"Connective Tissue Specialists”:  Connective tissue includes ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage that provide support to every system of the body.   Imbalances of the body can cause pain.  We help correct the imbalances of the body which result in tightness or over stretchment and stress in the body.  This stress can also be transferred to internal organs.  Combined manual therapy is an alternative for back and neck pain and the following: Carpel Tunnel Chronic Myofacial Pain Fibromyalgia Insomnia/Sleep Disorders Joint Pain Low back pain Migraines Neck Pain “Pinched Nerve” Posture Restless Leg Syndrome Sciatica Shoulder Pain/”Frozen Shoulder Spasms Sprains/Strains Sports Injuries Stress and Tension TMJ Tennis Elbow Whiplash   Treatment includes gentle manipulations of the spine and body.  It is a special system to reduce pain in joints and muscles—the musculoskeletal system.  Treatments are complemented with different physical exercise and nutritional advice.  Dr. Arnold-Chody has also studied “Trigger Point Therapy”.  This therapy is considered safe and often an effective substitute or complement for drug-based pain relief.  Treatment can also include modalities:  warm or cold packs, LLLT = low laser light therapy.   In Mayo Clinic’s September 2008 article Myofascial trigger point therapy related to 90% of the locations of classical acupuncture points.  It also explains that 95% of these corresponding points are used for the same types of pain.  Even though the two treatments arose independently of each other, there is a similar phenomena.  Trigger point therapy was recognized in the early to-mid 1900s.  It involved injections, manual pressure, electrical stimulation and other techniques to relieve muscle and connective tissue (musculoskeletal) pain.  The Mayo Clinic study was published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine in May 10, 2008.  Dr. Arnold-Chody treats trigger points with manual therapy and LLLT (low laser light therapy).  [Link to the Microlight laser poster]   Local Barrington, IL, woman helped by Naprapathy… Link to story of Kathy Simonik, 52, Barrington, IL, treated by Naprapathy which aired live on Fox’s Morning Show August 9 and on MSN.  Also featured in Prevention Magazine, September 2007 Issue.   http://kathysimonik.com/pages/naprapathyoga.html   See video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAByjNuNOOo   SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH FOR NAPRAPATHY   Naprapathy works better on back and neck trouble than recommended advice from doctors.  The study is the first major investigation into naprapathy.  The published results in the Clinical Journal of Pain, show distinct differences in favor of naprapathy.
