• American Spinal Shiatsu Massage

    Posted on October 9th, 2010 admin 1 comment

    Spinal Shiatsu massage the most widely used method is the United States, organized the highest level of an alternative therapy, but also health-care medicine in a rapidly developing branch. Its principle is in good health to rely on, or at least to some extent, depend on the normal function of the nervous system. “Spinal Shiatsu Massage” (chiropractic) the term derived from the Latin word “cheir” and “prax-is”, the former means “hand”, which means “to implement”, literally translated as “hand treatment.”
    Spinal acupressure doctors believe that the body’s own kind of wisdom can the body back to health. Thus they believe that many are due to imbalance in the body and the environment caused by incompatible. They do not have drugs or surgery to treat functional disorders, pain and disease, but rather to find the human body can not properly functioning musculoskeletal region, and to correct it. Such treatments typically include fine way to adjust the spine, massage, nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes, exercise, and many other kinds of natural therapies to enhance physical and emotional health.
    Why should we adjust the spine? Person’s spine is composed of a series of vertebrae, pelvis and played down to the skull. There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves from the brain down the spinal column has been cis extension through a series of gaps between the vertebrae. In these nerves leave the spine of the Department to form a complex network, affecting the body’s fibrous tissue. Many everyday activities can cause these kinds of changes in location of the vertebrae. At this time, a chain reaction occurs, thereby affecting the spinal cord, nerves, muscles and soft tissues. If the vertebrae prolapse, it will force the body some of the nerves, causing the dysfunction. Even a slight nerve root compression, nerve conduction will be hindered in large part the quality and quantity, and whether it caused numbness and pain. Vertebral dislocation will be right muscles, tendons and ligaments under strain.
    Spinal Acupressure massage designed to reset the dislocation of the vertebrae to relieve pressure on nerves and muscles in order to improve physical function. David Chapman Smith (DavidChapman-Smith, 2000) in his book “spinal acupressure technique” (TheChiroporacticProfession) writes:
    Similarly, the spinal acupressure method to adjust the joints and compression, which aimed not only at eliminating dysfunction of the muscles and bones to expand the joint range of motion, reduce pain, but also to restore the normal function of the nervous system. Spinal acupressure doctors assumed that the approach can improve the dynamic equilibrium (homeostasis or the balance between the various systems), thus affecting the whole body functions, enhance the body’s immunity against the disease so that patients feel good recovery. This knowledge also need to be more powerful evidence of the practice, but it is consistent with the theory of modern neurophysiology, and be able to explain the efficacy of therapy in clinical generated.
    This conclusion has not been fully made clear spinal acupressure massage of specific treatment principles. There are many doctors that the therapy has to correct the role of dislocation of vertebrae, and some physicians think that massage can open up channels of energy run. There is a saying that the push to squeeze between vertebrae, which can restore vertebral movement, vertebrae movement will be slight changes in the nerves of the spine have a huge impact. Whether these theories is persuasive, spinal acupressure massage has really relieved the suffering of tens of thousands of patients. However, required a more extensive study before we can make a kind of effect for its concluding observations.
    Shiatsu massage for the spine’s condition, as the body’s nervous system is that all is not the same. Therefore, the spinal acupressure physicians and general physicians have the same reliance on palpation, X-ray, laboratory analysis, consulting, past medical history to understand the basic method to diagnose the illness. In addition, they also implement a standardized, comprehensive structural inspection of the law, pay special attention to the arrangement of vertebrae condition in order to diagnosis the illness and determine the appropriate treatment. This overall structure and function of the spine for the inspection of law is to make it distinguished from a sign of other health-care treatments.
    Acupressure massage the spine and chronic fatigue
    Living in the hectic modern society has made many of us, muscle tension, muscle tension has a negative psychological impact. This might explain why there are so many to resort to this therapy, the patient felt the pressure and anxiety.
    For some reason we can not fully understand the pressure and anxiety attacks are always the weak part of the spine and cause pain, such as the head, side of the head, neck and back pain in the Ministry, as well as large areas of muscle tension. Pain in these areas in turn increase the pressure, causing pain got worse. Why is it so? Because when you feel pain, physical and mental will to withstand a considerable degree of pressure, you may be concerned: it will affect my ability to work, sleep quality and sexual life? This kind of pressure so that the activities of the nervous system increased, increased activity, in turn, enhance your subjective feelings of pain.
    We have reason to say on the pain (physical and psychological), disease and death anxiety in advance will also engender stress and anxiety. Spinal acupressure physicians and psychologists often see these patients. In other words, fatigue is not only a result of stress, anxiety, pain caused by their own will be under pressure due to early concerns, anxiety and pain arising. For this reason, spinal acupressure massage treatment aimed at reducing the symptoms of muscle and bone to prevent it leads to physical or mental illness, the emergence and increasing.
    You may not think this treatment is still the treatment of chronic fatigue, right? However, if your life is stressful and over, you feel the pressure too much, spinal acupressure massage can definitely help you to relax the body. In fact, tension, stress and anxiety, often manifested in the spine area, therefore, accept chiropractic later you will have less pressure and energy to restore feeling.
    Massage process itself can also relax your mood. Tension to be released at the same time, psychological problems and wound between the brain often brings to mind past. At this time, you will have the desire to open to talk and express your annoyance is an important step in changing unhealthy lifestyles.

  • Since when aging men

    Accelerated pace of modern life, urban people work pressure, prone to physical function decline, sub-health conditions. The same time, people also “fed warm thinking lust” and therefore especially concerned about the decline of sexual function.

    Since when aging men? Large individual differences in sexuality, and some 50-year-old or 60-year-old on the complete cessation of sexual life, while some 80-year-old also has a strong sexual desire.

    Male sexual aging occurs mainly due to degenerative changes in testes, followed by causing the brain, pituitary, adrenal and sexual function will also change. Men generally from 50-60 years of age, with age, testicular interstitial cells can be gradually aging and degenerative changes occur, so that a significant reduction in the secretion of testosterone, testicular volume is also relatively reduced gradually in different organs of the body at this time aging, sexual function also gradually decline. Testes shrink after the age of 60 more apparent, it can be said that testicular function of male sexual function decline plays a key role.

    Penile erection older men take a long time and the need to increase the amount of direct stimulation to the genitals. After the 60-year-old male penis erection strength and volume of ejaculate usually have different degrees of reduction. Good physical and robust body to maintain good sexual function is extremely important. In addition, other factors can not be ignored, such as social, psychological, and so may affect the person’s sexual function.

    Vision: eye lens thicker and noticeable vision loss, focusing not allowed;

    Hair: scalp hair follicles to reduce hair thinning, hair growth is slow, and some began to appear bald;

    Frequency of sex life: reduction in the number of sexual impulses. Average annual frequency of orgasm for 30-year-old no less than 100 times, 40-year-old no less than 80 times, 50-year-old no less than 60 times over 60 years of age is not less than 50 times;

    Erectile angle: 50-year-old men before the age of 25 when compared with slightly lower angle of erection is normal, but he’s obviously low, then the description is over-aging;

    Oxygen and endurance: strength decreased significantly. Such as: 70-year-old man strength is only half the 20-year-old man;

    Lung function: chest bones became stiff. Control the increasingly heavy burden of respiratory muscles. Breathing more hazardous substances remain in the lungs;

    Cardiac function: ability to regulate the heart become low, the number of beats per minute lower than the highest standards of value;

    Hearing: tympanic membrane thickening, shrinking narrow ear canal, the ability to identify pairs of tones, especially for high-frequency sound more and more difficult to identify;

    Fat: a gradual increase in the proportion of body fat, there accumulation phenomenon, muscle and organ larger proportion of fat content;

    Musculoskeletal: muscle atrophy and weakness occurs, bone degenerative changes occur.

  • Physical indicators of failure are not necessarily disease

    failure is not necessarily physical indicators of disease
    Medical reports in a single index is not compliance need not panic, this does not necessarily sick. You see, every physical item must be checking a number of indices, then the natural conclusion also integrated a number of indices, in order to illustrate the problem.
    Near the end of the year, the unit is the wave after wave of organized physical time. Many people continue to get the medical examination report of shock, “platelet high” mean? Indicated blood disease do? The long-term vegetarians “and low-density lipoprotein” is not even
    Mody will be high? … … Is not within the normal range of the indices have to let me see gripped with horror.
    In fact, just an index of non-compliance, not enough to conclude that health problems, but should be consolidated results and the B-blood, electrocardiogram and many other test, and my medical history, only final conclusion.
    The medical report of the final conclusions of physicians conducted a review of your situation, it is worth considering the content. If you consider the existence of certain diseases, doctors will be specified in the conclusion suggested review or further examination.
    A medical report in the index for non-compliance of the project, as well as some technical terms, she made answer:
    Part1
    Lipid Check

    Cholesterol / triglyceride / low-density lipoprotein
    Representative of plasma in the fat content, these three indices, the lower the more beneficial to the body.
    Physical examination the previous week’s diet of these three have different degrees of impact, in particular, the “triglyceride” a great impact, followed by the “cholesterol” levels, once again the “low-density lipoprotein.”
    1. Mild High
    If only slightly elevated, the doctor suggested that light diet, more exercise normal; if significantly increased, in addition to light diet, more exercise, it is recommended you go to cardio-cerebral vascular specialist treatment. These physicians will be in the final conclusions of the examination shows that if you do not particularly pointed out treatment, indicating there is no disease, should not be too nervous, pay attention to diet, more exercise will do.
    2.
    Low-density lipoprotein
    Among them, “low-density lipoprotein” (hazardous to health “bad fat”) deserves a high degree of attention, it reflects the entire fat metabolism, to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, assessment of value. If it is cardio-cerebral vascular disease, the target must be controlled at 2.6 below; if it is combined with heart disease (ie, at the same time with two or more cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases) even if it is only normal index above 0.1 would have to take the relevant lipid-lowering drugs .
    3.
    High-density lipoprotein
    Some hospitals will also add location “high-density lipoprotein” (the body good “good fats”), then the index the higher the better.
    Part2
    Routine blood test

    Many people who get the medical report, blood tests more or less some sub-standard. In particular, packed inside a number of indicators confusing. In fact, no blood diseases, healthy volunteers were primarily concerned about the following four
    - White blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets. To check a number of other major convenience Hematologists do comprehensive diagnosis traced, a single index or a certain number of non-compliance index and can not speak for themselves.
    1. Leukocytes
    That in some parts of the body increased the possibility of inflammation, for example, you have a cold, and diarrhea are likely to affect the index.
    Reduce the difference that your immune function, which is less resistance.
    2. Red blood cells, red blood cells to reduce
    Consider the possibility of anemia.
    3.
    Thrombocytopenia
    To consider thrombocytopenia disease.
    4.
    Many projects increased
    We check the items in the blood increased in the situation can often be found, do not panic, for no other diseases, and healthy volunteers were mostly normal, because the former does not drink blood, not eaten breakfast, resulting in blood concentration, the measurement index is high.
    Part3
    Renal function 3

    The following three indices were low normal. High will have the following possibilities:
    1. Creatinine + urea
    On behalf of kidney function, if these two things have increased, more common in chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency.
    2.
    Urea
    If the urea is only slightly elevated, but he did not identify chronic kidney disease, and most are normal. If you do not worry, or do not know whether the kidney disease, you can go to the hospital to do routine urine check to see if there is no urine protein.
    3. Uric acid
    High indicates a “high uric acid,” usually drink plenty of water, less consumption of seafood and other protein-rich foods, or prone to gout, causing joint pain, kidney stones and even renal insufficiency.
    Part4
    Two pairs of semi-HBV

    1. Hepatitis B two pairs of semi-full-Yin
    Note the lack of hepatitis B virus antibody in vivo, the proposed injection of hepatitis B vaccine to hospitals, access to the hepatitis B virus resistance.
    2.
    Hepatitis B surface antibody positive
    Show that previously injected with hepatitis B vaccine, or have been infected with hepatitis B virus, the body has produced antibodies. At this point, the body of the hepatitis B virus has been unable to resist.
    Why “The proposed 3-5 years playing the first vaccine”? The role of hepatitis B vaccine because of a limited period of time.
    However, individual differences, coupled with the brand impact of vaccination can not say clearly how long it must go after the injection.
    3. Hepatitis B surface antibody was weakly positive
    “Hepatitis B surface antibody” is a weak positive, indicating that weakening of anti-hepatitis B virus, the proposed injection of hepatitis B vaccine in the hospital as soon as possible to enhance a needle, or re-vaccinated once a hepatitis B vaccine.
    Part5
    Internal Medicine

    1. Abdominal mass
    Doctors are not alone in the end mass to determine which kind of diseases. Because of the possibility of mass number, for example, constipation often people inside the intestines of bowel; that mass is the abdominal muscles and so on. Requires a combination of personal history and other checks to conclusions.
    2. Abdominal tenderness
    Abdominal tenderness with the intensity of medical doctors, and if I felt the pain a little force may be inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, also requires a combination of personal history and other checks to conclusions.
    3. Ribs touch dissatisfied
    This means that those who do not meet the physical examination, resulting in check is not ideal. “Liver and spleen ribs are not touching” however, are normal.
    Part6
    Eye

    Ametropia
    Means you are hyperopia, or myopia, or astigmatism.
