HEAD NECK PAIN

CHIROPRACTOR MIDRAND RANDBURG SANDTON

There are numerous important questions that need to be asked if you are suffering from migraine headache or head neck pain. Here are a few that spring to mind:

Do you have pain in the ear, in front of the ear, on the side of your face? Does your jaw joint click or pop? MIGRAINE HEADACHE ...

TMJ EAR PAIN ... Trigeminal Neuralgia.
Do you sleep on your tum? The hyaline cartilage in the spine gets its nutrition primarily at night when you are lying down. Free from the effect of gravity, the joints of the spine imbibe fresh nutrients and oxygen. Lying on your tum, with your neck twisted, places the discs under pressure, and they draw in less fluid than is needed. The result is Immobilisation Arthritis. Pain and stiffness. IMMOBILISATION ARTHRITIS ...

HYALINE CARTILAGE ...
Are you feeling sick, running a temperature? Meningitis is a killer, and it all starts with a headache and a very stiff neck. MENINGITIS ...
What injuries have you had? Falls from horses, bicycles, motor cycles? Diving into shallow water? Whiplash? CHIROPRACTIC HELP Whiplash and the Joints of Luschka ...
What medication are you taking? Do you have any gastric problems? Ever watched the "Kidney Olympics" on TV? The talk at the end by a urologist made an indelible impression on me. Most of the participants had lost their kidneys from taking over-the-counter painkillers. Anti inflammatory drugs have a place in health care but they do grossly increase gastrointestinal problems and cause many deaths. Dual Antiinflammatory drugs such as aspirin AND brufin are a definite NO-NO!!! Regular analgesics also CAUSE Rebound Headaches ...

DUAL ANTIINFLAMMATORY DRUGS ...

THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME

CHIROPRACTOR MIDRAND RANDBURG SANDTON

Do you have obscure tingling in your arm and/or hand? Is it worse when you work above your head, hanging up the washing or changing a light bulb? Non-dermatomal pain and tingling in the arm may emanate from a first rib subluxation. It usually responds well to Chiropractic. Thoracic Outlet syndrome ...

A first rib subluxation also makes you more vulnerable to conditions in the arm such as frozen shoulder, tennis arm and carpal tunnel syndrome.

FROZEN SHOULDER ...

ROTATOR CUFF SYNDROME ...

TENNIS ARM ...

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME ...

TIETZES SYNDROME

CHIROPRACTOR MIDRAND RANDBURG SANDTON

Chestpain needs to be carefully diagnosed. Commonly an emergency room finding is that the patient is not suffering from a heart attack, but from Tietzes Syndrome. Typically, if you press on the joints where the ribs meet the breastbone, they can be very tender and sore. Not a heart attack: Tietzes Syndrome.

Tietzes Syndrome ...

Heart Attack signs ...

LUMBAR SLIPPED DISC SYMPTOMS

Do you have sharp stabbing low back pain, perhaps radiating to your leg, aggravating by sitting, forward bending, and the triad of Dejeurine: Coughing, Sneezing and Bearing down? These are Slipped disc symptoms and signs.

If the pain or tingling or tightness starts in the thigh or calf, we recommend you don't wait. See your Chiropractor immediately.

Slipped Disc Symptoms ...

Meralgia paresthetica ... pain, tingling or numbness in the groin, front ot the thigh or side of the thigh. Read more ...

FROM THE CHIROPRACTIC COALFACE

Really serious lumbar disc injuries almost always follow this course:

Mr S, a 48-year old man lifted a heavy block in the garden three weeks ago, bending and twisting simultaneously. He had a severe stab of pain in the back.
He consulted his doctor the next day who prescribed antiinflammatory drugs. Within a week the pain was nearly over.
He went on a long drive, and then ambled and stood for much of the day at a theme park. Then drove home that evening.
During the night he developed very severe pain in the lower calf muscle, and when he stood he was horribly bent and twisted to the side, in this instance TOWARDS the painful leg, in what I call the "sign of Pisa".
A further ominous sign: he had almost NO back pain.
A further week of his doctor's pills brought no relief at all to the severe pain in his leg. In fact it got worse.
One week ago he consulted me, barely able to walk, in very severe pain. Leg pain.
Yesterday, after three treatments, he's standing upright, and the pain in his leg is about 20-30% less. He's lucky, we're still a long way from home-base and he's still on the verge of major surgery. But all the indications are for a good resolution of his case.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY: Pain is your friend. He's telling you there's a problem. Turning him off makes no more sense than turning off the burglar alarm, and presuming the burglars have left your home.

The pain from a mild disc injury may recede fairly quickly - but it takes a minimum of six weeks for the disc to heal. POSTERO MEDIAL DISK HERNIATION ...
