Spinal Manipulation therapy addresses the cause of headaches by aligning the vertebrae of the spine which takes the pressure off the nerves that cause the reffered pain either to the front,back or side of the head.<br /><br />The cause of the misaligned vertebrae is from poor posture either at the desk or lifting or from injury. The symptoms from person to person vary according to age,sex,chronicity of problem, severity of nerve compression, hereditary factors and any other underlying diseases.<br /><br />The usual treatment plan for someone with headaches is to check spinal alignment with the hands externally, as well as using a thorough exam to evaluate muscle symmetry and neurology. The patient may also be reffered for xray of the neck is after 5-6 visits the patient is not getting better.<br /><br />There may be instances where the headaches may be caused by increases in blood pressure, liver referral or increases in intracranial pressure from injury but this would need careful evaluation from the doctor. Otherwise a qualified and certified Chiropractor which has 5years of university training is more than qualifed to take on patients with headaches or migraines and manage them successfully.<br /><br />The Chiropractic appoach by Sydney Chiropractor George Prorellis at Sydney Wide Chiropractic is to use a combination of massage therapy as well as some physiotherapy modalities so as to prepare the muscles and relax the patient. Finally the patient has the option for either mobilisation which is a form or stretching or use manipulation which is passively moving the vertebrae into the midline so that proper aligment is achieved.<br /><br />With regards to the symptoms of headaches this can range from muscles tension, pins and needles,blurred vision,pulsating in the head to migraine type symptoms which as wanting to be in a dark place away from light and sound, lasting from minutues to hours to days.<br /><br />Seek the advice of the Sydney Chiropractor at either Marrickville or Double Bay Clinics today and see why this chiropractor won the Who-Is-Who for Chiropractic excellence in 2009 for outstanding contributions to humanity through chiropractic.<br /><br />Dont delay today what can be solved with a few adjustments not only to alignment of the vertebrae but also dietary and exercise and ergonmic advice which will help hasten your recovery process, see you soon!!Sydney Allied Health Clinic Marrickville Sydneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11889494249416848271noreply@blogger.com0
