COTHAM CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

Mechanical neck pain is a very common symptom of our increasingly sedentary and desk-based lives. It can have several components including but not limited to the joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and intervertebral discs. Posture, work-life, stress and trauma can all contribute to symptoms in the neck.
Chiropractic employs many techniques to assess and treat the causes of neck pain. These vary from patient to patient depending on age and health-status. The techniques include joint mobilisation and/or manipulation, muscle massage and stretching coupled with home stretching, icing and/or heating.
Rehabilitation and lifestyle changes are also addressed to alter any faulty movement or postural patterns which would otherwise tend towards a recurrence of the same symptoms.
The National Obesity Forum is a useful resource regarding the state of the nation's weight and its relationship to our nutrition. It boils down to the fact that it's too simple to say that 'Fat is the enemy'. A reduction in saturated fats is good, but shouldn't be replaced by simple carbohydrates. In a nutshell, the type and amount of food you eat is important, and should be balanced but low in sugars. Whole foods are best. Exercise is crucial to health generally, and simply switching to 'Diet' foods and drinks will not work in the long run.
