Exploring the Research: How Often Should You Visit the Chiropractor? Chronic Pain- What frequency of visits is recommended? Chronic pain and chiropractic care work great together! Pain can be prolonged, long-lasting, varying in intensity, and really interrupt the everyday joys of living The research looked into the frequency of chiropractic sessions over a 3 month period Some research found the average monthly visit was 2.3 visits per month, which is really what we see in our clinic. Most people after their initial care come in regularly for fortnightly visits to manage their chronic condition with the occasional top-up session when we do noneveryday activities like an intense gardening session etc Chronic Neck pain and Chronic Low Back Pain have a combined prevalence of between 10 to 20% of the adult population Pain in these areas is associated with substantial co-mobility - with chronic spinal pain being so long-lasting with average pain from years to decades.

Uncovering the Truth: Is Your Chronic Pain Due to Central Sensitisation? Do you have - Unremitting and constant pain - Widespread pain - Is the pain unresponsive to anti-inflammatories like Nurofen - Night pain and or disturbed sleep Research shows that patients presenting with low back pain and whiplash disorders can develop into chronic widespread pain nearly 1 in 4 times. Risk factors can be -Age -Longer duration of pain -Anxiety and depression Chiropractic therapy, can it help? Manual therapists aim to decrease muscle tension and increase joint range of motion to relieve the musculoskeletal pain As chronic low back pain is associated with altered spinal and cortical pain processing, Some studies are finding that chiropractic adjustments to the spine have temporal activation of antinociceptive pathways. It can also reduce the widespread hypoalgesic effects. Exercise has been shown to trigger peripheral and central processes like the pituitary and hypothalamus to enable analgesic effects.

Unravelling the Mystery of Dry Needling: Answers to Common Questions Now that we have discussed what dry needling is and what muscles it is used for in our previous posts, we can talk about some common questions my patients have. What is the difference between acupuncture and dry needling? Basically, both use the same needles, however, the chiropractors use the needles to use on muscles and their trigger points. Acupuncture uses needles to help with ailments. Is dry needling painful? Most patients actually don't feel the insertion of the needles, unless it is a really acute painful trigger point. Some may feel a twitch which is like an electrical shock. You may feel sometimes in the arm numbers after the infraspinatus muscle has been worked on and re-activated, which is a good thing! Will I be sore after dry needling? Just like you may get sore after a gym workout, same with dry needling. When we activate the muscles sometimes post-treatment soreness can last for a couple of hours. Can I go to the gym after dry needling? Absolutely, work the muscles, and don't sit down for long periods. Keeping the body moving is essential Is Dry Needling safe? Based on current research, Dry needling, and Acupuncture are safe. The needles are safe and are single use and are disposed of after use. The likelihood of bleeding or bruising is extremely low.

The Gut-Brain Connection: Can Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Affect Your Digestive Health? Nearly 15% of the population has a range of gut reactions, from irritable bowel syndrome to chronic constipation. Did you know that the majority of these reactions often reflect one's emotional state? Let's talk about how Stress, anxiety, and depression can lead to gut problems 1st- the biomechanical reactions that happen when we are not at ease. - When the brain perceives a threat, the hypothalamus is triggered (this coordinates all our vital functions and releases the stress hormone CRF) - When CRF levels are high enough, it switches organs like the gut into stress mode. - Studies show spiking CRF levels give symptoms of severe belly pain - This can lead to the gut contracting more and when the contents are removed, it can result in diarrhea. - Or then the gut can reverse its emptying and empty upwards and the gut wall becomes leakier and the colon secretes more water and mucus. 2nd- How the Brain and the gut's nervous system communicate. -The brain sends two sets of nerve signals, those that stimulate and those that inhibit gut stimulation. 3rd- The limbic system Emotion-specific circuits within the limbic system get activated when you're angry, scared, feel hurt, and when you feel hungry, and/or thirsty. The emotion-related brain circuits send signals to the stomach when we face situations to rid it of some contents that might drain the energy required for action. (hence why we need to go to the bathroom when we get nervous about a meeting etc) Mind-Gut Connection, The: How the Hidden Conversation Within Our Bodies Impacts Our Mood, Our Choices, and Our Overall Health Mayer, Emeran.2018.

Cupping Therapy: Understanding the Physiological Response and Its Potential Benefits There are three things that usually occur and we will discuss them briefly : 1. Negative Pressure - The pressure created by the cups creates a pulling action, which allows the separation of fused or adhered tissue.  Any tissue that is not functioning, inhibits optimal functioning - Tissue that is not functioning is usually due to dehydration, chronic inflammation, or doing repetitive motion (from work, sport, etc.) - Cupping can help by drawing out any interstitial debris stuck in the connective tissue. 2. Vasodilation - This is when the widening of the blood vessels occurs and occurs when the muscle tissue is relaxed. - cupping helps release vaso-constricting chemicals(like histamines) and then the lumen of the blood vessels starts to dilate. 3. Enhanced Fluid Exchange - Capillaries have various fluid exchange processes, like diffusion and filtration, and these processes allow nutrient-rich fluids to feed cells whilst removing waste materials. - Cupping pulls blood into dehydrated, malnourished tissues.
