Inflammation is part of the body’s innate intelligence, a method by which damage is repaired. Unfortunately when this gets painful, it can be difficult for some people to let the body heal itself unaided so they reach for the drugs. Can’t blame anyone for this – as you have been aggressively marketed to for generations now.

NSAID’s can do the job, they may dull the pain. However, this fast relief comes at a cost.

Raised liver enzymes, diarrhoea, headaches, dizziness, salt and fluid retention and high blood pressure are only a few of the numerous side effects that come with use of NSAID’s.

For effective spinal health care that continues outside of The Spinal Centre, the Denneroll Spinal Orthotics provide an effective stretch to your muscles and your spine.

Loss of your healthy spinal curves is one of the earliest contributors to poor function and irreversible spinal damage. The Denneroll products create a stretch which can improve movement, relieve muscle tension, and assist in the correction of poor spinal curves. Used consistently, these simple products can change your spine towards better health. We encourage those who are involved in rehabilitation at The Spinal Centre to use the Denneroll regularly at home to further enhance the traction and exercises done in clinic. Holidays usually means chiropractic care goes out the window! With the denneroll being so compact, our patients can continue to correct their spine while travelling all over the globe! Here are some of our patients kicking back with their dennerolls.

Many people (around 200,000) undergo lumbar spine surgery each years. Of those, an astonishing 20-40% will not become pain free as promised – and a full 10% will be worse off following the surgery!

To understand what is meant by “disc injury” it is necessary to understand the function and make up of the disc itself.

During our lives, many of us will have neck pain, and most of us won’t know exactly what caused it. In fact, neck pain can start from a whole range of causes.

Maybe you slept funny and woke up with a crick that won’t go away. You might’ve been rear-ended in your car and now you have whiplash.

Back pain is a very common complaint. About three in four adults will experience back pain during their lifetime-and that number may very well rise, given our aging population and recent trend of obesity.

Low back pain (pain in your lumbar spine) is the most common. Most back pain comes from sprains and strains caused by stressful movements: lifting something without using proper techniques or a sudden twisting motion are just two examples of how you can hurt your back.

The spine is a complicated structure of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. You can sprain ligaments, strain muscles, rupture discs, and irritate joints, all of which can lead to varying forms of spinal pains.

While sports injuries or accidents can cause spinal pain, sometimes the simplest of movements – for example, picking up a pencil from the floor – can have painful results.
