Seattle Pain Clinic prides in the revolutionary Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty treatments, both of which have proved massive hits among patients staying nearby. The clinic was always the first choice for most patients as a result of offering both simple and complex technologies in treatment, individualized therapies aided with state-of-the-art features. With spinal fractures becoming common and the pain uncontrolled, both these procedures as doctors say have minimized discomfort to a large extent.

Vertebral compression fracture is mostly dangerous for old people and people having some kind of bone related disease. The blocks of the vertebral column get compressed causing immense pain and immobility.

IF YOU want to lose weight, convince yourself that everything you eat is highly calorific. It could lower your levels of a hunger hormone, potentially suppressing your appetite. Alia Crum at Yale University and her colleagues gave 46 healthy volunteers the same 380-calorie milkshake but were told it was either a sensible, low-calorie choice or an indulgent, high-calorie one. The team also measured levels of ghrelin - a hormone released by the stomach when we are hungry - before and after participants drank the shake. Ghrelin levels have been shown to spike half an hour before mealtimes and return to normal after eating. Volunteers who thought they had indulged showed significantly greater drops in ghrelin levels than those who thought they had consumed less. The authors suggest that merely thinking that one has eaten something unhealthy can quell hunger pangs and perhaps help curb overeating (Health Psychology, DOI: 10.1037/a0023467). The study shows that food labels can affect consumption in unexpected ways, says David Cummings, an endocrinologist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
