Chronic Back Pain Relief In Las Vegas


Chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas in dealing with the cycle of pain and muscle spasms goes like this - Let's say you have chronic back pain and a muscle goes into spasm. White blood cells are sent by the body to this muscle, thus not allowing oxygen and nutrient carrying red blood cells to get there. Not only this, but waste cannot be removed from these cells, either. (Yes, this is a very simplified version of what actually occurs as I don't want to get all technical.)

Now what may occur is a cycle between pain and spasms. The injury that you sustained causes the nerves to send a signal to the brain, which interprets this as 'pain or danger.' What happens next? The brain and body are one, wanting to survive, thus the brain then sends the signal to the body to lower the amount of blood flow to the injured area. Lack of blood flow then causes more pain, swelling and causing the area to spasm even more. This is where chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas comes into play with heat therapy and ice therapy.

Thus, to summarize as I do with my Summerlin Las Vegas massage clients who are in acute pain, your mind and body gets stuck in this pain and spasm cycle. They feed off of each other. This is where both ice therapy and heat therapy work in regards to chronic back pain relief in Vegas or any other injury or pain you may be suffering from, or may suffer from in the future.

You may also have emotional ties to your physical pain as well, so if you would like to visit our page here Emotional Freedom Techniques In Las Vegas you can learn how to clear these also. You also need to know that 'pain' is in the brain so to speak, and here is yet another way to relieve it. If this techniques interests you, here is a page with the actual protocol, Emotional Freedom Techniques Las Vegas style.

Chronic back pain relief Las Vegas style explains that heat therapy and ice therapy, in this context, are very similar and can do the same thing - they shock the body into breaking the cycle of pain and spasms. Heat therapy allows more circulation, bringing more blood into the injured area, thus cooling it down. What else does this accomplish? Waste removal, along with an increase of oxygen and nutrients. Thus, the healing of the tissue can occur. Ice therapy produces the same results - the brain and the body rushes more blood to an area that once again provides the 'warming effect' and promotes healing for treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas.

But what about that pain/spasm cycle? Either method mentioned above can also 'turn off' the nerves that send the pain signals - heat relaxes them, cold numbs them. When the brain doesn't receive the pain signals, it doesn't act to contract muscles and constrict blood flow. After applying heat therapy or ice therapy consistently and continually for a certain period of time, the pain-spasm cycle is broken for chronic back pain relief Las Vegas style!


Treatment For Chronic Back Pain In Las Vegas
With Heat Therapy And Ice Therapy
Which Is Best?


Treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas using heat therapy and ice therapy - If they both do the same thing, which is better to treat pain and include in our treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas program? I'm not a fan of 'strict rules,' so I typically have my Summerlin massage clients do the following:


  • When clients first injure an area, I recommend ice therapy first. This holds true for both acute (recent) or sub-acute (old flare up) injuries and chronic lower back pain such as sciatica. It's also important to use ice fast, as quickly as possible. Within 5 minutes is best. You can apply ice for the first two to three days. Use a thin barrier for the ice so it's not directly on your skin, and cycle on and off, 20 minutes at a time.
  • Whenever the swelling has decreased and that nasty pain and spasm cycle has been broken, you can begin stretching the injured muscle with the appropriate exercises. Remember, you must get that blood flowing! The 'old' recommendation is to wait a couple of days prior to stretching an area, but as a certified Medical Massage Therapist In Las Vegas I recommend stretching and exercise to increase blood flow as soon as possible for chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas. Once movement of the area begins, you can use ice therapy or heat therapy. Most Summerlin massage clients begin warm up with heat, finishing with ice after an activity is completed for best results and quicker recovery.

  • Summerlin Las Vegas massage professional Kris Kelley recommends as an advanced treatment, a contrast bath. Apply 20 minutes of heat followed immediately by 20 minutes of ice. Repeat three times for treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas. The contrast really shocks the body and gets it out of the pain and spasm cycle.

Chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas - In this section Summerlin Las Vegas massage professional Kris Kelley wants to review the various way you can apply ice therapy and heat therapy.

Treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas - Ice Therapy. First, chemical ice packs are available, but I don't recommend them to my Summerlin massage clients or anyone else. I've actually seen these burn peoples skin, and if you keep reading you'll find much more effective (and less expensive) ways to use ice therapy in treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas.

Just use ice and a cloth for the barrier if you don't have any other supplies. Again, time is working against you; get the ice on the injured area within 5 minutes for best results.

A favorite of mine is to get a styrofoam cup, fill with water and freeze, then apply. The styrofoam allows you to hold it without freezing your fingers; as it melts, break off or peel back the styrofoam to get the ice on your injured area.

At my Summerlin massage office I can also order for you ice packs, pain creams that use Menthol, providing a cold sensation and work great for chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas.

Another method is to use a plastic bag with crushed ice with a small bit of water. Remove all of the air from the bag and then zip it closed. Even with this plastic bag you will still need a barrier, so wet a paper towel, put it on the injured area, then apply the bag of ice for treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas.

One important point and then I'll proceed to the use of heat. You want a secure contact between your injured area, the barrier and the ice. Compression is important as this will also reduce the swelling. Elevation is also important. Elevate the injured area if possible for best results for treatment for chronic back pain in Las Vegas.

When in Summerlin Las Vegas massage school we used to use this, and it may assist you in remembering the value of ice as well: RICE = Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.


Chronic Back Pain Relief Las Vegas


Chronic back pain relief Las Vegas - Now let's talk heat therapy. As a Las Vegas massage therapist, I've recommended many forms of heat therapy. There are heating lamps, heating pads, hot tubs, hot showers, pain creams and even ultrasound, which is a form of heat.

Summerlin Las Vegas massage knows what you are going to ask, which works the best?? Personally, I love the hot tub for chronic back pain relief Las Vegas style. Fortunately I own one, and please keep this in mind, going to a community hot tub is like taking a dip in a cesspool (you can look up the definition).

Moist heat therapy is very beneficial and as a Summerlin massage therapist I highly recommend Hot Stone Massage In Las Vegas. Not only will you benefit from the moist heat, I can apply apply some deep tissue massage along with the hot stone therapy in Las Vegas to ease your aching muscles for chronic back pain relief in Las Vegas!
