  • Thoracic Spine Pain) General Information Leaflet
    Physiotherapy – Upper and Middle Back Pain (Thoracic spine pain) General Information Leaflet The upper and middle back is the section of the back between the base of the neck and the bottom of the ribcage – the thoracic spine. This type of back pain is less common than neck or lower back pain. Like many other types of back pain, upper and middle back pain can range from aching and stiffness to a sharp or burning sensation. Pain in this area may be the result of a problem with the muscles or ligaments (bands of tissue around joints), an injury, or a pinched nerve in the spine. One cause of pain in this area is poor posture. Try to keep your back as straight as possible and balance your weight evenly on both feet. When sitting, keep your shoulders rolled back and be sure to adopt suitable positions when driving, sitting, or using computers. Upper back pain usually starts to get better within a few weeks. Sometimes upper back pain will come and go over time. The section on preventing back pain has advice about ways you may be able to reduce the risk of the pain coming back. Keep moving One of the most important things you can do is to keep moving and continue with your normal activities as much as possible. It used to be thought bed rest would help you recover from a bad back, but it's now known people who remain active are likely to recover more quickly. This may be difficult at first, but don't be discouraged – your pain will start to improve eventually.

  • You Are Worth It!
    Congratulations! I am so happy that you’ve taken this important step and made the incredible decision to move forward with your treatment. The very reason I decided to limit my practice is to help patients with pain and sleep problems achieve true happiness, and I commend you for embracing the bright future you want. You are worth it! Coming from a family of physicians, I learned at a young age the importance and impact of good healthcare. Several years ago, I developed craniofacial pain and decided to learn more about treating it. During my learning process, I noticed in my specialty practice of Periodontics, Implantology and Endodontics, that many of my patients had similar problems. After treatment, several commented that their quality of life had improved. I developed a passion to help people suffering from a myriad of symptoms related to Sleep and TMJ Disorders. By treating these issues and helping patients achieve greater rest and pain free days, I’ve seen whole lives turn around. Now that is something to get excited about! It is heartbreaking to watch people delay the care they need, and that is why I am so impressed and inspired that you have selected to move forward with your treatment. Again, A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you for embracing life, and getting the world-class care you deserve. To maximize our time together, please complete the medical intake forms and return to our office 24 hours prior to your appointment. You can email them to [email protected] or fax to (972) 538-3751. We are about to take an amazing journey together, and I can promise you that the time you spend with us will be memorable, enjoyable and inspiring.

  • Spinal Pain in Pre-Adolescents with Pain Experience in Early Life
    European Journal of Pediatrics (2019) 178:1903–1911 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00431-019-03475-9 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Early-life programming of pain sensation? Spinal pain in pre-adolescents with pain experience in early life Anne Cathrine Joergensen1 & Raquel Lucas2 & Lise Hestbaek3 & Per Kragh Andersen4 & Anne-Marie Nybo Andersen1 Received: 16 April 2019 /Revised: 17 September 2019 /Accepted: 20 September 2019/Published online: 20 November 2019 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Neurobiological mechanisms can be involved in early programming of pain sensitization. We aimed to investigate the association between early-life pain experience and pre-adolescence spinal pain. We conducted a study of 29,861 pre-adolescents (age 11–14) from the Danish National Birth Cohort. As indicators of early-life pain, we used infantile colic and recurrent otitis media, reported by mothers when their children were 6 and 18 months. Self-reported spinal pain (neck, middle back, and/or low back pain) was obtained in the 11-year follow-up, classified according to severity. Associations between early-life pain and spinal pain in pre- adolescents were estimated using multinomial logistic regression models. To account for sample selection, inverse probability weighting was applied. Children experiencing pain in early life were more likely to report severe spinal pain in pre-adolescence. The association appeared stronger with exposure to two pain exposures (relative risk ratio, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.02–1.68) rather than one (relative risk ratio, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05–1.24). We observed similar results when using headache and abdominal pain as outcome measures, underpinning a potential neurobiological or psychosocial link in programming of pain sensitization.
