Blood flow to the Brain is affected by the curve in your Neck

Decreased Vertebral Artery Haemodynamics in Patients with Loss of Cervical Lordosis.

An interesting study by Bulut MD et. al. 2016 of relevance to virtually all patients who visit a chiropractor shows a correlation between the curve in your neck and blood flow to the brain.

That is right – the correct curve in your neck allows the blood to flow to your brain in an optimal fashion.

AUTHORS: Gao K, Zhang J, Lai J, Liu W, Lyu H, Wu Y, Lin Z, Cao Y.

RESULTS: The degree of disc herniation was higher in the straight and kyphosis groups compared to the lordosis group.

With the improvement of cervical lordotic curvature, the degree of disc herniation decreased and height of disc space increased.

CONCLUSIONS: The degree of disc herniation and cervical spinal cord compression are inversely correlated to cervical lordosis in young neck pain patients, and the degree of disc herniation and height of disc space can recover with the recovery of cervical lordotic curvature.

Well done for the lads on the weekend.

Nice to see the young cubs getting a tune up in Clinic prior to the big race.

Sometimes You need back surgery. Some times You don’t.

With up to 88% of spinal surgery being unnecessary or ineffectual maybe you want to avoid going under the knife.

Perhaps you don’t need surgery. Perhaps you need a second opinion with some realistic options to get better without drugs or surgery.

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.
