CONSULTING A CHIROPRACTOR
CHIROPRACTOR HydePark Morningside Parkmore Sandton Wendywood
You are likely to find that consulting a chiropractor is little different to consulting a medical doctor. Only the treatment will be quite different.
CONSULTING A CHIROPRACTOR ...
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 ...

MIGRAINE HEADACHE ...
HEAD NECK PAIN ...
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.
"Rebound Headache" is caused directly by taking painkillers.
REBOUND HEADACHE ...
Obviously rare diseases such as brain tumours and infectious illnesses such as Meningitis should also be considered. High temperature and a very stiff neck? Get straight to the emergency rooms.
STOPPRESS: South Africa's favourite tenor had just died of meningitis. He was due to sing at the World Cup inauguration.

LOWER BACK AND LEG PAIN
CHIROPRACTOR HydePark Morningside Parkmore Sandton Wendywood
There's an epidemic of low back pain in the Western world today. There are a number of proposed causes ranging from the Couch Potato syndrome, obesity to increasing trauma.
LOW BACK PAIN ...
Clinically there is a clear distinction between low back pain, and radiation to the leg(s). As the pain in your back fades, and simultaneously the pain in your leg increases... you need to be increasingly concerned.

POSTERO LATERAL DISK HERNIATION ... slipped disk
Do you sometimes find yourself looking like the leaning tower of Pisa? An "antalgia" is a very serious sign, and should be taken seriously. It is often the prelude to a very painful leg pain sciatica.
LEG PAIN SCIATICA ...
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. I do, because we all sit too much. Just like we brush our teeth twice a day, one or two minutes of back exercises morning and evening would do wonders for our backs. You can get a very basic set of exercises by signing up for Chiropractic Tips. They are free.

LUMBAR FACET ARTHROPATHY
Lumbar facet pain is characterised by pain when bending backwards, and/or to the side. In the younger person is rarely causes leg pain. However, chronically subluxated facet joints new research indicates are prone to premature wear-and-tear "arthrosis". And that's what causes leg pain in the older patient... can granny not stand up straight?

SPONDYLOLYSTHESIS Casefile
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...

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 5x more likely to get Prostate cancer. So foods like Broccoli should be daily on your family's daily menu. Read more from Broccoli Facts ...
BROCCOLI FACTS ...
So too, men who eat a tomato-a-day are 50% less likely to get prostate cancer. This is due to "lycopene, the substance that makes tomatoes red", and probably other unknown substances.
