Dr. Christopher Foglia



Finally...
the Treatments
I REALLY Needed!
My hands were killing me.  I’d been told I had carpal tunnel and needed wrist surgery.  The wrist surgery made me worse!  But Dr. Foglia said it was actually my neck that was the problem.  Between his laser treatments and decompression machine, he fixed me up fast.  I still can’t believe I had surgery.  Now I have no pain or pins and needles in my hands.

“The arthritis doctor told me I’d be wheelchair-bound." 
 After failed surgery, 
those doctors just gave up on me.  What a disaster.  They told me I’d have to be in a wheelchair the rest of my life.  My back was a mess... I wish I’d come to Dr. Foglia first.  It would have saved me a fortune of money and years of unneccesary pain.

 "I praise God that I found Dr. Foglia"

“If you’re tired of hearing that nothing can be done for your back pain—go see Dr. Chris Foglia.  You’ll get straight talk without doctor mumbo jumbo.  And you’ll be amazed at the results.  Everything is painless.  I still can’t believe I’m finally out of pain.

"I just feel like a whole new person"

I was at the point where I just couldn’t function.  I was told [by other doctors] that the only thing that could be done was cervical fusion surgery... So I came to see Dr. Foglia.  At first he used his cold laser on my neck.  Then he did some neck adjustments.  It took a few weeks, but I was gradually getting able to move my neck better.  Eventually, the pain was gone.  I could actually sleep again.  I am so grateful that words can’t describe it.

"My neck and back pain prevented me from doing just about everything"

  I couldn’t drive a car for more than 15 minutes without pain shooting down my legs.  I was doped up on so many drugs that it wasn’t really even safe to drive anyway.  I was like a walking zombie.  Now thanks to Dr. Foglia it’s like I have a whole new life.  All I had to do was lay down on his spinal decompression machine and take painless laser treatments.  It was like a miracle.

The Pain Was Unbearable
“I had two slipped discs in my neck about 4 years ago... I took so many pills, I could have opened my own pharmacy!
 After only a few short weeks of treatment [with Dr. Foglia] I was feeling better.  I was able to wean myself off of all the drugs in no time.  I don’t hurt any more.  I feel like a totally brand new woman.  Please, please don’t be skeptical because a doctor doesn’t give you pills or do surgery.  Maybe you could get your life back too.

Thanks a million for giving me my life back! 

 I went to doctor after doctoer and nobody helped me.   They didn’t listen to me and they didn’t look hard enough to find out what was causing my pain.  But YOU did, thank God!  Before I can to you, I lived with constant pain.  I appreciate your compassion, understanding and knowledge.  We need more doctors like you

"Life is worth living again!"

I did lots of physical therapy and took countless drugs, but nothing worked... I became hopeless and confused. My family medical doctor told me I was going to have to “learn to live with the pain.”   Boy was he wrong!  Dr. Foglia proved that so.  The pain in my neck and shoulders is completely gone.  And I didn’t even need surgery or any pills at all... Don’t give up.  Dr. Foglia’s got answers.  He made my life worth living again.

Hand and Wrist Pain Can Be A Royal Pain in the Neck

    New Non-Surgical Technological Solutions Bring Blessed Relief to Long Island Residents


    The U.S. Department of Labor called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome the "chief occupational hazard of the 90s"... disabling workers in epidemic proportions.  “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome” affects over 8 million Americans.  It’s also the #1 reported medical problem, accounting for about 50% of all work related injuries. And while over 200,000 surgeries are performed annually, reports have revealed only about 25% of all patients are able to return to their previous professions following surgery… and up to 36% of carpal tunnel syndrome patients require unlimited medical treatment.  

    Could it be that carpal tunnel surgery is something to be questioned more carefully?

    Carpal tunnel syndrome isn't like a broken bone or a cut.  It develops slowly; it's barely noticeable.  One might not even take it seriously at first.  
But the symptoms slowly build and build.  It could start with some numbness and tingling... then it might become more difficult to type at the computer.  You give your family doctor a visit.  If you're like many people, here's what you've been told:

  "You’ve got carpal tunnel syndrome.  Take this medicine and wear these wrist braces... come back if it doesn't work."
 
    The problem here is that the exact same symptoms of "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome” can have several different causes... many of which are NOT even near your wrist!

FACT:  If your doctor doesn't examine or consider those other areas...you have NOT been given a thorough examination for your condition.  Any doctor that assumes you have true carpal tunnel syndrome, simply because you have wrist or hand pain, tingling, numbness or weakness...

    Is Missing the Boat!

    If your doctor assumes that your wrist is the ONLY cause of the symptoms, and focuses treatment only on that, the same criticism applies.

    Myth: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is Caused by Computer Usage. 

    Reality: A 2005 Havard medical study reports that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is simply NOT caused by computer usage! A 2001 Mayo Clinic neurology study reported the same. You’ll soon understand why!

    Why treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may fail

    Fortunately for you, if your doctor's treatments fail it doesn’t mean you're incurable.  It may simply be that nobody was looking in the RIGHT place, or places.  If the diagnosis is WRONG; the treatment is likely to be WRONG too.  Focusing exclusively on the WRIST is a huge mistake when considering the symptoms of pain, tingling, numbness and weakness in the wrist and hand.  

    Here's why:

    Wrist pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness are symptoms of NERVE entrapment.  In other words, the nerves that travel from your brain to your fingers must be "pinched" or compressed somewhere along that pathway.  The amazing thing about your nervous system is that interference in one place can give you symptoms in other places…far away from the interference.

    
    
    Because of the complexity of the nerve pathways from your BRAIN,  down and out through your NECK... through your SHOULDER area... down your ARM... and finally... through your wrist... It is possible that...

  


    You May NOT Even Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome!  

    If you think that all cases of wrist or hand pain, tingling, numbness or weakness are caused by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...

    Think again!

    The TRUTH: Solid scientific evidence reveals that many cases of so-called “carpal tunnel syndrome” have little or nothing to do with the wrist at all! Let's explore this by first answering the "burning question"...

    What Exactly IS Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?  

      The term "carpal" simply means WRIST.

    The Carpal Tunnel is:

a small tunnel or canal inside the wrist.  It's formed by the bones of the wrist, which are of course called: CARPALS.

    The other part that makes up the Carpal Tunnel is a ligament - a tough band between some of the bones.   

There Are 3 Structures Inside The Carpal Tunnel: 

    1. The Median Nerve – controls some hand movement and sensation 

    2. Nine Flexor Tendons that enable you to curl your wrist and fingers  

    3. Blood vessels
 
    "True Blue" Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is when the MEDIAN NERVE is compressed or entrapped within the CARPAL TUNNEL.  What few people seem to understand is that the MEDIAN NERVE originates in the NECK.  Then it travels under your collarbone, down the center of your forearm and finally through the carpal tunnel to the hand muscles.

    Why is this SO important?

    There Are 8 Possible Areas Where the Nerve Can Be Compressed!  Consider some of the symptoms of MEDIAN NERVE Compression (not necessarily Carpal Tunnel Syndrome):  Pain in the Wrist… Numbness in the fingers… Tingling or other abnormal hand sensations…Weakness of hands… Neck Pain… Swelling

    These are ALL symptoms commonly misdiagnosed as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome…when in fact…they are caused by Median Nerve compression in ANY or ALL of the 8 areas!!  

    The Median Nerve comes straight out between the bones of your NECK 

    If your doctor does not properly examine your neck, as well as all possible “crush sites” he/she is missing the boat and should not (in my opinion) be treating you for "carpal tunnel syndrome!  See in the Gray's Anatomy diagram to the left how the nerves depicted in yellow, 
travel down the arm to the hand?   

    This means that a problem anywhere from the NECK to the actual carpal tunnel can cause nerve compression.   

    Misaligned bones in the neck, bulging discs, tight neck muscles, an extra rib (some people are born with them), shoulder or elbow injuries, inflamed tendons, and misaligned wrist bones can ALL compress the Median Nerve, causing in the SAME SYMPTOMS!

    Since you're aware that most doctors are trained to treat symptoms, you can understand how they might miss the neck and the other zones when treating “carpal tunnel syndrome?”

 
    Treatment for "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome" and Other Sources of Median Nerve Compression:

    The proper treatment is determined through proper diagnosis.  For example, if the cause of symptoms of hand tingling, numbness, weakness and/or pain is coming from the neck, the primary treatment could be chiropractic, manual therapies, cold laser therapy, or spinal decompression therapy.  If the wrist is indeed the culprit, Cold Laser Therapy is an excellent choice, and/or Kinesio-taping.  These have all been outstanding treatments for median nerve compression syndromes. 

    If you have TRUE Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (Median Nerve compression at the wrist, or carpal tunnel), Cold Laser Therapy is an outstanding treatment method which is painless and non-surgical.  It has been effective even for patients who have had failed wrist or neck surgery.
