Headaches Caused by Neck Pain

Neck Pain Headaches

Did you know that the neck is very susceptible to stresses and strains from any source and is strained more than any other structure in the body. Why is this? Well keep in mind that the neck area of the spine is composed of seven small vertebrae and supported by muscles and ligaments which have to hold and balance a head, which on average, weighs about five Kilograms!

At My Local Chiro Clinic we can alleviate and relieve these symptoms in just one session. Contact us now or Phone us to make an appointment

Are you unusually susceptible to neck pain – No!  Not at all

On occasion every person including children will experience minor neck aches, pain, and stiffness. This condition is usually due to overuse or holding the head in an awkward position, general for an extended time. The good news is that situations such as these clear up on their own after a day of rest or a good night’s sleep. However, neck pain and stiffness that persists for more than a 24 hour period should have professional evaluation. Aside from pain and stiffness, several other complaints can be generated by problems in the cervical spine (aka: neck). These symptoms can include dizziness, headache, pain in the ears, face, and scalp; pain in the shoulder-arm-hand, and numbness/tingling in one or more of the fingers; all of which are some of the more common complaints which we have seen at our practice.

Do I Need A Sports Chiropractor

“I must accept I have an injury before I can have it treated”

Does this sound like you, “it’s just a twinge”, nothing that a few days rest wont fix”. How many excuses do we use before the problem gets worse – far too many. If this is you contact us now, to at least have a discussion

In this current age with even though we may not have been playing sport, just playing with the kids, or jogging lightly we can pick up a sports injury and require the services of a Sports Chiropractor. Yes, you don’t have to be playing at the elite level to pick up an injury. In fact, an elite athlete is far less prone to get a sports injury as they have been training and their muscles are attuned to what they are doing or about to do. Does this sound familiar, indeed, a little run around on a sunny afternoon kicking a ball about with a couple of mates or the family, and the next day, Oh that feels bad.

What do you do, simply try and ignore the injury? If you do that there is every chance that you will not heal correctly. This is the time to set an appointment with a Sports Chiropractor. Please call us now, we are centrally located in the Northern Beaches which is convenient to many suburbs, Brookvale, Manly, Dee Why, Curl Curl, Beacon Hill, Narraweena and Cromer to name several easily accessible to our practice at Brookvale.

Treatment For Back Pain

Why Put Up With Back Pain

Back Pain ReliefIf you’ve ever pulled a muscle in your back, or put a rib out of place, you’ll know how debilitating and painful it can be. But did you know that, if left untreated, a back injury can cause permanent damage? Yes permanent damage. Contact us now to make an appointment

At My Local Chiropractor we specialise in Treatment for Back Pain. we have studied and continue to study the latest techniques in back pain relief. We will give you the best advice and treatment for your back injuries. We offer various treatments, including adjusting your back by applying appropriate pressure, using acupuncture or, as well as applying heat or cold to the injured area.

Often, when someone pulls a muscle or injures their back in some way, they will go to the local chemist or the doctor and pick up some medication. Now, there may not be anything wrong with taking medication to help numb the pain, but medication on its own will not fix the problem. That’s why, on the back of the bottle, there will be a caution that will state something like, “Take no more than 4 or 6 pills in a 24-hour period”; so you cannot take medication indefinitely to relieve the pain. That is all it is doing relieving the pain not addressing the underlying problem. The best thing to do when you have injured your back is to make an appointment with us – your Local Chiropractor conveniently located in Brookvale, on the Northern Beaches.

If you have back pain think about what damage that injury will be doing if you don’t address the problem, and even worse just treat it with medication. The irritated area will cause muscles surrounding it to tighten and to work harder to make up for the injury. Over time, this can cause damage to a larger part of your back, putting you in more pain than you are now.

To make an appointment call us now. After one appointment we guarantee that you will have pain relief or your visit is free. At your first appointment, we will take the time to discuss your situation personally and design the best healing plan for you. It’s worth it to make this effort; you will save yourself pain and will give your back the care it needs.
