Herniated Discs & What Causes them

A herniated disc occurs when the outer portion of a spinal disc breaks down and the inner potion leaks out.The inner portion of the disc that extrudes can then irritate or compress nearby nerves, causing radiating pain.A spinal disc acts as a shock absorber between the vertebrae of the spine, and allows for movement in the spine. The durable outer portion of a disc, called the annulus fibrosus, serves to contain the soft inner portion of the disc, the nucleus pulposus.The majority of herniated discs occur in the lumbar region of the spine.

Therapeutic Solutions – Hydration

Therapeutic-solutions LLC, Newport News, VA 2016Here in Newport News and all over Hampton Roads, we’ve experienced days well over 100 degrees this summer. In short­ it’s been a hot one. Although the majority of us enjoy the hot summers over the ice and snow during winter, we definitely need to be aware of our water intake during the summertime. Hydration is not only important for keeping you comfortable and cool on a hot summer day, it is also very important for your body to operate properly. Water accounts for 60% of our body weight because it has multiple functions and some major responsibilities in keeping our body healthy. For example, water carries nutrients and waste products between our major organs, it helps to regulate our body’s temperature and lubricate our joints that act as a shock absorber. Water is essential for our muscles as well. Muscular aches and pains throughout the day or sometimes waking you up in the middle of the night can actually be caused by mild to medium dehydration. If you are dehydrated you may also suffer from headaches, constipation, sleepiness, muscle fatigue, or dark yellow urine. Water should be your first line of defense! Try to take note while you’re having fun in the sun at...
