My e-guide on how to treat low back pain at home just dropped!

During the pandemic lockdown and while I was on maternity leave I received numerous questions from patients who had injured their low back but couldn’t get in for care. While each case is different, I compiled a generalized guide with videos on how to help alleviate low back at home.

This step-by-step guide lays out what you should do (and shouldn’t do) at home when you’ve “thrown your back out”. These steps also work well for those who have nagging, chronic low back pain.

Spring has seemingly sprung! The urge to lace up your running or hiking shoes increases as the snow pack decreases. Spring is the time of year I see an uptick in plantar fasciitis cases hobbling into the clinic. Could this be the cause of your foot pain? Read on to find out!

Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that causes pain and inflammation in the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot, connecting the heel to the toes. This condition typically presents as a stabbing pain in the heel(not always the heel) that is worst in the morning or after prolonged periods of rest, and can improve after some walking or stretching.

The exact cause of plantar fasciitis is unknown, but it is often associated with repetitive stress or strain on the foot, such as running or standing for long periods of time. People who have high arches or flat feet may also be at a higher risk for developing this condition.

Treatment for plantar fasciitis at Due North involves a combination of chiropractic adjustments, (yes, I adjust the feet, not just the spine) manual therapies such is Graston technique and fascial stripping, stretching, and a check of your current footwear to see if a more or less supportive shoe could help.
In some cases, a night splint may be recommended in order to keep the foot in a stretched position while sleeping or resting.

As with any condition treated at Due North, symptom management is always a goal, diagnosing the root cause of your foot pain is the highest priority in order to sidestep a reoccurrence!

Have you been experiencing headaches at the base of the back of your head? Above eyebrows? Or behind your eyes? A muscle group known as the suboccipitals could be to blame.

The suboccipital muscles are a group of small muscles located at the base of the skull, just above the upper neck. These muscles play an important role in head and neck movement and stability. When these muscles become tense or tight, they can cause pain and discomfort in the head and neck region, and this can sometimes lead to headaches and migraines.

There are several ways in which tension or tightness in the suboccipital muscles can contribute to headaches and migraines. First, these muscles are closely connected to the occipital nerves, which provide sensory information to the back of the head and neck. When the suboccipital muscles are tight, they can compress or irritate these nerves, causing pain that can be felt as a headache or migraine.

Second, the suboccipital muscles are also involved in the movement and stabilization of the upper cervical spine. When these muscles are tense or imbalanced, they can lead to misalignment or dysfunction in the upper cervical spine, which can contribute to headaches and migraines.

Finally, the suboccipital muscles are part of a larger network of muscles and fascia that run from the head to the feet. Tension or dysfunction in any part of this network can lead to imbalances and compensations throughout the body, which can contribute to headaches and migraines.

Overall, the relationship between the suboccipital muscles and headaches or migraines is complex and multifactorial. However, addressing tension or tightness in these muscles through techniques such as massage, stretching, and chiropractic adjustments can often provide relief for those who suffer from headaches and migraines.

Cupping is a traditional therapy technique that involves placing cups on the skin and creating a vacuum to draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. This is typically done using either heat or a mechanical suction device. The cups are typically left in place for a few minutes, and then removed.

Cupping is thought to be beneficial in a few ways. First, it can help to relieve muscle tension and pain by increasing blood flow to the affected area. This can also help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Cupping has also been used to help with respiratory issues, such as coughs and asthma, as it is believed to help loosen mucus and improve lung function.

Cupping has also been used to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Many people find the sensation of the cups being placed on their skin to be soothing, and the therapy may help to release tension and promote a sense of calm.

Cupping, if deemed useful in your condition, is included in a standard chiropractic visit as well as a massage therapy session here at Due North. Schedule an appointment today to see if cupping should be a part of your treatment plan!
