SPINAL MISALIGNMENTS cause not only back, neck and referred nerve pain such as headache, arm pain and sciatica BUT ALSO disturb nerve supply to related internal organs and glands causing dysfunction and illness. (See diagram below).
Maintaining Spinal Care is Essential for Optimum Health Back pain is a symptom, not a disease. It is generally agreed among back pain clinicians that most back problems are mechanical in origin, caused by the changes in the mobility of joints, which affect the normal function of the spine. Chiropractic is a specialist treatment for such complaints. The combined treatment of the musculo-skeletal system (the back muscles and joints), and the neural-spinal system (nerves coming from the spine), together with specific manipulation helps relieve the restricted mobility of locked joints which nips nerves and cause muscle spasm. We believe that mobility and exercise is crucial. During your first visit to a Chiropractor, a full “case history” will be taken. You will be asked questions not only about your particular problem at that time, but also about your past medical history. You will then have a physical examination and an X-ray to check the exact condition of your spine. The X-rays are taken while the patient stands, so that major curvatures can be discovered-most people get their back pain when they stand or sits, not when lying down. The X-rays will also detect any pressures on the discs, congenital deformities, bone cancer, osteoporosis (brittle bones in older people).
At the Consulting Clinics we take time to discuss the results with the patient, so that together we can devise a long-term plan of action. Manual treatment follows. We work on all the joints because if something is out of place, it will affect the whole spine, starting at the base of the skull and working down the pelvis, gradually loosening and mobilizing fixed joints. The cracking noise may be alarming to some people-but certainly isn’t painful. Chiropractic treatment is beneficial to people of all ages-from the elderly to the very young. CHILDREN in particular are prone to accidents, which jar the spine-from birth traumas to falls in early childhood, and so-called growing pains can be due to spinal injury. PREGNANT WOMEN often have back problems because the weight of the baby increases the stress on the spine and put the strain on the pelvic joints and the low back, causing pain. WHIPLASH injuries are best treated with immediate and gentle care by chiropractic doctors. Inactive lifestyles, bending over desks from nine to five, sitting in the cars and general bad postures are some of the reasons why such a huge percentage of adult population suffer from back and neck problems.
