What
conditions can be helped by Chiropractic?
|
Back
Pain
Back Pain can have many causes but the most common
result from misalignment of the bones of the pelvis and spine.
Many patients come into the clinic having suffered with back pain
for many years. They have
tried many alternatives, and find that the gentle, whole- body
McTimoney Technique works. |
Frozen
Shoulder
Patients who come to see us with "frozen shoulders" often
have a variety of symptoms. Some
have severe pain around the shoulder, some can not move the shoulder very
much, and others have pain in both the shoulder and radiating down the
arm. Generally the problem
originates in the nerves that control the shoulder.
The nerve has become damaged in some way and is not only failing to
control the muscles correctly but also sending pain signals to the brain.
Correcting the alignment of the bones of the body allows the nerve
to heal and the messages to get through correctly again.
Chiropractic can be very effective at treating frozen shoulders,
along with other complaints such as Tennis Elbow.

Headaches
Chiropractic can be very effective in treating headaches.
We have had many patients come to see us with headaches that have
been happening for a very long time.
They have almost given up trying to find a solution.
Once again the problem often lies in the upper spine and once this
is re-aligned with gentle adjustments the headaches have gone away.

Migraine
Migraine can have many causes; however in our experience there is
often a connection between migraine and problems with the vertebrae of the
neck. The gentle and safe
McTimoney neck adjustments, in conjunction with treating the whole body as
appropriate, frequently eliminates or dramatically improves the severity
or frequency of migraine attacks. It
is also important for patients to look at their diet when addressing
migraine, as there is often a link. |
Sciatic
Pain
Sciatic pain is often used to describe a variety of problems in the
lower back, down through the pelvis and into the legs.
This type of pain is common and very debilitating.
The pain is often the result of the nerves that run from the lower
back down the legs ( including the sciatic nerve) becoming stretched,
compressed, or damaged in some other way.
In order to relieve the damage to the nerve and allow it to heal we
realign the pelvis and spine. These
gentle and specific adjustments alleviate the cause of the problem and
allow the body to heal itself. |
Skin
Problems
Eczema
and other skin problems often originate from problems with the nervous
system. We have had wonderful
results working with patients, including young children, with serious skin
complaints. Improving the
function of the nervous system through chiropractic helps the body to
re-balance and heal. |
Vertigo
The
connection between the alignment of the bones of the body, in particular
the upper spine, and problems with dizziness, muzzy sensations and balance
problems are often not appreciated. We
have seen many patients in our clinic, often having first come to see us
for other reasons, who have found that chiropractic adjustment has made an
enormous difference to their quality of life.
