Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > The Benefits of Combining Spinal Decompression and Shockwave Therapy The Benefits of Combining Spinal Decompression and Shockwave Therapy Clients suffering from chronic back pain, herniated discs, or spinal stenosis often search for effective treatment options that go beyond temporary relief. Combining spinal decompression and shockwave therapy has emerged as a powerful approach to target pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life. This combination addresses both structural issues and soft tissue dysfunction, providing a comprehensive path to recovery. Lasting Pain Relief Spinal decompression works by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the discs, and allowing for rehydration and nutrient absorption. When paired with shockwave therapy, which stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair, patients often experience faster and more significant pain relief. The synergy of these treatments can help reduce reliance on medication and enhance the body’s natural healing process. Enhanced Mobility and Function Many patients struggle with stiffness and a limited range of motion due to spinal conditions. Spinal decompression relieves pressure on nerves and discs, while shockwave therapy softens scar tissue and breaks up adhesions in muscles and tendons. Together, these therapies can restore flexibility, improve posture, and allow clients to return to daily activities with greater ease and comfort. Long-Term Benefits Beyond immediate relief, combining these therapies can support long-term spinal health. Spinal decompression helps maintain disc height and structural integrity, while shockwave therapy strengthens soft tissues, reducing the likelihood of recurring pain. Clients often notice sustained improvement, increased energy, and an overall better quality of life as a result of consistent treatment. What to Expect During Your First Visit During your first visit, our team will review your medical history and discuss your symptoms in detail. You will receive a thorough assessment to identify areas of tension or pressure. We’ll also explain how spinal decompression and shockwave therapy work and outline a personalized treatment plan.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Is My Leg Pain Sciatica Is My Leg Pain Sciatica Sciatica is an interesting disorder. Why? Well, it’s interesting because so many people claim to have it, but not all of them do. So let me elaborate on this. The most common description that patients give me when discussing sciatica is simply “I have leg pain”. Although sciatica typically does cause leg pain, the disorder itself is a bit more complicated than that. So let us first understand the anatomy of the lower back to get a better understanding of sciatica. The Anatomy Every human body is comprised of many bones, 206 to be exact. There are a series of bones that run the length of your body that make up your spine. The spine holds the body erect. It acts as a pathway for the spinal cord to run the distance between your brain and your tailbone via the spinal canal. The bones that make up the spine are called vertebra. The lower back (lumbar) is made up of 5 vertebrae and connects the rest of the spine to the tailbone (sacrum). Between each vertebra there is a piece of cartilage called a disc. The cartilage is elastic enough to allow the spine to bend and twist but tough enough to support the body’s weight. Each combination of vertebra, disc, vertebra creates a tunnel for nerves to pass through on either side of the spine called Foramen . These nerves are the culprit for sciatica pain. What is Sciatica? When you're looking at the anatomy of the lower back, focus on the segments between the L4 and S1 . Now let’s take a look at the nerves between each segment — the ones between the L4 and L5, and the L5 and S1. These particular nerves are most affected. When these nerves exit the back, for the most part, they bundle up to form a larger nerve called the sciatic nerve . So, when one of these nerves are compressed or ‘pinched’, then pain, numbness, tingling and/or weakness can travel down the leg. This is sciatica. Sciatica can affect either leg or both at the same time. But we need to determine the reason why the nerves are compressed in the first place. Let’s talk about that next. What is the Cause of Nerve Compression? There are a few common spine conditions that can compress a nerve. The most common are bulging and herniated discs . But other conditions like disc degeneration, disc thinning, osteoarthritis and synovial cysts can also compress nerves. We'll discuss each one of these conditions on a separate newsletter in the future, so right now all we need to know is: when a nerve is compressed it can essentially interfere with the signals from the brain, causing all the previously mentioned symptoms.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Lumbar vs. Cervical Spinal Stenosis: Understanding the Differences Lumbar vs. Cervical Spinal Stenosis: Understanding the Differences At Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc., patients in Santa Monica, CA visit us for answers when chronic pain, numbness, or weakness begins to interfere with their daily life. Spinal stenosis can affect different areas of the spine, and understanding where it occurs is an important step toward effective care. As a chiropractor specialist, we focus on helping patients understand their condition and explore appropriate spinal stenosis treatment options. What Is Spinal Stenosis Spinal stenosis occurs when spaces within the spine narrow, placing pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This narrowing may develop due to age-related changes, disc degeneration, arthritis, or injury. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the narrowing, which is why distinguishing between lumbar and cervical spinal stenosis is so important. Understanding Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Lumbar spinal stenosis affects the lower back. Patients often experience pain, numbness, or tingling that travels through the hips, buttocks, or legs. Walking or standing for long periods may increase discomfort, while sitting or leaning forward can bring relief. Many individuals seeking spinal stenosis treatment in Santa Monica, CA, report difficulty with mobility due to lower-body symptoms. Understanding Cervical Spinal Stenosis Cervical spinal stenosis occurs in the neck region. This form of stenosis may cause neck pain, stiffness, numbness in the arms or hands, and balance issues. Because the cervical spine protects the spinal cord, symptoms can feel more widespread. A chiropractic specialist can help evaluate cervical spinal stenosis and recommend supportive care options. Key Differences Between Lumbar and Cervical Stenosis While both conditions involve spinal narrowing, the symptoms and impact differ based on location. Lumbar stenosis primarily affects the lower body, while cervical stenosis often influences the upper body and coordination. Proper diagnosis helps guide spinal stenosis treatment and ensures care is tailored to the specific type of stenosis. Chiropractic Care for Spinal Stenosis Care at Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. focuses on improving spinal function, reducing nerve pressure, and supporting mobility. Treatment plans are personalized and may include gentle manipulations, movement guidance, and supportive therapies. Patients often look for a chiropractic specialist who understands how to manage spinal stenosis saf Synovial Cysts Specialist | Chiropractor in Santa Monica, CA | Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Synovial Cysts Specialist Synovial Cysts Specialist What is a synovial cyst? A synovial cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can develop on your spine. While it’s not cancerous and may not cause symptoms, a synovial cyst can lead to severe nerve root compression and resulting sciatica. Treatment at Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. can offer you relief. What are the symptoms of synovial cysts? Signs and symptoms you might experience with a synovial cyst include: Low back pain Numbness Weakness Tingling in the legs Problems walking or standing Synovial cysts can cause spinal stenosis by narrowing your spinal canal. You might not experience symptoms, but if you do, they can range in severity from mild to severe. What causes a synovial cyst? The cause of a synovial cyst isn’t always clear. It might develop when spinal facet joints degenerate, become irritated, and produce excess fluid. Factors that increase your risk of developing a synovial cyst include older age, arthritis, scoliosis, abnormal or excessive movements, leg length inequality, and spondylolisthesis that occurs when spinal bones slip out of proper alignment. How are synovial cysts diagnosed? To find out if you have a synovial cyst, Dr. Le asks questions about your medical history and symptoms. Dr. Le completes a physical exam of your back and spine and might use ultrasound, MRIs, CT scans, or X-rays to detect or rule out certain medical complications. How are synovial cysts treated? If you have a synovial cyst and discomfort associated with it, your custom treatment plan might include: Physical medicine Physical medicine treatments available at Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. include heel lifts, physiotherapy, posture modifications, spinal manipulations, rehabilitative stretches, strengthening exercises, and nonsurgical spinal decompression using revolutionary DRX 9000™ technology. Epidural injections Dr. Le may recommend cortisone injections to reduce swelling, pop a cyst, or alleviate pain. Surgery is a last resort but can remove cysts and relieve pain associated with them. Dr. Le may make a recommendation if you’re a candidate for a surgical procedure. Surgery should always be accompanied by physical medicine to treat the cause of the synovial cyst.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Healthy Sleeping Habits Healthy Sleeping Habits Sleep can have a profound impact on our overall health and wellness. The average person spends 1/3rd of their life sleeping ; therefore, we should be sure to practice healthy sleeping habits. Research suggests sleeping 7–9 hours a night for optimal health and wellness. Studies show even a small deficit in sleep can lead to: Decreased brain function Decreased athleticism Increased inflammation Increased risk for becoming sick In this article, we will discuss healthy sleeping habits , recommendations for bed and pillow selection , sleep posture , and getting in and out of bed . Healthy Sleep Habits: Limit screen time before bed. Blue light emitted from our electronic device screens affects melatonin production, which adversely affects our sleep. Eat your last meal 3–4 hours before bedtime. This allows for proper digestion before bed. Set and follow a normal sleeping routine. Wake up and go to sleep at consistent times, including on weekends. Sleep in a cool room. Ideally 60–68°F, or utilize a temperature-controlled mattress or mattress pad. Bed and Pillow Selection: The age and quality of your mattress has a huge impact on how you rest and recover. An old or worn-out mattress and box spring can contribute to neck and back issues. It is recommended to replace your mattress every 5–8 years . Select a medium to firm mattress Soft or extra firm mattresses can exacerbate back pain. Limit pillow top height Excessive pillow top height can decrease support and lead to back pain. Select a pillow that will keep your head in a neutral position Avoid stacked or extra thick pillows, as they do not keep your head neutral. Sleep Posture: Finding your ideal sleeping position takes time and usually depends on your current condition. Generally recommended: Side sleeping with a pillow between your legs Back sleeping with a pillow under your knees Typically, stomach sleeping should be avoided as it puts added stress on your neck and back. Getting In and Out of Bed: How you get in and out of bed is equally important as your sleep position. These tips should be practiced every day , not just during a flare-up: To lie down: Sit on the edge of the bed with your arms at your sides. Slowly lie your body onto the bed in a side-lying position, maintaining the bend of your knees at 45 degrees. Finally, bring your feet into a side-lying position or roll onto your back. To get up: From a side-lying position with your knees bent, push your body upright into a sitting position, swinging your legs over the edge of the bed as you rise.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Services > Therapies & Techniques > Spinal Decompression Spinal Decompression Spinal Decompression: A Nonsurgical Solution for Lasting Pain Relief Chronic back or neck pain can make even the simplest tasks feel impossible. If you are struggling with conditions like herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or degenerative disc disease, you may feel like surgery is your only option. But at Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. in Santa Monica, CA, we offer a safe, effective, and nonsurgical alternative: spinal decompression therapy using the advanced DRX-9000 system. Continue reading to learn more about spinal decompression and how it can help you find relief. What Is Spinal Decompression? Spinal decompression is a nonsurgical therapy designed to relieve pressure on the spine and its surrounding nerves. This treatment gently stretches the spine, creating space between the vertebrae and reducing pressure on compressed discs and nerves. By promoting better circulation and allowing nutrients and oxygen to flow into the affected areas, spinal decompression helps the body heal naturally. At Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc., we use the state-of-the-art DRX-9000 spinal decompression machine, a highly advanced system that delivers precise, controlled therapy tailored to your specific needs. How Does Spinal Decompression Work? During a spinal decompression session, you will lie comfortably on the DRX-9000 machine while it gently applies traction to your spine. This process creates negative pressure within the affected discs, which can: Relieve pressure on pinched nerves. Reduce the size of herniated or bulging discs. Improve disc hydration and promote healing. Alleviate pain caused by conditions like sciatica, spinal stenosis, and degenerative disc disease. Each session typically lasts about 30-45 minutes, and most patients find the treatment relaxing. A full course of spinal decompression therapy usually involves multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on your condition and treatment goals. Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression? Spinal decompression is an excellent option for patients dealing with: Herniated or bulging discs. Spinal stenosis. Degenerative disc disease. Sciatica or nerve pain. Chronic back or neck pain. It is a safe, noninvasive alternative for those looking to avoid surgery or reduce their reliance on pain medications.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > How Did I Get Tennis Elbow How Did I Get Tennis Elbow Have you ever woken up with a sore  and tender elbow, wondering what  you could have done yesterday that  caused it? Brushing your teeth hurts. Pulling up your pants hurt. Reaching  for the remote hurts. Everything you  do makes it hurt! Then come to find  out you have tennis elbow, but wait,  you don’t even play tennis! Recently an unusual number of patients coming into the office have complained of a pain to the outside of their elbows. The area is often slightly inflamed. It is warm, red and tender to the touch and it is generally painful with movement. So much so, that sometimes they have described it as a sharp stabbing pain. Looks like classic symptoms of tennis elbow, but how did they get it? The culprit has been their mobile phone. My mom always said spending too much time on the phone is bad for you and in a way, she was right! A lot of us have been in quarantine, working from home and limited in our ability to do outdoor activities or meet up with friends and family so we are keeping up with the outside world by extensively using our iPads, mobile phones and laptops. When you use your mobile phone, an iPad, or even read a book for excessive amounts of time, the muscles to the outside of the forearm can become very tight, inflamed, and irritated just like an avid tennis player swinging a racket. More specifically, the two muscles on the outside of the forearm, extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis. So how did it get its name Tennis Elbow? Pain to the outside of the elbow would often occur when avid tennis players would develop excessively tight and irritated muscles to the outside and back of their forearms. As these muscles became overworked from swinging their rackets, the muscles would start to pull away at their insertion site. This area is called the lateral epicondyle. When this area becomes inflamed, a person can develop a disorder called lateral epicondylitis or more commonly referred to as Tennis Elbow. In addition to the lateral epicondyle, the highly sensitive periosteum surrounding the epicondyle and the muscular tendons can also become irritated and very painful. What are the signs and symptoms of Tennis Elbow? The area can be warm, red and tender to the touch. The outside of the elbow can be dull and achy at rest, to sharp and stabbing with any kind of movement. External rotation of the wrist can increase the pain. This is a repetitive stress injury so people who use their arms a lot will be prone to developing this condition Scoliosis | Santa Monica, CA Chiropractor | Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Services > Scoliosis Scoliosis What is scoliosis? Scoliosis is a sideways curve in your spine that often happens during growth spurts during puberty. It affects about 3% of all teenagers. Even though the cause of scoliosis is often said to be unknown, Dr. Peter Le believe this to be incorrect. In fact, scoliosis could be a result of many different reasons. Treatment at Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc. can offer you relief. What are the signs and symptoms of scoliosis? Signs and symptoms associated with scoliosis include: One shoulder blade that’s more prominent Uneven waist One hip that’s higher than the other Uneven shoulders Spinal curve of more than 10 degrees Visible abnormal curve in the spine Ribs that stick out on one side With scoliosis your spine might twist, rotate, or curve to one side. It can affect your mobility and cause discomfort. Treatment helps improve your overall quality of life. What are the risk factors for scoliosis? Anyone can develop scoliosis, but the following factors increase your risk: Muscular dystrophy Cerebral palsy Birth defects Spinal injuries Being female Family history of scoliosis Genetic factors Common complications include back problems and chronic pain. Seeking treatment at the first sign of scoliosis, or getting screened if you’re at risk, gives you the best chance of a desirable outcome. How is scoliosis diagnosed? To diagnose scoliosis and its severity, Dr. Le reviews your medical history and symptoms. They complete a physical exam and have you bend forward from the waist to examine your spine. Dr. Le might complete a neurological exam to check for numbness, abnormal reflexes, and muscle weakness. They may use X-rays, MRIs, or other imaging procedures to make a final diagnosis and detect or rule out underlying medical problems. How is scoliosis treated? To properly manage scoliosis and its symptoms, your spine specialist might recommend: Orthotics Using orthotics, or shoe inserts, help correct spinal asymmetry. Dr. Le offers custom orthotics that fit comfortably inside your shoes. Physiotherapy Your spine specialist helps you complete strength and flexibility exercises to better manage scoliosis, reduce pain associated with it, and improve your posture. Spinal manipulations Dr. Le offers several chiropractic approaches to better align and balance your spine. The team might recommend traction, inversion, nonsurgical spinal decompression, or other anti-gravity techniques. Bracing Wearing a back brace helps improve spinal curvature and misalignment. Dr. Le lets you know which type of back brace is right for you. Surgery Surgery should Appointment Request | Santa Monica, CA | Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Do You Really Need Back Surgery Do You Really Need Back Surgery Spinal surgery doesn’t come with that same level of confidence. In fact, no other surgery has a syndrome named for its failures—Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. It’s reported that 10-40 percent of back surgery patients fall into this category and develop intractable pain and functional incapacitation after the surgery. Not only are back surgery results less favorable than most surgeries, but the risks are also often higher. The most serious consequences include: Nerve Damage Paralysis Blood Loss Blood Clots (which may cause a stroke or heart attack) Spinal fluid Leaks Death The chance of severe or life-threatening events are approximately 5% (the incidence of infection, alone, is 2%). But that’s not the only problem. Its long-term success rate is exceptionally poor. This is the main reason most doctors postpone back surgery as long as they can. Some are better trained at non-surgical alternatives, are more conservative and will recommend those options; while others believe their surgical outcomes are better than those published in the medical literature and will more quickly schedule surgery. Why Do Back Surgeries Have Such Inconsistent and Poor Outcomes? Most doctors try not to admit this, but they are rarely sure of the exact cause of your pain. They may believe it’s a pinched nerve, a herniated disc or spinal stenosis since they see it on an MRI; but, they know the real cause of your pain may not even be visible on your MRI. Doctors are greatly influenced by your MRI findings, even though most studies have shown them to be only about 50% accurate in determining the cause of your pain. In other words, MRIs show abnormal tissue, but not pain. So we try to correlate the exam findings and your symptoms with your MRI. But there are many pain sensitive areas in your spine and once the area is cut, you may develop a new one. These are the most common reasons for poor surgical outcomes: Healthy tissue is cut or removed while leaving the pain producing tissues behind. The surgery removed the pressure from an injured nerve, but later scar tissue formed from the surgery causing greater nerve compression than before. The cut muscles or scar tissue that formed, from the surgery, changed the normal spinal mechanics leading to increased spinal degeneration and pain. The mechanical abnormalities that caused the disc herniation, degeneration or spurring, were never properly treated so the problem just returns.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Sciatica There are Real Answers Sciatica There are Real Answers The Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in the body. Solutions are often overlooked by not finding the true cause (or causes, there are often more than one) of the nerve irritation. It may come from disc compression, degeneration, spinal misalignment, leg length discrepancies, etc. Most get better within a few weeks with usual treatments or rest. If yours isn't, we need to find the cause and solution for your condition. "It isn't an exaggeration to say that I thought I would be wheelchair bound and would never be back on my feet the rest of my life. The pain in my right leg was that severe. ...One day in the summer of 2007, I noticed that some numbness and tingling pain in my right leg just did not go away. Not only that, it became worse and worse. When I walked a little, the pain in the back of my thigh down to the outside of my right calf to ankle got so severe, I had to stop, sit down, and wait until the pain subsided. The distance between the rests got shorter and shorter to finally down to 10 steps. It was the worst kind of pain that I have felt, so intense it was like poking my brain with a needle...I became chair-bound. He (Dr. Morris) gave me a thorough examination, asked me a hundred questions, and ordered an MRI to confirm his diagnosis...A little over 3 months later, I am writing this to let the world know that my pain level is a humble 1 out of 10 (10 is the most severe)! When I first met Dr. Morris, my pain level was easily over 8. I can now walk with my friends in a shopping mall, do grocery shopping, and will be back in my dance class soon. All these were unimaginable 3 months ago. If anyone is in the same condition as I was then, I know how it feels. And I am very fortunate that I met Dr. Morris and his great team of professionals. Thank you and I hope there will be more patients like myself who find you and your incredible practice." – Yuriko Imashuku, Language Instructor If You Have Sciatica, You'll Want To Know This The Sciatic Nerve is the largest nerve in your body (as you probably can tell from the pain you're feeling down your leg right now!). It leaves between the vertebrae in your lower back, travels through a group of muscles in your buttocks, and can refer pain down the back of your thigh and all the way to your foot. When this nerve is irritated, we call it Sciatica . It usually starts from an injury to your lower back (usually L4 thru S1) and is worse when you're bending over, running, or sitting.

Your Stationary Bike Causing Your Lower Back Home > Healing in Meditation Healing in Meditation Meditation is more than a spiritual tradition used to create a sense of peace and inner harmony. Meditation is a mindfulness technique that has been utilized for thousands of years to sharpen focus and attention, connect your body and breath, and cope with difficult emotions. Although many spiritual traditions include meditation, the practice itself does not belong to any religion or faith. So why am I reading about meditation at my doctor’s office? Pain and injuries often invite negative thoughts, and it's extremely hard for us to make our thoughts disappear. In fact, the more we try to quiet them, it seems the louder they become. These loud negative thoughts can be stressful, and high stress leads to decreased immune function. This is where meditation comes in.  Meditation is a type of mind-body medicine that trains attention and awareness. It can be utilized to suppress reactivity to one’s negative thoughts and feelings.  Studies have shown meditation acts on the area of the brain that regulates the autonomic nervous system, which helps calm our fight-or-flight response and lower blood pressure. In doing so, it allows us to slow our pulse, reduce stress, and enhance our well-being. In this article, we will discuss the health benefits of regular meditation, common meditation practices, tips to get you started, and the effect of meditation on healing. Research has shown that daily meditation may help: Reduce stress Increase immunity Lower blood pressure Improve sleep Improve emotional regulation Increase focus Increased adaptability (neuroplasticity) Decrease inflammation Decrease chronic pain Decrease symptoms of depression Meditation is a practice, and there is no right or wrong way to do it. There are many ways to practice meditation, and you should explore them all to see what works best for you. Keep in mind your practice may evolve, and you may practice differently from day to day. It is important to find which practice resonates with you and your healing journey. Common forms of meditation include: Guided meditation – aka imagery or visualization meditation. With this method, you form mental images of places or situations you find relaxing. Try to incorporate as many senses as possible, such as smells, sights, sounds, and textures. This type of practice may be led by a guide or teacher. Mantra meditation – where you silently repeat a calming word, thought, or phrase to prevent distracting thoughts. Mindfulness meditation – based on being mindful, or having an increased awareness and acceptance of living in Chiropractor in Santa Monica, CA | Spinal Stenosis and Disc Center, Inc.
