LUMBAR DISC BULGE TREATMENT IN NADIPATHY Our spinal cord comprises of many bones known as vertebrae, each of which is separated by a disc. The disc is wrapped by the many layers of strong connective tissue.  In the middle of the disc comprises a jelly like substance which is capable for flexibility. When this jelly like substance leaked from the disc due to tear in connective tissue, it is called lumbar disc bulge.                                           Lumbar disc bulge most commonly occur in people, who have heavy work on sitting and bending positions. The lowest disc of the spine (L5-S1) is most commonly affected with the disc and (L4-L5) is the second most problem.

Acupuncture ™  and Nadipathy™ A traditional medicine with an origin of India. It is the based on the theory that energy called, chi flows through and around your body along pathways called meridians. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles into patient’s skin at specific points of the body. These needles are inserted at specific points to stimulates, disperse, and regulate the flow of vital energy, and restore a healthy energy balance.             The acupuncture therapy explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of yin and yang of the life force of energy through the meridians (pathways) in the human body.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease? Degenerative disc disease is one of the most common causes of low back pain.Disc degeneration is a natural part of aging and over time all people will exhibit changes in their discs consistent with a greater or lesser degree of degeneration. However, not all people will develop symptoms. In fact, degenerative disc disease is quite variable in its nature and severity. Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine, or lower back, refers to a syndrome in which a compromised disc causes low back pain. The disc itself does not have a blood supply, so if it sustains an injury it cannot repair itself the way other tissues in the body can. An otherwise insignificant injury to the disc can start a degenerative cascade whereby the disc wears out. Despite its rather dramatic label, degenerative disc disease (DDD) is fairly common, and it is estimated that at least 30% of people aged 30-50 years old will have some degree of disc space degeneration,...

Cosmetic acupuncture is done in the same fashion as acupuncture done for general health and specific conditions, with the goal of creating collagen just under the skin to help fill in wrinkles and plump skin, similar to the results of Botox, Restylane or plastic surgery. Like traditional acupuncture, the cosmetic version also aims to balance the body’s energy and create a sense of well-being. “It fills in wrinkles and increases the collagen production in areas that need it, like frown lines, smile lines and smoker’s lines around the mouth,”. “In addition, the color and texture of the skin brightens and soothes and sagging gets lifted in a natural way. It’s not like a surgical facelift because it’s not that drastic.” While most patients seek out the procedure to improve their looks and erase some of the toll time takes on all our faces, they find an added bonus in the increased sense of well-being that comes along with acupuncture.
