FYI

Not at all!

While dry needling and acupuncture may share some similarities they are very different from one another.

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique primarily focused on addressing musculoskeletal pain and works on specific trigger points to reduce muscle tension and alleviate pain, whereas acupuncture focuses on inserting a thin needle into specific acupuncture points along meridians of the body to address systemic conditions.

What is Piriformis Syndrome?

Plainly put, it is the inflammation and irritation of the sciatic nerve (which is located in the region of the buttock) due to the compression of a nearby structure called the piriformis muscle.

The piriformis muscle functions to turn the leg out when engaged.

The sciatic nerve may pass through or under the piriformis muscle and runs down the leg to supply structures of the lower limb.

When the Piriformis muscle is in spasm it can compress the sciatic nerve and create symptoms for patients.

It is also commonly referred to as wallet sciatica and pseudo sciatica.

If you are battling with this or any condition please contact your closest CASA-registered chiropractor for correct diagnosis and treatment.

Did you know that every year on the 16th of October is World Spine Day?

On this day we raise awareness about a structure that is commonly overlooked and/or neglected without realizing that this structure is one of the most important structures of the human body...YOUR SPINE!

This year's theme is Every Spine Counts which means exactly that. Every spine counts from new born babies to the elderly, all ethnicities, all financial/income classes, and literally every other demographic. It doesn't matter where you are from, who you are, or who you know, YOUR SPINE COUNTS!!

So let's all make this month of October, World Spine MONTH and take the time to do some research into how Chiropractic can help you take better care of your spine and make proactive moves to achieve a healthy spine.

Did you know?

Your spine consists of 33 vertebrae starting from the top of the neck down to the tip of your tailbone.

Vertebrae are the individual bones that interlock with each other to form the spinal column. The vertebrae are numbered and divided into regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (upper back/chest area), lumbar (lower back), sacrum (central pelvic area), and coccyx (tailbone). Only the top 24 bones are moveable; the vertebrae of the sacrum and coccyx are fused.

Inflammation in the body can be caused by many different things. Here's an easy day to day natural remedy that you can use to help reduce inflammation and boost your immune system. You can also add ginger to this mix and remember to always use raw ingredients.

Thank you to my patient who shared this video with me after reading my blog on back pain and inflammation https://pretoriaeastchiropractor.com/back-pain-and-inflammation/

FYI 😉

Gardening is a great form of exercise but with standing, bending and lifting heavy pots your back is bound to take a beating! Here are some tips to safeguard your back while gardening:

1. Consider warming up or stretching before you start your day of gardening activities
2. Consider taking regular breaks while you are gardening to minimise the strain on your back
3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you need to move bags of compost or heavy pots, ask someone to assist you.
4. Delegate activities to those who are capable. If you are unable to bend then ask someone to lift for you.
5. Contact your CASA-registered chiropractor if you are experiencing any garden related back pain injuries:
