Gifts That Move You

Dec 12, 2006 - If you're like me you're right in the middle of figuring out gifts for the long list of people you love (or don't totally love, but still are obligated to buy for). I hate buying people gifts that I know are going to promote them being sedentary. It is hard when it comes to games but there are some games that really get you moving. - 6 Comments

What's the Deal With Craniosacral Therapy?

May 20, 2009 - When basic massage or chiropractic adjustment doesn't ease your pain, it might be time to try craniosacral therapy. Similar to massage, a therapist applies gentle pressure to your spine, shoulders, head, chest, and abdomen to manipulate and adjust the craniosacral system — cranium (or head), the spine and the pelvis. This type of therapy is said to ease restrictions in nerve passages, encourage movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord, and restore alignment of bones in the spine. - 6 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Highlights Verapamil May Cause Heart Problems Verapamil (Calan) is a blood pressure medication that is used "off-label" as a first-line preventive treatment for cluster headaches. However, when used for cluster headache, this drug may sometimes cause dangerous disturbances in heart rhythms (arrhythmia), according to a 2007 study in Neurology. The researchers recommend that patients who take verapamil should receive regular electrocardiograms to monitor for any signs of potential heart problems. - 0 Comments

HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Normal anatomy There are four major bones of the face: the maxilla, the zygoma, the mandible, and the frontal bone of the cranium. Indications Patients requiring craniofacial reconstruction have:

birth defects (such as hypertelorism, Crouzon's disease, Apert's syndrome)
injuries to the head, face, or jaws (maxillofacial)
tumors
deformities caused by treatments of tumors

Procedure While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (under general anesthesia) some of the facial bones are cut and repositioned into a more normal facial structure. The procedure may take from four to 14 hours to complete. - 0 Comments

Cause of headaches

Sep 04, 2008 - Back HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Cluster headaches may be caused by blood vessel dilation in the eye area. Inflammation of nearby nerves may give rise to the distinctive stabbing, throbbing pain usually felt in one eye. The trigeminal nerves branch off the brainstem behind the eyes and send impulses throughout the cranium and face. - 0 Comments
