Acupuncture is good for Heart Health!

Acupuncture has been linked in research studies to positive heart health.   Research has shown that those with heart failure can now be helped with acupuncture.  Acupuncture helps to dramatically reduce the pressure put on the heart, because it reduces activity in the sympathetic nervous system, which regulates involuntary movements such as heartbeat and blood pressure.  Acpuncture has been around for centuries and is an alternative treatment to traditional medicines.  For more information go to www.winterparkchiropractic.com, or http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1656262.stm  for a full article from the BBC on acupuncture and heart health.  Dr. Anthony V. Filardo is Certified in Acupuncture and has been practicing for ten years in the Orlando/Winter Park Fl area.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia-a great alternative to spinal surgeries

Surgery isn’t for everyone, and some patients are in too much pain or have severe conditions that make traditional manipulation less effectice.  Manipulation under anesthesia is becomeing more of a common procedure, and Dr. Anthony Filardo is one of the few Chiropractic Physicians in Central Florida to perform the procedure.  Manipulation Under Anesthesia can be amazing for those who have certain spinal conditions that respond insufficiently to conventional adjustment give by chiropractic doctors.  While most conservative care performed in a chiropractic office is usually effective in most musculo-skeletal spinal conditions, some patients have spinal problems that won’t allow the doctor to effectively manipulate (adjust the joins of the spine.  Some of the conditions of the spine that make it difficult are; build-up scar tissue both in and around the spinal joints (commonly caused by multiple injuries or failed back surgery), chronic musccle spasm, super-sensitivity of injured areas making the patient unable to relax and cooperate for effective treatment, or persistent shortening of muscles, ligaments, and tendons due to previous immobilization, as well as some disc injuries.    If you want more information on this procedure call (407) 622-2251×2 to speak to someone at Winter Park Chiropractic & Acupuncture Center
