and molds are just about everywhere." Dust, of course, is unavoidable year-round, no matter where you live

Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea ?
Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person’s breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times.
There are two types of sleep apnea:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA): The more common of the two forms of apnea, it is caused by a blockage of the airway, usually when the soft tissue in the back of the throat collapses during sleep.
Central sleep apnea: Unlike OSA, the airway is not blocked but the brain fails to signal the muscles to breathe due to instability in the respiratory control center.
Am I at Risk for Sleep Apnea?
Sleep apnea can affect anyone at any age, even children. However, risk factors for this sleep problem include:
Male gender
Being overweight
Being over the age of forty
Having a large neck size (17 inches or greater in men and 16 inches or greater in women)
Having larger tonsils
Having a family history of sleep apnea
What Are the Effects of Sleep Apnea?
If left untreated, sleep apnea can result in a growing number of health problems including:
Hypertension
Stroke
Heart failure, irregular heart beats, and heart attacks In addition, untreated sleep apnea may be responsible for poor performance in everyday activities, such as at work and school, motor vehicle crashes, as well as academic underachievement in children and adolescents.

Home remedies for SCIATICA

What is Sciatica?
Technically speaking, sciatica is a symptom not a diagnosis It is a non-specific term commonly used to describe symptoms of pain radiating downward from the buttock over the posterior or lateral side of the lower limb. It is usually assumed to be caused by compression of a nerve but this is not necessarily so.


A common neurological cause of this pain is entrapment of the sciatic and/or posterior femoral coetaneous nerves. But the pain may be caused by trigger points in the soft tissue. This latter case is easily overlooked and requires manual palpation of the musculature associated with the hip if the pain is not to be misdiagnosed.

Background

It is often assumed that there is sciatic nerve root entrapment, resulting in the compression of the nerve. Pain and symptoms being transmitted or referred from the low back to one of the buttocks and down the back of the leg along the pathway of the sciatic nerve. Hence the term sciatica.
The exact cause of sciatica is not fully understood but is commonly thought to involve a slipped or herniated disk. This means one of the disks, which lie between each of the vertebra in the lower back (lumbar area), has cracked and allowed some of the inner disk material to protrude out, putting pressure on the adjacent nerve root, which in this case is the sciatic nerve. The term 'lumbago' is often banded about as well which is a general term for low back pain. However, some people have been found to have a slipped disk but have no pain.

Sciatica Symptoms

Symptoms can vary from extreme pain in the low back radiating into one buttock and down the leg. Pain often increases on exertion or bending forward. Alternatively, there may only be a mild sensation in the leg or buttock. There may be numbness in the area, weakness in the leg and diminution of the reflexes. Pain may be triggered by coughing or straining and can be so severe that the lower back becomes locked in sideways bending position (scoliosis) caused by a strong contraction.


Alternatively, it may only come on when sitting or standing in a certain position. Clinical experience indicates that these certain positions are usually associated with continually holding a poor posture either at home or at work. For example, protruding the head forward peering at a computer all day or regularly lifting a baby out of the back of the car. But some or all of these symptoms are also associated with other conditions which is probably why the name is often misused as a catchall word for any pain affecting the buttocks or other parts of the leg. In this case the pain is triggered by a local trapping (trigger point) or straining of the nerve along its pathway.

Piraformis Syndrome Symptoms

May be a mixture of seemingly unrelated symptoms. Pain and paresthsias (pins and needles) may be apparent in one or more of these areas: the low back, groin, perineum, buttock, hip, back of the thigh, leg and foot or the SI joint. Swelling can occur in the painful leg and sexual dysfunction can occur. The condition can be aggravated by sitting, getting up, or standing. Conversely, activity can worsen the symptoms. It can also cause the buttock muscles to atrophy. Numbness of the foot and loss of position sense (proprioception) can lead to an unstable walk.

Activation
Piraformis syndrome can be activated in numerous seemingly different ways. For example, long drives in the car result in the accelerator foot being flexed for long periods, resulting in the tightening of the piraformis muscle. Lifting or lowering of a heavy weight, catching oneself from falling, twisting sideways while bending or lifting a weight such as a baby out of the back of the car. Direct trauma such as hitting the muscle itself or impact caused by a car accident particularly when the impact is from the side. Morton's foot (second toe is longer than the big toe) can initiate the syndrome after a long walk. This is because the condition tends to cause medial rotation and adduction (inward movement) of the thigh, which puts a strain on the piraformis

The Best Treatment For Acute Back Pain

The Best Treatment For Acute Back Pain
Do you know what it's like to have a sudden, sharp pain in your back
that you know is going to lead to several days of terrible pain and stiffness?
I am very familiar with this scenario from my own experiences with back pain and from my work as a chiropractor for many years. If you know what this feels like, then you might find what I have to say next to be surprising. The best thing that you can do for yourself as soon as you feel that familiar spasm or pull in your back muscles is the following: Nothing. No matter what you are doing - shovelling snow, carrying groceries, painting, laundry, or exercising - stop immediately and lay down on the closest comfortable surface.

You want to lay down with your knees bent up so that your feet are flat on the floor, or so that your calves are resting on several pillows or on a chair. As you lay down, try to relax all of your muscles, especially the ones in your back. You can facilitate effective relaxation by taking slow,deep breaths from your tummy. Depending on how badly you have pulled your muscles or ligaments, you can lay like this for 15 minutes or 1 hour.

When you feel very relaxed, try to get up slowly, turning on your side and using your arms to help lift your upper body off the ground. Be sure to use your thigh muscles to stand up. If you feel any pain as you try to stand up, lay down again and relax some more. Following this recommendation will significantly decrease the severity of your injury, and will have you back to normal much sooner than if you had continued on with your activities. Here's why... The first moment that you experience sharp pain in your back is a signal that a muscle or ligament has been stressed beyond its natural capacity. From that moment on, if the muscle or ligament in question is still being asked to work, your body will create inflammation in that area,
which brings pain, stiffness, and swelling. Why does your body do this?

Because pain, stiffness, and swelling are parts of a protective response that your body uses to get you to rest that area until it heals. Can you see why popping a pain killer in this situation is not in your best interest?

If you numb yourself to pain, then you'll probably continue being active, not giving your injured tissues a chance to rest and recover. This is a great way to worsen your injury and prolong your suffering. And let's not forget the negative side effects that pain killers have on your stomach, liver and kidneys. At the first sign of sharp pain in their backs, many people choose to continue working, finding that if they stay active and warm, they don't stiffen up and they are able to remain functional for a few hours or the rest of the day.

Continuing to be active after the initial injury causes your body to produce natural pain killers like endorphins, which gives you the illusion that you are fine.

The problem with this is that while you are not feeling much discomfort, your injured tissues are continuously being stressed, which will increase your pain and stiffness later on that day or the next morning. By laying down at the first twinge of back pain, you will minimize damage to your injured tissues. You will also minimize inflammation, which will lead to less pain and stiffness.

Sometimes, if the injury isn't too severe and you are able to lay down right away, you might be totally fine as soon as you stand up. Following this recommendation can mean the difference between having back pain for one hour or for one week. Please try it the next time you feel that awful pull or twinge in your back. Note: some people make a trip to a physical therapist, chiropractor, or massage therapist right after injuring their backs.

Unless your injury is causing you to lose control over your urine flow and bowel movements, I highly recommend that you first try my suggestion. Why? Think about all of the stress that your back faces in going for treatment. You have to get into your car, make the drive to the office, get out of the car, sit in the waiting room, get up onto the treatment table, and all of the above in reverse.

Believe me, in most cases, it is far more beneficial to lay down on your living room floor for an hour than to put your back through all of these steps. And your floor is free. If you still have pain or stiffness after resting right after your injury and do not experience gradual improvement over the next few days, that might be a good time to visit a practitioner who can provide treatment that will hopefully help your injured tissues heal properly.

What All People With Chronic Low Back Pain Need to TryDo you know anyone who suffers from chronic low back pain? As simple as it seems, many people with chronic low back pain can improve and even fully heal their backs by doing one simple thing: stretching their hamstrings.

Your hamstrings are the muscles that run along the back of your thighs, from behind your knees to the bottom of your pelvis. If your hamstrings are tight, they are causing a constant downward pull on your pelvis.

Since your pelvis is the foundation of your lower back and spine, having tight hamstrings contributes to an unstable lower back and a greater chance of intermittent sprains and strains.

In my chiropractic practice, I estimate that at least 80 percent of people who present to me with chronic lower back pain have tight hamstrings as the root of their problem.

Even if these people have their lower backs treated on a regular basis, they will continue to suffer from intermittent lower back pain if they do not address their hamstring tightness.

How do you know if your hamstrings are tight? The best way to assess hamstring length is to lie flat on your back and have someone slowly raise one leg.

Your leg must be completely relaxed, and you must not help lift the leg with your own muscles. If your hamstrings are at an appropriate length for your body, your leg can be raised to 90 degrees off the ground without any significant tightness anywhere along your hamstrings from behind your knee to your sitting bone (pelvis). If you start to feel tightness before 90 degrees, you know it's time to stretch!

A simple and effective way to stretch your hamstrings is to sit in a hurdler's stretch – with one leg tucked behind your bum, and one leg flat on the ground, outstretched in front of you - and to lean forward slightly until you feel a stretch anywhere along the back of your thigh or knee. An alternative is shown in this picture, where your resting leg is tucked in with the foot resting on the inner thigh of the leg being stretched.

It is important to keep your back straight, and to only go to a point where you feel a comfortable stretch. If you experience pain, ease back until you are comfortable. Some people find that slinging a towel around their outstretched foot and holding onto both ends with their hands is more comfortable than bending forward without a towel.

Be sure to breathe while you stretch, and to do the same stretch for your other leg. It is best to stretch your hamstrings later on in the day, or after a good warm up such as after a brisk walk or jog. The key is to get lots of blood going through your muscles before you stretch. Alternating between legs for a few minutes each day is enough for most people.

Many people with chronic lower back pain can experience dramatic improvement after stretching
their hamstrings on a daily basis for 1-3 months. If you don't have lower back problems,
stretching your hamstrings everyday is an excellent preventive measure that will keep your lower back and pelvis balanced for the years ahead.
