We have a great line-up of articles coming your way in 2013. We love it when you share them with your friends. Here is a teaser list of coming articles:

High Heels-What is the Cost?
We will show you how prolonged use of high heels can cause not only foot problems, but knee and back problems as well. Also, how high is too high?...and not the cost of the shoe!

Vibracussor!
Dr. Nunez has a new massage tool to battle deep muscular issues. It's called the Vibracussor which has revolutionized our practice.

In April of 2012 we introduced the Vibracussor and have received rave reviews from our patients! It loosens up nearly 80% of your tense muscles, then the final 20% of the treatment is addressed manually. It is considerably less painful for you and me. If you haven't been in for a treatment lately, you must come in and try the new and improved Dr. Nunez!

NERD AND GERD
Many people are familiar with Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) which we have successfully treated for some time. Now there is another condition called Non-Erosive Reflux Disease (NERD) which is reflux of stomach acids into the esophagus that don't cause damage to the esophagus. Medical professionals don't know what causes it and agree it's difficult to treat. However, the treatments that 3D Chiropractic does on the stomach and intestines often help these conditions!

THE STOMACH WHISPERER
This article will discuss the how and why 3D Chiropractic can treat many digestive problems, in the stomach the small and large intestines as well! Also, how to reduce blood pressure, gas and bloating, and improve circulation to the legs and feet by working through the stomach area!

VERTIGO
Vertigo is a terrible problem for many people and very difficult to treat with traditional medication. With 3D Chiropractic and our unique Pressure-Plus-Motion techniques we can control many of the symptoms and restore health and balance to your body.

PAIN, TOLERATE OR ELIMINATE?
Many people are taking medications to mask or reduce chronic pain. Covering up pain is never going to cure the problem; it simply allows one to Tolerate the pain. 3D Chiropractic's 30 years of experience along with a comprehensive consultation and examination enables us to get to the bottom of the problem and Eliminate it.

ZOMBIE MUSCLES—ALIVE BUT NOT HEALTHY
Just because a muscle is not painful doesn't mean it is healthy. The problem is Zombie muscles are too weak or too tight to function properly! When is a hard muscle healthy and when is it not?

So, fasten your seat-belt and get ready for an exciting ride thru 2013 with 3D Chiropractic as your guide to a healthier you.

Keep on going for the best in all you do.

Love you all,

Dr. Nunez

Steroids vs 3D Chiropractic

Chiropractic Monthly - October 2012

If you are like so many of my patients, you have been reading a lot in the news about the terribly tragic cases of Fungal Meningitis. As of the date of this article, this disease has taken the lives of 14 people and sickened hundreds more.

Click below for News Video on Risks of Infection

These people didn't get meningitis (an infection of the brain or spinal cord) from the typical pathway, but by contamination of Epidural Steroid medication that is injected into the spinal canal for chronic and severe low back or neck pain.

Although this outbreak is an unusual circumstance, it brings into focus the fact that "whenever one takes medications for pain management, orally or by injection, they increase our chances of side effects." These side effects may not be seen immediately, but could take months or even years to accumulate in the body. Eventually the level of toxicity can lead to mild to severe symptoms, in some cases even death.

It saddens me when I think of those people who had the chronic back pain, had tried all the conventional medicine, physical therapy, even some chiropractic treatment, all without relief or long term effect. They felt they had no other option but to inject steroids and now they are no longer with us. What a tragedy.

It breaks my heart when you and I know 3D Chiropractic's method is a leap forward in healthcare. It is different than conventional chiropractic methods and is proven to work when all else fails.

I'd like to end with a story of a patient not unlike many we've helped over the years. They were one month away from a scheduled surgery. This was to relieve severe back pain and leg pain from a very large bulging disc in the low back. Understandably this was causing them enormous pain and affecting daily life. They thought this was their last resort since nothing else was helping.

Whenever they sat for more than five minutes they got tingling and numbness down their leg as well as emotional tension. They were at their wits end when a friend, just like you, told them to call us and look into the 3D chiropractic technique. They did come in; I took a detailed history and found many past injuries. I felt these could be a possible cause of their pain. I recommended and they agreed that if in 30 days we could get 30% relief they would put off their surgery and let us continue working for greater relief.

That was over two years ago and now this patient is able to enjoy life and fly around the world without any leg or back pain! Needless to say they are very happy.

Please forward this newsletter to anyone you know who is considering steroid treatment or surgery due to chronic pain. Then ask them to read it and call us with any questions they may have. We love helping people who didn't think they could ever be well again.

The details and specifics can be found in my book How to Keep the Chiropractor Off Your Back! The second edition will soon be available for sale in my office and on my website.

If you or your friends have Sinusitis symptoms, excessive drainage, pressure, or congestion, please call us to set up an appointment and get ready to throw out your meds!

Keep on going for the best in all you do.

Love you all,

Dr. Nunez

A Few Facts...

Acetaminophen overdose if the most common cause of Acute Liver Failure (ALF)!

ALF causes over 56,000 emergency room visits each year, 2,600, hospitalizations and more than 500 deaths.

The most common medication that is taken by millions of people thinking that it is safe is Acetaminophen the generic name for Tylenol.

How? Many people are told by advertisers via TV, radio, online and magazines to take Tylenol, Motrin, Aleve, etc. for pain relief and soreness from work, exercise or normal daily living activities.

The problem comes when people don't read the insert's fine print, these medications should not be taken for more than five to seven days in a row or you should, “see your doctor or pharmacist”. For the average adult taking these for five days that is a staggering (30 doses)!

Have you actually read the insert? Of course you assume that If the medication is sold OTC, over the counter, it must be safe. As you can see, people keep taking medicine for headaches, body aches, cold symptoms, back pain etc. and it builds up to a toxic dose. It's not always safe!

Sinusitis, Chiropractor Heal Thy Self!

Chiropractic Monthly - July 2012

It has certainly been a while since my last newsletter. Did you miss them? I hope so. I will try harder to get them out more often in the future. For now please enjoy this months issue.

Some of you may be wondering why a chiropractor is writing about sinusitis? It's simple, I too have suffered from sinusitis.

I'd like to tell you the story about Pam, a patient who came to me after a rear-end car accident that, she stated, didn't really bother her that much. After talking to the father of one of her students, who said she really ought to have it checked out, she decided to see me. During her exam I found that she was only mildly injured, and that she did need some brief treatment. In passing she said she had chronic Sinusitis* that required daily medications to treat. She explained that it was particularly bad twice a year, around spring and fall, causing her to be miserable if she didn't take her meds. I told her that we had had good success treating sinusitis and she was willing to try anything so she wouldn't have to take medicine every day.

*Sinusitis refers to inflammation of the sinuses that occurs with a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection. Symptoms: The classic symptoms of acute sinusitis in adults usually feel like a cold that does not improve.

After just a short time of treating her and giving her home exercises to do, Pam reported that her Sinusitis symptoms were nearly gone! Now Pam only comes in for a rare tune-up and says, "I never would have believed it but I am living proof!"

How did we do it? Well, that is the rest of the story. You see, in our practice, I don't want people to believe I can help them; I want people to understand why I can help them. That is why we are doing these newsletters. If you understand then you can explain it to others who are suffering and help them too when they come in.

I actually discovered this technique as a result of my own past severe Sinusitis. Not wanting to take medications due to my always wanting to find alternatives if possible first, I analyzed my symptoms and found that they were worse a day or two after heavy physical activity. I also noticed that I often had a bad headache at the base of my skull on one side, usually the left, after a game of golf and that the pain in the head was on the same side as my sinus drainage.

I realized that the muscles that attached there were the same muscles that are involved in chest breathing, especially the SCM or Sterno-Cleido-Mastoid muscle. I theorized that the inflamed SCM was irritating and pulling on the Occipitalis muscle which in turn was pulling on the Galea Aponeurotica, essentially your scalp, which in turn was pulling over the head all the way to its insertion point at the eyebrow.

The Frontal sinus is located just above this point in the forehead. I found that the constant tension at this point caused irritation to the sinus lining leading to excessive drainage!

I worked on these muscles then iced them and practiced my belly breathing. This was combined with a regimen of Pressure-Plus-Motion and relaxation techniques. This worked beautifully to solve my symptoms.

The details and specifics can be found in my book How to Keep the Chiropractor Off Your Back! The second edition will soon be available for sale in my office and on my website.

If you or your friends have Sinusitis symptoms, excessive drainage, pressure, or congestion, please call us to set up an appointment and get ready to throw out your meds!

Keep on going for the best in all you do.

Love you all,

Dr. Nunez
