Acute inflammation is a good thing because it is the body's natural defense mechanism. When you get injured or have an infection, your immune system triggers inflammation to help heal tissues and fight off harmful invaders. This short-term response increases blood flow, brings immune cells to the area, and removes damaged cells—helping you recover quickly. What is the difference between acute inflammation and chronic inflammation? Chronic inflammation is harmful because it is a prolonged, low-grade immune response that doesn't turn off. It can be triggered by poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, or underlying conditions. Over time, chronic inflammation damages healthy tissues, contributes to pain, and increases the risk of diseases like arthritis, heart disease, and even Alzheimer's. So, while acute inflammation is essential for healing, chronic inflammation can silently wreak havoc on your body. Managing stress, eating anti-inflammatory foods, and staying active are key to keeping inflammation under control.

https://darienchiropractor.com › your-health-matters-to-uswww.darienchiropractor.comIn this episode of Core Health Darien's podcast, Dr. Brian McKay dives deep into the fascinating world of muscle spindle cells, Golgi tendon organs, and their critical role in modifying pain signals through afferent nerve pathways. These specialized sensory receptors are key players in the body's ability to regulate muscle tension, movement, and pain perception. Dr. McKay explains how the integration of Trigenics, a neurological treatment system, with chiropractic adjustments can amplify the body's natural ability to heal and function.By targeting muscle spindle cells and Golgi tendon organs, Trigenics leverages afferent nerve signaling to “reboot” how the brain communicates with the body. This approach not only reduces pain but also improves functional movement and restores control over areas affected by dysfunction. Dr. McKay explores the brain's pivotal role in pain modulation and how enhancing brain-body communication leads to more sustainable results for patients.Listeners will learn how patients at Core Health Darien benefit from combining Trigenics with chiropractic adjustments to achieve functional enhancements that go beyond pain relief—supporting improved mobility, strength, and long-term recovery. Whether you're a patient, a health professional, or simply curious about innovative pain management techniques, this podcast provides valuable insights into how cutting-edge treatments can unlock the body's potential to heal naturally.Tune in to discover how Core Health Darien is revolutionizing pain relief by bridging the gap between brain control, neurology, and functional health!Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-3636https://goo.gl/maps/js6hGWvcwHKBGCZ88https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=Uhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darienchiropractorhttps://www.facebook.com/ChiropractorBrianMckayhttps://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9052981016823215070&hl=enhttps://youtu.be/CTa85YpYBiwhttps://darienchiropractor.com/spinal-decompression/https://maps.app.goo.gl/kbjVbvCn2cAqYZQn6This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Catch Headache Video Here : Have you ever experienced a headache that's far more intense than usual and localized to one side of your face, accompanied by perhaps some tearing or nasal congestion? These could be signs of Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalgia (TAC), a condition that's significantly more debilitating than your typical headache. Distinguishing between these and more common types of headaches is not just about managing pain but understanding a possibly serious underlying condition. Understanding trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) begins with recognizing their unique and debilitating symptoms. As an experienced chiropractor for headaches, Dr. Brian McKay of Core Health in Darien offers cutting-edge therapy to eliminate TAC's. TAC's often present with unilateral pain that can be excruciatingly severe. This pain is frequently accompanied by autonomic symptoms such as eye watering, nasal congestion, or eyelid drooping, primarily affecting one side of your face. Dr. Brian McKay and his team specialize in non-medication headache relief techniques, which can be particularly beneficial if you're dealing with the intense pain of TACs.This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

https://darienchiropractor.com/natural-migraine-headache-treatment-chiropractic-care/At Core Health Darien, Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) offers an effective, non-invasive approach to treating headaches, including migraines and tension headaches. LLLT uses photobiomodulation, a process in which specific wavelengths of light penetrate the skin to target underlying tissues. This therapy promotes cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and enhances blood flow, addressing key factors that contribute to headaches.Dr. Brian McKay, with over 35 years of experience, applies LLLT to specific regions of the head, neck, and shoulders, often focusing on nerves like the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves, which play a role in headache pain. The laser stimulates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production in cells, providing them with the energy needed for repair and reducing hypersensitivity that may trigger headaches.Patients often report a noticeable decrease in headache frequency and severity after LLLT sessions. The therapy is particularly beneficial for those seeking drug-free relief, offering a safe alternative to medication, which can cause side effects or dependency. Additionally, LLLT has shown promise in improving related symptoms such as neck tension, brain fog, and disrupted sleep.Core Health Darien integrates LLLT with other treatments like chiropractic adjustments to address the root causes of headaches. By combining therapies, Dr. McKay creates individualized care plans that maximize outcomes. With a strong commitment to patient wellness, Core Health Darien continues to provide cutting-edge treatments like LLLT to help patients achieve long-lasting relief from chronic headaches.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-3636https://youtu.be/CTa85YpYBiwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uluuLBxmVc41.0834123,-73.4664097https://maps.app.goo.gl/iDMfo9cEZJbZHKGP7Find us on Social Mediahttps://chiropractor-darien-dr-brian-mckay.business.site  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNHc0Hn85Iiet56oGUpX8rw  back pain project youtube sitehttps://goo.gl/maps/js6hGWvcwHKBGCZ88https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=Uhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darienchiropractorThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

You might not know that these could be linked to pressure on your brain stem, a critical area that helps manage your body's most basic functions. Chiropractic care offers a unique approach to alleviating these symptoms by targeting the root cause—pressure that shouldn't be there. As you explore how spinal adjustments can reduce this strain, you'll discover not just relief, but a path to better overall health. But how exactly does this work, and what can you expect from such treatments? Let's uncover the possibilities together.Key TakeawaysBrainstem tension can disrupt neurological function, leading to headaches.Chiropractic adjustments target misalignments that cause pressure on the brain stem.Alleviating this pressure can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.Techniques like brainstem manipulation and medulla massage specifically relieve this stress.Restoring alignment in the neck and spine promotes long-term headache relief.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-363641.0833695 -73.46652073GMP+87 Darien, Connecticuthttps://youtu.be/WpA__dDF0O041.0834196 -73.46423349999999https://darienchiropractor.comhttps://darienchiropractor.com/darien/darien-ct-understanding-pain/Find us on Social Mediahttps://chiropractor-darien-dr-brian-mckay.business.sitehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNHc0Hn85Iiet56oGUpX8rwhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nJ9wlvg2Tne8257paDkkIBEyIz-oZZYy/edit#gid=517721981https://goo.gl/maps/js6hGWvcwHKBGCZ88https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=Uhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/darienchiropractorhttps://www.facebook.com/ChiropractorBrianMckayhttps://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/https://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/homeQuiropractico para Dolor551 Post Road Suite 2b, Darien, CT 06820203-424-2244https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BjQ58fpcl4This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Peripheral neuropathy can pose various dangers depending on its severity and the specific nerves affected. Some of the primary concerns include:1. **Loss of Sensation**: This is one of the most common symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Reduced sensation, especially in the feet and hands, can lead to an increased risk of injuries like burns, cuts, or ulcers, as individuals may not feel pain or temperature changes.2. **Balance and Mobility Issues**: Muscle weakness or numbness can affect coordination and balance, making falls more likely. This can be particularly dangerous for older adults, increasing the risk of fractures or serious injuries.3. **Chronic Pain**: Neuropathy can lead to ongoing pain, including burning, tingling, or stabbing sensations, which can significantly impact a person's quality of life and mental health.4. **Infections**: Due to numbness, individuals may not notice wounds, especially on the feet. Untreated wounds can become infected, and in severe cases, lead to gangrene or amputation, particularly for people with diabetes.5. **Autonomic Dysfunction**: If the autonomic nerves are affected, this can lead to abnormal heart rate, blood pressure fluctuations, digestive problems, or even bladder control issues. 6. **Muscle Weakness and Atrophy**: Damage to motor nerves can cause muscle weakness, difficulty with fine motor skills, or even muscle atrophy over time, impacting mobility and daily functioning.Proper diagnosis and management of peripheral neuropathy are essential to mitigate these risks.

Exploring the combined benefits of cupping and chiropractic care can offer a holistic approach to addressing headaches. Imagine a treatment approach that not only targets your symptoms but also addresses the underlying causes of your headaches. By exploring the synergistic effects of these two therapies, you might just discover a comprehensive solution that provides lasting results. Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on your skin to create suction. This suction can help increase blood flow to the area, promoting healing and reducing muscle tension.

https://darienchiropractor.com/herniated-discs/https://youtu.be/hS5I_ZfPQEA (watch this video for more info)If you've been grappling with back discomfort, you may be contemplating whether a bulging disc or a herniated disc is causing your back or neck pain. A bulging disc hints at a minor extension beyond its usual limits and can cause painful spinal nerve irritation. A herniated disc involves the inner core of the disc pushing through a tear in the outer layer, potentially causing pain, numbness, or weakness. The distinction between these conditions could be the key to addressing your spinal health concerns effectively. Herniated discs cause more severe symptoms than bulging discs. Bulging discs involve minor aches and pain, while herniated discs present as  more debilitating serious pain. Herniated discs cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness. This can often lead to surgical intervention in serious cases. Are you sleeping with a bulging or herniated disc? Disc problems will prevent restful sleep. A slipped disc in the neck can cause you to lose restful sleep. A herniated disc in the back can prevent you from getting out of bed due to intense pain. What you should know is that conservative chiropractic care from Core Health Darien will help. Dr. Mc Kay was one of the first chiropractic clinics to offer non-surgical spinal decompression to treat bulging and herniated discs. Stay on for a special offer from Core Health and Dr. McKay, You will be able to try spinal decompression and feel the tremendous pain-relief immediately  203-656-3636This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

https://darienchiropractor.com/wegovy-ozempic-explained/Ozempic and Wegovy are medications classified as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Ozempic is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.  They help regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion. Wegovy is indicated for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight individuals with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol). The weight management effects of Wegovy involve increased feelings of fullness and reduced appetite.  Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells. GLP-1 receptor agonists slow down the rate at which the stomach empties its contents into the small intestine. This effect contributes to a feeling of fullness, which can lead to reduced food intake. GLP-1 receptor agonists help regulate blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin secretion, inhibiting glucagon release, and slowing gastric emptying.  If you have any questions call Dr. Mc Kay at Core Health Darien at 203-656-3636 Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-363641.0833695 -73.46652073GMP+87 Darien, Connecticut       • Darien CT What to Know about Wegovy o...  41.0833735 -73.4669069https://darienchiropractor.comThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Risks for Dementia Video on youtubehttps://darienchiropractor.com/dementia-risks/Possible Reasons Why Women are at Greater risk of developing Alzheimer's. While it's true that women are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than men Several factors may contribute to the higher prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in women Women, on average, tend to live longer than men. Since age is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, the longer lifespan of women contributes to a higher overall prevalence of the condition. Some studies suggest that hormonal changes, particularly those associated with menopause, may play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Estrogen, a hormone that decreases significantly during menopause, has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects The APOE ε4 allele, a known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, may have a stronger impact in women than in men Women who carry the APOE ε4 allele may have a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease compared to men with the same genetic variant Conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol, may also contribute to the risk of Alzheimer's disease Sex differences in immune function could contribute to the gender disparity in Alzheimer's risk There is evidence to suggest that the immune system and inflammatory responses may be involved in the development of Alzheimer's disease Did you know that 23and Me will test for APOE4 Gene? Perhaps you should take the test and find out if you are at risk for Alzheimer's This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

https://darienchiropractor.com/darien/hiatal-hernia-darien-ct/What is a Hiatal Hernia?Ever had that awful feeling of heartburn or acid reflux and wondered what's causing it? Well, it could be a condition where a part of your stomach pushes up into your chest area through an opening in your diaphragm, a large muscle crucial for breathing. This condition is known as a hiatal hernia.There are different causes for this hernia, such as age, obesity, and certain physical activities that put pressure on the abdomen. Symptoms might include chest pain, difficulty swallowing, and that familiar burning sensation in your chest or throat, known as heartburn.When it comes to treatment options for a hiatal hernia, there's a range to consider. You might be able to manage your symptoms with lifestyle modifications, like eating smaller meals, avoiding certain foods that trigger heartburn, and not lying down immediately after eating. If these changes aren't enough, surgical interventions might be necessary. This could involve pulling your stomach back into the abdomen and making the opening in the diaphragm smaller, or even reconstructing an entirely new valve from a part of your stomach.Hiatal Hernia Video on You tubehttps://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/Find us on Social Mediahttps://chiropractor-darien-dr-brian-mckay.business.site  https://g.page/r/Cd4zGiJFpqJ9EBM/review    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNHc0Hn85Iiet56oGUpX8rw   back pain projeThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

https://darienchiropractor.com/darien-ct-leaky-gut-explained/Do you know what a Leaky Gut is? Do you have any of the following health issues? Digestive issues: This may include bloating, gas, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like symptoms. Food sensitivities: Advocates of the leaky gut theory propose that the increased permeability of the intestine allows larger particles to enter the bloodstream, potentially triggering immune reactions and food sensitivities. Fatigue: Some people claim to experience fatigue as a result of leaky gut, though fatigue is a common symptom in many health conditions. Joint pain: Joint pain and inflammation are sometimes linked to leaky gut Skin problems: Conditions such as eczema and acne have been suggested to be associated with leaky gut by some proponents. Autoimmune diseases: There is a theoretical link between increased intestinal permeability and autoimmune diseases, as the theory suggests that leaked particles may trigger an immune response Here are some factors that have been proposed to contribute to leaky gut: Dietary factors: Certain dietary components, such as a high intake of refined sugars, saturated fats, and processed foods, may contribute to inflammation and affect the integrity of the intestinal lining. Gut dysbiosis: Imbalance in the gut microbiota, known as dysbiosis, has been suggested as a potential factor. Disruptions in the balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the gut may influence intestinal permeability. Chronic stress: Prolonged stress may have an impact on the gut and its functions. Stress hormones, such as cortisol, could potentially affect the integrity of the intestinal barrier. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Long-term use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, has been associated with increased intestinal permeability in some studies. Excessive alcohol consumption: Alcohol can contribute to inflammation and damage the intestinal lining, potentially increasing permeability. Environmental factors: Exposure to environmental toxins and pollutants has been proposed as a potential contributor to leaky gut Core Health Darien might be able to help you with a leaky gut.

One of the primary objectives of the Linx test is to pinpoint reactivity to triggers associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. By analyzing specific biomarkers and indicators present in the patient's blood, the test provides valuable insights into the immune system's response to factors that may contribute to the development of these conditions. Understanding the triggers that elicit an immune response is crucial in tailoring preventative strategies and interventions, allowing healthcare professionals to address potential risk factors before they manifest into serious cognitive impairments.Moreover, the Linx test is adept at identifying the early stages of neurodegenerative processes. Detecting subtle changes in the body's immune response and biomarker profile enables healthcare practitioners to intervene at an early stage, potentially slowing down or even halting the progression of Alzheimer's disease or other neurological disorders. Early detection is a key factor in improving treatment outcomes, as interventions initiated in the early stages of these conditions tend to be more effective in preserving cognitive function and quality of life.The significance of the Linx test extends beyond diagnosis, as it plays a crucial role in monitoring the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications for Alzheimer's disease. Lifestyle factors, such as diet, exercise, and stress management, have been shown to influence the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders. The Linx test allows healthcare professionals to track changes in the patient's biomarker profile over time, providing valuable feedback on the impact of lifestyle modifications. This personalized approach empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being, offering a proactive strategy for reducing the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-363641.0833695 -73.46652073GMP+87 Darien, Connecticut41.0833735 -73.4669069https://darienchiropractor.comhttps://sites.google.com/view/corehealthdarien/This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Shoulder pain can be related to various neurological factors and connections within the central nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) includes the brain and spinal cord, and it plays a crucial role in transmitting and processing pain signals. Here are a few ways in which shoulder pain and the central nervous system are connected:1. Nerve Impingement:Brachial Plexus: The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that control the shoulder, arm, and hand muscles. Compression or impingement of these nerves due to conditions like thoracic outlet syndrome or cervical radiculopathy can cause shoulder pain.2. Referred Pain:Visceral Referred Pain: Problems in internal organs like the heart, liver, or gallbladder can cause shoulder pain. This phenomenon, known as referred pain, occurs because the nerves that supply the internal organs and the shoulder converge at the same levels in the spinal cord, leading to the brain interpreting the pain as coming from the shoulder.4. Neuropathic Pain:Neuropathy: Damage to peripheral nerves (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord) can cause neuropathic pain. Conditions like diabetic neuropathy or nerve injuries near the shoulder can result in chronic shoulder pain due to faulty signaling to the brain.5. Inflammatory Responses:Cytokines and Neurotransmitters: Inflammation in the shoulder joint can lead to the release of cytokines and neurotransmitters that sensitize nearby nerves, making them more responsive to pain signals. These signals are transmitted to the CNS, leading to the perception of pain.In summary, the connection between shoulder pain and the central nervous system is multifaceted, involving a complex interplay of peripheral nerve signals, CNS processing, psychological factors, and inflammatory responses. Understanding these connections is crucial for diagnosing and effectively managing shoulder pain in clinical settings.

Headaches Caused by Irritation Of Brain Stem | Darien CTWould you be surprised to learn that Irritation along the brain stem can indeed lead to headaches? When the brain stem is irritated it can be the cause of your headaches but why hasn't your doctor told you about this? The brain stem is a crucial part of the central nervous system, and it plays a significant role in regulating various bodily functions, including those related to pain perception and the sensation of headaches The brain stem contains several nuclei and pathways that are involved in processing and transmitting pain signals. When there is irritation or dysfunction in this region, it can affect the way pain signals are processed. The brain stem has control over blood vessels in the head, including those in the scalp and meninges (the protective membranes surrounding the brain). Irritation of the brain stem can lead to changes in blood flow to these vessels, which may contribute to headache development The brain stem also regulates muscle tone and tension in the neck and head contributing to your headaches Irritation or dysfunction in this area can lead to increased muscle tension, particularly in the neck and shoulder muscles, which is a common trigger for tension-type headaches The brain stem plays a role in modulating the perception of pain and can cause heightened levels of headache pain When the brain stem is irritated, it may alter the way the brain processes pain signals, making you more sensitive to pain, including headaches The brain stem houses centers that regulate pain and sensory information If these centers are not functioning correctly due to irritation or other factors, it can result in the perception of pain, including headaches It's essential to note that headaches caused by irritation of the brain stem can vary in type and severity. They may be tension-type headaches, migraines, or other types, depending on the specific mechanisms involved and individual factors At this point doesn't it  make sense that Irritation of your brain stem could be the cause of your headaches?

Understanding the Basics of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Treatment For Migraine HeadachesLet's delve into the basics of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field treatment, a therapeutic approach that Core Health Darien has been utilizing for seven years to offer potential relief to those grappling with migraines and headaches. This innovative therapy, commonly referred to as PEMF therapy, uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate your body's cells and tissues. The goal is to promote healing by enhancing circulation in the brain and surrounding tissues, which in turn optimizes oxygen and nutrient delivery.By understanding the basics of pulsed electromagnetic field treatment for migraine headaches, you're taking an essential step towards empowering yourself with knowledge about alternative treatments.PEMF therapy migraine management focuses on two key areas: alleviating pain and reducing inflammation. Neurotransmitters play a pivotal role in pain perception, so it's possible that PEMF could influence these neurotransmitter levels and restore balance within your brain chemistry.

Darien CT- Piriformis Syndrome or Sciatica? Core Health Darien 203-656-3636Sciatica and piriformis syndrome are two distinct conditions that can cause similar symptoms, especially pain radiating down the leg. However, they have different underlying causes.Sciatica is not a condition itself but a symptom of an underlying problem. It occurs when the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body, gets compressed or irritated. The most common cause of sciatica is a herniated or bulging disc in the lumbar spine, which puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.Piriformis syndrome occurs when the piriformis muscle, located deep in the buttocks, becomes tight or spasms, compressing or irritating the nearby sciatic nerve. In this case, the piriformis muscle itself is the source of the problem, rather than a herniated disc or other spinal issue.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian Mc Kay 551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-363641.0833695 -73.4665207https://youtu.be/tn4HRThoiWs41.0834196 -73.46423349999999https://darienchiropractor.comThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Core Health Darien551 Post RoadDarien CT 06820203-656-3636What can be causing your sciatica?Sciatica is a condition characterized by pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body. It usually affects one side of the body and can be caused by various factors. Here are some of the main causes of sciatica:Herniated Disc: This is the most common cause of sciatica. A herniated or slipped disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer and presses against the nearby nerve roots, including the sciatic nerve.Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: It refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back. This narrowing can compress the spinal nerves, including the sciatic nerve, leading to sciatica symptoms.Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, the spinal discs between the vertebrae can degenerate or wear down. This can cause the discs to lose their cushioning ability and lead to irritation or compression of the nerve roots, including the sciatic nerve.Piriformis Syndrome: The piriformis muscle is a small muscle located deep in the buttock region. When it becomes tight or spasms, it can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatica symptoms.Spinal Injury or Trauma: Any injury to the spine, such as fractures or dislocations, can potentially damage the spinal discs or put pressure on the nerve roots, causing sciatica.Spinal Tumors: Although relatively rare, tumors in the spine can develop and compress the sciatic nerve or its roots, leading to sciatica symptoms.Spondylolisthesis: This condition occurs when one vertebra slips forward over the vertebra below it, causing the spinal canal to narrow and potentially compressing the sciatic nerve.Muscle Spasms: In some cases, muscle spasms in the lower back can irritate the sciatic nerve and result in sciatica symptoms.It's worth noting that sometimes the exact cause of sciatica may not be identified, and it can occur spontaneously without a specific trigger. If you are experiencing symptoms of sciatica, it is advisable to consult with Dr.Mc Kay at Core Health Darien for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. We can be reached at 203-656-3636.

 What Is Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)?Frozen shoulder is an inflammation of the capsule surrounding the shoulder joint. It usually occurs when connective tissue around the joint becomes thickened and tightens up over time. The resulting restriction of movement causes restricted mobility and discomfort due to tension on ligaments and muscles. While there is no one specific cause for developing this condition, some factors such as age, diabetes, trauma and surgery can increase risk of acquiring frozen shoulder.Treatment options vary depending on the severity and include physical therapy exercises, medications to reduce inflammation, steroid injections and in severe cases, surgery. Physical therapy exercises are typically recommended first before any other treatments since they help with stretching out affected tissues while strengthening supporting muscles around them to improve overall flexibility of the joint. Medications may be prescribed alongside physical therapy if necessary to provide relief from pain or swelling caused by adhesive capsulitis. Steroid injections offer short-term relief but should only be used as a last resort due to potential risks associated with them. Surgery is reserved for those whose symptoms are not relieved after trying multiple conservative treatment methods.No matter what type of treatment option chosen, early intervention is key to managing frozen shoulder effectively. In addition to seeking medical advice from a healthcare professional right away, performing regular stretches and strength training exercises at home can speed recovery process along significantly.Core Health Darien551 Post RoadDarien Ct 06820203-656-3636This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Can a Chiropractor Fix HeadachesChiropractic care has been shown to be effective in treating several types of headaches, including tension headaches, migraines, and cervicogenic headaches (headaches caused by disorders of the neck). Here are some of the ways chiropractic care helps headaches. Chiropractors can and do fix headaches.Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation helps with headachesSpinal manipulation, also known as a chiropractic adjustment, is the most common technique used by chiropractors to treat headaches. Spinal manipulation involves applying a controlled force to a joint in the spine to restore its proper function. This can help to relieve tension and pressure in the muscles, joints, and nerves of the neck and head, which can reduce the frequency and severity of headaches.Research has shown that spinal manipulation is an effective treatment for tension headaches and migraines. A study published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics found that spinal manipulation was more effective than medication for reducing the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches. Another study published in the European Journal of Neurology found that spinal manipulation was more effective than medication for reducing the frequency of tension headaches.Core Health Darien203-656-3636This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

What is The Knee on Trac?The Knee on Trac is a medical device that helps your knee joint to produce more synovial fluid. In case you do not know what synovial fluid is I will tell you. The synovial fluid acts like a lubricant for the knee. Synovial fluid is made up of many components like hyaluronan, lubricin, proteinase, collagenases, and prostaglandins. The knee takes on a great deal of stress and can be a major cause of discomfort for many people. When the stress on the knee becomes too great it can start to wear down or tear the meniscus causing irritation and knee pain. Adequate levels of synovial fluid helps protect the knee from inflammation which leads to degeneration of the knee.People with knee pain who want to avoid knee surgery or even knee replacement would do themselves a great service by trying out the Knee on Trac. It gently tractions the knee joint and stimulates the synovium to produce soothing synovial fluid. Less inflammation means less pain. Just consider how your car runs when it has the proper amount of oil in the engine. Your knee is a mechanical wonder my job is to keep it running as smoothly as possible.Core Health Darien-Dr.Brian McKay203-656-3636This podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.

Understanding Chronic Knee Pain What's the most common cause of chronic knee pain?People often ask me, "How do I stop constant knee pain?". My first question back is usually what are you doing to aggravate your knee? Did you have an accident? Is there an old sports injury? Did your parents have arthritis? Do you exercise regularly? Are you overweight? All of these and more are solid reasons to have chronic knee pain There are so many ways that someone can have chronic knee pain. It is nice to know what caused knee pain but if you have chronic knee pain figuring out how to fix it is more important. Let's get into how we do this at Core Health Darien.How to Stop Chronic Knee Pain?It all starts with an examination. Chances are that if you have had knee pain for more than 12 months you will need advanced imaging. X-rays are less expensive and might suffice but MRIs are a better diagnostic tool to see soft tissue injuries. Your doctor along with a radiologist's report will identify the problem. Now a solution for your chronic knee pain can be derived.For my patients, once I determine that I can help their knee issues I begin to order the Knee on Trac. The Knee on Trac is a special therapy that helps your body to produce more synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is a lubricant. Since there is pain there will be inflammation. Synovial fluid acts to quell the swelling associated with pain and inflammation.How to tell if your knee pain is serious?When simple activities of daily living start to become more of a burden you will know that your chronic knee pain is in need of attention. When your knee pain is unbearable you probably are doing more damage. When knee pain is left untreated it will only worsen. Quite often people with knee pain think that since there was no trauma or injury that it should go away on its own. This is not true, it is not normal to have knee pain for months. Pain is your body's way of saying something is wrong. Pain left untreated can last years, consider all that you are missing out on in life.How to Fix Chronic Knee PainAs mentioned earlier the Knee on Trac is a cornerstone of knee pain care at Core Health Darien. We also use shockwave therapy to break up muscle adhesions and enhance blood flow via angiogenesis. A newer method of treating chronic knee pain is to use blood flow, restriction bands. The elastic bands are placed at the hips and limit blood flow and therefore oxygen to the muscles of the leg. This creates a deficit that causes a rush of oxygenated blood into damaged tissue to rejuvenate the muscles and to some extent the ligaments. Core Health Darien also offers Tri-Genics as a way to stimulate nerve fibers from the muscles and tendons to the spinal cord to help inhibit pain. We also use laser therapy to allow the body to ramp up the production of nitric oxide, a powerful vasodilator to drive more healing blood to the muscles causing your chronic knee pain.When Knee Pain Doesn't Go Away?Call us 203-656-3636 and make an appointment! Now if you have been told that you require a knee replacement we may not be a good fit. We have helped some people after knee replacement failed and they still had knee pain.

What Causes Frozen Shoulder?It is not known exactly what causes this condition. Immobilization of the shoulder (after an arm injury, for instance) can lead to a frozen shoulder. Inflammation of the muscles and/or tendons, as with rotator cuff tendinitis or bursitis, can also cause the shoulder joint to become frozen. The glenohumeral joint is surrounded by muscles and tendons and held together by ligaments. When the balance between the ligaments, tendons, and muscles is interrupted the tissue form what are called adhesions. Adhesions turn fascia, the covering of the muscles into raisins. Raisins? Are you crazy?What's am Adhesion?Adhesions are easy to visualize as raisins. Muscle tissue should resemble grapes. When the fascia becomes irritated the covering shrivels up and causes pain that would limit motion. The more something hurts the less likely you are to use it. Adhesions in my estimation are a big cause of adhesive capsulitis. Like any muscles that are not used they will atrophy. So now when I mention atrophy the raisin-to-grape analogy would make more sense. There are many nerves in the fascia which is another reason shoulder pain due to adhesions is so painfulMuscles That Cause Frozen ShoulderIf you have had trauma to your shoulder there can be other muscles involved. What I am going to tell you is that there are 4 primary muscles involved in adhesive capsulitis. BY addressing these muscles first we find the most success in treating shoulder pain.SubscapularisThe Subscapularis the muscle found in front of your scapula internally rotates the humerus and brings it closer to the midline of the body. It also protects the shoulder from moving out of place in a forward direction.The Latissimus DorsiThe latissimus dorsi is responsible for a lot of things. It helps to stabilize your pelvis, it goes all the way down from your shoulder to your lumbar spine. The lats play an extremely important role in stabilizing the neck, shoulder, back, and hips. Think of the latissimus as the anchor of your back. An unstable shoulder needs to be rectified when you have a frozen shoulder.The Middle DeltoidOf the three Deltoid muscles,the Middle Deltoid is the one we see most often involved with cases of frozen shoulder. There are three heads of the deltoid muscle group. They help lift the arm front, side, and backward. The anterior and posterior portions are stronger and are usually safe from strains. It is interesting to note that the deltoid muscle is the largest arm muscle there is, even larger than the pectoralis muscles. The supraspinatus is most commonly injured because there are three different positions where it can become compressed. Overuse of the shoulder can cause the muscle and tendons to become inflamed.  The supraspinatus stabilizes the shoulder joint by keeping the head of the humerus firmly pressed medially against the glenoid fossa of the scapula. The supraspinatus moves the shoulder inwards and allows you to lift the arm. When we treat frozen shoulder we typically start by working the supraspinatus.Core Health Darien treats frozen shoulders by lengthening and strengtThis podcast welcomes your feedback here are several ways to reach out to me.
