The importance of Vitamin D

12/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Vitamin D is an integral vitamin of the body, found to be involved in many physiological processes throughout the body. A deficiency can lead to many health issues such as bone loss, fatigue, and exacerbation of other health issues. Vitamin D deficiency has been found to be so prevalent, it's even considered a pandemic(1). 

Here in the northeast we find that Vitamin D deficiencies are even more of an issue due to the changing seasons. Because Vitamin D is produced by the body in sunlight, we have a natural tendency to test at lower levels.

Recently testing has shown that patients who test positive for COVID-19 and have a Vitamin D deficiency have more adverse outcomes (2). This could be because Vitamin D deficiency is important to the immune system.

Why it's important to not be Vitamin D deficient

Vitamin D is responsible for calcium deposits and thus important for healthy bones. It is also important for your immune system.

How can you test for Vitamin- D deficiencies

A standard lab test such as a blood panel can be completed by your PCP or outpatient facility can determine your Vitamin D levels.

How to get Vitamin D

The good news is Vitamin D is produced by the body when in sunlight. When this is not the case, many foods naturally have Vitamin D. Many fish such as salmon and sardines, egg yolks, and fortified foods such as milk, as well as meat. 

Lastly, the easiest way to get Vitamin D is through supplements. These can be purchased at many retailers as well as our office.

Auriculotherapy

5/17/2017

This weekend we will be offering auriculotherapy at our wellness fair! 

​What is auriculotherapy?
Auriculotherapy is the stimulation of specific points on the ear to induce a a therapeutic response in another area of the body. 

How does auriculotherapy work?
Auriculotherapy utilizes ear seeds to stimulate specific points within the ear to create an effect somewhere else in the body. Similar to when you get a reflex on your knee when it is tapped, ear seeds can create a symbiotic effect within your body.

The ear seeds have a time-release effect and stimulate points with light pressure for long periods. Ear seeds can be typically left on for no more than three days. The ear seeds are from the vaccaria plant which is primarily grown in China. 

What conditions do ear seeds help with?
  • Addictions
  • Hot Flashes
  • Weight loss
  • Insomnia
  • Migraines
  • Hemorrhoids
  • Neck/ Back pain
  • Other neurological symptoms

Active Release Therapy

5/7/2017

0 Comments

 
One of the most popular treatments we offer in our office is Active Release Therapy.  Although it is know by many names, the idea remains the same: to isolate specific muscles and release areas of adhesion (tight muscle). Patients find relief of treatment because of the ability to focus on specific muscles and break up scar tissue usually caused by chronic injuries.

Active Release Therapy is most beneficial for patients who are actively working out or have a chronic injury such as low back pain or tendonitis .

It has become more common to recommend additional modalities such as electrical stimulation, cupping, or acupuncture with active release therapy, as you can find your maximal benefit

​
Active release therapy is very popular amongst runners and body builders because of its relief for large muscle groups such as the hamstrings.

Cupping
By Dr. Louis Perrone
Cupping is an ancient form of therapy that utilizes glass and sometimes plastic cups for a wide range of ailments. The most common uses of cupping in our office is for sprains/strains, knee pain, low back pain, and neck pain. Cupping is a very safe and effective way to help release tension at a joint as well as bring increased blood circulation to a particular area.
Cupping provides an alternative soft tissue treatment as compared to other therapies such as medical massage and active release techniques. Instead of applying pressure to a particular area, we are utilizing a vacuum effect by pulling the tissue externally. Most treatment plans consist of about 5-6 visits to find the optimal effects of cupping.
Side effects of cupping include possible bruising in areas of treatment. Cupping is not recommended for patients on blood thinners.

Recommended cupping treatments
Calfs - recommended for runners and post-leg day workouts
Trapezius/ Neck muscles - for release of trigger points, headache relief
Low back- chronic/acute low back pain
IT band/ TFL
- cups are placed on the lateral portion of the thigh for relief of IT band syndrome
Shoulders - can help alleviate frozen shoulder symptoms and tendonitis
Extremities - Helps with relief of sprains/strains
