09.01.2022 How does my body get to this state? I often get asked. Quite simply it’s an accumulation of physical, chemical and emotional stress over time. We always think of the physical things we do such as sitting at a desk all day, looking down at our phones, manual labour etc, but so easily forgotten is our emotional stress/state. That may look like old emotional trauma, whether you love or loathe your job, pressure from your family or yourself, the list is endless. It all comes ...back to the physical, chemical and emotional stress. Chiropractic helps to increase resilience within your system so you adapt better to those stresses and to help unwind previous stress in your system. And increasing your awareness around the P/C/E stresses in your life where possible to create CHANGE.

06.01.2022 Have you ever noticed a hump at the base of your neck? It's one of the common changes I see as a result of curve changes to the neck and upper mid back area. It is called a dowager's hump or kyphosis. The body lays down more fatty tissue at the base of the neck due to the structural changes occurring in the spine and it creates an increased load at the base of the neck and across the shoulders. You may feel this as: Increased heaviness, tightness or tension across your sh...oulders You may experience headaches or migraines Mid back pain or discomfort between the shoulder blades Or you may not notice any symptoms at all, but just see more the aesthetic change of the hump. From another aesthetic and postural perspective, we tend to note that the head comes forward over the shoulders from a side view and there is often a compensation of rounding through the shoulders to adapt to the changes in the neck. This often happens BEFORE the hump develops. The hump is a result of an altered and increased load through the spine as a result of these postural and structural changes. The downside of the head moving forward over the body? Gravity is a constant force and once it goes forward, it's gradually keeps going that way unless you do something about it. So the more the head projects forward, the more stress lands through that area and the larger the hump gets, it can become a cascading cycle. I see a lot of people whom come in for other reasons, but we either pick up a Dowager's hump in their examination or they mention it when we go through their health history, often commenting that they hate that "bumpy bit on the back of their neck". It used to occur primarily in the elderly. What I am finding in recent years is that it is now becoming more common in general. It's also starting to happen in younger people, now as early as people in their 20's! There also seems to be a greater tendency for occurrence in women.
