A frequent and overlooked cause of headaches is the malfunction of spinal bones in the neck and upper back. When bones of the spine lose their normal position or motion, sensitive nerves and blood vessels to the head can be affected. When spinal nerves and related tissues are stretched or irritated, they can produce throbbing headaches. Aspirin and medications may cover up these warning signs, but do not correct the underlying structural cause.
 Chiropractic treatment can often help.

If a thorough examination by our experienced Melbourne Chiropractor reveals reduced range of motion, loss of normal spinal curves, or mechanical restrictions, chiropractic care should be considered. After a complete examination at our Bulleen clinic, you’ll receive a care program designed for your unique spinal problem.

So what can chiropractic do to help?

• By performing gentle but specific adjustments to the neck and upper back Peak Potential Bulleen will restore the normal alignment and function of the vertebrae in the neck, which removes the tension that causes headache and migraine symptoms. As well as removing the tension, the inflammation around the joints, muscles and blood vessels is decreased and the pain fibres begin to be deactivated.
• Our skilled Chiropractor also offer advice on posture, ergonomics (work postures), exercises and relaxation techniques. This advice should help to relieve the recurring joint irritation and tension in the muscles of the neck and upper back.
• Use of trigger point therapy, massage and other supporting types of treatments can also be offered or suggested by our Peak Potential Bulleen Chiropractor to create a holistic approach to the problem. We have our own in house myotherapist who works in close contact with our Chiropractor.
• Chiropractors may also provide nutritional advice, recommending a change in diet and perhaps the addition of B complex vitamins.

Headaches do not have to be something that you live with on a day to day basis, so consult your Chiropractor at Peak Potential Bulleen on 03 98524555, via email at admin@peakpotentialbulleen.com.au or visit our clinic at 4/79 Manningham Road in Bulleen today to discuss how you can prevent headaches from occurring.

if so, you must read this article now. Are you living with [...]]]> Jaw Pain, TMJ Pain and Treatment Options. Do you have any of the following conditions?

• Pain and muscle spasms in the TMJ

• Clicking or popping jaw joints

• Grinding teeth at night

• Locking up of the jaw

• Headaches …

if so, you must read this article now. Are you living with the daily agony of TMJ Disorder? Have you had it for so long you don’t remember what life was like before jaw problems? TMJ pain is very hard to live with. Sometimes people think you aren’t friendly because it’s so painful to smile. Or maybe you just don’t feel like going anywhere because you hurt so bad. Perhaps you even get those “lightening shocks” in your jaw when you try to chew food or clench your teeth.

I’ve helped lots of TMJ sufferers walk out of my office pain free. In my practice, we use gentle techniques to help those with jaw problems. As a result, it’s common for former TMJ disorder patients to get well and stay well. Chiropractic care can correct the problem of TMJ pain by working on the misalignments in the jaw, as well as problems between the spine and nervous system. Multiple studies have proven that chiropractic care is effective in treating TMJ disorders.

One medical study surveyed 192 patients with TMJ Disorder. They reported that over two-thirds of patients used treatments other than drugs and surgery to get better. Of all the methods used, those that used “hands on” (like chiropractic) treatments reported being the most satisfied. -(J Orofac Pain. 2003)

Another study showed that after TMJ patients went for chiropractic care, they had dramatically decreased jaw pain and were able to open their mouth more. ( JMPT 2003)

Imagine what your life would be like with out your debilitating jaw pain… The first step is to do a thorough assessment to find the cause of the problem.  

What’s included in the assessment? Here is all that you get…

• An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination of your TMJ, neck and spine.

• A full set of x-rays (if clinically indicated through medicare) to determine if a neck problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms…

• A full computerised gait scan analysis and a digital posture assessment, both with printed reports and results explained to you.

• A thorough analysis of all your exam and x-ray findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

The appointment will not take long at all. You won’t be sitting in a waiting room all day either. Why not try the natural method of chiropractic first? Call today 9852 4555.

“Will This Really Work For Me?”

A recent scientific study showed chiropractic adjustments outperformed massage treatments in reducing pain. The study concluded that patients with chronic neck pain showed

 “clinically important improvements from a course of spinal manipulation… The current evidence does not support a similar level of benefit from massage.”– J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2007

In another study comparing acupuncture, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and spinal manipulation found…

“After a median intervention period of 30 days, spinal manipulation was the only intervention that achieved statistically significant improvements.” – J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1999

Pain Pills Are Not The Answer

Do you remember the Vioxx scandal? It was a medication designed to relieve arthritis pain…but like all drugs, it had side effects. After years of use worldwide, the makers withdrew it from the market because of the overwhelming evidence it caused heart attacks and strokes.

There’s a time to use pain medications, BUT not before seeking a natural way to correct the CAUSE of the problem! Ask yourself … after taking all these pain medications…maybe for years…are you any better off?

Pain Is Not Just  ‘Old Age’

Have you had one doctor after another telling you this is just the natural process of the body getting older – that you should expect to have arthritis. Sure, if you don’t take care of your damaged joints now, as you get older they will be worse (which is why you shouldn’t wait any longer to see if I can help you.)

However, old age is not the cause of your arthritis. I’ll venture to say all  joints in your body are the same age, yet arthritis and joint degeneration has not affected every one of them – only your previously injured joints that never healed properly.

See your arthritis will never get any better until you address the real underlying cause of the problem. There are a number of reasons why you have arthritis and until you find the treatment that targets the core problem you simply will not get any better.

The first step is to do a thorough assessment to find out where there is damage in the body so that a proper diagnosis can be done. Then a treatment plan can be put together to help you recover in the quickest posible time frame. In some cases the diet can be a major contributing factor to arthritis due to the inflammatory response in the body.

More Pills Are Not The Solution

A common treatment for many [...]]]> Numbness, tingling, and pain is an extremely annoying problem. It may come and go…interrupts your sleep…and even makes your arm or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine.

More Pills Are Not The Solution

A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants — all of which have serious side effects.

The Likely Cause Of Your Problem

My name is Dr. Oskar Lindback, wellness expert and chiropractor at Peak Potential Bulleen. I’ve been helping people with numbness and tingling problems for more than 6 years. Often these problems are caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone. The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves. For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic’s effectiveness in helping nerve conditions.

Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments.1 – Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008

With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.”2 – JMPT 1998

Having back and sciatic pain is a miserable – even crippling – condition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep.

Do You Have Any of the Following?

• Sharp pains in the back of the leg

 • Lower Back Pain

• Herniated/bulging discs

 • Numbness or soreness in your legs

 • Shooting hip or thigh pain

• Muscle spasm, sprains & strains

You may have a condition called “Sciatica” if you’re suffering from any of these annoying conditions. Sciatica is a compression of the sciatic nerve from your lower back. Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your back or sciatica hurts and the pain just won’t go away! Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems, they may be relieved or eliminated with chiropractic adjustments.
