18.01.2022 When to Use Hot and Cold Therapy Heat and cold are the two most common types of noninvasive and nonaddictive pain-relief therapies for muscle and joint pain. Which one you use depends on whether the pain is new or recurring. In general, a new injury will cause inflammation and possibly swelling. Ice will decrease the blood flow to the injury, thereby decreasing inflammation and swelling. Pain that recurs can be treated with heat, which will bring blood to the area and promote... healing. Heat therapy What does heat therapy do? Heat opens up blood vessels, which increases blood flow and supplies oxygen and nutrients to reduce pain in joints and relax sore muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The warmth also decreases muscle spasms and can increase range of motion. Applying superficial heat to your body can improve the flexibility of tendons and ligaments, reduce muscle spasms, and alleviate pain. Cold therapy What does cold therapy do? Cold slows down blood flow to an injury, thereby reducing pain and swelling. Cold therapy slows circulation, reducing inflammation, muscle spasm, and pain. It should be used if the area is swollen or bruised. See more

10.01.2022 80% of migraines come from the neck says new study It turns out migraines are literally a pain in the neck. A migraine headache therapy offering sufferers relief focuses on the neck rather than the head. The Watson headache approach Pioneered by Murdoch University researchers Dean Watson and Peter Drummond focuses on a rarely diagnosed fault in the top of the spine.... The study found that 80 per cent of headaches were due to a common neck complaint, which was now the number one suspect in causing a sensitive brain stem. This (The Watson headache approach) is a sophisticated method of looking at the top three joints in the upper neck, Mr Watson said. When we move the joints in the way theyre designed to move they reproduce a migraine. This sounds terrible but its actually a really good thing to do. It demonstrates a connection between the upper neck and the migraine process and what we do then is sustain the technique and create the pain of a headache and what happens is the head pain gets less and less as we sustain it. The research at Murdoch University has shown that this de-sensitises the brain stem which is the underlying dis-order.

10.01.2022 Text Neck Text neck is the term used to describe the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at your cell phone, tablet, or other wireless devices too frequently and for too long. Of course, this posture of bending your neck to look down does not occur only when texting. For years, we've all looked down to read. The problem with texting is that it adds one more activity that causes us to look downand people tend to do it for much longer periods. It is especially co...ncerning because young, growing children could possibly cause permanent damage to their cervical spines that could lead to lifelong neck pain. Text neck most commonly causes neck pain and soreness. In addition, looking down at your cell phone too much each day can lead to: Upper back pain ranging from a chronic, nagging pain to sharp, severe upper back muscle spasms. Shoulder pain and tightness, possibly resulting in painful shoulder muscle spasm. If a cervical nerve becomes pinched, pain and possibly neurological symptoms can radiate down your arm and into your hand. How is text neck treated? Hold your cell phone at eye level as much as possible. The same holds true for all screenslaptops and tablets should also be positioned so the screen is at eye level and you don't have to bend your head forward or look down to view it. See Ten Tips for Improving Posture and Ergonomics Take frequent breaks from your phone and laptop throughout the day. For example, set a timer or alarm that reminds you to get up and walk around every 20 to 30 minutes. If you work in an office, make sure your screen is set up so that when you look at it you are looking forward, with your head positioned squarely in line with your shoulders and spine. See more
