Are Antacids and Blockers helping you or Creating a Long Term Gastric Issues?

Many will tell you that your "acid reflux" symptoms are because you have too much acid. In most cases that is wrong. Have you noticed that when you are taking your acid pills constantly and the problem never goes away? Low stomach acid leads to a lack of digestion wherein the food in your stomach ferments, decays, and purifies. Below is a diagram of the process and roll acids play in digestion. Stomach acid is necessary to help digest the food and absorb the nutrients. The acid is also useful in killing bad bacteria and fungus.

Your smart phone may be hurting you more than you think

Your smart phone may be hurting you more than you think. These days it is rare you don't see someone texting or surfing the internet on their phone. Over time, however, you may notice some pain in the base of your thumb. It may have started as a mild ache but has now progressed to an intense pain! But what is this pain? You may be developing myofascial thumb pain and tendinitis of the thinner eminence.

This condition refers to a variety of symptoms which stem from the use of hand held mobile devices with typing/texting capabilities. Because of the fine and repetitive nature of the movements needed to operate these devices, overuse can lead to the development of joint, muscle, and tendon inflammation, tightness and restriction, and either generalized or specific thumb pain.

Chiropractors can help with your thumb pain, just like your back pain. Bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage all respond well to chiropractic care and your thumb is no different. First, you should rest your thumb. Stop texting so much! You should also apply ice for 15 minutes at a time to the thumb. Chiropractic care includes: ice, adjustments, electric stimulation to the region, soft tissue work and ultra sound. Contact Rosa Rehab and see what we can do to help you reconnect with the world of texting and surfing the internet!
