Tendonitis

Tendonitis
Tendonitis

Tendons are fibrous, rope-like extensions of a muscle that attach muscle to bone. Tendonitis occurs when a tendon is irritated and microtears develop, which leads to inflammation and pain. The irritation that triggers tendonitis may be caused by an injury, age, or a career or activity that involves repetitive actions. Chiropractic treatment can help reduce pain and inflammation by restoring mobility, improving posture, and re-educating activities.

Bell’s Palsy

Bell's Palsy
Bell’s Palsy

Bell’s Palsy is characterised by the sudden or gradual onset of severe weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, causing drooping of one side of the face. This is thought to be be linked to the swelling and inflammation of the cranial facial (VII) nerve which supplies the muscles of the face. The facial nerve may become inflamed because of trauma, infection or immune related illnesses. The majority of people that develop Bell’s palsy will recover without treatment. However, chiropractic in conjunction with other treatment methods may be beneficial in managing the symptoms of Bell’s palsy.

5 Tips for Great Spinal Health

Spinal
Spinal

The spine is one of the most important parts of the human skeleton. It protects the spinal cord, carries the majority of the body’s weight, and allows the body to be upright. Although the spine could simply be defined as a column of bones, it is a complicated structure that is imperative to the flexibility, function, and support of the body. Therefore, keeping the spine in optimal health can have a direct impact on longevity and quality of life. Here are a few simple things you can do to promote better spinal health:

  1. Maintain good posture. Good posture encourages better positioning of the spine and supporting muscles. You want to try and use good posture when sitting, standing, walking, and even sleeping.
  2. Use good technique when carrying and lifting. These activities put a great deal of strain on the spine, even if the weight is light. Tightening your core, using your legs to lift, and not twisting can help protect the spine when carrying and lifting.
  3. Follow a well-balanced diet. Well-being starts from the inside. A diet of balanced vegetables, proteins, and minerals encourages the availability of nutrients necessary for the body’s repair and maintenance.
  4. Keep moving.  Regular exercise and stretching encourage flexibility, circulation, and weight regulation.
  5. Have a good night’s sleep. Opting for a supportive mattress and pillow makes all the difference in the quality of sleep. Some sleep positions, like sleeping on the stomach, put undue stress on the joints in the spine.

Gut Health and It’s Connection to the Spine

digestive
digestive

What do digestive issues like constipation, stomach cramps, and a poor appetite have to do with your back and spine? The spinal cord branches out into spinal nerves at each level of the spine. Some of these nerves go on to supply and control the function of the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines. Therefore, dysfunction of the structures around these nerves, such as the facet joints and discs, may negatively affect the function of the digestive system.
