Equipment For Racquetball

!±8± Equipment For Racquetball

Here is a list of racquetball equipment items and other things that may assist you in your racquetball game:

Racquetball Glasses (eyewear) - Not an option!! Everyone MUST wear eyewear on the court. Don't play with anyone who doesn't! The ball suctions on contact, and let's just says you don't want it hitting you in the eye. If you are considering tournaments, know that you must wear approved eyewear that you can compete in. They would have to be approved by the USA Racquetball Organization that sanctions the tournaments. All approved eyewear have polycarbonate lenses.

Benefits of a Polycarbonate Lens:

- Recommended for children because of its incredible strength.

- The strength means that it is incredibly hard to break.

- Highly scratch resistant.

- Thinner than the usual glass or plastic lenses.

- Material itself is lighter than glass and plastic.-

- Used in many applications, such as "bullet proof" windows, because it adds such great flexibility and strength.

- Offers ultraviolet radiation protection, cutting out around 99% of these potentially damaging rays from the indoor lighting or direct sunlight when playing outdoor racquetball.

The differences you will find among racquetball eyewear is how much lighter polycarbonate is and how much it helps prevents fog from occurring. They all put an anti-fog of some sort on all eyewear, but they don't prevent as much as we would like. Some eyewear will have vents in the lenses to help prevent fog

Racquetball Racquets - You have many options here. From a low-end racquet made of aluminum that will bend when you hit the walls to high-end performance racquets that will never hold your play back. All racquets are made of their own technology that is comparable to other high-end racquets. They can be a heavier or a lighter frame. Their balance points will be different from one racquet to another.

Some racquets are customizable to fit your game. There are so many options in getting a good racquet starting at and up. The much higher-end racquets that would contain a manufacturer's latest technology would start at 0 up to 0. Racquets can come up to two different grip sizes.

One thing to remember about grip size: If you purchase a bigger grip you may not be able to go down in size but you can go up in grip size. E-Force and Gearbox have interchangeable grips, and you can take the grip down if it was the bigger grip size of the two.It is a good idea to have two racquets that are the same. If you broke a string or the racquet and had to go to a completely different racquet during play, this could hurt your performance.

Your playing style is used to a racquet after playing so many games. You will want to demo a racquet so that you can make an informed decision about what racquet you would like to play with. You want one that works for you and your playing style. A demo you could use for a week is a good way to find out if it is a good racquet. If it is an older racquet, a demo may not be available. Give us a call; we can talk about options for you to demo.

Racquetball Shoes - Not having racquetball shoes could cause you to not perform at your best. Wearing shoes outside and bringing those same shoes indoor to play can cause you to slip, also, not good for the indoor court's floor. I've been in courts that are not properly maintained and that as well can cause you to slip. For this reason, I like to carry Python's Anti-Slip Posi-trac.

I would never use running shoes to play racquetball. They do NOT give you the lateral support you need to play this sport.

A good test to see if you are wearing good supportive shoes for Racquetball:

1. Are you wearing gum-soled shoes?

- This would help grip the floors better.

2. Take the shoe you are wearing to play racquetball and hold it in both of your hands and hold the front side with your left hand and the back of the shoe with your right hand. Now twist back and forth. Is the center buckling and twisting? Not a good sign. That is a clear sign that you don't have good lateral support.

3. In this test you are also going to use two hands. Hold one shoe in both hands. Take your stronger hand and hold the rear bottom part of the shoe; above the sole. Now squeeze. Do you find it hard to squeeze? If so, that is a good sign that you have a shoe that can prevent you from rolling your ankles. One of the challenges many people face is buying racquetball shoes. Your best option is online at one of the major retailers.

Racquetball Kits - You can get kits that contain a racquet, eyewear, balls, and some will have water bottles. This would be recommended for beginners who are learning the game. Wilson, Head, Gearbox and Ektelon all offer racquetball kits. Wilson also offers a racquetball kit for kids 2-10 years old with the Sponge Bob Square Pants theme behind it with Sponge Bob racquet design, eyewear, water bottle, and ball.

Grips and Enhancements - You can go with a slip-on rubber grip or a wrap grip. The wrap grip will be more comfortable but less durable. The slip-on grip is more durable and would provide a bit more grip enhancing. With a slip-on rubber grip you will more than likely use a glove as this grip becomes very difficult to hold on when you start sweating.

One of the best ways to keep your glove lasting longer and in better condition is to wash your hands before you play. This helps get rid of all the leftover oil that is still on your palms.

Racquetball Gloves - The main purpose of a glove is to get a better grip on the handle. There are different types of gloves. Some will have padding for the diving player to protect the knuckles. Some will have more leather instead of pads to protect the diving player. Some have a mesh or ventilated material for quick drying. It's a tough spot to be in when your racquet is slipping in your hand. You will lose power and control when you can't eliminate the racquet slippage. We would also recommend that you always wash your hands before putting your glove on. Cleaning your hands would get the oil off of them that builds up over the day.

Strings - When it comes to strings there may be some things you want to think about:

Gauge of string (16, 17, or 18):

The 16 is going to be the thicker of the three. It will be the most durable but less responsive. This is for the hard hitter who swings fast. The 18 is the thinnest; it will be the most responsive on contact but least durable. Someone looking for more control who has a slower swing will use an 18-gauge string. A player using an 18g is going to be someone who doesn't break string often and is looking for that extra playability. I coach a lot more than I play so an 18g is ideal for me. If I ever want to get out there and play, I am going to be happy with the performance of the string.

Tension is another factor of play you want to think about. Our recommendation is to string your racquet at a 4 lbs. difference from mains to crosses. Your power will come from the mains and your control comes from the crosses of the racquet. Rex Lawler, also known as the String King, has tested all sorts of tension; and he found that the 4-pound difference worked best for racquetball. The range would be anywhere from 28-38 on the mains and 32-40 on the crosses. By raising the crosses 4 pounds you add a bit more control without eliminating any of the power. Everyone has a preference for his or her style of play. It may take a few different string jobs to get a feel for what you like.

Racquetballs - There are different balls you can play with. Some are designated for outdoor racquetball and some are for indoor play. You will find that the outdoor balls are played indoors, but are faster and take some inconsistent bounces.

Ball Options:

ProPenn Balls - Only balls made in the USA

ProPenn HD - Official ball of the Men's Pro Tour and the US Open. Penn high-performance engineers joined forces with the top professional players in the world on the International Racquetball Tour to develop the ultimate racquetball. They came up with a ball that has better visibility, lighter weight, and softer feel as results of this effort. Personally, this is my favorite ball. I notice the lightness and find it easier on my body.

Penn Blue - More people choose the Ultra-blue racquetball for its long, lively, consistent play.

ProPenn Green - The Official Ball of USA Racquetball makes the ProPenn the most widely used ball in tournament play. The bright green color has great on-court visibility and consistent speed, playability, and durability.

ProPenn Ballistic 2.0 - Designed for outdoor racquetball with increased durability, maximum visibility, and ultimate speed. If you play indoors with this ball, be ready for lightning fast play.

Ektelon Classic - Official ball for the National Master Racquetball Association and Classic Pro Tour. It is a slower ball with greater visibility. This is ideal for longer rallies and training workouts.

Ektelon Blue - Popular reliable blue ball for all players offering a softer feel.

Ektelon Fireball - Official ball for the World Outdoor Racquetball Organization. Specially designed to withstand the demands of outdoor play. Designed for fast action play.

ProKennex Yellow - Designed for outdoor play. These outdoor balls are designed for faster, livelier speeds. The bright yellow color will make them easier to follow on the court.

ProKennex Blue - Two Pressure-less balls in a can that are specially designed for faster, livelier speed.

Wilson Titanium Green - This is a lively tournament quality ball that is consistent and long lasting.

Wilson Championship Blue - Perfect speed for all levels of play.

Wilson Hope Balls - This ball was designed by women for women. These balls are medium speed and are great on the court for consistency and visibility. A percent of all sales is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 2 balls per can.

Racquetball Bags - Bags come in different sizes. Most companies offer at the minimum three options, and other companies offer as many as six options. All bags will fit racquets comfortably. 90% of bags will have enough space for clothing, shoes, balls, and just about anything you want to throw in your racquetball bag. Ektelon has bags that are perfect for travel as they have wheels on them and act just like luggage.

Racquetball Clothing - The more common clothing that players are using is made of dry-wick material. Dry wick keeps you cool and comfortable, unlike cotton that sticks and drenches and can make you uncomfortable. You can get racquetball clothing from Head, Ektelon, Gearbox, and E-Force.

Socks - My recommendation would easily be Thorlo socks. They are great for all activities. They are designed to help protect your feet from the damaging effects of impact, shear, and blistering common to playing racquet sports.

Shock Absorbers (Dampeners) - They help change the sound on contact. Dampeners are also used to help eliminate vibration on contact.

Anti-Slip Spray - Your best option to help you not slip on floors is to have shoes that are not used outdoor but ONLY indoor. In some cases you do come across courts that are not well maintained. In this case I would recommend some Python Anti-Slip spray.

Headbands/Bandana - Racquetball is such a great cardiovascular workout and causes you to sweat a lot. Sweat begins to get in your eyes and it causes discomfort and it interferes with your play. We recommend wearing a headband or bandana for this problem.

Wristbands - You can use wristbands to help wipe the sweat out of your eyes and off of your forehead and other parts of your body.

Anti-Fog Spray - When you sweat, your goggles/eyewear have a tendency to fog up. If this happens to you we would recommend Anti-Fog spray to help prevent this.

Bumpers and Grommets - Over time your bumper and grommets will go bad from hitting the wall. The only way you can replace them is when you are getting your racquet restrung.

Racquet restringing - My advice... if you play three times a week you should get your racquet strung three times a year. As your professional stringers, we look over your racquet completely...making sure it is in good condition for restringing and string it up. We ship it out or you can pick it up the same day.

Instructional Videos/Books - There are good options available to you in order to take your game to the next level. It starts with you and what you want out of the game and what you are willing to put into the game. If you are willing to take time every day, week, and/or month to better your game...IT WILL HAPPEN. With some goals, practice, and determination you could take your game to a level that, right now, is not imaginable for you. Call us if you would like to talk about this further in setting goals and putting together a plan. Who knows, you may some day be a national champion in your age group!

Always stay tuned to our website for some good content on the game and how you can better your racquetball skills. Honestly, if you are someone who wants to stay tuned into racquetball I would bookmark our website and come back often. Another item that has helped me a lot as a current Junior and Collegiate Racquetball Coach at Indiana State University is Fran Davis's Building YourRacquetball Dream House DVD. I played the VCR copy on our TV at the store, and I heard it in the background a lot. That has helped me very much in coaching and as a player.

Also, if you are into reading, one of the first instructional books that I really learned a lot of the mechanics from was Woody Clouse's book Winning Racquetball: Skills, Drills, and Strategies that I read and practiced with it in mind. You can find this at Barnes and Nobles.You can also read and study Percentage Racquetball by Darrin Schenck, who was the USA Racquetball 2008 Coach of the Year. Stay tuned to our website for the link to the book. They are available and you can order it at anytime. Call 800-875-3701Another book on instruction is E-Force's Real Racquetball by Tom Travers and Dr. Tim Miller.

Entertainment Videos - If you ever want to watch racquetball at its ABSOLUTE best, watch the Professional Racquetball players in action. It is amazing!! You can buy any of the US Open Racquetball Championships from the last three years on DVD.

Arthritis Relief - Old Folk Home Remedies

!±8± Arthritis Relief - Old Folk Home Remedies

Arthritis is an inflammatory disease which affects the joints in the body. Deterioration of the joints usually begins at the age of 30. Most people over the age of 50 suffer from this disability. It can make movement difficult and painful and affect your social life and lifestyle.

Causes and symptoms

Heavy physical activity leading to severe joint injury, excessive body weight, strenuous exercises such as basketball, long-distance running, etc. performed for many years are all causes of arthritis. The disease affects more women when compared to men due to the hormonal changes in their body during menopause. Some environmental factors such as damp conditions can lead to arthritis. Food allergy, unhealthy diet and stress are some other major causes. There are several types of arthritis and the common symptoms include:

Tenderness in and around the joint, pain and stiffness. Difficulty with movement. Joint redness and warmth.

Home Remedies

Massage can be a great way to relieve the pain caused by arthritis. Apply a small amount of biofreeze to painful areas. Biofreeze is natural pain reliever that that can help you reduce soreness and pain. A mix of Thyme, Sage, Lavender, Juniper, Garlic, Sassafras or Rosemary with olive oil, 10 parts, can be used to massage the joints. A daily massage with a mix of mustard oil, 200 grams, and camphor, 10 grams, is an effective treatment. Keep the oil mixture out in the sun for a while before use and also ensure that the camphor dissolves well. Mix camphor, eucalyptus oil, menthol and methyl salicylate to make a mixture. You can rub the mixture in for aches and pains. Another good rub can be made from oil of witch haze, rubbing alcohol, eucalyptus oil and wintergreen, 2 oz. each. Mix, shake, and rub on ache. Wrap red flannel around the painful joints can aid in curing arthritis. The wrap must be left overnight for maximum benefit. The inflammation and swelling caused by arthritis can be reduced by drinking a cup of fresh pineapple juice. Soak black sesame seeds, a teaspoon, overnight in water, about a quarter cup. Consume the seeds and water the next morning. Another easy home remedy to ease inflammation and joint stiffness is taking bath in water mixed with 4 tablespoons of Epsom salt. Before you got to bed drink a mixture of the juice of an orange and cod liver oil. Drinking a glass of warm water mixed with 2 teaspoons honey and apple cider vinegar twice a day can give a lot of relief. Six ounces of sassafras root steeped for 24 hours in a fifth of whiskey can be taken everyday up to 3 times before meals. Boil a half gallon of water and steep a cup of alfalfa seed for 20 minutes. Strain the water and store in a jar. Take a small glassful 3 times everyday. Take a spoonful of fresh carrot juice mixed with lemon juice everyday. Eat healthy and drink plenty of water.

Heel Pain

!±8± Heel Pain

Anyone undergoing pain in the heel should seek advice from his or her healthcare provider in order to get a definitive diagnosis. Heel pain can be caused by many contributing factors and should be diagnosed by a healthcare professional. In making a definitive diagnosis, x-rays will be needed. Once the diagnosis is made and the causative factors identified, treatment can be started.

Some of the most common causes of heel pain are, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, infection, tumor, cyst, and fracture or stress factor. The plantar fascia is a very dense connective tissue that stretches from the heel bone (calcaneous) to the heads of the metatarsal bones.

Most often heel pain will be attributed to either plantar fasciitis or a heel spur. The heel spur may be a result of the plantar fasciitis. Other causes of heel spurs are, constant trauma to the heel, where the individual engages in a sport that constantly applies a pounding to the heels. Occupation, where excessive walking or standing all day on a hard surface can contribute to the forming of a heel spur. An individual's walking posture and the shoes they wear are very important as well. As we age there is a tendency for the heel pad to atrophy and there is less protection for the heel bone and the stresses it undergoes.

All of the above causes can be classified as biomechanical because of the stresses placed on the feet. To treat the actual cause, it must be identified and eliminated entirely if at all possible, or if that is not feasible, it should be partly eliminated. If the individual is a professional athlete, or say a postal worker, they must use the proper shoes. Where a heel spur is shown on x-ray, the patient should use a heel pad insert specifically designed for those with heel spurs. These are pads with a cutout in the center that allows the pressure to be taken off the area of the heel spur.

If there is a weakness in the longitudinal arch, the patient may need a custom orthotic support. When the longitudinal arch is weak the patient may try taping for a week or two before seeking an orthotic from their healthcare provider. For taping use an ace bandage, and apply in a figure eight configuration around the arch. The patient should also try exercises to strengthen the feet. A simple exercise such as bringing the body up and down on the toes for 2 to 3 minutes several times a day can be very effective. The patient can also use tubing that is easily obtainable. Place the center of tubing around the front of the foot (metatarsals) and hold both ends by winding around each hand. Pull tubing and then push the foot down and back. Repeat for 2-3 minutes, several times daily. This will stretch the plantar fascia. The patient can also use a golf ball under the foot and just roll the ball back and forth and all around. This is an easy exercise that can be performed while reading or even watching television.

When there is pain, swelling and inflammation present, the patient can help reduce the pain, swelling and inflammation by taking the following measures. Use a pan large enough to accommodate the foot. Fill 3/4 full with cool water. Add a 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Soak the foot for 20-30 minutes. After the soak, rub in a good analgesic gel. Biofreeze® is such an analgesic gel.

To learn more about Biofreeze®, go to: www.doctorsexercise.com and check under products. This procedure can be used 3-4 times daily.

Following the above procedures can greatly eliminate foot pains. If the pain still persists, a visit to your healthcare provider is highly recommended.

Create a Dance Competition Checklist

!±8± Create a Dance Competition Checklist

Competition, nervous anticipation, and butterflies come hand in hand. You think about your performance, and also if you have packed everything you need. If you are prepared with a checklist ahead of time you can stop fretting about forgetting something and let your hard work and many hours of dance practice shine through. Being prepared will help you perform at your highest level. Moms, dancers, cheerleaders, and teachers have all weighed in as I compiled a list of must haves for performance weekends. These seven categories will guide you to ensure you don't forget anything you need to make your experience the best you can at your next performance.

Makeup: Makeup is a crucial part of a dancer's appearance. You'll need to have the makeup to execute the look that your studio owner/director/ or cheer coach has planned. It is important that a dancer's makeup to be water-resistant, highly pigmented, and long lasting.

Select the products you plan to use on your skin with care. On a performance day you are going to be wearing your makeup look for a long time. You certainly don't want to end the weekend with your skin irritated or broken out. You should use hypo-allergenic/non-comedogenic, talc and paraben-free products that are as naturally derived as possible for the best results. Pack all of your application tools, such as foundation brushes and sponges, as well as your makeup brushes for lip, eye, blush, and brow to ensure a smooth application. If you are using JAM cosmetics, bring a small water dropper bottle with you. You can use it to turn your black eye shadow into a water-resistant, smudge-resistant eyeliner.

Beauty Aids: You'll be cleaning and caring for the skin that will be in makeup for long days of performing. This means you'll need makeup remover wipes, tissues, cotton pads, moisturizers, and skincare products. If you know that you have a razor and shaving cream packed it will spare you the panic when you realize you have forgotten to shave! And of course be ready for a broken or torn nail with a nail clippers and file, nail polish remover, and clear nail polish.

Hair Products: Having hair gel, hairspray, hairnets, and bobby pins will allow you to keep your hair in order. If your look requires hair pieces, hair jewelry, or hair glitter double check that you have packed them in your bag as well. Finally a spray bottle of water, brush, hair dryer, and curling iron will help you complete your hair. Well executed hair will eliminate one more distraction between you and your performance.

Costume Stuff: Check that you have all of your costumes; this includes the head/arm/leg/and body pieces. You'll need all the jewelry or props you may be responsible for. Spare yourself from having to tear through bags or ask everyone around you when a fabric emergency hits, pack a mini sewing kit and thread that matches all of your costumes. This sewing kit needs to include needles, safety pins, and scissors.

Make certain that everything stays in place, not only on your costume, but also on you by packing not only hot glue or super glue, double sided tape, and body adhesive. Rips, scuffs, or snaps are no longer a worry if you pack shoe polish to match your shoes, spare tights in the appropriate color, and a spare set of clear and tan bra straps.

First Aid: To guarantee that the occasional bump, scrape, or pain won't take you out of your game, you have to come with the correct first aid supplies. Antacid, Tylenol, and Dramamine are good basics to start with. In addition clear Band-aids, Neosporin, Icy Hot/Biofreeze and instant ice packs can be very helpful. And also remember to pack an ace bandage. When performing in an ace bandage cover it with foundation so it matches your skin and so it will draw as little attention as possible.

Food/Drink: Resist fast, easy, and unhealthy food that will weaken your performance by having snacks on hand. Water and juice boxes will help keep your energy up through the day. Food that is portable and won't stain such as veggies, granola bars, cheese sticks, raisins, trail mix, or goldfish are good choices.

Miscellaneous/Comfort Stuff: Being relaxed and comfortable allows you to perform better, so don't forget the "extra" stuff. Make your down time more relaxing with a pillow, blanket, warm-ups and slippers or flip flops. Remember to pack pens, a notepad, an iPod, and magazines for quiet time you may have in between performances. Because you will be in a busy venue packing extra tissues for the bathroom, in case your location runs out, has the potential to make your day much more comfortable.

When preparing a bag for a competition the list of things to remember is long and wide-ranging, but having the things you need will make for a much better experience. Make certain you have everything you need to perform to your peak level. In order to be prepared and successful at your next event please view my complete competition checklist.

Natural Gout Treatments - 3 Natural Remedies You Can Use to Help You Get Rid of Gout

!±8± Natural Gout Treatments - 3 Natural Remedies You Can Use to Help You Get Rid of Gout

Do you take prescription gout medications?

Are you still waking up at night to agonizing attacks despite taking your pills?

Would you like to find a better answer for how to get rid of gout?

The answer can be found using natural remedies. Unlike popularly prescribed medicines, these remedies do not have any risky negative side effects.

Here are three natural treatments for gout you can use as a regular part of your diet.

1. Strawberries

Strawberries help get rid of gout in a few ways. Strawberries contain quercitin which helps reduce swelling. Quercitin has properties which slow the creation of uric acid thereby slowing or preventing painful swelling. Strawberries also have a high vitamin C content. Studies show adequate levels of vitamin C can lower uric acid levels by 10-15%. They consist of high levels of flavonoids which also decrease swelling.

2. cherries

Cherries are infamous for their abilities to treat this arthritic disease. They treat this condition at every level by reducing inflammation, by turning uric acid into a liquid so it can be excreted, and by lowering long term amounts of uric acid.

Cherries are very heavy in anthocyanins, but amazingly strawberries contain even more. Combined with healthy levels of quercitin to lessen inflammation, cherries are a great way to lessen painful joint swelling which is the hallmark of gout pain.

Cherries contain fiber. Although the fiber content is not high, when combined with a high fiber diet, cherries help you lose weight which is one of the main common factors for those who suffer gout.

3. blueberries

Like cherries and strawberries, blueberries also have the flavonoid known as anthocyanin. Anthocyanins have strong anti-inflammation capabilities. Try frozen blueberries as the government performed a study which showed frozen blueberries having higher amounts of anthocyanins than fresh blueberries.

Blueberries also have vitamin C, although not nearly as much as strawberries or cherries. Again, Vitamin C decreases uric acid levels and has been shown to neutralize the crystals caused by hyperuricemia thereby reducing gout pain.

Potassium is also an integral part of blueberries ability to get rid of gout. Potassium helps to turn uric acid into solution allowing the body to eliminate the extra crystals in your joints.

Cervical disc protrusion

!±8± Cervical disc protrusion

A bulging disc is another term for a bulge or a cervical disc, and can be a very frustrating condition to treat. Not only can it be very painful, but it can also compromise the ability of a person to their normal daily activities.

In this article, which is a bulging disc, the most common symptoms associated with causes, and three tips you can use at home for relief.

To understand what a herniated disc, which weshould first discuss the normal anatomy of an intervertebral disc. The discs of the spine are in each set of bones in the back, and whose main purpose is to act as a cushion between the bones.

Each disc has a hard outer shell and a jelly in the middle and the two parts of the disk are very important for several reasons. The outer shell gives the disc and the power of the center is where the gelatin disc stores oxygen and nutrients to the dischealthy.

In the case of a bulging disc, the outer envelope of what disc is influenced by the weakness and tears. For this reason, the jelly starts in the middle for the weak, the move creates a bulge in the disc.

What is interesting is that the discs are not destined to feel pain. That sounds a bit 'strange when you live with this condition, because you know that this can be incredibly painful, but think about it - because theMain aim is to hard to absorb the shock when the disc can cause pain, you should feel pain with every movement!

Then, because this condition is so painful? Now, when a disk bulges, it tends to bulge in the back where the nerves exit the spine. The protrusion of the disc tends to put pressure on these nerves, which can be very painful.

Not only these nerves control everything in your body, so it is very common for a person other symptoms associated with the experienceaffected nerve.

For example - in the case of a bulging disc, is very common for a person, symptoms such as neck pain, headaches, shoulder pain, arm pain, hand pain, arm weakness, chest pain, problems with thyroid, etc. Experience

All these symptoms can occur simply because the nerves of the neck to control all these areas of the body.

So, now that we have determined what is a bulging disc, we want to discuss their causes, and then we'll talk about someuseful things you can do from home for relief.

The most common reason for a bulging disc is a traumatic experience - a type of injury, like a car accident, a slip and fall, lifting something too heavy, etc.

However, it is also common that the disks of the spine over time through small injuries that worsen over time added. This progressive deterioration will lead to a bulging disc after a certain time, and because the disk does not experience feelings of pain, it isnot feel that until the problem is now so bad that on my nerves.

There is also a genetic component of this condition (where the discs can be born with weaker), and a relationship with the toxins. For example, people who smoke, drink too much alcohol, poor diet, etc. tend to be more likely to develop conditions of the disc.

Well, let me give you three simple things you can do from home for relief. These suggestions are not only simple and effectiveThey are very cheap.

The first recommendation I would make is that you can use ice for relief. This is actually the fastest way to experience relief and is very effective if you follow the steps that follow you in a minute sketch.

But first, let's discuss why you want to use the ice for relief. Remember when I said earlier that the cause of pain, pressure on the nerve? Well, if you have pain, your body is actually going through a process calledInflammation.

The area is swollen and the body is a lot of blood on the tip of the aggravated nerve to heal. Well, the blood is hot, so that the area will be hot. If this is the case, you really want to put something hot on it? Of course not - ice is much better option because it will numb the nerves (the weight), and provides slow swelling, faster relief.

To be effective ice, follow these steps: Use real ice (not frozenVegetables), and put ice directly on the skin (do not place a towel or clothing under the ice). Leave the ice on for up to 15 minutes, or until you feel numbness in the area - whichever comes first. Finally, repeat the treatment every hour ice as often as possible.

If you are in line with this, you will experience relief within 3 days usually. In the case of a bulging disc, it would be ice on the neck, and where you livePain.

The second thing I would recommend you do is control your sleeping position. Want to sleep with a pillow under your neck while you, because the force is more than one pillow to flex the head forward, which puts a lot of extra pressure on the discs in the neck.

Also be sure to sleep on your back or side - never on the belly. If you sleep on your stomach, you have to turn your head to breathe at night, which is also a difficultLocation for the discs.

My last tip for this product is that it uses a gel called Biofreeze. It is a pain relieving gel which can be found online, and is typically 4 or 5 hours of relief. I recommend that you use the Biofreeze about half an hour before bedtime, and throughout the day, if you are not able to ice during the day.

Biofreeze has an herbal remedy called ilex, reduces inflammation of the nerves and muscles due to relaxation. The end result isRelief. However, it is important that I let you know that there is very strong, with a thin layer of gel on the area you start the treatment, and if you think you can tolerate more, and then apply more.
