Chiropractic
& Pain Relief
"It
is important to understand that normal
spine motion is a prerequisite for a pain-free
existence - a fact that seems lost on all
but a few in the medical community. Chiropractic
aids in reducing pain through spinal manipulation.
Neurologically speaking, there is no difference
between pain in the lower back, neck or
elsewhere, except in the location where
pain nerves are irritated. Therefore pain
should be easy to treat."

According to an
article by W. Kirkaldy-Willis and J. Cassidy
appearing in the Canadian Family Physician:
"After a series of chiropractic adjustments,
disabled patients returned to full function.
A population of 171 patients had been totally
disabled by chronic low-back pain for an
average of seven to eight years. Following
a two to three week regime of daily chiropractic
adjustments, 87 per cent returned to full
function with no restriction in work duties
or other activities. Approximately one
year later, all patients where re-examined
the success was maintained..."

"Pain is not normal. Given appropriate help, everyone has the potential to become pain free."

How was this accomplished?
When a Chiropractor performs manual manipulations
of fixed joints within the vertebral column
(adjustments) four things occur:
- normal
spine motion is restored
- tight
muscles relax
- co-ordination
improves
- pain
is inhibited
These effects can have a profound effect
on the body. In fact it is because of these
effects that so many people have had what
are referred to as "miracle cures" for
so many supposedly hopeless conditions.
Excerpt from the article "The Pain Truth" written by Dr. Chambul, from Health Naturally, 1994, available from our office.
Chiropractic Relief for Chronic Migraines
"... we are beginning to see reports of successful management of a wide variety of headaches by manipulation. E. Milne notes a 98 per cent success rate with 150 patients in immediately terminating attacks of migraine by traction and cervical manipulation. Unfortunately, this new approach has not made and significant impact in general medical practice."
Back pain, neck pain, headaches and sports injuries
are the most common ailments that people seek help from at our clinic.
