Muscle Pain, Weakness, Liver Problems from Cholesterol Lowering Dugs

I have had several patients in the past year or so who suffered side effects due to the use of Cholesterol lowering drugs. Though the percentage of those who have these unintended reactions are small, when they get them they suffer 100%.

For more info Google this topic or go to http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8695102.stm to get started.

On a brighter note, I have helped these people recover faster with the Meridian Therapy(acupuncture points) testing and treatment(no needles). If you are someone you know has this reaction, call for an acupuncture point exam.

Dr DiVelbiss is not currently certified to use needles. He has practiced non-needle care for more than a decade including people with these side effects. However, each individual is different and not everyone can be helped by any methods. Examining you is the place to start! CALL 614-529-8171

Myofascial Trigger Points- Causing Your Pain or Symtoms

The muscles and soft tissues of the body can develop trigger points that cause pain, numbness, weakness, burning, posture changes, tightness, and a variety of visceral(internal organ mimicking) symptoms like dizziness, sinus pain, bowel problems, frequent urination or leaking...etc.

Dr. DiVelbiss works on these tender points and trigger points and has found that they exist in muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, skin and even organs like the large bowel.

By gently deactivating these points, the area function and health returns to normal in many cases.

If you want to get an idea of what trigger points can do, go to
triggerpoints.net. Then, call us and let's get you pain free and active again!

Scars that are still Active!

If you have a surface or deeper scar as a left-over from surgery, injuires or strains(torn tissues), you may continue to suffer what is called an "active" or toxic scar.

These irritated scars are painful, tight and did not heal right. They can be released and often relieve pain, nerve, muscle, blood flow issues that persist.

I often find patients with these active scars will have on-going muscle, nerve and joint problems that have not repsonded to other methods.

Go to: National Institute of Health...Click Here. This is a summary of a case study related to active scars.

Dr D practices a specialized form of Asian Medicine that treats and relieves these toxic scars...often in a few visits.
