Chiropractic Perspective on Sleep

We all know the importance of a good night’s sleep. If you toss and turn all night or never go to bed on time, you feel like a zombie the next day. Your productivity declines, you become more prone to mistakes in your work, and you just feel sluggish. As for driving in Los Angeles traffic while half-asleep -- well, the risk there should be obvious to anyone.

Sleep deprivation does more than just make you feel bad or perform poorly -- it can actually jeopardize your health. People who regularly get insufficient sleep put extra stress on their bodies, impairing their immune systems and inviting acute or chronic illness to take over their lives. But you may find it impossible to sleep well if your mattress and pillow do not support your back and neck properly. Cheap, lumpy mattresses and pillows cannot give your spinal column the balanced weight distribution it needs. This can result in back pain, neck pain, headaches and fatigue from inadequate sleep. So much for that eight hours doing you any good!

Located in Los Angeles, Dr. Jill Harrison is the practicing acupuncturist at the Pain Relief Center which is headed up by chiropractor Dr. Thomas Marinaro. It is the goal of the Pain Relief Center that you live a life of health and wellness that is free of pain and discomfort. Acupuncture is a therapy that has been performed for thousands of years and it offers a holistic treatment option like chiropractic or massage therapy to cure ailments, back pain, and other issues.

How Acupuncture Affects the Body, Mind and Spirit

In order to achieve health and wellness, the body, mind and spirit must be working in harmony. This is the core tenet of Chinese medicine; treating the mind, body and spirit through this form of therapy can help bring the body back into balance, prevent disease and to rid the body of pain, discomfort and disease.

Simply put, acupuncture is the insertion of tiny, thin needles into the body for therapeutic and health purposes. It is considered an alternative or complementary form of medicine and is one that often yields very effective results.

The human body wants to be in balance and to be pain free. An acupuncturist treats the cause of the condition working to restore the body's homeostatic balance thereby allowing the body to rid itself of the condition or ailment. Each carefully placed needle is inserted in an certain point to increase, decrease, redirect or influence the body’s energy and blood helping it to correct its balance.

Our chiropractor, Dr. Marinaro, understands that there are many forms of therapy that can work together to help you live your best possible life. He may suggest that the acupuncturist, Dr. Harrison, be consulted in addition to your chiropractic therapy in order for you to be free of back pain or any other conditions.

Our clinic serves the LA area as well as Beverly Hills. Call us today, we are eager to help you live your life to its fullest here in Los Angeles or wherever you may go.

Massage Therapy in Los Angeles

Massage is well known as an excellent means of relaxation, but many patients are not aware that there are additional benefits besides the "feel good" one! For example, manual therapy can help to lower stress levels, which in turn helps patients stay healthy and feel good. According to "Newsweek," massage has been found to reduce Cortisol in the body. This hormone appears during times of high stress and can cause illness since it lowers the body's immunity. Hands-on therapies reduce the Cortisol levels so patients have a better chance to stay healthy and avoid illness!

Research has also shown that massage can help keep patients at healthy blood pressure levels.

Patients who get regular massage treatments have proven to have healthier blood pressure levels and avoid blood pressure spikes. Manual therapy can be a natural way to keep blood pressure under control for many patients.

Massage can be a very helpful way to reduce pain for our Beverly Hills patients. Since massage is such a "hands on" type of treatment, the real cause of the pain is accessed right away, rather than simply medicated with prescriptions that may be ineffective or harmful. Any patient who seeks relief from the pain of a nagging injury, a sports injury, an auto accident injury, or any other type of persistent pain issue should call us at Pain Relief Center today to schedule an appointment.

What is your favorite type of massage? How often do you get massages?

The Pain Relief Center of Los Angeles is one of a popular location for homeopathic medicine in the LA area. We focus on chiropractic treatments and homeopathic medicine, both natural methods of treatment and rehabilitation. Homeopathy originated over 200 years ago in Germany and is used by many people in America today. Homeopathic medicine, like chiropractic, believes that the body has the ability to heal itself.

We have a number of celebrity clients from the Beverly Hills and Los Angeles areas. The fact that individuals, with the means to go anywhere in the world for treatment, have chosen the Pain Relief Center says a lot about the effectiveness of the chiropractic care we provide.

Homeopathy, as an alternative medicine, has been used to help with a number of health problems like pain, sleeplessness, and anxiety. It can also be used as a preventative method, as well as means for maintaining overall wellness. Conditions and diseases including fatigue, ear infections, depression, headaches, and allergies have been effectively treated with homeopathic methods. Homeopathic methods are natural and do not produce any side effects, like prescription medications oftent do. We meet with patients individually to assess their condition and select the appropriate course of treatment.

If you have questions about homeopathic medicine, please let us know. Our chiropractor, Dr. Tom Marinaro, has a doctorate in Homeopathy and is experienced in providing patients with homeopathic treatments. In addition to homeopathy, Dr. Marinaro offers chiropractic care to treat patients suffering from chronic headache, fatigue and pain. For certain patients, Dr. Marinaro may use a combination of chiropractic and homeopathic treatment methods to help patients experience optimal pain relief and rehabilitation. It is important to have balance in the body, and homeopathy is one method we use in our Center to help patients find that balance. By restoring balance to the body, patients can attain optimal health and wellness and feel great.
