What is ‘wear and tear’?

Thu, Dec 22, 2016

If you have ever had an X-ray or MRI, you may have been told you have “wear and tear”. What is wear and tear and what is its cause?

Wear and tear is the same as osteoarthritis, degenerative joint disease, or spondylosis (if in the spine) and can be used interchangeably. Osteoarthritis is when the top layer of cartilage breaks down and starts to wear away. Cartilage is a protective layer covering the bone which lets your joints move smoothly. When it wears away, you can experience pain, swelling, and reduced motion. The joints most commonly affected are the spine, hips, hands, and knees.

Neck and back relief with Care Cure Acupuncture

Thu, Nov 03, 2016

Chronic pain in the muscles and joints of the back or neck can make life miserable. Standard anti-inflammatory treatments, physical therapy, and medications can sometimes mask this pain but at Care Cure the team are more concerned with finding the root cause and treating the pain from there so that it does not come back.

Acupuncture combined with Chinese massage is Care Cure's most effective treatment for patients suffering from various forms of body pain. Acupuncture treats pain in a variety of ways, the most direct being to encourage the brain to release natural painkillers called endorphins. Releasing endorphins relaxes tense muscles and delivers fresh blood to the area where the acupuncture needle is inserted. Chinese massage removes toxins from the body and eases pain pressure.
