Chiropractic for Headaches
Headache is one of the most common illnesses in Australia, with around 15 per cent of us taking painkillers for a headache at any given time.
Because headaches are so common, most people think they are a normal part of life. However, a persistent headache is a sign that something is wrong. The continual use of pain medication to combat headaches is akin to removing the warning light that alerts you to a problem in your car! Medication doesn’t solve your headache, it simply offers a short term solution to dull the pain.
Types of Headache Tension headaches and migraine are the most common forms of headache and cluster headaches are most rare. Other types of headache include sinus headache, rebound headache and exertion headache.
Causes of Headache Headaches can result due to a variety of reasons including stress, poor posture, accidents, medications, environmental factors such as strong odours & pollution and dietary irregularities.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked cause of migraine and tension headache is due to nerve irritation in the upper neck caused by poorly functioning spinal joints – Vertebral dysfunction. Since the nerves of the upper neck supply areas of the scalp and face, irritation to these nerves can and often lead to headache.
Assessment of Headache Your Caufleild Chiro will carefully analyse potential headache triggers and perform a detailed history, orthopaedic, neurological and spinal examination to determine the cause of your headache. Further diagnostic testing such as XRay or MRI may also be required. Upon arriving at a specific diagnosis, your care can begin.
Relief From Headache Chiropractic is an extremely effective treatment for headaches. By carefully restoring proper movement to the spinal joints of the neck, your Chiropractor is able to significantly reduce the presence of nerve irritation and muscle tension helping to alleviate the cause of your headaches.

Chiropractic and prolapsed disc research
Chiro care helps 88% of slipped disc patients – research
New research has provided further confirmation of the effectiveness of chiropractic health care in treating low back pain.
A Swiss study of 148 patients aged between 18 and 65 with slipped, or herniated discs, found that 88% of patients’ conditions had improved one year after receiving chiropractic treatment.
“It’s exciting to see yet more evidence that chiropractic health care is a valuable and reliable form of health care for people with serious back pain,” the President of the Victorian Branch of the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia, Dr Helen Alevaki said.
“Researchers estimate that 80 per cent of Australians will experience significant back pain in their life time and causes hundreds of thousands of Australians to leave work early.
“There is a strong body of scientific evidence that indicates chiropractic health care can be extremely effective in treating back and neck pain. The challenge for chiropractors is to let more Australians know just how safe and effective chiropractic health care is, so that a greater number of Australians can relieve their back pain and enjoy their lives more.”
The study, published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, involved conducting Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans on each patient to confirm lumbar disc herniation – a common cause of back pain. Patients were then treated by a Chiropractor and the effects of treatment were evaluated using several different methods.
After three months, 90.5 per cent of patients were improved, with 88 per cent experiencing improvement in their back condition after one year. The study found that the vast majority of patients with MRI-diagnosed disc herniation reported clinically relevant improvement to their condition.
“Slipped discs can cause great pain. They can occur as a result of lifting heavy loads, as a result of age or simply lifting up a child for a cuddle,” Dr Alevaki said.
“Chiropractic treatment is non-invasive and drug-free, so many people with serious back pain like to visit their local chiropractor for treatment and advice.”

Knee Injuries
Knee pain or knee injuries are extremely common, and there are many causes. The knee needs to function properly to provide flexible mobility while bearing considerable weight. While walking down the street, our knees bear three to five times our body weight. Many jobs, sports and recreation activities, getting older, or having a disease such as osteoporosis or arthritis increase the chances of having a knee problem.
Sudden (acute) injuries may be caused by a direct blow to the knee or from abnormal twisting, bending the knee or falling on the knee.
Overuse injuries occur with repetitive activities or repeated or prolonged pressure on the knee. Activities such as stair climbing, bicycle riding, jogging, or jumping stress joints and other tissues and can lead to irritation and inflammation.
It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your knee pain or injury so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. Our approach of assessing and treating the knee includes the evaluation of the other joints and muscles relating to the knee. This is for several reasons:
-
Firstly, pain can be referred from other structures in the low back, pelvis and hip into the knee, in certain conditions.
-
Secondly, if other joints in the lower limb are not working correctly they can put increased stress on the knee joint, resulting in injury over time. Therefore to resolve the knee pain chiropractors may also treat other areas, to maximise long-term improvement.
Your Chiropractor will discuss the injury with you and estimate the time it will take to recover. Chiropractic care for patients with this condition is vital to hasten the healing process, ensure an optimal outcome and reduce the likelihood of injury recurrence.
Chiropractic treatment of knee pain
We would normally modify the treatment to suit each patient and their specific conditions. So the type of treatment that is most appropriate for one person is not necessarily right for another.
-
Reduce joint inflammation and reduce pain
-
Avoidance of aggravating factors, use of a support, sports tape
-
Ice to reduce inflammation, muscle spasm and pain
-
Soft tissue healing: Myotherapy, Physiotherapy and Massage
-
Normalise joint function
-
Specific chiropractic adjusting techniques to areas of restricted movement in the knee and surrounding joints, to increase movement, improve the function and reduce pain as well as adjustments to the lower back & pelvis
-
Deep soft tissue massage, trigger-point therapy and cross-friction
-
Rehabilitation exercise program
-
When appropriate we introduce exercises to improve strength, endurance and stability. We also work on improving your balance and your sense of joint position (proprioception). This will help you to return to normal and also prevent new injuries.

Childhood Headache
A Child that has a headache is not meant to be a normal occurrence, unfortunately we are seeing more and more children suffering headaches. This Case Study was performed at Caulfield Family Chiropractic and here are the finding.
A 9 year old child presented to his scheduled monthly appointment with complaints of headaches and dizziness. The day prior he had fallen backwards and the base of his skull on a concrete floor. Immediately afterwards he became dizzy and unable to walk without assistance. He was taken to hospital and later discharged, diagnosed with ‘mild concussion’.
On the day that the patient presented, he was able to walk but was still suffering from low energy, dizziness and headache.
Physical examination revealed no red flag or neurological symptoms. Palpation revealed a very tender and restricted left occiput. This particular patient always makes a fuss about his neck being adjusted but was happy to proceed at the time without complaint due to his symptoms.
Immediately after the adjustment the patient yelled aloud “THAT FELT AMAZING”, and stated that he had a near immediate relief of symptoms.
Cases like this highlight two things; 1) that early intervention generally results in rapid results and 2) that children generally ‘bounce back’ quickly, especially compared to adults. Imagine what may have happened if that neck was left uncorrected.

The New You
It’s that time of year again when everyone is setting out New Year’s Resolutions and unfortunately it won’t be long till a majority of people start breaking them.
There are many reasons why New Year Resolutions don’t stick- they may be unrealistic, there is a lack of self-discipline or life gets “too busy”.
Caulfield Family Chiropractic’s™ New Year resolution is all about you and what we can do to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year for you. Our goal at Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ not only to maintain but also to improve the high standard of care you’ve experienced with us.
As part of our resolution at Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ we are going to teach you how to live a healthy, pain-free life. Your success is ours, and we are committed to your health and well-being.
In many cases there is more than one factor contributing to your pain, especially if it is recurrent or has been there for a long time. Often getting rid of your pain is the easy part. Stopping it from coming back is the real challenge.
At Caulfield Family Chiropractic™ we provide you with lasting freedom from pain, so your treatment program will include specific techniques and exercises that correct the underlying cause of your problems, not just give you temporary relief.
Chiropractic care is valuable for you, and is valuable for your children. Kids are natural explorers – they run, jump, climb things, fall down, and bounce around. Kids are resilient – this ability to recover quickly is one of the great benefits of being very young. Occasionally, one of these activity-related injuries impacts a child’s spine. Nothing obvious has happened and nothing hurts. But there may be subtle injuries to spinal muscles and spinal ligaments that have a long-term effect on spinal nerve function.
Chiropractors are the spinal health professionals to see. Helping to restore proper spinal biomechanics and improved nervous system function begins with a patient’s case history.
After reviewing your history and discussing your specific problem, a thorough orthopaedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination is performed. X-rays may be taken to uncover structural and functioning problems associated with the spinal column. These examinations help identify areas of spinal malfunction and resulting nervous system deficit. The findings of these examinations are explained and a plan of chiropractic adjustments may be recommended. Progress is monitored with periodical examinations and follow-up reports.
The New You
Chiropractic uses scientific methods for the relief of pain, spinal misalignment and nerve irritation. It is also effective in addressing many back pain issues. If prevention sounds like a better idea, chiropractic also helps to keep your body functioning at its best.
Now it’s your turn to make 2019 a healthy and pain-free year!
Wellness
The lesson I learnt about wellness care when I recently took my car in for a service.
Like a lot of people, I had neglected my car, it had been 1 and a half years since the last service.The car was starting to sound a little under the weather so I took it in.
A new alternator, front brake pads, spark plugs, oil change and service was all it took for the bill to creep well over $1200.
What is the other option. I can take my car in every 6 months, maintain the car for around $200-$300 a service and my car and wallet will be better off.
What has this got to do with healthcare?
It is better for your health and hip pocket to maintain your body with regular tune ups.
We recommend a combination of chiropractic, myotherapy and core strength all of which is provided at Caulfield Family Chiropractic.
Call today and discuss a maintenance program tailored to your lifestyle today.
