That was a great deal of fun, and I hope we can do something like that again soon.

This week, Dr. Kenneth May was invited to offer some extra sports medicine education for all of the Prince William County high school athletic trainers. The topic was cupping therapy. As Dr. May tells us, "It was a lot of fun, everybody learned, and we helped build a better stronger relationship with our community to improve healthcare for our young athletes!"

Nobody likes a pain in the neck, and even more so a pinched nerve. The formal name for a pinched nerve is Cervical Radiculopathy. Gentle and very comfortable traction techniques can be used to effectively help with proper recovery of this type of injury. This is an approach our therapy team takes in cases such as this.

Sometimes we overlook simple tasks like bending down to pick something or or looking down to read something. Did you know that if we experience some nasty neck and or back pain that the muscles that run up and down our spine become less “stretchy”. The good news is that proper exercise, stretching and some manual therapy can fix this relatively quickly! I always tell everybody we need to move like Gumby.

Did anybody wake up with a stiff neck today? As funny as these jokes can be, it’s not so much about sleeping the “wrong way”. In most cases you should be able to sleep any position so long as you have a good supportive bed and pillows. Try stretching, getting some light exercise and if your neck is still painful from when you slept, then come on in for some treatment. Getting good sleep is always important and something we touch base on at the office for overall heath.

Most everybody always thinks that you have to have a significant injury to suffer from a disc injury or experience disc pain. We have plenty of research that demonstrates just the opposite, most of the time disc issues build up slowly. The good news is that most disc issues can be successfully managed with conservative care measures!
