Infant Colic

Treating Babies with Colic

ColicBaby

Mothers know how helplessly frustrating a colicky baby can be: The relentless crying that can’t seem to be remedied. Babies have brand new gastrointestinal systems, and with that come new difficult tasks for the new body. Babies with colic are often suffering from Infant Acid Reflux, painful gas and indigestion, constipation, or food sensitivities. While symptoms can be difficult to peg, babies with colic tend to have abrupt episodes of crying or wailing lasting more than 3 hours at a time, multiple times a week for several weeks.

With colicky babies, irritated nerves cause disturbances to the intestines, stomach, and other gastrointestinal organs leading to a build up of gas in the intestines. Chiropractic adjustments help restore communication and function of those nerves while eliminating pain from irritated nerves.

I specialize in using Light Force Technique adjustments and Activator Method to relieve colic in infants. If you think your baby is suffering from colic, call our clinic in Tustin @ 714 730 2225 to see how we can help.

Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Injuries

December 16, 2018

shoulder and back pain

Fighting Extremity Injuries Through Chiropractic

Many people face chronic pain from unresolved shoulder, arm, and hand injuries like bursitis, neuritis, neuralgia, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel, and fibrositis. These injuries can cause long term, recurring pain because the area of injury is weakened.

How do you know something is wrong? When you get pain sensors forcing your attention to the body part in question, the brain is communicating via billions of nerves that extend from the brain through the entire body, branching off to our different organs, muscles, tissues.

In the case of shoulder, arm, or hand pain, it is commonly a brachial plexus injury. The brachial plexus is an intricate network of nerves in the back and neck which can become irritated or inflamed due to trauma, injury, or misalignment of the spine. Injury to the brachial plexus nerves can result in muscle weakness, shoulder or neck stiffness, pain (radiating or pinpointed), numbness, or “pins and needles” nerve sensations. Severe injuries to this region can also result in dizziness, headaches, and limited mobility.

A technique called muscle stripping can be coupled with chiropractic adjustments at our office to effectively treat these injuries and prevent symptoms from returning.

Chiropractic adjustments have been well-documented in correcting shoulder, arm, and hand injuries, but waiting until the need for correction is never the best choice. It is always important to take precautions to prevent injuries from occurring. You can keep your body strong and more resilient to trauma by strengthening weak muscles with exercise, fueling your body with the nutrients it needs to heal itself, and getting regular adjustments to prevent damage to the spine and nervous system.

LED Infrared Light Therapy

LED Infrared Light Therapy… Fight Pain and Speed Up Healing!

You may not know about the amazing uses of LED infrared light for common injuries and conditions that cause people pain, nerve damage, muscular damage, and inflammation! It enhances the body’s ability to heal itself by emitting a light that penetrates deeply beneath the skin. It is then absorbed by the mitochondria of the cells. This also causes an increase in production of collagen and protein in the cells. It proves especially beneficial for chronic pain and injuries. Many patients find quick pain relief caused by debilitating chronic diseases with this technique and see improved functionality in little to no time after treatments. Damaged tissue repairs faster and stronger with the aid of LED infrared light. Not only does recent research support these findings, it supports increased functionality of the injury or area in pain as well as improved range of motion.

LED Infrared Light helps a wide range of injuries and conditions including:

-Peripheral Neuropathy        -Carpal Tunnel Syndrome                   -Sports Injuries

-Bursitis                    -Fibromyalgia                                 -Repetitive Stress Syndrome

-Tendonitis              -Bursitis & Frozen Shoulder          -Post-Operative Healing

-Diabetic foot                 -Migraines/Headaches                 -Sprains & Strains

-Tennis Elbow                 -TMJ & Jaw Pain                       -Chronic Back & Neck Pain

Call our office to see if LED Infrared Light Therapy can help you with your chronic pain, inflammation, or injury and get you back to a healthy, pain-free life!

Colloidal Silver

Colloidal Silver!

Colloidal Silver: The BOMB against Bacteria, Viruses & Fungals!!

Colloidal Silver has the ability to suffocate viruses. It can go up against bacterial strains that are hard to fight off–it literally destroys bacteria! It is incredible at fighting pinkeye and ear infections–we all know how contagious pinkeye is and how painful ear infections can be! It’s also fantastic for people who suffer from allergies. It is widely used to control sinus infections. It can be used as a sinus spray to remarkably kill bacteria, according to a 2014 study published in The International Forum of Allergy and Rhinology. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24431107/

It helps burns, cuts and scrapes, which makes it a great anti-bacterial for all those moms! It’s soothing for scrapes and cuts, so the kiddos won’t cry or the adults! Plus, it’s safe for toddlers. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce swelling and speed up healing.

Colloidal Silver is a great anti-fungal and works well at clearing up ringworm!!! As moms would say, “Thanks Colloidal Silver! You are the Bomb!”

I recommend using the Genesis Pure brand, because it is completely 100% organic, non-GMO. Genesis Pure’s products are included in leading Physicians’ Desk Reference for their high-quality, whole health benefits.

Double Crush Syndrome or Carpal Tunnel

By Dr. Amber Voitenko

doublecrushPinched Median Nerve…

Identifying the reason why one has symptoms is important when it comes to carpal tunnel. Double crush syndrome can be the reason why one has wrist pain. Double crush syndrome is often misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel. Double crush syndrome can be treated successfully with chiropractic care and innovative muscle therapy, such as Rapid Release Technology, Active Release Technique, or FDA approved Cold Laser.

Before surgery for carpal tunnel one should look into the possibility of the problem of a compromised median nerve in the cervical spine. This can be due to an old whiplash injury, bad posture in the work place, and even osteoarthritis.

A thorough examination, as well as x-ray and even MRI studies, doing specific neurological and orthopedic tests can help identify the problem.

Kinesiology Tape: Does it Work?

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on December 16, 2018
with no comments

applying-tape-neck-4-no-borderTaping, Taping and more Taping…

Olympians, triathletes, volleyball players, and weekend warriors use kinesio tape and claim that it helps them perform. So what does the tape do for these athletes? The purpose of  kinesiology tape is to improve circulation, support muscles, and help heal and prevent muscle injury. The tape allows freedom of the muscle to move creating circulation, which brings oxygen and nutrients to that area of the body being taped.  This aids to speed up the healing process.

This tape was designed by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Chiropractor and acupuncturist. He believed a flexible tape would create better circulation and would be less restrictive for the athlete.

Conditions of the body that would need the tape along with Chiropractic treatments include:

  • Knee pain; medial knee pain due to a tight iliotibial band and patellar pain
  • Low Back pain
  • Trigger points in the neck and between the shouders
  • Shoulders: Rotator Cuff pain or over usage of shoulder or postural improvement
  • Ankles and feet to correct pronation or supination problems
  • Areas of surgery to speed up recovery

The tape is a latex-free hypoallergenic cotton fiber material. The tape is sweat-proof so it holds strong during intense workout. It can get wet and can be worn in a pool and shower. The tape, when applied correctly, can last for three to five days.

What are the Known Causes of Fibromyalgia?

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on December 16, 2018

How can I address my Fibromyalgia symptoms?

When you have fibromyalgia it seems like there are no answers. Doctors will say that you have to live with your pain. When it comes to this complicated condition you have to address the body as a whole. Questions must get answered and tests must be done. The first line of business is a thorough consultation and exam.

Symptoms of fibromyalgia include: Chronic fatigue, digestive problems, tender points, tiring easily, sleep disturbances, as well as stress and anxiety. And speaking of stress…What handles stress in the body are your adrenal glands. They are located on top of your kidneys. They are in charge of producing steroidal hormones that can help with pain, sleep and digestion. When one has adrenal fatigue it can cause many problems with the body like sleep difficulties, fatigue, and digestive problems. Adrenal fatigue must be ruled out!

Another aspect to evaluate is digestive problems. Due to toxins in our food, air, and water, our gut wall gets destroyed and can wreak havoc on digestion. If the digestive system is not functioning well you will not be able to absorb and utilize the nutrition from your food. It can also cause toxins to leak into your system and cause disease process. There are bacteria that can also cause trouble with the digestive tract. There are specific tests that can be ran to find out if you have this bacteria. This known bacteria is H. Pylori.

Due to postural situations, repetitive traumas, and nerve interference, function can be lost and can cause unwanted pain and inflammation throughout the body.

This is just to name a few situations that can be causing symptoms to be worse for a fibromyalgia patient.

At Voitenko Wellness we do a through consultation and examination to help create a plan of attack. The goal is to create less stress on the body to help bring back quality of life.

Michael Had Been in Constant Pain…

Michael has had constant pain in his wrists, hands, shoulders, knees, and feet for years. He has had muscle tension and tightness in his low back. He attended 24 physical therapy treatments and the pain still persisted. He was taking 4 to 8 Ibuprofen a day. He also had to stop yoga practice.

Michael has now gone down to two ibuprofen per day and has less pain in his hands, no foot pain, and less pain in his shoulders and body. He’s very pleased with the chiropractic treatment plan Dr. Amber prescribed. He has received gentle chiropractic adjustments as well as vibration therapy for muscle tension and scar tissue. He is looking forward to returning to yoga practice.

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on December 16, 2018
with no comments

 

Nathan came to Voitenko Wellness desperately looking for help due to extreme body weakness, mid back pain, jaw pain, neck pain, sleeplessness, and shortness of breath. At this time Nathan’s pain allowed him very limited physical activity and he could not work, he could not drive, and he was living with family members away from his home with 100% dependency on family to take care of him. Nathan had tried various medical treatments with no success.

Dr. Amber Voitenko was able to restore his health with gentle Chiropractic treatments and within two weeks Nathan was able to sleep and breathe significantly better. Dr. Amber also used vibrational therapy and other natural techniques to treat Nathan.

During the year of treatment that Nathan received from Dr. Amber, he relieved all of the symptoms listed above and he was able to drive again, work out, take care of himself, and returned home to look for a job and to enjoy a pain-free quality of life.

We would love to help you and your journey to be pain-free and healthy.
