17.01.2022 PECTORALIS MINOR Do you have rounded shoulders and pain near your shoulder blades? There is a high chance your pectoralis minor muscle is tight. It is a major cause of decreased mobility in the shoulder, that can lead to dysfunction in the shoulder joint. To increase your shoulder mobility and decrease chances of dysfunction- it is important to stretch the pectoralis minor.... 1. Place forarm on wall or door frame. 2. Elbows at shoulder height. 3. Lean slightly forward past the door frame. 4. Hold for 30 secs, release then repeat 3x. 5. Deep breathes into the stomach during the stretch. STOP immediately if pain or discomfort is felt. #chiropractor #chiropractic #sportschiropractor #melbournechiropractor #sports #stretch #chest #shoulder #pectoralis #joint #muscle #myotherapy #massage #softtissue #therapy #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #adjustment #treatment #mobilisation

16.01.2022 Neck pain by Dr Adile Did you know? neck pain is one of the most prevalent and costly musculoskeletal conditions in Western society (1). A type of neck pain which is a concern health problem is non- specific pain (2). You are probably asking what is non-specific pain? Well, non-specific is when the pathology is relatively unknown or clear. It usually goes away on its own within a few days or weeks. There are many factors which contribute to the development of non-specific n...eck pain. Examples can include: - Physical strain at work (such as working on something above you or sitting at a desk without moving enough (3) - Emotional stress like worries and anxiety about family or work, often plays an important role (3) You are probably asking what can be done about neck pain? You can do stretching and strength exercises Upper trapezius stretch- is great one and can be done easily everywhere - Aim to stretch 3-5 times Isometric neck exercise is a great strength exercise (bottom left and right) - Try to repeat 10 times and hold for 15-30 seconds. - Don't forget to have a look at last week post about chin tucks as they are alos a great Isometric neck exercise Another helpful tip is, you can make changes at your workplace. By correcting the height of your office chair, the position of the back of the chair, the distance between the chair and the keyboard, and the height of your computer monitor. Is one step forward to help with posture. Don’t forget regularly get up and move around. Dr Adile References: 1. Hudson JS, Ryan CG.

10.01.2022 Real time MRI of the Cervical Spine A 2018 Systematic Review looked into what workplace-based interventions for neck pain in office workers was best. Robin Ke...rr reviewed this and said: This study found that workplace-based simple neck and shoulder strengthening exercises the be an effective and cheap method of managing symptomatic office workers. Evidence was NOT in favour of stretching, more work breaks, arm chair supports, CBT or group education.

09.01.2022 Neck Rehab by Dr Adile As technology updates every year our posture doesn’t, the posture problem is more important than you think. With the increased use of hand held devices, everyone is prone to poor sitting postures like forward head posture (1). Prolong desk work and computers are just a few things that can affect your posture. Muscular and skeletal structures can change into an incorrect shape due to a reduction in physical activity and inappropriate posture habits in d...aily living (2). When looking at the neck, there is a common theme and this why the neck is a great example. There muscles at the back of the head and neck called extensor muscles and over time these muscles become overactive, in other words over working. Where the muscles of the front of the neck called the deep flexor muscles become less active and weak. What can happen over time these muscles can cause neck pain and headaches. Another amazing thing about the neck you didn't know was, bad posture of the neck can also alter the way we breath (1). An effective way to help those front neck muscles (deep flexor muscles) is to perform the ‘chin tuck’ excerise. Sit upright and look straight ahead with the ears directly over the shoulders. Place a finger on the chin. Without moving the finger, pull the chin and head straight back until a good stretch is felt at the base of the head and top of the neck. (There should now be some separation between the chin and finger.) Hold for 5 seconds if possible. Bring the chin forward again to the finger. Repeat for a total of 10 times, or as tolerated.

08.01.2022 The piriformis is a relatively short muscle, located in the gluteal region. It runs from the back of the pelvis into the top of the femur. The piriformis is positioned adjacent to the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve runs from the base of the spine, along your gluteal muscles to the back of your legs. When the piriformis is irritated, the sciatic nerve is also commonly affected, causing sciatica like symptoms. Sciatica presents as pain, tightness, weakness, numbness or tingl...ing sensation from the lower back, into your butt, hamstring, calves and feet. If the sciatic nerve is not involved, active trigger points in the piriformis will present - aching, sore, tight in your buttock. - pain, tingling, tightness, weakness or numbness that may radiate into the lower back and back side of the leg, to the hamstrings and calves. - buttock pain with prolonged sitting. -pain in the buttock while running. Below is a stretch to prevent trigger points or assist in relieving your pririformis symptoms. #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportschiropractor #sports #rehab #stretch #sciatica #piriformis #Essendon #health #fitness #adjustment #treatment #mobility #mobilisation #softtissue #therapy #massage

07.01.2022 Jaw Pain by Dr Adile Have you heard of TMJ? Well TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. There is one on each side of your skulls and they attach your jaw to the bottom of your skull.... Did you know? The TMJ is the most used joint in the body. this awesome joint lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn. Do you get jaw pain? Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). But you may hear it wrongly called TMJ, after the joint. What causes TMD? Musculoskeletal dysfunction is the most common cause of TMD, these include behaviours such as: (1) - Grinding or clenching of your teeth which known as bruxism - Abnormal posture - Stress and anxiety These factors can contribute to the muscles around your jaw to be in pain or spasm. Chronic pain conditions like Fibromyalgia are also frequently associated with TMD (2). The disc in the TMJ can also cause TMD. This can be due to trauma (a fall, car accident), capsular inflammation ( for example rheumatoid arthritis) or hypermobility. Symptoms of TMD - The big one is jaw problems this includies clicking or grinding of teeth - Headaches (can be around temples and sinus) - Ear problems - Pain around your neck and face Just a little take home message or something to remember. If you hear a clicking or popping sound this isn’t TMD, you need to have other symptoms like PAIN along with it. What can we do to help? - We can observe and check for many things such as your head and shoulder relationship. - Look at your posture, as posture can play a big role with TMD. When looking at posture and TMD there high correlation between forward head posture and TMD. (3). - We can observe the movement in the TMJ - We can look observe the muscles around the jaw and neck, to see if there are muscle trigger points - Check the spine - Cranial Release - Mobilisation of the jaw - Prescribe exercises References Reiter S, Goldsmith C, Emodi-Perlman A, Friedman-Rubin P, Winocur E.

06.01.2022 DO YOU SUFFER MID BACK PAIN? with Dr Adile Mid back pain occurs below the neck and above the bottom of the rib cage, in an area called the thoracic spine. Mid back pain is not as common, compared to neck pain or lower back pain. There are many causes of Mid back pain but the most common is due to postural compensations that cause increased rigidity in that area. NO MOVEMENT IS BAD, LACK OF MOVEMENT INCREASES ARTHRITIC CHANGE! The mid back (thoracic spine) works with the ribs... to keep our back stable and help to protect our vital organs such as heart and lung. What causes mid back pain? - Poor posture - Overuse- particularly if you sit at a desk for hours, or do some type of repetitive motion - Muscle strains or injuries - There are large muscles in your middle back which can be prone to developing painful strains or tightness - Pressure on the spinal nerve - Problems with the joint within our thoracic spine What are the symptoms? - A dull ache or pain - Muscle tightness or stiffness - Discomfort - Complaining about pain between the shoulder blades (1) You might have more serious symptoms, too. These symptoms that need to be treated right away include: - Weakness in your arms or legs - Chest pain - Tingling or numbness in your arms, legs, or chest - Losing control of your bladder or bowels What can we do to help? - Do a spinal assessment and inspect the thoracic spine, look for symmetry (1) - Palpate- to check for restricted joints, pain and range of motion - We can look observe the muscles, to see if there are muscle trigger points - Spinal adjustment- some studies have shown observation of a rapid decrease in pain intensity and in tenderness after a thoracic adjustment (2) - Check the rest of the spine - Prescribe exercises or rehab to help with posture.

02.01.2022 Do you have hip or groin pain when lifting your leg up? Yes, then you might have hip flexor strain. Your hip flexors are comprised of iliopsoas (psoas and iliacus), rectus femoris and sartorius. These group of muscles are responsible for moving the knee to the chest, in other words bending the hip. The most common hip flexor muscle to strain is the iliopsoas. This muscle travels from the lower back to the top of the thigh bone. When you strain your hip flexor, pain will gener...Continue reading
