HEAD NECK PAIN
In the head and neck there are nearly 35 joints, including the jaw joints, each capable of causing significant head neck pain. Headaches today cause an enormous problem with absenteeism in the workplace, lost manhours, and costs Medical insurance companies billions in dollars.
Whilst the management of headaches needs to be a multi-disciplinary task, over 70% of headaches come from a problem in the neck. This could be due to a curvature of the spine that was poorly managed in childhood...
Certainly headaches could be coming from a Cervical Facet syndrome that came from trauma. Perhaps an untreated whiplash from a car accident or fall, sport trauma, or simply long hours in the office, spent surfing the net and playing computer games.
The jaw joints too make a massive contribution to migraine headaches that plague millions of people? Clicking, popping jaw, pain on the side of your head, perhaps radiating to the eye, nausea, flashing lights? TMJ ear pain? It could be your jaw joint that is causing your migraines.
The 'thunderclap headache' is a medical emergency. Sudden onset worst headache of my life - get to the emergency rooms quickly.

RIB PAIN TREATMENT
The ribs are connected via three joints (each) to the spine, and one anteriorally to the breastbone. That makes 4 joints x 24 joints, each capable of causing pain.After a flurry of sneezes, the 'sprung rib' causes sharp pain with every breath. More commonly it causes a deep ache between the shoulder blades.
A disturbance of the normal rhythm of rib movement in breathing also frequently causes disconcerting breastbone pain. Unheeded it turns into a "Tietzes syndrome" - deep aching pain in the chest. If it's on the left side patients often think they are having a heart attack. Referrals from cardiologist are becoming more common. That chest pain isn't angina after all, fortunately! And it's very treatable, as you can see from this Tietzes syndrome casefile.
Do you have a teenager in the house who is always slouching and complaining of backache? The solution may not be to "sit up straight, Jan" but the careful management of Scheuermanns Disease.

SPRAINED ANKLE
CHIROPRACTOR Grahamstown PortAlfred Uithenhage
Many chiropractors today have attended advanced courses in athletic injuries, called FICS. Many chiropractors now are being called up to attend the Olympics and World Games for example, and top sportsmen and women have their own personal chiropractor. Treating the badly sprained ankle, Patello Femoral Pain Syndrome, Femero Acetabular Impingement Syndrome PINCER are for example all now routine in the chiropractic office. If these conditions are not carefully managed, the hyaline cartilage in the joint invariably becomes arthritic...

LEECHES, or thoughts from COLIC CHIROPRACTIC RESEARCH ?
Kate Pigot to Mrs. Newton, from Pigot Park, May 1826.My dearst Grandmama,
"We kept Sophy's first birthday on the 13th of May, such a beautiful little girl as she is, daintily made with an abundance of gold hair curling over her head... she is not quite outgrown her early delicacy, whilst she cut her teeth her mother Sophia had cause for anxiety. By chance Dr Campbell at the Cowie that day and we called him in. He looked grave, spoke of possible water on the brain and prescribed a leech to the head, calomel and blue powder, Sophia to rub loaf sugar on the gums, and if necessary engage him to lance them. S. and me both of the opinion this treatment too harsh for a tender little child.
It so befell, a wagon came from Uitenhage with oranges for Mr. Cowderoy the customs office. Bertha recollected a recipe of her mothers for infusing orange leaves to comfort a baby's fevered gums. No orange trees at the Cowie, but some of the fruit had leaves attached, we made the infusion and applied it without reference to the Doctor! Sophy's tooth through not long after and she happy again."
