Coughing and Can’t Sleep?

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on January 20, 2021

Don’t forget the tea tree…

This cold and flu season has been challenging on our immune systems this year. Tools are what one needs to fight off the bugs. Some helpful tips to battle these bugs!

We have all heard how stress affects our immune system.  Our nervous system is our computer that controls all function. If it has too much stress it crashes leading to illness. Physical stress is a big problem for the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments can help the body’s immune response! It helps take the stress off the body!!!

Another problem is a blocked lymphatic system. This is another reason the body gets ill. Simply massage from the ear down along the neck to the clavicle. Then massage under the clavicle from the sternum out to the shoulder. Then massage from the medial clavicle down the sternum on both sides. This helps to create movement of the lymphatic system. Flushing the system out! See video above.

Another great choice is oregano, it acts as a natural antibiotic. We have a special formula that contains oregano.

If one has a cough, in a diffuser you can add 3-5 drops of melaleuca, also known as tea tree oil. Melaleuca is known to have properties to help fight off viruses and bacteria.  When used in a diffuser one is inhaling the melaleuca, so as to get it into the lungs. Very good for a persistent cough!!

Boosting your immune system is another way to fight off infection. There is a specific formula we use at Voitenko Wellness that helps stop the virus from jumping from cell to cell and mutating. It’s a natural herbal approach that is very affective.

Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Injuries

January 20, 2021

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.

Kinesiology Tape: Does it Work?

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on January 20, 2021
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.

Can Digestive Problems Lead to Disease

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on January 20, 2021

Leaky-Gut-Syndrome (1) What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

 Disruption of the gut lining can be caused by food intolerance, alcohol, stress, anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, candida, fatty acid deficiencies which lead to disruption of  the gut wall.  The disruption of the gut lining leads to improper absorption. Food is seen as an invader causing antibodies to be produced, inflaming the gut wall. Multiple food intolerances cause these antibodies. These antibodies form a complex with food, then are deposited in gut tissue which lead to gut inflammation.

An inflamed gut causes nutrients and waste to leak from the gut and worsens improper absorption and more antibodies are produced leading to leaky gut syndrome.

Signs of leaky gut syndrome include digestive issues like bloating, gas, diarrhea, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Seasonal allergies or asthma can also be a sign. If you have hormonal imbalances like polycystic ovary disease or PMS, an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, celiac disease, psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis, or if you have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or candida, these are all indicators that you may be suffering from leaky gut syndrome.

The solution to repairing your gut is to have a clean way of eating. You want to focus on an anti-inflammatory diet. Simply put, your diet should consist of protein, vegetables, and a little bit of fruit. You should avoid grains, dairy, prepared and processed food products, as well as meats with antibiotics or hormones. There are other foods that may need to be avoided as well depending on one’s health history. There are certain supplements and vitamins that can help speed up the repair of the gut wall.

At Voitenko Wellness we do a through consultation and examination to help create a plan of attack. The goal is to create optimum health to help bring back quality of life.

What are the Known Causes of Fibromyalgia?

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on January 20, 2021

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.

  2. Ginger is another wonderful choice. It can be put into dishes to spice it up. You can make tea with ginger. You can also eat it pickled! Ginger can boost metabolic rate up to 20% in three hours.
  3. Apples contain pectin which boosts metabolic rate. Also a great choice for an antioxidant! It fights free radicals, which can cause damage to the body leading to disease. “An Apple a day keeps the doctor away!”
  4. Strawberries are also a good choice as they aid in digestion and help in the bowel.
  5. Almonds contain manganese, copper, and riboflavin which aid in metabolic rate. Almonds also contain essential fatty acids that reduce inflammation and levels of “bad” cholesterol.

Hope this helps to give you some good ideas for snacks and foods that put your metabolism in the fast lane!
