Lower back pain;

Driving, sitting, carrying bags a lot of what we do in our everyday life we use our lower backs. Sometimes the lower back can be the cause of leg pain. Facet joints where one spinal bone joins the other, muscle spasms/strains and disc injuries may potentially be the cause lower back pain.

 

Neck and mid back pain;

Difficulty driving, turning neck and checking our blindspots?  A lot of us today look down on our phone and tablets this can affect our posture and ultimately the neck.

Just like the lower back the pain culprits can be facet joints where one spinal bone joins the other, muscle spasms/strains and disc injuries.

 

Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction PSD/SPD;

Pain around the lower back and pelvis when pregnant. During the first and last trimester a lot of changes happen to the body, and the hormone relaxin is released. This can cause the pubic symphysis to come under extra strain and become painful. Why not call today if concerned.

 

Cervicogenic Headache;

Headaches that arise from the neck, sometimes can be a band around the forehead, one side of the temple or pressure behind the eye. Always a good idea to have your blood pressure checked at the GP and an eye test, if both ruled out the headache culprit maybe coming from your neck.
