QUINCY, MA, March 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) Patients who suffer from spinal complications don't enjoy the idea of spinal surgery. Thankfully, Dr. David Smith, Quincy, MA chiropractor, offers a new procedure to help eliminate the need for spinal surgery-spinal decompression therapy.
Spinal decompression therapy has quickly become a stable for treating patients with disc pathology such as degeneration, herniations, bulges, sciatica, neuropathy, and a host of others. Intervertebral disc pathology is one of the primary causes of neck and back pain in Quincy. The discs are prone to degeneration and injury as they are compressed and twisted through daily activities. Bulging or herniated discs often press on spinal nerves, which cause severe pain and radiculopathy.
Damaged intervertebral discs seldom heal because they remain under constant pressure, even while a person is at rest. Reduction of intradiscal pressures may help draw the nucleus pulposus of a herniated disc back into the center, thereby relieving pressure on the compressed nerve root alleviating the problem and the pain. It is widely accepted that the ideal environment to improve disc pathology is to decompress, or reduce the intradiscal pressures of the damaged disc (disc conditions in Quincy), which is achieved by spinal decompression.
"This therapy allows me to offer my patients an alternative to spinal surgery. Surgery is not always a patient's favorite choice. If I can offer a simpler procedure that offers improved results without the major downtime of surgery, I have successfully done my job. It is my goal to provide my patients the best care possible with minimal down time, and spinal decompression surgery allows me to do just that," said Dr. David Smith, providing treatment for auto accident injury in Quincy, among others.
Spinal decompression offered at Milton Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, Inc. varies per each individual case. The number of treatment visits may range from 20 to 30 over a course of 6-10 weeks, which can be determined with proper consultation with Dr. Smith. Even though this therapy is not covered by insurance, Milton Chiropractic offers a variety of payment options to help patients.

Authorities say Florida a hotbed for income tax fraud
2013-03-09
Tax season is here, and for most people that means digging out the box full of last year's records and receipts and starting the process of preparing and filing an income tax return.
For law enforcement officials in Florida, though, tax season brings its own unique concerns. This is because Florida leads the nation in identity theft-based tax return fraud. Over the past year, hundreds of Floridians have been arrested for using stolen information to file false tax returns in the hopes of getting a refund from the IRS or the Florida Department of Revenue.

Aging tires may be to blame in a Missouri rollover accident
2013-03-09
How old are your tires? Many do not readily know the answer to that question. Even a set of tires bought to replace aging threadbare tires could be older than assumed.
A recent news investigation found that the key to uncovering tire age is looking for a Department of Transportation four-digit code stamped on every tire that lists the week and year of manufacture. For example, a tire with the code 1503 was made the 15th week of 2003 and is about 10 years old.
Tires that are older than 6 years can be dangerous according to safety experts. Driving on old tires can greatly ...
