Herniated Disc? Don’t Jump into Surgery

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

 Being diagnosed with a ruptured or herniated disc does not automatically mean that you will be needed spine surgery.  About 50% of patients with herniated discs in their lower backs tend to make a full recovery within one month.  Only about 10% of patients who suffer extreme lower pain consistently for over six weeks will surgery be discussed.  There are three different operations to consider when discussing spine surgery with your physician.  A Discectomy is the actual removal of the herniated disc material pressing on the nerve root; a Laminotomy relieves the disc pressure rather than removing anything; and a Percutaneous Discectomy is performed for bulging discs that have ruptured into the spinal canal.

Strengthening my nails at home

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

I have been on the market looking for a good product that I can use at home to strengthen my nails. In the past, I suffered from a nail infection that left my nails feeling dry and brittle. I want a product that I can use daily from home, preferably one that you can just brush right onto your nails. Of the nail strengtheners on the market, there seem to be a couple brands that people use most often. I am also wondering if there are any side effects. I have heard that overuse can lead to discoloration of my nails.

Finding Effective Headache Remedies

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Headache Remidies are really a dime a dozen and unless you find the one that is going to work for you, you might as well just go ahead and look for a pharmaceutical cure. It is a good idea if you take pain medication if the headache is severe and you’re unable to handle it. More than likely, however, you’re going to want a way to deal with the headache permanently and this can only be done by using a natural remedy that gets to the root of the problem. Ignoring the pain is not the way to go, use it as a guide to help you solve the problem.

Salon’s Need Rolling Equipment

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

Being able to move larger items easily is a great benefit not just for staff but for customers as well. Moving tables and stands that are not on wheels or are not made to move can cause injury to employees and can cause delays for customers. Choosing portable salon equipment will allow employees to prepare work stations easily and customers will never miss a beat of service. This type of equipment will also make it easier on cleaning crews when it comes time to move the items for proper floor and wall cleaning. No one will get injured by trying to move an item that is too heavy all they will have to do is roll it out of the way.

Eating Disorders Are Prevalent Among Teen Girls

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Teenagers are most likely to suffer from an eating disorder. Girls have eating disorders more frequently than boys. This is most likely because there are so many models out there quite thin today and these are the role models our teen girls are looking up to. Eating Disorder Clinics are taking on more and more patients each year with various eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia. It takes medical care and intense therapy for someone to come into remission after suffering with an eating disorder. Further, it is never known if the person is “cured” because so many of these patients fall back into their same pattern of behavior.

Alternatives: Liposuction Without Surgery

Monday, November 10th, 2008

It is, I suppose, a normal human desire to want a perfect shape, or a perfect face, or a perfect…well, you fill in the blank with the body part or parts with which you are most dissatisfied!

I learned of a technique that shows promise for liposuction without surgery - laser liposuction. It sounds interesting. It is not, however, liposuction in the classic sense.

Like ultrasound treatment, laser ‘liposuction’ melts the fat under skin and the fat then dissolves into the surrounding tissues, so it is more of an ablation technique than classic liposuction. Still, it sounds extremely interesting - especially if it allows me to get back to work right away.

How To Spot Colorectal Cancer Early

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Millions of people die worldwide due to some form of cancer. Colorectal cancer happens to be one of the most common types of cancer that usually goes unnoticed in the early stages either due to absence of symptoms or due to presence of symptoms that are very common. Some of the most common early colorectal cancer symptoms include:

· Abdominal pain or discomfort
· Diarrhea, constipation, or change in bowel habits
· Vomiting
· Blood in stools
· Narrow or dark stools

If you are above fifty and are suffering from any of these symptoms, you must see a doctor immediately and undergo the required screening tests for proper diagnosis.

Cohesive Gel Implants Are Taking the World by Storm!

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Health after a certain age naturally becomes harder. My aunt had a double mastectomy after they found cancer in her breasts. I just read about the cohesive gel implants that women all over the world are saying feel more natural than the silicone-filled implants. Many feel that these implants, which are also called the gummy bear implants because they have that consistency, are much safer than the silicone and saline-filled implants currently available in the U.S. Even when cut with scissors, both pieces stay in tact. This takes away the danger of them leaking out into your body. The gummy bear implants are not available in the U.S. European plastic surgeons have been using them for over fifteen years. The FDA is still conducting testing.

Children’s Allergies

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

If a child has nasal allergies, the parents play an important role in helping to figure out what exactly is causing the symptoms. Further, it is the parent’s job to limit the exposure to allergens and helping the child find relief from their symptoms. Forty percent of children in the United States suffer from chronic nasal allergies. It is important to determine if the allergic symptoms are being caused by indoor allergies or outdoor allergies, and then to pinpoint exactly what is causing the outbreak. Minimize the child’s exposure to the allergen to make them the most comfortable. In this way, medication can be used minimally.
