Your body is a masterpiece that is controlled and coordinated by your brain. The way your brain does this is by sending and receiving electrical impulses or messages along the nerves. These impulses must be synchronised for you to feel great and function well.
Sadly, poor posture, whiplash injuries, knocks, bumps and falls can injure the neck and can cause the spine to become misaligned. New research conducted by Dr Jeb McAviney, the clinical director of Sydney Scoliosis Clinic, has found that patients who have lost the normal curve in the neck are 18 times more likely to suffer with headaches, which can be caused by: • Pinched nerves. People often talk about a
“pinched nerve,” which does happen, but is actually quite rare. • Sprain of the joints or ligaments. • Strain of the muscles. • Disc injury. Although disc injuries are most common in the lower back, neck disc injuries are particularly nasty. Dr Wayne Wittingham, Chiropractor, PhD and researcher conducted several major studies with patients who were suffering with headaches and migraines. One study was a double-blind study with a crossover aspect. This means the patients received eight weeks of treatment and eight weeks of a sham or fake treatment. Another group received the sham or fake treatment first then eight weeks of real Chiropractic treatment. This study not only showed that Chiropractic care reduces the severity, intensity and frequency of headaches and migraines, but because of the crossover aspect, also showed that Chiropractic care actually prevented headaches and migraines occurring. Your Chiropractor has trained for more than 6,200 hours to find the cause of your neck pain or headaches and can find the cause, and tailor a treatment plan for you. m www.hendreychiropractic.com.au
