Do you suffer from sinus pain, common colds or headaches during winter?

Can you avoid sinus, headaches and colds this WINTER?      
Find out more from our massage therapists recommendations below…

A common cause of sinus pressure and pain is the common cold or allergies, causing what is known as sinusitis. Headaches are often present when a patient is experiencing sinusitis or when having a cold.

Remedial massage therapy treatment at ChiroCure Clinic in St Kilda East, aims to relieve stress on the nervous system and body structure.

in order to help the body work more efficiently and help ensure that the skull bones move freely. This will allow the body fluids to drain without interference, and in turn reduce the pressure in the face and head that may cause a headache or migraine.

Our treatment technique

treatment will generally include soft massage of the nose, forehead and cheeks, during your adjustment, to release the pressure on the sinus cavities and allow for free drainage of fluids.

Which type of headache do you have… and what may be the cause? 

Our therapists can asses and diagnose the cause of your headache in order to provide superior treatment and long term care.

Ask one of our practitioners next time you visit the clinic to assess you. ​

Rib Misalignment & Chiropractic treatment

Did you know that all ribs in the chest can become misaligned?

Misalignment and unleveling can occur when a rib moves slightly backwards and inwards from the thoracic vertebra towards the spine.

The surrounding back muscles contract and tighten to protect the misalignment.

All of the rib attachments in our chest can become misaligned and cause varying types of pain.

Chiropractic treatment can help to realign the rib joints and relive pain symptoms. ​​

Symptoms of a rib misalignment include:

  • Difficulty or pain when breathing, sneezing, and coughing
  • Often causes a shooting pain around the front or side of the chest
  • May result in neck pain or headache
  • Can cause pain or numbness along the arm

Rib Misalignment is usually caused by:

  • Compression or trauma to the rib cage (i.e. squeezing or falling)
  • Injuries when hit from the side
  • Twisting injuries (usually a lifting and twisting movement)

Do you suffer from back pain?!

Back pain is very prevalent in Australia and 1 in 6 people suffer from it.  
​That is approximately 3.7 million people within our population are suffering from symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness and pain in the legs.

What’s more alarming is that many individuals who suffer from back pain, are often provided with incorrect treatment and advice or receive treatment that does not help to receive their symptoms or pain.
 
Once complications and serious other pathologies such as cancer, fracture, infections and arthritis are ruled out, physical therapy and alternative therapies including Chiropractic Care, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy have proven to be the most beneficial and least invasive approach to treat non-specific lower back pain and related symptoms. 

*research by Dr. Buchbinder, a professor and researched of clinical epidemiology at Monash University.

Functional Muscle Assessments are now available at ChiroCure Clinic

What is Functional movement screening?
A functional movement screening (FMS) is an appointment that involves using a  pre-participation screening tool, that is designed to identify compensatory movement patterns, that are indicative of increased injury risk and inefficient movement that causes reduced performance.

What are the functional movement screen tests?
The FMS helps identify muscle asymmetries, tightness, weakness and other risk factors for injury by examining the mobility and stability of the hips, core, shoulders, knees, spine and ankles.

The FMS consists of 7 movements

  • Deep Squat
  • Hurdle Step
  • Inline Lunge
  • Shoulder mobility
  • Rotary stability
  • Trunk stability Push ups
  • Straight leg raise

The scoring

  • Each movement is scored from 0-3 – This provides clear information on the client’s functional limitations and thus risk of injury.
  • Score will form the direction and pathway for corrective exercise programming or functional re-training.

Focus
Its role is to pinpoint areas of movement pattern limitation and asymmetry.

4X4 Matrix Posture assessment areas:

  • Supine/prone
  • Quadruped
  • Kneeling
  • Standing

Our practitioners will use a 4 by 4 matrix to try and fix the problems that have been shown in the FMS test.

Joint by Joint theory.
Our practitioners are trained to use Joint by joint theory to try and fix the pain and dysfunction. They can also perform a gait analysis to assess and improve your weight bearing and posture whilst walking and moving.

Taping
Our remedial therapists will apply kinesiology tape to areas that are prone to injuries and to offer also posture corrective support for the core muscles and surrounding ligaments and joints. Our therapists are also trained to use ridged tape for specific muscle groups to encourage stability and support.
