BAD BACK BASICS

 

TOO MANY AUSTRALIANS CONSIDER BACK PAIN A FACT OF LIFE

Too many Australians are accepting back pain as a fact of life, turning to painkillers when the discomfort becomes intense and not exploring the underlying “big picture” reasons for their discomfort, according to the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (National)(CAA).

National research, commissioned for National Chiropractic Care Week 2009 (May 18-24) found 67% of Australians suffer from back pain on a weekly basis and one in four Australians suffers daily pain.[i]

Among retirees, the prevalence of back pain is much higher with one in three suffering daily from back pain.i

Despite the burden of back pain, the majority of Australians consider themselves to be in good health even though three quarters of respondents don’t take the recommended amount of daily exercise.i

Local CAA member, chiropractor Dr David A Jones said, “Lack of exercise is one of the key contributing factors to back pain and poor spinal health along with other ‘big picture’ lifestyle choices such as diet, smoking and poor posture. It’s not just back pain it’s the big picture.”

Escape to an environment of pure relaxation. Relaxation Massage is an amazing way to sooth tension and manage stress. A gift voucher for someone you love for a 30 min or 60 min massage gives even the most hectic and frantic person the opportunity to slow down and get taken away to a place of deep relaxation.

Joshua Hardidge has a firm touch that sooths the superficial layers and also all the deeper tissue that often becomes quite tight. His technique has been described as a rhythmic, constant flow, working from light to firm pressures with a vast range of techniques with a thorough, skilled hand.

Did you know that chiropractic may help with children’s middle ear infections?

A key cause of poor fluid drainage from the middle ear is dysfunction (subluxation) of the upper cervical spine. Nerves from the upper cervical spine control the function of a muscle called ‘tensor veli palatini’ which has an important impact on the eustachian tube and its ability to drain fluid from the middle ear. Upper cervical spine dysfunction (subluxation) affects the nerves leaving the upper cervical spine resulting in fluid accumulation in the middle ear. The fluid which builds up in the middle ear is then ripe for infection to develop.

We use a wholistic approach. It is important to look at allergies and to provide nutritional support to improve immune function and regulate inflammation. Also use of acidophilus and bifidobacterium cultures aids normalization of the intestinal tract environment which has been damaged as a result of antibiotic use.
