 Custom Search MIGRAINE HEADACHEOften, any severe headache is labelled a "Migraine headache". Perhaps it is, and perhaps it isn't, but at the end of the day what is important is what role Chiropractic has to play.Undoubtedly, food allergies, stress and hormonal changes are somtimes, perhaps frequently, the underlying cause. On the other hand every chiropractor will on a daily basis be treating patients with head neck pain that has been labelled migraine headache. These people don't consult a chiropractor because they are neck-crack-junkies. They attend their local chiropractor because they get relief of pain. In fact, labelling a headache "migraine" or other, I often think is a cul-de-sac. The real question is, does the patient have pain triggers in the muscles of the neck? are there subluxations of the cervical spine? is there a fixation in the jaw joint? The proof of the pudding is...? In the eating of course! The jaw joint is undoubtedly one of the spokes in the wheel...

ARM PAINThere are hundreds of reasons why you may be having arm pain but, at the base of many of them is an irriated nerve in the neck. That could be a frank slipped disc, characterised by radiating pain into the arm when you turn your head to the same side, and simultaneously look upwards. Probably one of the most painful conditions in our clinics. The so-called "Shoulder abduction sign" will most likely be positive - you get relief by putting your hand on your head.The first rib in the lower neck too is often the "boosdoener" as we say in Dutch. That which makes your arm angry. Very angry. It is the cause of the so-called Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.

CERVICAL COMPRESSION TEST ... TENNIS ELBOW and CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROMECHIROPRACTOR Greenside JOHANNESBURGCENTRE Melrose ParktownNorth ParkwoodMany of the arm conditions are the result of a pinched or irritated nerve, somewhere between the neck and the hand. In the case of Carpal tunnel syndrome, the nerve may be tethered in several places like between the two bellies of the Pronator Terres muscle and in the neck: the so-called Double-Crush-Syndrome.
THE PELVISCHIROPRACTOR Greenside JOHANNESBURGCENTRE Melrose ParktownNorth Parkwood
There are many structures in and around the pelvis capable of causing severe pain. The sacroiliac joint, hip arthritis, the piriformis syndrome, Meralgia paresthetica, Maignes syndrome, the Iliotibial band syndrome ... It takes a careful and thorough examination by your chiropractor to see the wood from the trees. Remember too the little prostate gland, and the Kegal exercises ...
HEALTHY LIVING TIPSYou will likely find that you Chiropractor takes an interest in what you eat, and don't eat!, whether you exercise your body and your mind. It's called holistic healthcare. You're not just a bag of bones!For example, did you know that there is a very important tomato prostate link? And an apple diet doesn't only keep the doctor away. Dyslexia, sauteed mushrooms recipe for it's anti cancer properties, it's all vital if you want to reach a healthy happy eighty.
INTERMITTENT CLAUDICATIONThe word "claudication" means starved of oxygen. In a sense it's a problem that every smoker has. That's why a slipped disc, or any surgery for that matter, takes much longer to heal, if it heals at all.Personally I'm always apprehensive when treating smokers with severe low back or neck problems. I know that the likelihood of me winning are significantly less. Intermittent claudication refers to a condition where you get pain in the leg (primarly, it's really the same as angina which is pain in the heart muscle for the same reason, oxygen starvation) only when you exercise. At rest you have no problem. But when you walk, cycle, run... you get pain in the leg. It's caused by an artery in the groin blocked with cigarette ash! At rest just enough blood gets through. When you exercises... the leg begins to complain. "Give me air... " A short story from chiropractor BERNARD PRESTON ...

"My thumb, forefinger and middle finger went weak after cuff surgery."
"Hello,I take it you've been back to the surgeon.
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.
