HERNIATED DISC TREATMENT
Are you struggling with pain down your leg? Did you injure your back when bending and lifting? You could be suffering from a herniated disc. The good news is that at FYZICAL, you can get the treatment you need without resorting to major surgery or relying on heavy painkilling drugs. A disc is a soft pad between each of the spine’s vertebrae. The disc acts as a spacer and shock absorber and facilitates movement in the spine. A herniated disc occurs when the inner portion of the disc pushes through a crack in the disc’s outer wall. A herniated disc doesn’t always cause symptoms. Still, when it does, it can prevent you from playing your favorite sport, driving comfortably, performing your essential job tasks, or even getting a decent night’s sleep. Here at FYZICAL, we can employ conservative treatment techniques to help you ease pressure on your spine and regain lost function in your neck, back, or extremities.

outward. The bulging section of a herniated disc may cause no symptoms as long it makes no contact with the surrounding spinal structure. If the disc pushes against nerve roots or causes inflammation of the nerve roots, it can interfere with the normal passage of nerve signals. This disruption causes you to experience low back pain, neck pain, and nerve symptoms in your arms or legs. People with a herniated disc will often describe the following symptoms: • Pain • Tightness and restrictions in movement especially bending or rotating • Numbness and/or tingling • Weakness in the arms or legs • Limping when walking • Increased pain when coughing, sneezing, or straining • Inability to stand up straight (i.e., “stuck” stooped forward or to the side) • Difficulty getting up from sitting • Inability to remain in a position due to pain • Pain that is worse in the morning and with prolonged sitting

A HOLISTIC PLAN FROM OUR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS CALL (561) 331-5508 TODAY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT!
Physical therapy can do wonders to relieve your herniated disc symptoms and help you ward off future bouts of pain or nerve problems. Your physical therapist will start by evaluating your condition carefully. We will discuss your medical history and any specific incident (such as a heavy-lifting mishap) that may have herniated a disc and analyze your symptoms in detail. Your personalized treatment prescription may call for a mix of physical therapy techniques. For instance, if your herniated disc has caused your back or neck muscles to seize up painfully, you may benefit from massage therapy to ease those spasms and make your muscles limber enough to exercise. Ice, heat, and laser treatments can also reduce pain and inflammation to the tissues surrounding your spine. Physical therapy exercises like core exercises help you build strength and stability in your lower back, thus reducing your pain and improving your function. Mobility exercises also help improve your range of motion and reduce your risks for future neck or disc-related injuries. Anything you can do to keep musculoskeletal stresses and strains at a minimum will help you ward off disc issues in the future. We may recommend lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, proper nutrition, or improved workplace ergonomics to help you protect your spine.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH: VEGAN PIGS IN BLANKETS
INGREDIENTS • 2 large carrots or 24 baby carrots • 2 tsp olive oil or other light oil
OPTIONAL DIPPING SAUCE • 1 tbsp mustard • 1 tbsp vegan mayonnaise • 1 tsp maple syrup • salt and pepper to taste TOPPINGS • 1 tsp almond milk for brushing
• 2 tsp soy sauce • salt & pepper • 1½ garlic powder
• 1 tsp smoked paprika • 1 tsp paprika powder

If desired, set aside for 15 minutes for a more intense flavour. Place the marinated carrots onto a lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C/356°F for 30 to 35 minutes until tender but not too soft. In the meantime, mix all your dipping sauce ingredients and set aside. Remove the carrots from the oven and let cool slightly. Roll out your puff pastry. If you want all your pigs in a blankets to look uniform, make sure to measure out your puff pastry and slice it into equal rectangles. Wrap carrots in puff pastry and place them on a lined baking sheet. Brush with almond milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds and herbs de Provence. Bake at 200°C/392°F (fan oven) for 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Serve with the dipping sauce or other favourite condiments.

Patient Success Spotlight
A New Year’s resolution is a promise or commitment made by an individual to themselves, and it can be anything from a pledge to stop smoking to a promise to lose weight. Achieving your goals takes time, patience, and determination. It also requires you to set realistic goals that you know that you can work towards. Setting a resolution for the New Year is a great way to set yourself up for success. Resolutions give you direction and help you get things done. But how do you set a resolution? What if the resolution is too hard to achieve? What if you don’t know what your resolution should be? It’s essential to start with small achievable goals that will lead to bigger ones. When you’re crafting your New Year’s Resolution this season, keep these 10 tips in mind. 1. Start with a list of what you want from life and the most important things to you. 2. Choose one aspect of your life that you would like to improve from this list. This could be anything from your physical fitness to learning a new skill. 3. Write down your goal every day for a month to keep yourself accountable. 4. Find someone who will hold you accountable if necessary. You might find that working towards a goal with a buddy is also more fun! 5. Break down large goals into smaller ones so that they are more manageable and less intimidating.
