Decreased Vertebral Artery Haemodynamics in Patients with Loss of Cervical Lordosis
Published: Med Sci Monit. 2016 Feb 15;22:495-500. Referenced in Pub Med: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26876295
Authors: Bulut MD, Alpayci M, Şenköy E, Bora A, Yazmalar L, Yavuz A1, Gülşen İ.
BACKGROUND: Because loss of cervical lordosis leads to disrupted biomechanics, the natural lordotic curvature is considered to be an ideal posture for the cervical spine. The vertebral arteries proceed in the transverse foramen of each cervical vertebra.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study revealed a significant association between loss of cervical lordosis and decreased vertebral artery hemodynamics, including diameter, flow volume, and peak systolic velocity.
The Science of Fasting Workshop

Detox Workshop Salad Recipe
Detox Workshop Salad
This easy and nutritious salad was an absolute hit at the Spring Detox Workshop. Due to a popular demand I had to right down dosages and come up with an actual recipe. A difficult task for someone who never follows cooking recipes strictly and always likes to experiment.
The good thing about salads is that you don’t have to be that precise with measuring ingredients, you just mix everything together in a bowl.
Correcting Lower Back Disc Injuries
Case History: Chronic Lower Back Pain, Disc Herniation and Prolapse
This is not a testimonial. This is a Case Study of a real patient who attended the Practice.
Mr. B. is a 47 year old male factory worker that attended the Practice with acute debilitating lower back pain and disability. His diagnosis was that of lower back disc injuries (L3, L4 and L5). He was suffering chronic spinal pains, mid back and lower back pain with associated myofascial (muscle) weakness in the lumbopelvic region.
And…. This Is Why We Check Kids
Scoliosis and Postural Screening Assessment
Is it Time To Have Your Child’s Spine and Posture Checked?
These are the results of a spinal, postural and scoliosis assessment of one of the children we assessed during the holiday period.
Back in the day scoliosis and growth checks where done by doctors and nurses who visited schools to screen children. It was a valuable service provided by the government to screen all primary age children for genetic, growth or developmental disorders.
But who is performing this service now?
Congratulations To Ilja
It is not just about the pain you are in; it is the impact it has on your life.
One of our fantastic patients, Ilja placed first in a recent golf tournament. Braving some terrible conditions he won first place in +3 par competition. Still a fair bit of work to do but happy with how he played.
The smiling chap above is a long way from the severely stressed patient that first attended the Practice with chronic neck pain and disability.
It is not just about the pain you are in; it is the impact it has on your life. You become the limitations of your injury as opposed to living a life you want to live.
