WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?
I expect, before consulting a chiropractor, you most likely will want to know what we do and why. I would...
The tissues of the body - be they a muscle, such as that which lifts your big toe from the ground (called EHL), affected by the L4 Lumbar Spine, the skin of your hand, affected in a carpal tunnel sydrome, and organs - are controlled by nerves emerging from the spinal cord via a "foramen".
This foramen lies neatly tucked between the disc joint anteriorally (in front) and the facet joint posteriorally. Thus malalignment and dysfunction of either of these joints can materially affect the nerve emerging from the foramen.
The Median nerve is affected in this Carpal Tunnel Case File ...
Interesting research shows that fixated (subluxated) joints release noxious chemicals which not only inflame the joints themselves, but also begin to erode the hyaline cartilage that lines the bones in the joint (arthritis) and irritate the nerve emerging from the foramen.
HYALINE CARTILAGE ...
Chiropractor get discovered!
Are you a Chiropractor in South Africa and registered with CASA? Then, if you are registered at Chiropractic-Help.com (a once-off fee of R500), you can create a personalised webpage about yourself and your clinic. There's no extra charge for this service.
Include up to four photographs of yourself and your clinic, and of course remember to include your clinic address and phone number.
Bearing in mind the CASA rules concerning advertising, give some indication of extra courses you have attended (for example, have you completed the FICS courses?) and what you specialise in. You can brag just a little...!
RIB PAIN TREATMENT
The ribs, protecting the organs of the chest and giving impetus to breathing each have three joints articulating with the spine, and one with the breast bone. This breathing mechanism can be affected by trauma to the ribcage, and for example by a violent sneeze. A subluxation of any one of these four joints can cause very distressing pain, sometimes making breathing difficult.
If it affects the rib-breastbone joint on the left then it often causes great alarm. "Am I having a heart attack?" This condition, sometimes called Tietzes syndrome can be simply ameleriorated with Chiropractic care.
Many of the conditions of adulthood begin in childhood, perhaps with birth or in-utero trauma causing Hip Dysplasia, or Infantile Colic, or even a bad fall.
Only this morning I was consulted by a young woman who stated that she had suffered from low back pain and headaches since her early teens. On further questioning she recalls being involved when she was 11 or 12 in a chain-motor-vehicle-accident in which her mother had a serious whiplash.
Take seriously your child's complaints of headache and pains in the joints. In particular, the limping child should also be thoroughly assessed. Growing pains doesn't exist. A missed Perthes Disease will have tragic consequences.
You will most likely find your chiropractor asking pertinent questions about what you eat, and how you exercise. They have a profound affect on health; the best spinal care in the world is of little value if you get cancer, or have a heart attack and suddenly pass away. It happens believe you me, and not just to other people.
