Positive Pain Solutions Redcliffe
Our unique body mapping assessment eliminates the guess work for the treatment of chronic back pain.
Chronic Pain can be a bit like a leaky roof…. Water trickles out from one point but the source may originate elsewhere. Where your pain presents may not be where the source of the problem is.
As you can see from this diagram, muscles are affected from the tip of the fingers to the foot.
Back Pain …Current statistics state 8 out of 10 people suffer from back pain. If you are one of the unfortunate 8, I don’t need to tell you how much of an impact back pain can have on your life, whether that be with constant aching back pain, debilitating pain to the point you can’t get out of bed, or pain that comes and goes and can be quite unpredictable.
Faulty postural alignment could be causing your back pain
Back pain for example, may be generated from faulty postural alignment of the shoulder.
At Positive Pain Solutions we want you to enjoy life and not be burdened by the day to day struggles of chronic pain.
Our primary focus is on identifying the cause and source of your pain.
To determine why you are in pain, your body is assessed using a series of orthopaedic assessments: your ability to move, how well specific joints move, muscle length and strength testing as well as standing and lying down postural alignment assessment. These tests are non-invasive.
Once the source of the dysfunction has been identified your treatment begins (in the first consultation).
Our primary aim is to identify joint stiffness (including the spine and pelvis). Utilising a series of unique muscle mapping strategies we can then identify the muscular cause of the dysfunction.
In very simplistic terms, how the musculoskeletal system works is: muscles contract to make joints move, an electrical impulse from the brain makes the muscles contract.
When there is a disruption of impulse from the brain to the muscle, tension occurs along the whole pulley system producing associated joints stiffness, muscle and nerve pain.
To correct this dysfunction, we “re-educate/reset” the impulse between muscle and brain through a specific, very low grade contraction of the muscle (a bit like ”rebooting” your computer). Repeated stimulation of the muscles ‘awakens’ the electrical impulse and the muscle starts to function again.
When this occurs, tension of the muscle is relaxed and so is the associated tightness in the rest of the “pulley” system, joint stiffness and nerve pain. Muscle and joint tension changes are noticed immediately.
Faulty postural alignment over a period of time causes muscles to become tight. You may also benefit from visiting our qualified massage therapist to reduce your muscle tightness to speed up your pain reduction.
Apart from the reduction of back pain, there are many benefits of having your body’s alignment in tip top shape.
- decreased stress and wear and tear on joints, muscles, tendons ligaments and nerves
- decreased muscular and joint aches and pains
- enhanced sporting performance
- increased muscular strength
- increased flexibility
- improved general well being
You may be surprised to learn that many chronic pain conditions can be treated quickly and effectively with long lasting results.
