Max Viberation therapy


 Max therapy is an amazing therapy for problems like frozen shoulder and osteoarthritis.

    NON – SURGICAL TREATMENT FOR BACK PAIN AND ARTHRITIS


    Life is becoming more and more busy and speedy day by day. This speed has given lot of success to mankind, but also given many curses (even at young age) like back pain and arthritis.

    Everybody suffers from back pain and/ or neck pain at least once in his life time. Similarly, arthritis is a big curse as it is just not an incurable problem but affects both young (rheumatoid arthritis) and old (osteoarthritis). Most of the patients try various treatment options but they either don’t have any effect or effect only partly.

    A newer treatment option – MAX vibration therapy from Germany has very promising results in both Back pain (and neck pain) and Arthritis. The principle it follows, that in these patients the rhythm of the body cells is disturbed; and MAX vibration machine just re-sets your rhythm to normal (which should be between 8 to 12 hertz).  The moment your rhythm is re-set to normal – pain, swelling, stiffness, spasms, joint immobility goes away. You just need to continue with Physiotherapy once you become fully alright.

    To summarize- no cut, no bleeding, no surgery, no injections, no pain killer medicines, no side effects and a pain free condition for rest of the life with just few sessions of vibrations. What else, we are looking for in chronic back pain and arthritis patients. Indeed it is blessing and most advanced physiotherapy tool of 21st century.

      Back Pain Causes: Degeneration

      I will say “Back Pain” and I am absolutely certain that your reaction will be  "I know about it….. Through personal experience obviously!”. The truth is back pain, like tooth decay and common cold, is affecting a substantial amout of people and the percentage is growing day by day.

      egeneration is a pretty commonly used word and most of you all would have surely heard it. It means deterioration which occurs with age. Its also seen more in women the main reason for it is menopause.
      Degenerative changes within the spine are the most common pathological finding noted on autopsy and on imaging of the spine. The process of degenerative change occurs in the entire population as it ages and is probably part of the normal aging process. The speed and extent of the degenerative changes appear to be influenced by hereditary factors as well as specific and continuous traumatic events that occur through a person’s life.
      Degenerative changes are most evident in the intervertebral discs and the facet joints, usually at the same time, but often to varying degrees. Let us now understand the process which affects individually the different parts of the spine.
      The Intervertebral disc: The intervertebral disc is made up of an outer annulus fibrosis and a central nucleus pulpous. Degenerative changes within the intervertebral disc usually start as small circumferential tears in the annulus fibrosis. These annular tears increase in size and extend into the nucleus pulpous .due to this there is loss of water and other contents from the disc which appears as loss of height of the disc. As degeneration continues, the disc collapses, shortening the distance between the two vertebral bodies. This may progress to a stage where there is only dead tissue separating the vertebrae. Due to this even the vertebrae on either side begin to degenerate.
      The Facet joints: There is initial inflammation which leads to gradual thinning of the cartilage. This continues till there is loss of the cartilage and there is formation of new bone expanding the volume of the superior and inferior facets and puts further stress on the intervertebral discs.
      Cause of pain: Due to inflammation, the tissues involved release certain chemical agents. These chemicals activate nerve endings which in turn releases pain producing substance.
      Investigations done: Degenerative change in the intervertebral disc is best visualized in its early stages  by using radiological means. The patient who is suffering is advised for an MRI and a digital X ray as well . As degenerative changes progress, narrowing of the disc happens, it is better visualized with the help of CT or MR images.
      We can help!!!
      According to the guidelines of MRI scan the consultant neurosurgeon finalises the mode of treatment. Now whats the mode of treatment? Firstly if the symptoms are not that chronic then the patient is managed conservatively i.e with medications. If the problem still persisit then the patient needs to under go a simple procedure which is called as verteboplasty which is done by a simple non invasive procedure. For more details please do conult our leading neurosurgeon Dr. Avneeesh Gupte at “Spine & Brain Clinic” Pune India.

        Brain Stroke – Time Lost is Brain Lost


        Time plays an important role in the life of a brain stroke patient. It is highly crucial to get the patient to hospital immediately as some of the treatments depend upon time. Since time is crucial, it is hardly possible to find a neurologist or a neurosurgeon at that point of time. Depending upon the magnitude of the problem the patient may have to undergo brain stroke surgery. With the best doctors and highly advanced facilities, Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic in Pune is well prepared to treat any problems related to Brain and Spine.

        Brain stroke is caused by the death of the brain cells due to lack of oxygen supply which can be caused due to blockage or rupture of the artery. If displaying any symptoms like numbness or weakness in one side of the body, problem in speech, vision, dizziness, walking and severe headache due to unknown causes, it is time to approach the neurologists at Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic.

          Relief for Back Pain & Neck Pain in Working Professionals


          Hello friends!!

          I think you all must be great and healthy and happy in your professional life.
          Now what made me think to write an article on this topic is that few days ago a lady walked in my counseling room with complaints of severe back pain and neck pain. Surprisingly the young lady turns out to be a doctor (dentist by profession). So was wondering what must be the problems of other working professionals. Nowadays backpain and neckpain is very much common is working professionals due to lack of exercises, postural problems, stress, work pressure, and other muscle related problems.

          Now what about the young lady who complained of severe backpain and neck pain?
          Answer: Being a dentist her main problem is sitting in one posture for long time. But she was relieved from both neck pain and backpain within a week. Physiologically static muscle (muscle continuous in one posture) have poor blood supply and accumulate lactic acid which leads in inflammation of muscles. That’s the reason maximum of the working professionals complain about neckpain, upper back pain, or lower backpain.

          Now is there a long lasting cure? 
          Our healthy body muscles or where there is no pain, vibrate with a specific frequency. If the frequency is lost we feel pain. Max vibration therapy works on fundamentals of vibration and matches to normal frequency thus relieving us from pain. According to neurosurgeon Dr. Avneesh  Gupte, MAX vibration therapy combined with back exercises along with postural changes gives fabulous results. Thus according to him this therapy is proving a boon for people who have long standing chronic backpain, neck pain, low back pain and also does magic in joint pain(arthritis). The session last for an hour and most patients are cured in 3 to 5 sessions (depends on severity). And most important we are talking over permanent cure(and not just another treatment)

          According to neurosurgeon Dr. Avneesh Gupte, with the help of MAX vibration therapy combined with back exercises, postural changes, and lifestyle changes will surely help in getting relieved from this nagging backpain and neck pain. So don’t make the pain a habit and make yourself pain free and happy by taking advantage of latest and most advance care.
          Thanks friends we will surely write on other working professionals too .

            JOINT PAIN IS NO MORE A CURSE – a win over ARTHRITIS pain

            Everybody has the right to live happy and pain free. But what life does a chronic joint pain suffers live, have we ever thought of that. He is told by the doctor that he has got ‘Arthritis’ very lightly; but what the percussion it will have on the rest of the life? Well, it means he will suffer from joint pain which will not be cured in spite of best medicines and physical therapies; which ensures that he won’t be performing 100% and will always carry with him the pain and suffering for the rest of his life.

            Introduction of MAX vibration treatment (a physiotherapy tool from Germany) at Vinnayak hospital has brought all the smile in these suffers. How does MAX machine work?  Healthy body cells oscillate between frequency of 8 to 12 hertz. When there is any painful condition example arthritis then the rhythm of body cells gets disturbed. With the use of MAX machine a well trained physiotherapist can give a vibration treatment of a 1 hour session which re-sets the lost normal rhythm. Only few sessions are required to re-set the rhythm. The moment your gets re-set – pain, swelling, stiffness, spasms, immobity goes away. Once better, you need to continue and maintain yourself with physiotherapy. This helps to avoid future pain and possible future major surgery.

            To summarize- no cut, no bleeding, not even a prick, no pain killers, no side effect. But what you get is total SURPRISE. A pain free life, and importantly even you go off medicines and still it does not pain. You stop going to doctors which was your routine. The only thing you need to continue physiotherapy to maintain the joint, just like any good vehicle needs regular service to remain good for regular use.

            MAX has blessed many thousands; and many millions are awaiting for a quick and permanent recovery from chronic joint pain problem.

            Thanks to MAX therapy. !

                What is Disc? What is Slip Disc?


                The inter-vertebral discs are protective cushion-like shock-absorbing pads between the two bones of the spine called vertebrae. Our discs function as shock absorbers within our spines. They are comprised of an outer firm portion called the annulus fibrosis, and an inner soft portion called the nucleus pulpous. The analogy  frequently used in describing a herniated disc is the following: when you squeeze a jelly doughnut, the soft jelly (the nucleus pulposis) is extruded through a hole in the firmer, outer portion of the doughnut (the annulus fibrosis). When this occurs in the context of an acute herniated disc, the contents of the herniation serve to not only push on the nerve, but also cause inflammation and swelling around the nerve – causing severe pain. These discs do not actually "slip," they may split or rupture. Following this  rupture the gel escape into the surrounding tissue. The leaking jellylike substance can produce pressure on the spinal cord or on a single nerve root and cause pain either around the damaged disc or anywhere along the area controlled by that nerve. This condition is also known as a herniated disc, ruptured disc, prolapsed disc, or prolapsed intervertbral disc , also known as PIVD,  more commonly known as slip disc or slipped disc.
                The most frequently affected area is the low back, but any disc can rupture, including those in the neck. When the discs of  low back are ruptured there will be pain in lower  back that will radiate to the legs sometimes with tingling and numbness. Similarly in case of neck there will be pain in neck that will be radiating to the hands with tingling numbness.
                The nature of the pain is frequently electric shock-like pain or burning pain. This pain may be associated with some numbness, tingling sensations and sometime some muscle weakness. As there are so many discs in the spine, the exact area of pain depends on the nerve root involved and that again depends on the disc that is involved.

                Now can X rays show slip disc?
                No, this is totally incorrect, slipped disc cannot be seen on an    X ray only an MRI (magnetic resonanse imaging) can on only show the area of slip disc. i.e According Dr. Avneesh Gupte only MRI scan along with clinical support the perfect diagnosis can be done.

                 What is Sciatica? 
                Another most frequently used term both by doctors and by patients is sciatica. It is a symptom and not a disease. Sciatica is defined as any pain that is starting in the low back and is going towards the legs. Sciatica is a non-specific term like fever. Like many diseases may produce fever, many diseases may be the cause of sciatica. Slipped disc is one of the most common cause of sciatica.

                What’s the cure for it?        
                According to Dr. Avneesh Gupte apart from conservative therapy all other forms of treatment aim at decompressing the nerve roots. These can be done by taking the disc out by surgery or by decompressing the foramen and disc by different interventions. Doctor’s prefer non-surgical procedures for almost all spinal problems until surgery is warranted for based on the severity of the condition. Surgery is a necessity when these pains start interrupting the daily activities and little can be done to control it. The MAX treatment for back and neck pain used at Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic, has produced wonderful results in people who have been suffering from chronic pain for many years.

                For surgical procedures the technique used in the endoscopic microdisectomy procedure accomplishes the same result as the traditional surgical with minimum invasion which helps shorten the recovery time.

                Spine the vital organ

                A Human body is termed healthy when each and every organ of the body function properly and efficiently.  Our evolution has led to a great extent of changes in our lifestyle, food habits and even posture.
                Human body’s weight is totally held and supported by the spine causing it to become extremely vulnerable to injury and strain in cases where care is not taken to maintain the correct posture and shape.
                Spine is also called the backbone of vertebral column, whose main functions are structure and protecting the spinal cord. The spine is divided into four curves, the cervical curve, thoracic curve, lumbar curve and pelvic curve. Supporting all parts of the body the spine or the vertebral column is an extremely important organ in our body and any discomfort or damage to this organ results in a serious health problem calling for medical intervention.
                Body Postures
                The spinal cord which is protected by the spine is made of 26 vertebrae all of which play very important role in supporting the human body. These vertebrae have some soft jelly like substance in between, which basically act as the shock absorbers and prevent the vertebrae from coming in contact with the other.
                However with the fast life of 21st century which involves lots of traveling, excessive bending or the stressed filled life can cause some damage to this spinal cord and this trauma may cause the soft jelly like substance to move out of its place and protrude. This is caused disc herniation or the slip disc. Such damages to the spine can cause immense pain which needs medical attention immediately. Approaching a best neurologist is an ideal solution at this point of time as it may require either surgical or non-surgical treatment. 
                One such health care center to approach for your neurological problems is Dr.Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic located in Pune. Known as one of the best spine center the Spine & Brain Clinic has some of the best neurologists who are highly competent and dedicated. Equipped with the best of facilities Dr. Gupte’s Spine & Brain Clinic specializes in dealing with problems like spine injury, spine infection, spine bifida, neck and back pain and many more. Having the best health care facility with the latest technological equipment the Spine & Brain Clinic is and ideal choice for patients suffering from any problems related to brain and spine.
                Though disc herniation is a commonly found problem these days, the treatment whether surgical are non-surgical depends upon the condition of the patient. Plenty of rest with pain killers being the very common treatment, doctors may suggest surgery depending on the magnitude of the problem.
