UPPER CROSS SYNDROME (INCORRECT SPINAL CURVATURE ON XRAYS)

17/11/2019

UPPER CROSS SYNDROME & CHIROPRACTIC

Upper Crosse Syndrome (UCS) is caused by an imbalance in the flexor and extensor muscles of the chest and upper back. It can be seen clearly on X-ray imaging referred by your chiropractor, when looking from the side of the spine at the spinal curves.

Posture will often result in the upper back muscles becoming increasingly tense and tight due to the constant strain of having shoulders positioned anteriorly forward, and the thoracic curve will be increased on imaging. This will often cause the chest muscles to become shortened and the shoulder region to tighten and curve due to constantly incorrectly held posture.

Risk Factors

Though those with a sedentary lifestyle are most at risk for the condition, it is not uncommon to find Upper Crossed Syndrome in athletes, particularly swimmers and weight lifters.

Symptoms

Headaches, neck pain and pain in the jaw may point to a case of UCS.
The effects of this condition can harm performance, reducing range of movement and inhibiting the ability to breathe fully due to the reduction of space in the abdomen.

Xray finding and symptoms

X-ray findings and outcome

On x-ray you will see incorrect curvature in the cervical and thoracic spine.
If not treated, the condition can deteriorate further causing eventual damage to the spine.
This happens due to the continual pressure on the front of the vertebrae causing compression and leading to cervical kyphosis.

Treatment and home care

neck shoulder stretches chirocure chiropractic clinic stkilda

Chiropractic treatment
The best treatment options involve a combination of exercise, physical therapy and chiropractic care.
First, a chiropractic adjustment can realign joints that have become misaligned due to tight muscles and bad posture. Proper chiropractic care will help increase range of movement while also allowing your body to relax tightened muscles and stretch shortened muscles.

Home care and rehab exercises
Supportive at-home exercises will further the goal of strengthening weak muscles and stretching tight ones.

Two simple things you can do at regular intervals throughout the day are to tuck your chin back in toward your chest and pull your shoulders back, and hold the position for 30 seconds at a time. Stretching the tight muscles and strengthening the weak ones will help restore proper posture and ensure the condition does not return.

How is posture related?

ChiroCure Clinic Chiropractors aim to restore healthy posture, spinal alignment, proper movement and flexibility. When incorrect curvature is diagnosed on x-rays, it is important to understand why. You spine should only have a curve when looking at the spine from the side, not from the front or back.

Curvature in the spine from the side is normal and expected for shock absorption. When our spinal curves are incorrect or not as they should be, symptoms of pain can worsen. We take x-rays to diagnose and assess the curve of your spine, and determine the health of the vertebrae and discs.

The following are the two moose common cause of incorrect spinal curves. The symptoms of each condition can vary from patient to patient, however the outcome, being degenerative change and bony change is very common. You can have both of the following syndromes, or just one in your spine.

Personal Training recommendations

How to get the most out of your treatment?
Why not co manage your condition with one of our recommended PT's?

How to get the most out of your chiropractic care
Your chiropractor is perfecting your postural alignment, aiming to have you moving more efficiently and without discomfort. Treatment involves a mix of techniques, including: gentle manipulation, drop piece, activator, soft tissue massage techniques, specific stretching and rehabilitation exercises; all to increase mobility and function, and improve posture. Over the course of your treatment, your body will begin to “hold” or retain this mobility and function. However, there are many things you can do as a patient to compliment your chiropractic therapy and achieve maximum results in minimal time; below we will discuss two of these – self myofascial release and targeted strength training.

Self Myofascial Release
In simple terms, this is something you can do yourself in your own environment, to help release muscles in your problem areas. These areas are those of discomfort or those your chiropractor works on. Self myofascial release mimics the effects of a deep tissue massage, penetrating deep into the muscle to relieve tightness and can be done with something as simple as a tennis ball, or a foam roller. There is no limit as to how much self myofascial release you can do, but the aim of therapy is to “chase the ache” and remain as relaxed as possible, as an activated muscle is much harder to release.
One common area of tightness for many individuals can be found in the gluteal and lower back areas. Follow the diagrams below to effectively treat you gluteal and lower back muscle tightness – chase the ache and remain as relaxed as possible through the muscle group you are trying to release.

Targeted Strength Training
Strength training is a form of exercise that is completed with either body eight, resistance or free hand weights, and aims to increase muscle mass and strength, tighten and tone your body as well as improve your musculoskeletal health. Musculoskeletal health is the health of your bones and muscles, and the elements that bind those together (tendons and ligaments) – these elements directly impact upon your posture. When your joints are not moving properly or are misaligned, this can directly impact upon your muscle strength and tightness in specific muscle groups, creating bad posture or ineffective movement patterns, which can then lead to pain and discomfort for you, the patient. Targeting strength training on these weak muscle groups will help improve joint function and posture for longer. The biggest consideration when thinking about strength training is technique - inappropriate or bad technique will send you backwards, and potentially cause harm and injury.

If you are unsure on where to start, want some pointers on technique, or want to look get the most out of your chiropractic care, please visit: www.pbltraining.com.au and talk to Louise McDonald about personal training.

Louise McDonald has a Bachelor of Nursing, Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness and works from the St Kilda area. She is currently offering a free assessment for a short time only.

Beyond The Spine: Our Extremity Adjusting

18/8/2019

Our chiropractors are also extremity adjusters!

At ChiroCure Clinic our chiropractors offer relief beyond the spine and neck, we can also manually adjust all the joints in your legs and arms!! This can help to relieve hip pain, ankle pain, shoulder pain, wrist pain, low back pain and all extremity dysfunction or pain symptoms.

Our experienced extremity Chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic can help with pain and joint tenderness by working with all of the following areas:

Feet and Ankles: Patients with a pronated, unnaturally rotated or collapsed foot arch will have a joint imbalance occurring in their tibia, femur, ankle joints and pelvis. Misalignment in any of the foot or ankle joints will often cause lumbar discomfort, chronic low back pain or pelvic weakness.

Shoulders: Patients with rounded, flared or uneven shoulders will often have misalignments occurring in their rib joints, clavicle, sternum or shoulder. Misalignment in the shoulders can often be seen during a posture scan. Patients with shoulder dysfunction will often experience upper and middle back pain, headaches, low energy and stiffness. Consistent extremity adjustments in this area can provide quick and effective relief.

Hands and wrists: Patients with misalignment in their hands and wrist may experience joint swelling, tingling, numbness, shooting nerve pain or stiffness. Adjusting the bones in the hand or wrist can bring about instant relief.

Knees and elbows: Just like the hands and wrists, an adjustment in the elbows and knees can result in relief for acute pain, joint swelling, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, clicking, patella dysfunction and meniscus injury.

Spinal adjustments and extremity manipulation help to restore the body’s natural functions.
Chiropractic can help with everything from poor posture to acute and chronic pain syndromes.
Most patients report improved sleep, more energy, improved immune response and better overall health.

Posture Correcting Exercises

1/8/2019

Exercises recommended by our Chiropractors

Here are some simple strategies our chiropractors recommend you can implement right now, whether at home or work for better health after your ChiroCure Clinic treatment.

Add these exercises and stretches to your daily routine, along with increasing your general activity and movement throughout the day to help your treatment result last longer.
Please feel free to ask any of our practitioners to show you how to add these, and other condition specific exercises to your rehab routine at your next appointment.

1. Chest Wall Stretch

How to do it: Find yourself a doorway, bend your arm out to the side forming a 90 degree angle with your shoulder and elbow. With the same foot as the bent arm, step forward to create a stretch in the front of your shoulder/chest region. Hold for 30-40 seconds and repeat 3x per day on each side. Ensure body is relaxed. Keep breathing throughout the stretch.

2. Triple Extension Isometrics (with resistant band)

Start by standing upright in the extended position. Keeping your arms long, neck relaxed and shoulder blades down towards your back pocket. Increase the tension from the band by stepping backwards until you find a challenging yet manageable level. Keep your chin tucked in to avoid the jaw from jutting forward.
Hold for 60 seconds and perform 3-5 x per day. Keep breathing throughout.

3. Glute Hip Raise

Begin lying on your back with your feet bent up at hip-width apart. Begin by contracting your glutes first, raising your hips to the roof until a straight line is achieved from your knees, hips and shoulders. Return back to start position from there. Perform 12-15 repetitions 3 x per day. To get more out of the exercise, count 2 seconds as you raise your hips, hold for 2 seconds at the top and lower back down over 4 seconds.

4. Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch

Place one foot in front of you and one foot behind you, make sure that your hips are square and that your back foot is in line with your front foot. When in a stable position, attempt to tuck your pelvis under (posteriorly tilt your pelvis) and contract your glut muscles simultaneously (on the same side as the back knee). If this isn’t enough, keep your pelvis tucked under and slowly move your hip away from back foot.
Hold the position for 30-40 seconds 3 x per day. Remain relaxed. The stretch may be uncomfortable but by no means painful.

Treatment for Upper & Lower Cross Syndrome

1/7/2019

Could your ‘desk posture’ be contributing to your lower back pain, neck pain or headaches? Chiropractic treatment can help!

Are you stuck behind a desk while slugging away at work all day long – five days a week?

If this sounds like you, there is a likely chance you might be suffering from what I like to call “desk posture”. Its typically characterised with your head projected anteriorly, your shoulders hunched forward, your hips feeling tight and your spine stooped over. Our chiropractors can assess and treat your spine to correct postural distortion causing your syndrome.

Other than the obvious physical appearance, what does this mean?

Decades ago, Vladimir Janda, a pioneer in physical medicine and rehabilitation, described this as the “Upper Cross Syndrome” (UCS) and “Lower Cross Syndrome” (LCS). While the body is amazingly robust and resilient, over time these postures can take a toll on the body. Problems may begin to arise involving the shoulder, neck, lower back, hips, knees and even the head and jaw joints.

Upper cross syndrome

In the UCS, your upper back muscles become increasingly tense due to the constant strain of having your shoulders forward and positioned anteriorly, while your chest & shoulder region becomes shortened or tightened due to this constantly held posture.

Lower cross syndrome

In the LCS, your glutes have become underactive or weakened due to remaining in a sustained lengthened position. This is also often accompanied with a tight or stiff hip due to the prolonged shortening of the muscles crossing the hip joint.

For a posture assessment or chiropractic spinal check appointment please contact ChiroCure Clinic on (03)90135133.

Winter is here... avoid sinus, colds and headaches with Treatment at ChiroCure Clinic

1/6/2019

Treatment at ChiroCure Clinic can help with avoiding sinus, headaches and colds this WINTER!! Find out how...

A common cause of sinus pressure and pain is the common cold or allergies, causing what is known as sinusitis. Headaches are often present when a patient is experiencing sinusitis or when having a cold.

Treatment with Chiropractic care or Remedial massage therapy at ChiroCure Clinic in St Kilda East aims to relieve stress on the nervous system and body structure, in order to help the body work more efficiently and help ensure that the skull bones move freely.

This will allow the body fluids to drain without interference, and in turn reduce the pressure in the face and head that may cause a headache or migraine.
(migraine-headache-treatment.html)

Our treatment technique

ChiroCure Clinic Chiropractors will generally include soft massage of the nose, forehead and cheeks, during your adjustment, to release the pressure on the sinus cavities and allow for free drainage of fluids.

Which type of headache do you have... and what may be the cause?

TBM Treatment at ChiroCure Clinic

1/5/2019

TBM Chiropractic Treatment Techniques

Total Body Modification (TBM) offers an allergy solution which relieves the individual and provides up to 95% improvement in symptoms.

TBM is a specialised chiropractic technique which allows imbalances to be detected and corrected through muscle testing and tapping specific body points.

TBM works in a similar manner to how acupuncture points relieve tension, TBM aims to harnesses energy channels which are linked to internal organs and system functioning.

Dr Tania Leski works to improve an individual's allergy condition or overactive nervous system. She will perform a series of muscle tests to discover and correct the internal imbalances and blockages that may be impairing your health. These corrections include the restoration of organ function, rebalance blood flow, restore pressure, and improve water utilization for longer lasting correction and better overall health.

Dr Leski’s chiropractic consultations will often include a component of TBM assessment and correction, which in effect 'switches on the body' to respond to the more advanced treatments, such as organ adjusting and parasympathetic (fight/fight) correction in future sessions.

Rib Misalignment & Chiropractic treatment

1/4/2019

Did you know that all ribs in the chest can become misaligned?

Misalignment and unleveling can occur when a rib moves slightly backwards and inwards from the thoracic vertebra towards the spine.

The surrounding back muscles contract and tighten to protect the misalignment.

All of the rib attachments in our chest can become misaligned and cause varying types of pain.

Chiropractic treatment can help to realign the rib joints and relive pain symptoms.

Symptoms of a rib misalignment include:

Difficulty or pain when breathing, sneezing, and coughing
Often causes a shooting pain around the front or side of the chest
May result in neck pain or headache
Can cause pain or numbness along the arm

Rib Misalignment is usually caused by:

Compression or trauma to the rib cage (i.e. squeezing or falling)
Injuries when hit from the side
Twisting injuries (usually a lifting and twisting movement)

Do you suffer from back pain?!

1/10/2018

Back pain is very prevalent in Australia and 1 in 6 people suffer from it.
That’s approximately 3.7 million people within our population that suffer from symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness in the legs and many more. What’s more alarming is that many individuals who suffer from back pain are often provided with incorrect treatment and advice.

Once complicated and serious pathologies such as cancer, fracture, infections and arthritis are ruled out, physical therapy and alternative therapies have proven to be the most beneficial and less invasive approach to nonspecific lower back pain. Treatments such as spinal injections are believed to be “part of the medicalization of lower back pain” as quoted by Dr. Buchbinder, a professor and researched of clinical epidemiology at Monash University. Spinal fusion is another approach to nonspecific lower back pain that is “highly invasive with little evidence to merit the procedure”.

Functional Muscle Assessments are now available at ChiroCure Clinic

What is Functional movement screening?
A functional movement screening (FMS) is an appointment that involves using a pre-participation screening tool, that is designed to identify compensatory movement patterns, that are indicative of increased injury risk and inefficient movement that causes reduced performance.

What are the functional movement screen tests?
The FMS helps identify muscle asymmetries, tightness, weakness and other risk factors for injury by examining the mobility and stability of the hips, core, shoulders, knees, spine and ankles.

The FMS consists of 7 movements

Deep Squat
Hurdle Step
Inline Lunge
Shoulder mobility
Rotary stability
Trunk stability Push ups
Straight leg raise

The scoring

Each movement is scored from 0-3 - This provides clear information on the client’s functional limitations and thus risk of injury.
Score will form the direction and pathway for corrective exercise programming or functional re-training.

Focus
Its role is to pinpoint areas of movement pattern limitation and asymmetry.

4X4 Matrix Posture assessment areas:

Supine/prone
Quadruped
Kneeling
Standing

Our practitioners will use a 4 by 4 matrix to try and fix the problems that have been shown in the FMS test.

Joint by Joint theory.
Our practitioners are trained to use Joint by joint theory to try and fix the pain and dysfunction. They can also perform a gait analysis to assess and improve your weight bearing and posture whilst walking and moving.

Taping
Our remedial therapists will apply kinesiology tape to areas that are prone to injuries and to offer also posture corrective support for the core muscles and surrounding ligaments and joints. Our therapists are also trained to use ridged tape for specific muscle groups to encourage stability and support.

WHAT IS A SPINAL SCREENING?
We all want a healthy, long and pain free easy life. To achieve this we try to take good care of our health, well-being, and body. The key to this is the health of your spine and the function of your nervous system. Please allow us to help you understand and discover just how important a spinal screening is, and what our chiropractors will look for and how care can benefit your health now, and long term.

WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY SPINE CHECKED?
If you haven't had your spine checked, consider this: How long would you go without brushing your teeth? Would you wait for your teeth to rot and fall out before you see a dentist? Would you wait for your car to break down before you book a service? Why not have a professional chiropractic assess the health of your spine before it starts to break down.

KEY BODY INDICATORS
Our Chiropractors look for the underlying cause of your health concern and provide recommendations for treatment and care. We will examine your spine, and use a computerised posture assessment tool that will analyse body position from the front and size to determine nerve interference and locate spinal misalignment.

KEY SIGNS
There are 10 key body signals that our chiropractors will look for during your spine screening:

Forward head carriage
Un-levelling at the shoulders
Rounding in the shoulders
Un-leveling at the hips
Misaligned or rotated pelvis
A lateral curvature in the spine (known as a scoliosis)_
Weight bearing on knees and ankles
Muscle tightness or weakness
Compensation or antalgic (leaning, sway back)
Postural strain (inflammation)
