Back Pain Treatment

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

OCTOBER 25, 2023 BY RUSSELLSHERI

Back pain can be debilitating and can significantly affect your quality of life. Not only that, but the discomfort can become chronic if it is left untreated. At The Russell Center for Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Beverly, MA, we provide various treatments to eliminate your pain and help you return to your normal routine quickly.

Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can occur due to a variety of causes. For example, not exercising regularly, poor posture, and not using proper lifting techniques can lead to sprains and strains. You may even have back pain from certain infections. Some additional causes of back pain include: 

  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Herniated discs
  • Endometriosis
  • Osteoporosis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Kidney stones
  • Kidney infection

Treatments for Back Pain

At our practice, we use various treatments to provide relief from back pain. Some methods our chiropractic may recommend include the following:

SoftWave Therapy

Softwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment which uses shockwaves to enhance healing, decrease inflammation, and encourage blood flow. While a single session of SoftWave therapy may ease your pain, we often recommend a package of treatments to see the full benefits. If you’d like to try this treatment, we are offering an introductory price for all new patients. I highly recommend SoftWave for its many benefits and quick, easy application.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help relieve the discomfort and tension in your back. Not only that, the therapy also relaxes the body, releases endorphins, and increases happiness. Our massage therapist Catherine Peachey is here by appointment and we promise, you will feel amazing after she treats your back.

Acupuncture

Combining acupuncture with other treatments can help eliminate your discomfort. Along with that, the treatment can reduce inflammation that may be contributing to the back pain. Our Acupuncturist, Dr. Henry Lee is particularly interested in the treatment of orthopedic and sports injuries through the synergy of traditional and modern medical theories and methodologies.

At-Home Remedies for Back Pain

There are several at-home remedies that you can try to reduce your symptoms. If you experience minor back pain, some remedies you might consider include: 

  • Heat and cold therapy
  • Stretches
  • Manage stress
  • Change your diet
  • Exercise regularly
  • Get enough sleep
  • Yoga

Essex River Cruise — pat morss

Posted on by patmorss

At Pat D’s suggestion a few days ago on GMG, Anne-Lise and I took one of the last afternoon Essex River Cruises before they closed this weekend for the winter.

Starting down the river from the Essex causeway, toward Essex Bay and the Atlantic.
Cormorants, who may have beheaded this owl “scarecrow.”
One of several Great Blue Herons along the shore.
A family out on the river enjoying the last warm weather.
A couple of clam diggers, with the Castle Hill Crane Estate beyond, on Plum Island
Soaking up the sun on a sandbar, exposed at low tide.
Kayakers on Essex Bay heading out to fish; Atlantic beyond.
Around the corner from Wingarsheek and Coffins Beaches, Annisquam.
Turning back inland, Cormorants take over a sandbar beach.
Our guests view ruins along privately owned Corn Island as the sun gets lower.
A clam digger gets to appreciate the fall colors.
This is back-breaking work.
Back at the dock, just before sunset, and Halloween.

Gloucester Fishermen Boys Varsity soccer update

Posted on by Catherine

Gloucester for the Win! Final score 8:2. GHS Boys Soccer (Div. 3) beat Malden (Div. 1) October 28, 2023.

photos: snapshots of the Senior Celebration — 11 players!–and pregame scenes from the stands.

The Fishermen were led by six seniors in the starting line up: Gino and Dom up front (both scored hat tricks); Cole and Brendan in the middle; and Leo and Benji in back. Looks like the Fishermen are going to the playoffs! The last game of the 2023 season is an away game* on Monday October 30th against Saugus. Heading into that final game, GHS Boys Varsity Soccer 2023 season is 13-3-1. Northeast ranking reflects the success of the team’s defense and offence. A proud parent explained, “Goals allowed is huge. The 2023 team only let up so many goals vs. how many goals we scored all season. In 8 of the games only 1 goal was allowed. There were 3 shutouts by the defense and goalie.”

*This often means the varsity girls soccer should be at the home stadium. The JV team had a game at the same time on another field. Good luck to all the GHS Fishermen fall sports teams!
