There's a heap of research now that proves that painkillers actually cause headaches.

Are you swallowing analgesics every day just "in case" you might get a headache? The daily consumption of any drug should be weighed very carefully.

It is generally acknowledged that about a quarter of a million persons die each year in the USA as a result of Iatrogenic Illness. The majority of deaths are caused by adverse reactions to drugs, and infection acquired in hospitals.

That's enough people to fill a moderately large city who die every year.

Consulting a chiropractor

You are likely to find that consulting a chiropractor is little different to consulting a medical doctor. Only the treatment will be quite different.

For, instead of treating your headaches with analgesics you will find that your Chiropractor will be looking for the source of your headaches. Is it head neck pain? Is your Migraine headache emanating from your jaw joint? Take a look at this page on TMJ ANATOMY

It's only my considered opinion, but I think EVERY SINGLE PERSON should be doing a simple basic set of low back exercises every morning before we get out of bed. They take less than a minute.

Lumbar Facet Arthropathy

Lumbar facet arthropathy is characterised by pain when bending backwards, and/or to the side. In the younger person is rarely radiates down the leg.

Spondylolysthesis casefile

This spondylolysthesis casefile is fairly typical of patients treated by chiropractor HydePark Morningside Parkmore Sandton Wendywood.

A childhood fracture in the low back, invariably undetected, and neglected fixations in the lumbar spine causing degeneration of the hyaline cartilage in the facet joints are two causes of a condition called "Spondylo-lys-thesis" that can produce spinal stenosis and chronic radiating pain to the legs.

It's best to deal with these conditions earlier rather than later..


Nutritional Corner

There's an epidemic of prostate cancer in the West today, robbing men of their very manhood, and ultimately killing many of them. It's the most common fatal cancer amongst men.

Prevention is the key. There's much research on the subject. For example, it's been proved that men with low selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant mineral, are five times more likely to get a prostate malignancy. So foods like broccoli, and dark green leafy vegetables in general should be daily on your family's menu.

So too, men who eat a tomato a day are 50 percent less likely to get prostate CA. This is due to lycopene, the substance that makes them red, and probably other unknown phytochemicals; some research suggests that it may be even better absorbed when cooked.

So too zinc, pumpkin seeds and avocados; it's back to our healthy living tips if we want to reduce the chance of getting prostate metastasis or enlargement.

Likewise breast disease and prevention is a subject that every woman should be on top of; it doesn't only happen to others. There are three simple things you should consider; fatty fish like salmon should be regularly on the table. A tablespoon of freshly ground flaxseed has both the lignans and omega 3 that have been identified to help.

And then lastly a diet rich in coloured foods like beets, strawberries, dark green leafy vegetables and carrots have the carotenes that our body needs to prevent serious illness.

Lastly, partly for other reasons, consider having eggs Florentine regularly for breakfast; if you have a source of fresh green spinach. There are many B vitamins in this dish, but choline is one that has been identified that we are desperately in short supply of.

Male spine motion during coitus

Numerous studies have shown that men suffering from low back pain tend to avoid sex by, on average, over fifty percent. As such this is particularly significant since sexual activity has been shown to be one measure of quality of life.

In a new study, published in the prestigous journal Spine 2014, the so called Quad positions, followed by the Missionary position 1 were shown to be kindest to men suffering from chronic low back pain.

Recommendations were than men suffering from acute low back pain should avoid coitus.

Since diagrams of these positions would be considered erotic, refer rather to the pdf found on google using Sidorkewicz_Natalie.pdf
