LED Technologies DPL FLEX System Review

October 14, 2013 By Steven Kirchhof

We have been experimented with the new DPL Flex system for about a month now, and so far the results have been very positive. Using light therapy for pain relief is nothing new, but having a powerful unit such as the Flex configured so the user may wear it is pretty ground breaking. Note that it does still plug into an outlet, so you cannot where it “out”. However, it is far easier to use the Flex on areas of the body that need relief from pain or soreness than with their full sized DPL system

Watch the video below for more information about the system, and be sure to click below for a more detailed description.

Therion Magnetic Therapy Review and Overview

May 7, 2013 By Steven Kirchhof

We have thousands of friends and customers who swear by magnetic therapy. In the video, I discuss the difference between magnetic therapy and magnetic jewelry. Also, I highlight the benefits of the Therion line of pain relief products.

There’s a lot of causes of pain in your joints or in your muscle tissues or what have you. I just want to do a really quick overview and talk a little bit about magnetic therapy. There’s really two types of magnetic technologies that are used to address pain. The first one I call magnetic jewelry, and you see it’s relatively inexpensive, although there are some very expensive magnetic bracelets and that sort of thing. Typically, it’s a steel magnetic bracelet that will fit around your wrist with two magnets on it and that’s to address the old carpal tunnel or sore wrists, even in the hand areas, what it’s claimed to do.

Then, there’s magnetic therapy. I want to talk more about magnet therapy. The feeling really is, is that with the magnetic jewelry, it really does not have enough power to penetrate into the areas of your body where you really need help with pain. Also, those are fairly limited in that they really only fit your wrist. Let’s talk a little bit about magnetic therapy, specifically Therion magnetic therapy. This is a made in the United States product. Really the gold standard of magnetic therapy in the fabric that they use, in the magnets that they use, etc. I have a few of these, a few examples that I pulled out to show you today.

With their platinum line, for example, this is a platinum knee brace. With the platinum line of Therion magnetics, they are using 13,800 Gauss neodymium magnets. That’s opposed to magnets you’d find in a craft store or something like that with a very weak field. These actually penetrate, have an effective penetration of eight inches. Now, you will see other products out there that talk about penetration. A lot of times they’re talking about the maximum or how far away the magnetic field can actually be felt. This is eight inches of effective going through the bone and muscle in your body.

Great example here, is opposed to using a magnetic jewelry, is a magnetic wrist brace; great for carpal tunnel, great for wrist pain. If you’re typing for too long on the computer, it’s fantastic for that. I threw this on this morning just to demonstrate how it’s on here.

I’ll wear one of these, if I’m working at the computer for too long. I’ll get some pain in one of my wrists. This is one of their larger products, the knee brace. This, I think the size is a large. Fourteen high powered, high quality magnetics strategically located and very high strength Velcro that will wrap around and serve as brace as well as providing magnetic therapy. Rather than just having a brace on your knee, you’re also getting the benefits of magnetic therapy.

I have friends and family members with knee pain. Fortunately, it’s not an affliction in myself, but a lot of them have gone for cortisone shots. That seems to work fine for a year or two, and then the cortisone shots just don’t seem to have any affect. Many of those folks that I know have just transferred over to a Therion type product. They’ve really got fantastic, actually surprising, results out of the Therion magnetic braces. Another differentiator about Therion versus some of the imported, I would say inferior brands, in magnetic therapy. The Therion braces and supports are made with a fabric that they actually patented. This fabric allows it to breathe, very, very comfortable against the skin.

You’re able to wear this, whether it’s a knee brace or back brace, something for your wrist, something for your collar, something for your upper arm or elbow. You’re able to wear that throughout your normal day. You’re able to do activities that you are usually able to do, because of the comfort of the fabric. There you go. We have a lot more information at BetterHealthInnovations.com. I really encourage you to take a look at the entire Therion product line, knee braces, insoles. There are magnetic technology and memory elbow braces, back braces, etc. Have a look at BetterHealthInnovations.com. There is a link down in the description below. As always, everybody have a great day.

Exercise for Osteoarthritis Sufferers

August 22, 2012 By TalarMade

Osteoarthritis is a common degenerative condition caused by wear and tear to the cartilage in the joints. It most frequently affects the older population with worldwide estimates stating that about 9.6% of men and 18.0% of women aged over 60 years suffer from the condition.

About 80% of those affected will experience some limitation of movement. Sufferers will frequently give up activities that they had previously enjoyed, to adopt increasingly sedentary lifestyles. However with careful management, regular, gentle exercise can be extremely beneficial to Osteoarthritis sufferers. [Read more…]

Top 3 Ergonomic Corrections to Avoid a Chiropractor

July 6, 2011 By Angela

Over the past decade I have had the privilege of being a chiropractor in Seattle, WA. In this time I have had the privilege to truly understand the pain, discomfort, and poor health that many people go through on a daily basis. This has led many on a path of health professionals, pain killers, and surgical consultations. By the time they enter a chiropractors office they are often at their wits end, and have lost all hope.

The truly astonishing part is that many patients have a few issues in common, and in my experience they relate to a poor ergonomic environment at home or work. I am sure we are all familiar with workplace ergonomics, and the importance of having an ideal workstation to reduce the stress on our bodies. However, I thought it would be an excellent idea to tell you the 3 most common corrections that a person can make so they can end up seeing a chiropractor for superior wellness care and not urgent care.

The following are the top 3 ergonomic corrections to avoid seeing a chiropractor:

Correct the height of your screen

This seems like a no-brainer, but everyday I see people coming in with acute and chronic neck pain that is caused by screen that is at the improper height or angle. By now, most companies have attempted to correct this issue, since we have been hearing about it since the mid 1990’s, but there is one caveat.

We now spend so much time on laptops, iPad’s, and smart phones that we haven’t stopped to consider the damage this is doing to our posture. This in turn has caused a major increase in the loss of a natural cervical curve which can be directly related to acute and chronic pain, as well as degenerative joint disease. That is not something anyone wants.

It is important to pay attention to the amount of time spent looking down towards a screen, and choosing to either cut back the time spent, or allocate time during the day to get adjusted and doing traction therapy to help balance the muscles and ligaments.

One seat does not fit all

One of the biggest misconceptions about a quality, often time expensive, chair is that they should help everyone the same way. Nothing could be further from the truth. In my professional experience consulting for companies and offices around Seattle, the chair should be chosen to fit each individual person.

Many people have structural problems with their spine, including loss of lumbar curvature, while others have a swayback and each needs a different support. Simply buying a nice looking chair with a lumbar addition might actually cause more harm over time. In some workplace environments it was necessary to bring in kneeling chairs with no back support whatsoever, and advising some executives to sit on exercise balls to help stabilize their condition.

What ever the case, it is important to consider each individual. This not only leads to a happier employee, but can lead to less down time and higher productivity, so it is definitely a wise investment.

Stretching your upper back the proper way

When a person comes into my office complaining of upper thoracic or rear shoulder pain, they are often in charge of causing the majority of their discomfort. In my experience, the type of stretching they have been attempting to reduce their own symptoms is actually causing more harm than good.

If you are familiar with the bending forward while dangling your arm forward to “stretch” or pull the area of discomfort in your upper back or scapula, you are guilty of this. This motion may create a sensation, but that does not mean it is good for you. This motion actually irritates the muscle, nerve, and origin/insertion of each muscle. Over time, this will create a constant, chronic irritation.

If a person suffering from this discomfort would like to do better, stretching the opposite way is the correct action. This includes retraining the brain to understand proper posture, and strengthening the muscles in between the shoulder blades. Squeezing the should blades together for 30-60 seconds multiple times a day over the span of 30-60 days can have a significant impact in reducing the symptoms.

While all of the suggestions are good, it is still imperative to see the appropriate health professional for your condition. Chiropractic adjustments can play an important role in the natural correction and function of the body, as well as relieving pain and discomfort. With that being said, these suggestions can help you end up in a position where you are strictly seeking care by choice, and do no feel like it is the only thing getting you through the day.

Best of Luck!
