Phoenix Frozen Shoulder Goes Away After MUA

Do you have a Frozen Shoulder or chronic shoulder pain? Manipulation Under Anesthesia is a viable treatment option that can break up fibrotic scar tissue that forms in chronic joint problems such as frozen shoulder. Phoenix Chiropractor John Q Quackenbush DC MUAC. When injury occurs whether from a very traumatic injury or repetitive minor or micro traumas the body lays down a network of fibrotic scar tissues in an attempt to buttress up or strengthen the tissues of the affected area. This fibrotic tissue is like IVY growing throughout the tissues until it takes over the bio mechanical function of the surrounding tissues such as muscle tissue, tendon and ligament tissues. This process if not stopped will continue until the joint of the affected area looses it’s ability to function properly and can even become a “Frozen Shoulder”. This Phoenix Manipulation Under Anesthesia treatment is also a viable option for rotator cuff syndrome, carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and chronic pain of the neck, lower back, and pelvis.

Click the video above-Listen to what my patient says about her Manipulation under Anesthesia did for her and how she feels about her procedure.

Here are a few Frequently Asked Questions about Manipulation under Anesthesia (MUA).

1. What is Manipulation under Anesthesia (MUA)- Manipulation under Anesthesia or MUA is an ever increasingly popular procedure that is offered for chronic conditions including but not limited to Headaches, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue Syndrome, Neck Pain, Shoulder pain, Frozen Shoulder, carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and a myriad of other long term chronic conditions and pain syndromes. It is considered safe and is utilized to treat pain arising from Cervical, Thoracic, lumbar spine and pelvis, Temperomandibular Joint syndrome or TMJ and especially frozen shoulder.
2. What is MUA or Manipulation under Anesthesia’s ultimate goal- The ultimate goal is to break up Fibrotic lesions that and scar tissues that surround the joints of the spine pelvis, shoulder and/or wrist that in turns causes that joint to dys-function causing the pain syndromes as mentioned above in FAQ  # 1.
3. What are Fibrotic lesions? Fibrotic lesions are the beginning stages of scar tissue or at least lets say for the purposes of this discussion “entry level scar tissue” but wide spread in nature and sometimes through out an entire joint capsule (joint covering). I like to use this analogy: it is like a very fine Ivy that grows through out your muscular tissue and/or your joint ligament and even the tendon tissues as well as the muscle tissues surrounding the specific joint that is affected.
4. What type of sedation or Anesthesia is utilized during MUA?“ The sedation utilized is called “Twilight Sedation”e medication used is called Propifol and is delivered at the time of the procedure by a board certified Anesthesiologist, who by the way is present for your entire procedure.
5. Where is the procedure performed and who is in attendance? The procedure is performed at a local surgical center and there will be a board certified Anesthesiologist, A Medical Doctor, an attending Chiropractor and a co-attending Chiropractor. You will also have an attending nurse that stays with you while at the surgical center for the three day procedure.
6. Why is MUA a three day procedure and how long does each day take? Am I going to have to stay over night all three days? First and foremost you definitely do not stay any of the three nights. The procedure is a three day 20 minute procedure that is a breeze to go through. The Manipulation under Anesthesia or MUA procedure is combination of stretching procedures with deep massage and finishing with a very gentle manipulation of the affected joints.
7. Will I be sore and laid up after the procedure and What is the recovery time? Most patients experience very little to even no soreness after the MUA procedure to soreness equated with a real vigorous exercise workout. I have noticed that people who do not exercise regularly the most soreness after MUA than people who are physically active. Recovery time from the actual MUA procedure is usually 5 -15 minutes and you are ready to go home for the day. Following your MUA procedure you must follow through with your post procedure care which involves stretching and Chiropractic adjustments.
8. What is the most common concern that your patients have with the MUA procedure? Wow believe it or not the biggest concern is going under Anesthesia!! The reason i say that way is that 100% of the patients who are concerned about going under all say that they couldn’t believe how easy and fast the procedure is and that going under was really nothing and that they really were too concerned about the Anesthesia.

The Secret To Relieving Your Headaches May Be Here…and that’s BAD NEWS for headaches!
Imagine…Your Headaches Are Gone…Life Is Better…And You Can Finally Rest Knowing The Hidden Problem That Was Causing Your Aching Head!
Dear Headache Sufferer,
I’m happy to say that, if you suffer from chronic, never ending headaches, migraines, or any head pain whatsoever, You may have just stumbled upon the most critical piece of information you’ve ever read! Yes, you’re about to discover the true reason why many people suffer from headaches, but I have to warn you, when you read what I’m about to reveal to you, it may shock you.
You’re going to be shocked, thrilled and blown away--all at the same time! When you see the true culprit behind many excruciating headaches you will be thrilled, but it’s going to shock you and blow you away because of how easy it may be for you to relieve your headaches!
You’ll scream to yourself wondering why you haven’t received this information sooner! Why maybe you’re doctor, your friends, or even your specialist didn’t tell you about this simple, safe and easy pain relieving process outlined in this report.
Believe or not, most doctors don’t know about this for one good reason: they don’t help many people relieve headaches! What you need is real answers from a headache from someone that does it for a living. And that’s exactly what you’re going to get here.
I’m going to hand you everything you need to do to safely and easily relief your headaches! In order to do this, you must do one tiny thing first…you must read the next statement carefully, and then whole heartily agree to empathically answer “yes!”
“Are You Really Ready To Totally Forget Everything Everyone (Yes, Even What Your Doctor) Has Told You About Relieving Headache Pain?”
If not, nothing I tell you will matter and you’ll waste the next 3 minutes listening to me babble about headache relief and do nothing about applying the information to help yourself.
What I’m going to speak with you about it factual truth. My name is Dr. John Quackenbush and I have been helping people get rid of headaches for the past 28 years.
In other words, I treat and help headache sufferers’ everyday. I help people like you relieve their headaches and get their life back
Chances are, what you’ve heard about headache relief in the past is what I call 50/50 information….50% Wrong And 50% Someone’s Opinion…..No Factual Proof…Mostly A Bunch Of Old Wives Tales!!
I’m happy to share with you the “truth”, without hype, without guessing, without fluff. I’m kind of angry because many of my current patients started out being fooled. They were hopeless.
They thought headaches were genetic or some weird side effect of food they ate or some other fallacy. “It doesn’t have to be that way”, I’d tell them when they first didn’t believe how fast I could possibly help them. Now many are living a life pain free without headaches. I’m telling you the same…you may not have to suffer anymore!
You must be sick and tired of headaches and sick and tired of hearing the same thing everyday…..By now, I’m sure you agree…
“Headaches Ruin, (And I Mean Ruin,) Everything!”
Does any of this sound familiar? I’m sure you hear yourself saying things like this in conversations everyday…
• “I have a headache again!”
• “My head hurts!”
• “Mr. or Mrs. Supervisor, I won’t be in today, I have one of those headaches…again.”
• “I can’t go out tonight, my head hurts again!”
• “I can feel a pulse in my head! What’s wrong with me?”
• “It feels like I have a headache in my eye!”
• “My head hurts…all the way down into my neck!”
• “Didn’t I just have a headache the day before yesterday?”
• “I’m nauseas, my head hurts…why does this happen all the time?”
• Some patients I have helped in the past were actually worried they had a BRAIN TUMOR their headaches were so bad.
Maybe you’ve been experiencing splitting headaches your whole life and just have learned to accept them. Maybe you’ve become so used to taking aspirin or pain relievers that you’ve learned to depend on them thinking it’s the only way you can survive.
WARNING: CONSUMMING OVER THE COUNTER PAIN RELIEVERS CAUSES THE STOMACH LININNG TO BLEED AND AFFECTS YOUR BLADDER, LIVER, AND KIDNEY AND CAN EVEN CAUSE STOMACH ULCERS.
If any of the above sounds familiar, your body is acting in a way that it’s not supposed to. You may feel that headaches are normal. A part of life. They shouldn’t be. (Even if your day to life may imply otherwise.)
It seems you can have the best day planned, the most exciting night planned, you can be with your favorite people simply trying to have a good time, or maybe even relaxing at home, but then it happens……your headache returns and causes not only uncomfortable, pressure and pain, but also a huge portion of life gets removed from each of your experiences. You’re missing out. Your headaches are truly affecting your happiness and piece of mind.
It’s not worth it, and I’m about to show you how “pain free” may be possible for you. I’m about to give you all the information you need so can you know that you don’t have to live like this anymore. You’re probably wondering why your head is bothering you so much…

“Here’s The Underlying Reason for your Headache Pain…”
I want you to think back for a second, maybe one, two, three even ten years back. Do you ever remembering playing rough house with your kids? Playing football or falling down diving for a softball, or even falling on the basketball court or in the yard?
Have you been in a car accident? Did you ever experience any type of trauma (minor or major) within the past 10-20 years? If you answered yes to any of these, you be suffering from a typical headache that 90% of doctors and so called specialists misdiagnose…it’s call a Cervicogenic Headache. Just a fancy way of saying a headache, but with “the head” not really being the source of the actual pain.
These type headaches are sometimes characterized by pain on one side of the head, sometimes with associated neck pain on the same side but not always. Someone with these headaches perceives pain in the head, but the actual source of the pain lies in the cervical spine.

I have 28 years of clinical experiene in helping people detect and relieve not only these type of headaches, but most types of headaches, by pinpointing the originating source of the headache then carefully abolishing the culprit with a strategic attack at it’s core.
Here’s how I’m different than any MD or even any Chiropractor you have ever seen in the past and that difference is 28 years of clinical experience combined with cutting edge Brain Based Therapy and Exercise with Oxygen Therapy!.
(By the way the last 6 years of my career I spent working in the largest Multi-discipline health care facility in the Southwest located in Phoenix Arizona. I worked with Medical Doctors, Doctors of Osteopathy, Anesthesiologists and Physical Therapists…and they readily admit they don’t have all the answers Hey they even recommend my care and were regularly treated by me…. and I have the letters of recommendation to prove it!)
1) The neurological brain based Therapy system delves into how your brain is working itself and then how it is communicating with the rest of your nervous system.
2) The BBT-Brain Based Therapy Brain Based System I have studied and utilize in my practice everyday gives me insight as to which of the brain’s “thermostats” which speed up or slow done brain interpretation and commands to the rest of the nervous system.
3) We then utilize the Insight Millineum system and scan your spine to determine where and I mean exactly where your nerves are pinched. We actually give you a print out so you can see for yourself..
4) Then we re-check your spine to see what has been accomplished and it’s all right there for you to see and understand. This system allows us a consistent, computerized and comfortable diagnostic and treatment instrument to zero in on the ROOT cause of your Headaches.

Hey, I agree medication sometimes instantly relieves the pain and/or perception of pain in the head or neck area and many people feel better right away. Sound good? Keep reading because these types of headache medications are good and bad, but mostly bad.
First, they’re good because once they’re properly taken by a headache sufferer; headaches are numbed in a short period of time. BUT are they really gone?….. or just covered up! Hey, when you have a toothache and take an aspirin or get a shot of Novocain the pain goes away but the cavity is still there…and getting worse while you are numb to the destruction!!!!
These quick fix prescription and/or over the counter meds are bad because if the person experiencing headaches doesn’t address the problem soon enough, this type of fast, relieving remedy medications provide in some situations doesn’t work as quickly and effectively (or may not work at all in the long run) because your body’s receptor sites for the drug becomes desensitized and you need to take ever increasing amounts of your medication.

WARNING WARNING For every medication you take there is a documented side effect to that drug!!! Want proof? Just listen to the end of each and every drug commercial on TV. You know when they talk at 200 words per second. It’s so bad it’s almost comical. It really makes me wonder if people who take medication know what the side effects of their medications are. Check out the magazines on the shelf..just about every week there is an article about how certain families of drugs don’t really work.

My point is this: if you feel you’ve been suffering from headaches too long, and they come and go too often, you may have a Cervicogenic type of headache. I can’t guarantee it but I’m almost sure. Let me help you try to get rid of the pain and do my best to tell you what’s going. WHY NOT find out if the most advanced technology for normalizing the ROOT CAUSE of nervous system may be for you!

Sciatic pain and herniated disc helped by Exercise with Oxygen therapy? What is it?Low Back Pain and Sciatica GONE

 Exercise with Oxygen Therapy or EWOT is making headway in many Chiropractic offices and even in some medical offices across the country and I use EWOT for a myriad of health issues in my chiropractic office. What are some of the benefits of EWOT? I offer this therapy in my office in Phoenix (Anthem) Arizona.

• EWOT can dramatically increase oxygenation of the tissues and cells.
• Help recover from stress related health issues.
• Stimulate the immune system
• Helps in the prevention of age related issues by either slowing and in some cases reversing the overall process of aging.
• Helps with chronic pain syndromes such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia and Sciatica.
• Increase the diameter of your blood vessels called capillaries
• Recover from jet lag (next time you fly find an Oxygen bar and take a 20 minute session but be sure to tell them you do not want any aroma therapy with it..you will more than likely be immediately refreshed.)
• EWOT clinically also helps with some types of dizziness issues- did you know that the part of the brain that modulates your sense of balance and coordination is called your Cerebellum? The Cerebellum comprises only 2% of your body mass but demands and utilizes 20% of the Oxygen that you breathe.

 German researchers and German medical doctors have extolling the advantages of Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) for over five decades. EWOT sounds more complicated than it really is. In my practice here in Anthem Arizona we utilize an Oxygen concentrator while my patient sits in a chair and uses an upper body Ergometer (sort of a stationary bike for your arms) and breathe enhanced Oxygen air that is 94-95% pure. The patient has a cannula that fits comfortably in the nose and is draped over the ears like sun glasses. The results we are getting with EWOT in combination with Chiropractic are quite remarkable. The idea with the oxygen and exercise together is that this causes more of an Oxygen uptake and gets it into the cells faster.

 German researchers have several case studies whereas they documented that Oxygen with Exercise actually caused blood plasma to become oxygenated whereas it used to be thought that this Oxygen carrying was all done by the red blood cells. There are cells in the body that can obtain oxygen more easily when the blood plasma is oxygenated. This helps the body’s functional capacity. Oxygen concentration of the air we breathe is approximately 29% Oxygen but one must take into account in our modern society we deal with air pollutants that may bring those levels of the air we normally breathe dangerously lower than 29%. It could be said that EWOT is a “breathe of fresh air.”

 One of my exercise gurus Scott Sonnan who incepted Circular Strength Technique CST touts the value of deep breathing exercises in his series “Be Breathed”. This is a system of breathing exercises that actually teaches people how to do deep breathing exercises because he believes that we do not breathe deeply enough on a regular basis which allows our own natural oxygenation to take place.

 The combination of low exercise levels, shallow breathing, constant stress, and the air quality we normally breathe combines for a very low level of blood plasma oxygen levels which in turn causes a type of oxygen deprivation which in turn can literally affect the entire cell physiology. Performing EWOT re-establishes a more normal functional oxygenation process.

 These same German researchers have been quoted as saying That EWOT is effective for the renormalization of the Oxygen loading of the blood in the lungs functionally degenerated by old age or severe stress, early stage cataract, glaucoma, loss of field of vision, impaired focus, angina pectoris, arrhythmias, prophylaxis and rehabilitation for heart disease, edema, peripheral circulation disorders, especially in the lower extremities, circulation disorders, dizziness of old age, senile diabetes, hypertension, general acceleration of any rehab program; lasting increase of physical performance capacity, defense stimulation ( immune system stimulation) especially after classical cancer treatments that use radiation and chemotherapy”. I do want to emphasize that none of this has been evaluated or approved by the FDA nor do I think it ever will be because of the costs associated with getting anything approved by the FDA. Who or what corporation is going to pay 5 million dollars to the FDA to say it’s safe to breathe Oxygen while you exercise?

 If you read the issues that the German researchers quote EWOT helps that pretty much covers Fibromyalgia and its related symptom complex including “Fibro Fog”, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, chronic pain syndromes, dizziness and overall human functional capacity. So when does conventional medicine prescribe any type of Oxygen therapy, usually when one develops emphysema or is in a traumatic situation where the body may be in a state of shock. Most people who are transported to the hospital by ambulance have Oxygen administered immediately.

 I opine as a Chiropractor why wait to the extremes let’s get started with Oxygen therapy right now! If you are suffering in pain and have tried to see if it will go away your body is in a stressful situation and EWOT will help decrease the inflammatory cascade that goes hand in hand with back and neck related issues. I use EWOT as away to stay young and to give my body an advantage of a “breathe of fresh air” for 20 minutes three times a week. And you can do this at my clinic in Phoenix Arizona.

Brain Based Therapy.. A Solution To Chronic Pain That is Totally Natural

Phoenix (Anthem) Arizona- My name is Dr John Dr “Q” Quackenbush Chiropractic Physician and I employ and administer Brain Based Therapy (BBT-Brain Based Therapy) at my office in Phoenix (Anthem) Arizona for Chronic Pain Syndromes such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Migraine headaches, dizziness and a myriad of Chronic pain Syndromes.

The great news is, I have studied a step by step approach to first accurately diagnose and then to specifically treat each layer of the chronic pain syndromes each layer at a time

(Often there is more than just one factor) with Brain Based Therapy.

Of greatest importance is that all of the therapies we use are non-invasive, carry no side effects, and often work quickly to get you out of pain and start feeling great again! In fact, every therapy we apply has been scientifically proven to work.

What I have found really works and as of late has been written about in Time magazine and featured on CNN video.

I have been studying BBT-Brain Based Therapy under the tutelage of Dr Michael Johnson, DABCN a board certified Chiropractic neurologist and author of the book “What do you do when the medications don’t work- a non drug treatment of Dizziness, Migraine Headaches, Fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions.”

BBT-Brain Based Therapy protocols guides the clinician to apply specific therapies to peel back and correct the different layers of your chronic condition one layer at a time which makes for usually effective results with chronic pain. Similar to baking a cake… when one ingredient is left out, the results will be dramatically different in the end.

In the January 2002 Newsweek article “Rewiring your Grey Matter” author Shirley Begley states “You can teach an old brain new tricks.” BBT-Brain Based Therapy is based on the fact that you can create new pathways for the brain to re connect with its self regulating systems and how it sends messages to the nervous system and how it interprets information from the nervous system. Neurobiologist Michael Mezenrich of the university of California, San Francisco states emphatically “The brain constantly re-organizes and you can create (new) brain from the input you give it and this is called Neuroplasicity.”

When you undergo our BBT-Brain Based Therapy in the Phoenix (Anthem) Arizona area we determine where the miscommunication takes place within the brain and nervous system and we create your own personalized program utilizing the Mechanics of Neuroplasicity to help the network of your brain communication to essentially rewire!

Even better I have made everything about your treatment as easy as I possibly could, so you will start feeling better –Quickly!

What is BBT-Brain Based Therapy anyway?

• It is Safe And Gentle. Your treatment is painless and actually feels great. No more grueling exercises that leave you feeling exhausted. In Fact, it’s so gentle you will look forward to each treatment you receive.
• It Works Fast And is Extremely Effective. Often more effective than traditional medical & Chiropractic approaches.
• It Is Totally Natural. No drugs here. That means that you don’t have to worry about harmful side effects like you do with pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication and/or Anti-depressant drugs.
• It Is Easy To Follow And Doesn’t Require A Lot Of Effort. Your program is personalized, systematic and easy to follow, so you will start to feel good fast. In fact, because of these very reasons you will stay motivated to follow through until you are pain free and able to do the activities you enjoy again.

Here are a few techniques that are employed with BBT-Brain Based Therapy .

• EWOT- Exercise with Oxygen Therapy- This technique alone will help you immense ly because it activates the brain to increase firing and to work ore efficiently. Your Brain needs Glucose and Oxygen to work correctly. We do this utilizing specially designed Oxygen Concentrators and you actually breathe in Oxygen through a cannula while you exercise with an upper body ergometer. ( after the age of 29 you loose the ability to Oxygenate your cells by 1 % per year)  I will cover EWOT- Exercise with Oxygen Therapy in a future article.
• Unilateral Adjustments- This type of adjusting is crucial for BBT-Brain Based Therapy is crucial for re-integrating and specifically helping the brain that is not firing properly to once again fire properly.
• Auricular Therapy- This is stimulation of Acupuncture points in the ear and is completely painless and very effective.
• Cold Laser Therapy- Our cold laser will utilizes light therapy to work on trigger points in your muscular system.
• Dizziness Exercises- we employ specific movements to help your inner ear and Cerebellum to re-coordinate to help with dizziness.

Conditions We’ve Found Respond Best To This Revolutionary Brain Based Therapy

1. Fibromyalgia
2. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
3. Migraine headaches
4. Dizziness/ Balance
5. Chronic Low Back Pain
6. Chronic Neck/Shoulder Problems
7. RLS Restless Leg Syndrome
8. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
9. Peripheral Neuropathy
