Therapies for degenerative disc disease

[Guest guest]

Hello-

I have been recently diagnosed with mild and early degenerative disc

disease in my neck. It causes some neck problems and pain along with

pain and pins and needles in my right arm.

As yet it is quite mild and in it's early stages but I would like to

prevent it from getting any worse. I wondered if anyone here might

have some suggestions as to supplements I could be taking or any other

alternative therapy? I'm quite open to anything from crystal healing

to vitamins to stretches or exercise........I already take a high

potency naturaly based multi-vitamin along with extra calcium and

vitamins E and C.

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone here can give me!

Lynne,

I wonder if you have explored the use of massage therapy for the relief of the

muscle tissue around the discs. Tight muscles along the spinal column can have

an affect on the discs themselves. Sometimes, the pins and needles are caused

as much by the pressure of the muscles on nerves as they exit the disc as the

discs themselves. Further, if muscles are tight, they can cause weak discs to

press more on the nerves than they would otherwise.

 

If you are not using massage therapy, and want to, find a therapist that is

certified and licensd (if your state requires it) in both relaxation and one or

more of the various pain relief modalities. Neuro-muscular therapy, deep

tissue, soft tissue reliease, myofascial release, etc.

Hi Lynn,

I'm quite open to anything ....>

 

Lynn,

 

Amen to the suggestion of gentle massage

therapy, or other forms of bodywork that

prevent your muscles from stiffening up and

aggravating the problem.

 

I have a nice article on this topic in print format along with some suggestions for nutritional

support.

 

I will be glad to send you the article if you give

me a snailmail address.

 

Also: once upon a time I went to see my doctor because of frequent stiff sore necks.

I was told my neck would only get worse and I should avoid bending my head backwards.

 

Shortly after that I started using a wild whole food with rare regenerative qualities.

In fact, it has now been proven that AFA

actually stimulates the activity of adult stem

cells, the body's ultimate repair system.

 

My neck has not hurt for years, and I move it

any old way I want.

 

Yes, this is something I sell, and use, so if

you decide to try Recovazon and Aquazon

I would get a commission. Can you live with that?

 

Read more about AFA by sending a blank

email here: aquazon
