Back Pain Solution
Eliminate Back Pain Without Surgery
Elizabeth had classic symptoms of a bulging or herniated disk in her lower back.Elizabeth was
reluctant. "I wanted to avoid surgery but I also wanted to be out of pain. It's the only way of putting it. "
There is an alternative to surgery. It's called nucleoplasty. A minimally invasive procedure that uses an X-Ray
guided needle and and a tiny radio antenna to shrink the bulging disk. "It allows us to really decompress the disk space in a
percutaneous, minimally invasive way." Here's how it works. When a spinal disk between vertebrae bulges it presses on nerves
coming from the spinal cord, causing pain. Doctors careful insert a needle into the disk. At the tip is a tiny radio antenna that emits
radio frequency energy. As this probe is advanced into the disk, the radio waves break up the disk material, disintegrating the
jelly-like center of the disk. When the needle is withdrawn, the disk contracts, shrinking away from where it was pressing on the
nerve, relieving the pain almost immediately.
New Back Pain Procedure
New Procedure Can Help With Back Pain
But for many people, back surgery can involve greater risks. "The old operation, you make an incision in the middle and you
would pull the muscle away from the bone. The problem with that is healing. It hurts"
A minimally invasive Metrix procedure is through making a small incision. How does it work?
"Make an 18 millimeter incision, go down, split the muscles, put the tube in. I bring a microscope in, then operate through that
tube. Take off the small piece of bone, find the nerve, find where it is pinched, bring that nerve to the side, that part that's sticking
up, I take that out. I take out enough of the inside, not all of it, but enough, so the capsule will seal and then close."
The nerve is repaired and the operation is complete. It takes about an hour and a half. Most people go home the same day.
"Nine weeks from surgery, 92 percent of people with surgery return to full activity.

Waist Measurement Key to Diabetes, Heart Risks..Etc.
Waist circumference, rather than overall weight, is the truest indicator of an increased risk of diabetes or
heart disease, a leading British health expert said on Wednesday. Although being overweight raises
susceptibility to certain illnesses, the main threat to health lies in where the extra weight is carried.
Fat deposited on the stomach or abdomen, the classic beer gut, is more dangerous than extra pounds on
the thighs because the fat cells around the waist pump out chemicals that can damage the insulin system -
raising the risk of diabetes and heart disease. "Waist circumference can predict the risks of type 2 diabetes
and heart disease more accurately than weight," Professor Anthony Barnett of the University of
Birmingham told an obesity conference. "Thicker waistlines may double to quadruple the risks, compared
to those with slimmer waistlines."

Improper-pH-Balance-Leads-to-Arthritis-and-Related-Illnesses
When your body accumulates an excessive amount of acid, you are at risk for arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
If you already suffer from one of these diseases, high acidity will intensify your inflammation, soft tissue degeneration and bone
loss.
A highly acidic pH prevents the body from functioning properly. The presence of acid waste makes it increasingly difficult for cells
to absorb the fuel they need. Vital body systems like the immune system start to malfunction. The result is increased inflammation
and soft tissue degeneration. Acids are also solidified and deposited throughout the body, leading to bone loss.
The longer you wait to reduce your body acidity, the longer you remain at risk for arthritis and related illnesses.
