Poor posture amongst many other ailments is a major cause of back pain and fatigue!

Dr Adam Schober a chiropractor from North Sydney Spine and Health uses a form of chiropractic care called Advanced Biostructural Correction™ (ABC) which focuses on the correction of poor posture.

Many common effects of poor posture include back pain and neck pain, headaches, fatigue, poor sleep, stress and can cause people to become moody and irritable.

However, beneath the surface, poor posture accelerates spinal degeneration and can even cause increased blood pressure, poor lung function and affect balance.

Posture Correction at Spine and Health

The chiropractors at the Spine and Health centres recognise that poor posture can contribute to spinal pain. Very often poor posture is a result of an existing muscle imbalance, pain or bad habits and conversely, having poor posture can also contribute to you developing pain and a muscle imbalance.

Many people have office jobs which entail many hours of sitting on an office chair. The Chiropractors of Spine and Health are trained in this area of treatment at the North Sydney, Crows Nest, Mosman and Gladesville Spine and Health centres

Sitting on an office chair for long periods can contribute to spinal problems. Sitting doubles the pressure on the discs in your low back. The static or fixed posture will also affect the muscles in the lower back, neck, arms and legs. The muscles prefer to be used in dynamic rather than static activities. The reason for this being that muscles depend on movement to help the blood flow in the musculature. This is important, as it helps to flush away build-up of lactic acid and other by-products in the muscles. The postural muscles are the ones that are most likely to suffer.

Our Chiropractors offer Posture Treatment in North Sydney, Crows Nest, Mosman and Gladesville  and are happy to visit local work places to analyse issues and provide recommendations, treatment and support.

Prolonged sitting can cause muscles that support the spine to weaken and over time this weakness becomes significant. As our muscles fatigue it often results in the upper back being more slumped. A slumped posture causes increased musculo-skeletal stress, which in turn may lead to conditions such as; headaches, neck pain, jaw pain, shoulder pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or hands and pain in the shoulder blades.

Over time a poor sitting posture and incorrect work ergonomics can damage spinal structures and become the cause of recurrent episodes of pain. Spine and Health place great emphasis on giving both postural and ergonomic advice as part of the chiropractic treatment.

Our chiropractors have seen so many cases when a client is treated for their pain but the underlying problem (the poor posture) is not fixed the client will invariably have the same symptoms return time and time again.

Once symptoms have arisen, the problem is usually fully established and a chiropractic treatment program including postural advice, manual treatment and rehabilitation exercises help to re-establish a flexible, strong and pain-free posture.

Headache and Migraine Treatment

Who has never suffered from a headache? I don’t think that there is one person alive who has never suffered from a headache. Some of us suffer from an occasional headache; others suffer from migraines which can be severely debilitating. The Chiropractors of Spine and Health can help with  headache & migraine treatment in North Sydney and Crows Nest.

 

One of the most common forms of illness in Australia is actually headaches and/or migraines with 1 in 6 people taking headache tablets every day. There are so many different types of headaches, with so many different types of treatments. Recent research is showing more and more that problems with the musco-skeletal system, either directly or referred, are responsible for headaches and migraines, and the  Chiropractors in North Sydney and  Crows Nest  Spine and Health Centres understand the link between posture and health and have had great success in treating people with headaches and migraines.

The symptoms of migraines vary from person to person, apart from pain in the head, symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sounds and/or light as well as sensitivity to certain smells, and vision can also be affected. Headaches or migraines can last from a few hours up to a few days and in severe cases even a few weeks.

As headaches and migraines vary greatly from person to person so does the subsequent treatment, and generally there are only four forms of treatment recommended by medico’s, they being; Avoid the trigger factors if you have previously identified them: pain medication; preventative medication and then non-drug treatment such as yoga, hypnotherapy etc

People get to recognize their own ‘triggers’ that can cause the onset of a migraine and try to avoid them as much as possible. Common triggers can include food, such as chocolate, cheese and alcohol, hormonal changes such as the menstrual cycle and emotional stress or fatigue.

Headaches, particularly migraines are complex conditions and because the exact causes cannot be identified medically, it makes treatment and prevention difficult; however, headache & migraine treatment in North Sydney and Crows Nest Spine and Health Centres is certainly alleviating symptoms for a lot of clients.

A major reason the Spine and Health team are so successful in treating headaches and migraines at their North Sydney and Crows Nest Spine and Health Centres is their focus on reversing forward head posture. A lot of his clients who suffer bad headaches and migraines, get great relief after their posture has been restored to normal.
