    ARTHRITIS

    Chiropractic is all about the prevention of arthritis. There's now oddles of research, convincing research not done by chiropractors, that joints that are NOT IN MOTION quite rapidly develop immobilisation arthritis.

    That's why whiplash is such a serious condition. It causes fixations in the joints of the neck. Result? Hyaline cartilage degeneration and immobilisation arthritis.

    HEAD NECK PAIN

    CHIROPRACTOR Fourways Illovo Kyalami Midrand Lonehill Sunninghill

    The joints of the head and neck, primarily as can be seen from the TMJ anatomy, the Atlanto Occipital Joint and the Lower Cervical facet anatomy cause most of the head neck pain that we see on a daily basis in our Chiropractic clinics.

    Sometimes the underlying cause is a scoliosis that was poorly managed in childhood, sometimes a whiplash injury and often simply too many hours doing the couch potato thing.

    LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN

    CHIROPRACTOR Fourways Illovo Kyalami Midrand Lonehill Sunninghill

    The treatment of low back and leg pain has become in the United States the single most costly health care malady. Two insurance companies did some research on patients covered for Chiropractic and those not covered for Chiropractic and discovered, despite the fact that they EXCLUDED the cost of surgery and advanced imaging, that the Chiropractic group brought them significant savings.

    In our clinics we also see patients on a daily basis who have had total hip replacement surgery and yet continue to have significant low back, sacroiliac joint and hip pain. Often this is not because the surgical treatment of the hip arthritis was poorly done, but because the fixation in the sacroiliac joint anatomy was not addressed. LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN ...

    GROIN AND UPPER LEG PAIN

    CHIROPRACTOR Fourways Illovo Kyalami Midrand Lonehill Sunninghill

    Severe pain in the groin and upper leg is extremely disabling and distressing. The causes are often complex. It can be a pinched nerve as in Meralgia Paresthetica, or referred leg pain during pregnancy, capulitis, Femero Acetabular Impingement syndrome, Developmental Hip Dysplasia and a host of other conditions.

    The limping child must be carefully assessed. Growing pain doesn't exist, but Perthes Disease certainly does. LEG PAIN DURING PREGNANCY ...

    HIP PAIN

    CHIROPRACTOR Fourways Illovo Kyalami Midrand Lonehill Sunninghill

    Hip pain is treated routinely, daily, in chiropractic clinics. It could be adanced hip arthritis, which may need to be referred for an orthopaedic consultation, but more usually it relates to the pre-arthritic hip conditions.

    Two of these are fairly common, Developmental Hip Dysplasia, and the fairly recently discovered Femero Acetabular Impingment Syndrome which often progress to hip arthritis if left untreated.

    A third is Perthes Disease which is fortunately rather less common. NEVER, EVER, dismiss the limping child complaining of hip, thigh or knee pain. Growing pains are a myth and, if missed, Perthes progresses relentlessly to severe disability. PERTHES DISEASE of the hip. The limping child ...

    I had lunch on Sunday with a good friend who in every other way is in extremely good health. A missed Perthes disease. He is constantly on morphine, and uses either a crutch or wheelchair. Tragic mis-diagnosis.

    The severe form of DDH will usually be picked up by the discerning paediatrician, or chiropractor treating the colicky baby. They will be looking for the typical signs of Hip Dysplasia Ortholani Galeazzi and Barlow. HIP DYSPLASIA ORTOLANI GALEAZZZI BARLOW ...

    DEVELOPMENTAL HIP DYSPLASIA ...

    However the mild forms of DDH do slip through the fingers, causing groin pain, often starting in the young adult.

    FAIS is characterised by a very stiff hip with a "hard end-feel" in the young adult.

    Both DDH and FAIS need to be carefully managed, or a total hip replacement is on the cards. FEMERO ACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME Case File ...

    NUTRITIONAL CORNER

    Did you know that freshly squeezed orange has far more nutrients and vitamin C than the carton variety? Take the test, it tastes far better too. Plant an orange tree in the spring this year. ORANGE JUICE FACTS ...

    BROCCOLI FACTS

    It's interesting that broccoli has even more vitamin C than OJ, plus it's loaded with proven anti-cancer substances. Just four plants in your garden will supply your family for months. Plant them in the autumn for best results. BROCCOLI FACTS ...

    PROTEIN

    Protein is found in many foods, commonly fish, fowl, and red meat. Perhaps you haven't heard of Tofu and Hummus, two excellent vegetable proteins. Both have zero cholesterol and have powerful anti-cancer phytogens. Eat them weekly. At these links you can read more about Tofu nutrition and an authentic hummus recipe.

    It's probably temporary inflammation of the median nerve, but of course could be worse... I'm afraid I don't think chiropractic has anything to offer at this stage.

    Once everything has healed up, if you don't get the strength back, or your fingers remain numb and tingly, then I'd consult a local chiro to see if there is also a problem in your neck or the first rib.
