Chiropractic clinic in Wichita offers patients new insight into personal health

Wichita, KS -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/23/2014 -- Chiropractic care facility Wichita Pain Center is introducing a new health analysis and natural treatment program they call "Transformation 360." They believe this complete health review and healing program can help reverse the effects of type 2 diabetes and prevent the onset of other serious health issues later in life. The idea is to compile a complete wellness profile of the patient in order to come up with a plan for sustainable health. According to the doctors at Wichita Pain Center, improving the patient's overall health is often the most effective way to knock out symptoms long term.

The chiropractors at Wichita Pain Center are passionate about helping people improve their health through non-invasive, natural healing methods. Transformation 360 is a starting point for anyone looking to improve overall wellness and for those already suffering from serious health issues. The two-part process includes a personal health score and individual treatment plan.

After a detailed medical review, Wichita Pain Center patients get their very own "WICO score," which, according to WPC staff, "is like a FICO score for your overall health." A doctor trained in advanced pain diagnostics then reviews the score and explains its meaning to the patient. Treatment will commence only after the patient has a strong understanding of their role in the wellness process.

Dr. Mark Albers and the staff at Wichita Pain Center provide treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome and pain symptoms arising from repetitive task strain

Wichita, KS -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/26/2014 -- Dr. Mark Albers of the Wichita Pain Center provides treatment for sufferers of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS, or occupational neuritis) and other conditions that are the result of repetitive tasks many people perform at work or throughout their daily lives. Activities that strain the muscles and nerves such as typing, sewing or using certain kinds of machinery commonly result in inflammation and pain after months or years of constant repetition. In the case of CTS, the pain is a result of stress and inflammation in the carpal tunnel, a tube-like structure formed by the carpal (wrist) bones. Through this channel travel nine tendons and one nerve, called the median nerve. CTS symptoms arise when the median nerve is irritated by the constant friction and strain on the tendons that accompany it through the carpal tunnel. CTS has been so frequently diagnosed that it's referred to as "the occupational disease of the 1990s."

This condition is a present irritation for many people across disciplines and lifestyles, from home makers to office workers, meat cutters, assembly line workers, carpenters, musicians and many others. In extreme cases, or because of improper or incomplete care, fractures in the wrist or hand bones caused by poorly designed implements or hand tools that vibrate or involve percussive motions may damage the hand or wrist and lead to CTS. Other conditions may lead to the development of CTS, such as rheumatoid or osteoarthritis. It is often diagnosed in women who are pregnant women or are using birth control pills, and people with underactive thyroid glands. Common medical treatments for CTS involve wrist immobilization, icing, and medication with diuretics or anti-inflammatories. For persistent, chronic pain or pain too severe for long-term treatment, corticosteroids may be injected near the wrist. This method results in temporary relief but, unfortunately, carries an unfavorable relapse rate and side effects. Surgery is an option. In fact, over 100,000 CTS treatment operations are performed yearly. Recovery times for that procedure may require 6 months to 10 years.

Patients suffering from CTS should include a consultation with a Board Certified Chiropractic Internist to discover whether the spinal column is experiencing nerve pressure or inflammation in the route between the arms, wrists and neck, and to help determine if there is any internal organ involvement, like the thyroid, which can create pain in the carpal tunnel. Many muscle and tissue problems may be effectively treated without drugs or surgery. Dr. Albers has become an expert in Transverse Friction therapy, which is applied to tendonitis problems including those that affect the carpal tunnel, as well as the Pain Neutralization Technique, which is utilized to reduce or eliminate pain in seconds without drugs, physical therapy machinery or even joint manipulation.
