Worms will soon pull them underground and the leaves will add nutrients to your lawn … but remember mowers can be bad for your back too – so stand directly behind your mower handle with a straight back and hands resting evenly on the handles.</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />

More people suffer from back pain in the South-West than in any other part of Great Britain – amost half (47%) of the people surveyed reported that they were currently suffering from back pain, compared with just 40% in the South-East.</div>

And the life style in the region appears to be largely responsible for the epidemic: whereas the top trigger – lifting or carrying heavy objects – afflicts fewer than half of London sufferers, it causes pain for 60% of those in the South-West, more than any other part of the UK.</div>

So our local population is more likely to need a chiropractor than anywhere else in the country … good news for us at least and would explain why, in the last 20 years, we have expanded from a single clinic with one chiropractor to a chain of clinics with up to half a dozen chiropractors treating over 500 patients every week.</div>

Those of you who participated in our Facebook teaser may wonder why totting up the number of bones in the picture didn't automatically equate to a correct answer (26).<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz2u-NhuKCsTneCEjPn_ixipwOb88GBPu-qEOatQQQtIAaa8qvKGhHjSqntE7AQNC79vit0yCz6fzL_mJ7GYepyOpJ63KylCjTZp1dwsVNKQDlsfzaqyRo0K1-xT9OrPUEs9UwyG24cb92/s1600/2017-12-11_21-40-42.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz2u-NhuKCsTneCEjPn_ixipwOb88GBPu-qEOatQQQtIAaa8qvKGhHjSqntE7AQNC79vit0yCz6fzL_mJ7GYepyOpJ63KylCjTZp1dwsVNKQDlsfzaqyRo0K1-xT9OrPUEs9UwyG24cb92/s320/2017-12-11_21-40-42.png" width="272" /></a><br />
If you open a basic anatomy textbook (or Google the question 'how many bones are there in the human foot' then this is, indeed, the answer you are likely to get:<br />
<br />
• Seven tarsal bones (Medial, intermediate and lateral cuneiforms; cuboid, talus, navicular, and calcaneus).<br />
• Five metatarsals<br />
• Fourteen palanges – the big toe only has two, the other toes have three (actually to an embryologist, they all have three: the medial cuneiform starts life as a metatarsal; the navicular, which forms the keystone of the longitudinal arch, as a cuneiform and the metatarsal in actually an elongated proximal phalanx).<br />
<br />
Total 26.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>However …</b><br />
<br />
This ignores the fact that othopaedists will also include the fibula and tibia which are functionally part of the foot, being connected to it by the medial and lateral collateral ligaments – the ones you sprain when you twist your angle.<br />
<br />
So that's 28.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyeax5uiiVVFw39JdbPAOiFfNSurDmBRs3YGxZ8wK6vmGHoezzdisMPBbitdv5AQCh5xzWSgZOzymyWTF3Jdf6vlMFL5yVq7f29jHAt7TQ7GaK5-yudYJ-StJNr_pzdpIu1r1akocul95f/s1600/Foot+x-ray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1169" data-original-width="1600" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyeax5uiiVVFw39JdbPAOiFfNSurDmBRs3YGxZ8wK6vmGHoezzdisMPBbitdv5AQCh5xzWSgZOzymyWTF3Jdf6vlMFL5yVq7f29jHAt7TQ7GaK5-yudYJ-StJNr_pzdpIu1r1akocul95f/s320/Foot+x-ray.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Or the fact that the majority of adults have two additional sesamoid bones underneath their big toe, like miniature kneecaps.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZAmFul-LUtcjnlCWY_GrOw2magyXZMsTd6f2VDvZRm0oaSYM2k-mIt1KBykiZabibGKTvQVhp5Rdtrq4U_31RTCCAk-mTFCe0ZMJfAfHq0N0MDaXP9JKQkNPglg2_YDw0dGi1d2ck5vV/s1600/2017-12-11_21-42-46.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHZAmFul-LUtcjnlCWY_GrOw2magyXZMsTd6f2VDvZRm0oaSYM2k-mIt1KBykiZabibGKTvQVhp5Rdtrq4U_31RTCCAk-mTFCe0ZMJfAfHq0N0MDaXP9JKQkNPglg2_YDw0dGi1d2ck5vV/s200/2017-12-11_21-42-46.png" width="130" /></a>So that's 30.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>However …</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
These bones can commonly be bipartate, that is formed in two parts – so that makes 31 … or 32 – and other bones can also be formed in two parts.<br />
<br />

There are also dozens of of other, less common, anatomical variants including up to twenty other sesamoid bones, of which the most common is the os trigonum followed by other sesamoidal toe bones.<br />

<b>However …</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You can also have extra bones – particularly toes (Anne Boleyn famously has six toes and fingers – and a supernumerary nipple – which helped fuel the assertion she was a witch). Extra toes can form in several ways, with a variety of extra bones forming.<br />
<br />

<b><b>And finally …</b></b><br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
You are actually born with just 22 bones in your foot. Several of the tarsal bones are still just cartilage at birth that gradually develop into bone as you grow over the first decade or so of life. So children have fewer bones initially; however, some bones have more that one ossification centre, which makes it appear that, at some points in time, they have more than 26 bones … or 30 bones … or (my favourite answer), "lots".<br />

scraping a planting hole with a trowel falls, for many people, into the
category of ‘no pain, no gain’. An afternoon of trowel use hurts your wrist and

a way to fill your borders with flowers and your beds with vegetables without
it costing you several visits to a chiropractor.<o:p></o:p></div>

inch of soil with seedlings the moment Easter has passed, then not only are you
going to avoid frosts but your plants are much less likely to get checked by an
inclement May – instead of planting out young, tender plants into the soil, pot
them on into three-inch pots and harden them off for a couple of weeks.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Not only will you have healthier plants that flower earlier,
but this will also enable you to employ a cunning, pain-free method of
planting. A three-inch pot pretty much perfectly fills the plug-hole from a
bulb planter, and if you invest in a long-handled planter with a foot bar, then
it takes very little effort and no bending or digging to make a series of holes
into which you can simply drop your mature plants, which then only need to be
heeled in.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another tip is to make sure you keep an edge on the bulb
planter – it’s a cutting tool and will go into soil with far less effort
if it’s sharp and consider dividing up your planting into twenty-minute
sessions: there are plenty of other jobs to be getting on with in between
planting out and frequent changes of activity help to avoid physical stress and
strain.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Normally Wednesday is the one working day when I spend the whole day in the same clinic … which means I actually get a lunch hour – or more accurately 56 minutes in which to meet with my practice manager, make phone calls, write emails and do the 1001 other things associated with running four clinics and 4 minutes to wolf down a sandwich.</span></div>

That’s when identifying the component parts of the problem then treating the mind, balancing the occlusion and preventing the clenching allows the adjustments and exercises prescribed by the chiropractor to start working. Headache clinic days are always great days because you get to work with fascinating people on challenging and interesting patients – I also get to sit down to eat lunch before we start, although this brief period of relaxation is somewhat countered by having to fit three clinics into one day.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Like all regulated healthcare professionals, chiropractors have to complete a minimum amount (30 hours) of continuing professional development every year in order to maintain their professional registration. Even if we didn’t, I would still go to the AGM of the Royal College of Chiropractors … in fact I have been to every AGM since the very first in 1997 (bar last year’s when it was oversubscribed and I couldn’t get a place … so popular and important have they become).</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The Royal College of Chiropractors (<a href="http://rcc-uk.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">http://rcc-uk.org</span></a>) is – and will probably remain – the most important thing that has happened to chiropractic this century. Much like the passing of the Chiropractors’ Act in 1994, which paved the way to statutory regulation, the setting of minimum educational standards, a Code of Practice and protection of title (when I graduated, anyone could style themselves a chiropractor), the granting of a Royal Charter to the College of Chiropractors in 2012 was a pivotal moment … I don’t think may people yet recognise how pivotal.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">For the first time, the chiropractic profession has recognised specialists developing their post-graduate skills though Faculties (of Pregnancy & Paediatrics, Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, Sports & Exercise, Animal Chiropractic and my own area of specialism, Pain). The AGM always kicks off with the Faculty AGM’s … this year’s Pain Faculty was taken up for the most part with development, as befits the College’s youngest faculty. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The discussions were wide-ranging: the new NICE Guidelines for Low Back Pain & Sciatica (<a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/NG59"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/NG59</span></a>) again include spinal manipulative therapy and exercise and amongst the few therapies that actually work (good news for chiropractors and osteopaths); however, acupuncture is no longer included – although it will, I hasten to add, continue to be offered as part of our treatment packages despite this. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I pointed out to the meeting that the entire basis for the decision was fundamentally flawed: acupuncture has many different schools with very different approaches (we use medical acupuncture – also known as ‘dry-needling’ – to treat myofascial pain syndromes) and low back pain and sciatica are not diseases but symptoms which have many different causes, some of which will respond and some of which may not. (<a href="http://docmartin99.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/sciatica-is-not-only-condition-thats.html"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">http://docmartin99.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/sciatica-is-not-only-condition-thats.html</span></a>)</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">What can be said with certainty is that myofascial pain syndromes are an invariable part of almost all low back pain, whatever its cause, and there is abundant evidence that dry-needling is highly effective in treating the trigger points responsible for the pain. The Guidelines therefore demonstrate a failure of joined up thinking … so I got volunteered to write an article for the College’s journal explaining this in scientific terms.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">It also made me realise how cutting edge much of what chiropractic is now doing can be – and how it contrasts with some elements of the profession (mostly imports from countries which ought to know better but apparently don’t) who regard the General Chiropractic Council as a nuisance and want to go on delivering care based on benefit to their bank balance using protocols based on 19th century metaphysics. </span></div>

the start-stop of shops: so start with a plan rather than wandering aimlessly,
it will mean less time on your feet and less strain on your joints … tempting
though it is to search out the best bargains, looking at the same item in half
a dozen different stores adds mileage and any savings need to be offset again
extra parking time… and a visit to a chiropractor if you’ve overdone it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Five minutes preparation before you leave the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">As with so
much in life, clinical routine has its seasonal features: the overindulgence
accident at Christmas; the gardener’s back in March after a winter of
inactivity – most of these problems have an obvious cause an effect but there
is one problem that strikes every autumn … and nobody is quite sure why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">Ask a
chiropractor how they know when autumn has arrived and they will tell you it’s
the sudden influx of patients with ‘shoulder’ pain – instead of half-a-dozen
per week, suddenly it’s more than half a dozen every single day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">Theories as
to why range from the ‘cold wintery draught on warm skin’ to the effects of
rapidly changing day length on serotonin levels, though no theory has yet been
proved (it’s not a well-researched subject). What is, however, seems quite
clear from clinical experience is that most of these seasonal symptoms are not
shoulder pain at all!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

is across the top of your shoulder or between the shoulder blade and the spine,
then the chances are it’s coming from your ribs. Patients often look slightly
sceptical on being informed that their ‘shoulder’ pain is coming from their
costal joints (the joints between the ribs and the vertebrae) – “surely my ribs
are in my chest?” they say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, the
top rib actually joins with the base of the neck and acts as an anchor for some
of the big muscles that run up the side and back of the neck (which can often
feel as if they’ve been ‘pulled’ or ‘cricked’ if the underlying rib is injured).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can easily feel your top (first) rib, it’s
the bony lump you can feel at the base of your neck just behind your collar
bone … that’s how high they go.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

comparison, most pain that arises from the joints and muscle of the shoulder is
typically felt at the top of the arm. either whether the rotator muscle pass under the collar bone and attach to the arms or coming directly from the joint between the collar bone and shoulder blade or from the cartilage, ligaments and synovium of the ball and socket joint.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">The other
things patients often complain of is that – unlike ‘true’ shoulder injuries –
they’ve no idea how they’ve done it: it just “came on gradually”, or, more
commonly, they “woke up with it”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s
because the inflammation in the small joints between the ribs and the spine builds
up slowly over several hours, so its not the injury (often from lifting at
arm’s length) that hurts, it’s the body’s reaction hours later.</span></div>

you’ve got a intense ache across the top of your shoulder or feel there's a knife in your back just inside the shoulder blade, then you’re probably
suffering from costovertebral syndrome, colloquially known as a ‘popped rib’ …
and you may well be suffering: it can be one of the most painful of
conditions;<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>fortunately, it is also one
of the easiest and quickest for chiropractors to treat, with recovery often in
days. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

treat a lot of headaches, it’s a daily presentation and most patients are
chronic sufferers who have tried remedy after remedy and have formulated a
cocktail of pills, potions and routines to keep themselves functional.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">It is
sometimes hard to explain to someone who doesn’t suffer from headaches or
migraines what it’s like but try to imagine having a really bad hangover … only
without any of the preceding pleasure and with the knowledge that it isn’t
going to feel any better after coffee and aspirin, or indeed any time soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">But what
causes headaches? And how can chiropractors treat them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a><o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">The first
thing to realise is that a headache isn’t an illness, it’s a symptom –and it’s
a symptom that can have dozens of different causes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a clinician, one of the first jobs in
establishing a diagnosis is to rule out any sinister causes: tumours, vascular
problems and diseases such as temporal arteritis are rare but you can’t afford
to miss them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Fortunately,
most head pain is benign (even if it doesn’t feel like it!) and, if it is,
there is a surprisingly short list of the things that can be c</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ausing the pain
because most of what’s inside your skull isn't pain sensitive. In order to feel
pain, you need special nerves called ‘nociceptors’ – and the grey and white
matter that </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">make up your brain actually
don’t have any pain receptors, which is why brain surgeons just use local
anaesthetic (to numb the scalp), they can cut and scrape away at your actual brain
without you feeling it.</span><br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">So if the
brain isn’t the pain, what is? Well, there is one structure inside your skull
that isn’t just good at causing pain, it’s the most pain sensitive bit of your
body – the lining of the brain, called the dura (actually, it’s really three
structures but that’s just making thinks more complicated than they need to
be).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is what becomes inflamed in
meningitis – and to a lesser extent in flu – and, if you’ve ever had one
of those headaches, you’ll appreciate exactly what misery it can cause. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sheet of material that wraps around the inside of your skull also wraps around
the spinal cord as it descends through the vertebrae in your back – and it has
a particularly strong attachment to the inside of the top three vertebrae;
these attachments are know as the durovertebral ligaments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the vertebrae are twisted out of position
or otherwise dysfunctional, it can not only cause pain in the back of the head
but can also seemingly pull on the dural attachments at the front of the skull,
particularly across the forehead and behind the eyes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

stressed, our body language changes and our head position is much further
forwards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can easily double or even
treble the strain on your cervical spine – which is why this type of
headache tends to be dubbed a ‘stress’ headache.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

unfortunately, is not the only head pain that stress can cause. Trigger points
from the sub-occipital muscles – a small group of muscles that run between the
top two vertebrae and the base of the skull – can also develop painful
knots called ‘myofascial trigger points’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not only can these case pain in the back of the head, they also have a
classic referral pattern giving the tight band around the entire skull – a
‘tension headache’ … and there are half a dozen other muscles that can also
produce head pain, all with their own referral patterns.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

also quite strong evidence that a third type of headache – this time a
migraine, affecting just one side of the head – can be caused by upper
cervical spine joint dysfunction. The mechanism behind this is the subject of
some controversy, whether it is referral from an injured facet joint in one of
the top three vertebrae or a ‘trapped nerve’ (actually interference with the
nucleus of the nerve to the forehead and face); however, it seems clear that
the neck is the direct source of the problem, which is why these headaches are
known as ‘cervicogenic migraines’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

also condition in which a nerve genuinely does get trapped: greater occipital
neuralgia. This nerve has to pass between the top two vertebrae and supplies
the back of the skull, which is where it causes the headache (on one side only)
when it gets trapped.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it’s
almost entirely unresearched, I’ve never seen a ‘trapped’ great occipital nerve
that couldn’t be ‘untrapped’.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">So by now,
you’ve probably gathered that the top of the spine can cause a lot of … well …
headaches – and that stress can be a big trigger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not, however, just head position and
muscle tension that can cause dysfunction in this area – your teeth can
also do so! If you’re a clencher or a grinder (and you may be doing it at night
without even realising it), and your occlusion is unbalanced, then the
asymmetrical muscle tension can also cause rotational forces through the neck
and shoulders … and guess what that causes?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That’s right, the joint and muscle problems that we’ve just been talking
about (or dehydration!).</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">It took me
several years to work out why it was that not all of my headache patients got
better, even when I was sure I had got the diagnosis right, and several years
more to start working with an orthodontist and a psychotherapist to make sure
that those patients who had poor occlusions and/or were overly stressed could
get the joint management (pardon the pun) that they needed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">There is
one other form of headache that this collaboration has seemingly helped treat,
although once again the hard clinical ‘proof’ is lacking because nobody has
done the research – cluster migraines, also known as ‘suicide headaches’
because the pain and frequency of attacks can drive a person to that level of despair.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">I had a
vested interest in discovering as much as I could about these headaches as my
father-in-law had been a sufferer in the past and started getting attacks again
not long after I married his daughter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
read an interesting theory that the headaches were caused by temporalis muscle
spasm and the reason the pain was so bad was that the tendons of the muscles
insert no just into the temporal bone but into the sutures around the bone
where, in some people, they go deep enough to meet the dura mater, which also
runs up into the sutures from the inside … when the first starts putting
pressure on the second, it’s as if you were squeezing the body’s most sensitive
tissue in a vice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">The
solution was to deal with the cause of the spasm (a worn pain of ancient
dentures causing his bite to be ‘overclosed’) and release the muscles. One
happy father-in-law.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

about food intolerances,” I can hear readers scream, “Or hormones!” Pretty much
the only other pain sensitive structures in the brain are the blood vessels,
particularly the muscular wall of arteries, quite of few of which run within …
yes, the dura. Anything that causes pressure on the dura – such as the changing
diameter of an artery – can trigger pain, particularly if the dura is already
under tension from the external causes we’ve been discussing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-style: normal;">This fits
well with the concept many chiropractors use of a ‘physiological adaptive range’

final tip is pure common sense – you don’t wait for your car to break down or
your teeth to rot; if your back’s been hurting for more than a few weeks, or if
the pain keeps coming back see a chiropractor: managing back pain is how we

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
The morning consisted of a typical mix of patients: There were twelve cases of low back pain (including one new patient), one hip pain, one ankle injury (tennis), a couple more cases of cervicalgia, and a couple of headache, a child with poor gait, a cartilage injury in the knee, a rotator cuff tendinitis and a lady with temporomandibular disorder … and one no-show, which is always incredibly frustrating when you’re not only full but have people on the waiting list, desperate for appointments. Fortunately, everyone was getting better and staying better apart from one of the headache patients, who was referred to our next specialist Headache Clinic so the dental and stress components that were preventing the condition from settling could be addressed.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
As ever, when time is tight, the traffic on East Street is backed up to Mount Pleasant (someone build a bypass for Crewkerne PLEASE!!) and clinic starts seven minutes late! This, of course is the immediate cue for patients to be complicated, refactory, or to present with unexpected new conditions.</div>

The next three patients also all had sacroiliac joint problems; however, these were all recovering as per prognosis – improved after three treatments, better after six and two of the patients were ready to start some gentle home-based exercises to stretch out tight, fibrotic muscles and rebuild core stability.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
The next case is a tough one – a whiplash injury that has been referred via a solicitor having previously failed to recover. The delays involved in processing the claim has allowed the injury to become chronic and it’s not just neck pain, like a lot of whiplash there is also a jaw problem (which is preventing the neck from settling), back pain and a shoulder injury … all made worse by the stress of dealing with solicitors and the whole compensation process. Today, at last, there is some sign of improvement: everything is moving better and hurting less – but with so many areas to treat, there is no chance of catching up and now I’m running almost quarter of an hour late.There is, however, no point in worrying about that … most patients understand that sometimes you need to spend longer with a patient – next time, it could be them! </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal;">
Fortunately, the next lady in is a new patient: at last a chance to sit down for a few minutes and to take a case history. Fortunately too, her case is relatively straightforward: a long history of migraines, which sound like they’re coming from the neck with no evidence of anything sinister or untoward going on – the physical examination confirms the diagnosis and there’s time to start a course of treatment which turns out to solve fifteen years of weekly misery in just couple of weeks!</div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The rest of the evening is full of complicated patients: a knee riddled with osteoarthritis that would probably do better with surgery but the lady’s determined to avoid the kind at all costs; neck pain in an eighty-four-year old lady with osteoporosis who needs particularly careful handling; another case of low back pain following not one but two car accidents (the neck and jaw had already responded to treatment); a lady with back hip and knee pain; a cervical disc injury causing arm pain and, to finish the day, a disc problem which is stubbornly refusing to respond to treatment and needs referral for magnetic resonance imaging in Bridgwater, where we have a special arrangement … all of which means that clinic finishes fifteen minutes late – which is still quarter of an hour earlier than the rest of the week (for historical reasons, Tuesday’s Crewkerne clinic ends at 6:30 rather than 7).</span></div>

Home at 7pm having left at 7am. Although there is stuff to be done (when isn’t there?), the lure of an early night proves irresistible: tomorrow is going to be another early start with budgets, cashflow forecasts and marketing analysis all to do before another 36-patient day and a fresh brain will be required.</div>

is about seven years, even with regular turning, though a top of the range
model might last twice as long … and you won’t get one of these for under
£1,000. You might baulk at spending that much on a mattress but ask yourself
this: How much did you spend on your three-piece suite? – and how long do you
spend sitting on it compared with the amount of time you spend in your bed? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.0pt; font-style: normal;">One of the questions we’re asked
most often is ‘which pillow should I use?’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The problem is there’s no easy answer to this … trial and error tends to
lead to the best solution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
hundreds of ‘orthopaedic’ pillows on the market and the best way to tell if it
suits you is to use it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This can be
expensive, which is why we keep a stock of pillows for (non-smoking) patients
to try (smokers’ breath makes the pillow unusable after a fortnight’s
trial).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rule is that a pillow should
keep your neck in line with the rest of your spine – which will also
depend on how hard your mattress is – and remember goose down may well be
better than the most modern hi-tech materials.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

make all the difference. Your office chair should have adjustable height, tilt
and a sprung back; it should have arms that are level with the top of your
desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Typically such a chair will set
you back around £120 – and it costs even less to make sure your screen is
at the right height and that you’re using the right hardware: a trackball can
put so much less strain on your arms and shoulders than a mouse for half the
price of a chiropractic treatment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">Of all the
clinics of the year, the ones immediately after Christmas are the one that
stirs the most emotions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although we’re
used to a wide range of presenting complaints, the ones following the season of
festive brouhaha, are often the most bizarre but often reflect how a family’s
seasonal holiday was ruined by avoidable injury.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">Most
existing patients are rightly keen to prevent this, which is why the December
patient lists are groaning at the seams as people book for ore-Christmas
check-ups or finally resolve to fix the niggles that may have been mothering
them for days, all to be right for the Big Ho-ho-ho.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">• Don’t stress yourself
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Christmas is often a time that we
spend with people we feel we ought to rather than people we want to – and
emotional stress causes muscular tension far more often that it puts your blood
pressure up. Plan to be cheerful and polite but build in some solitude time so
the effort doesn’t have to be constant: anything from a soak in hot tub to testing
out the kids’ new headphones.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

do more at Christmas is be sedentary – be it standing for hours peeling
the sprouts or slumped on the sofa watching Downton Abbey. Prolonged standing
and sitting are both bad for the spine, so vary your position and take every
opportunity to move about, preferably before it starts to hurt!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">• When we do finally decide that
we’ve spent too long indoors, what do we do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Go out for an over-ambitious Boxing Day family ramble with no thought as
to how far each member of the group might be able to walk comfortably, and
often we chose places that are guaranteed to cause backache: walking on broken
surfaces such as shingle beaches or through thick mud will often trigger low
back problems – the key rule: little and often beats seldom and long!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

includes a tipple … or three.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But if you
don’t want it to lead to injury, then DO mix your drinks: intersperse an
alcoholic drink with a soft one, and put a glass of mineral water next to your
wine on the dining table (as all #5steppers know).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alcohol induced injuries include falling
asleep in awkward positions, muscular dehydration and falls.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; font-style: normal;">• The final danger – and
one that often strains the physician’s straight-face – is the
over-exuberant unaccustomed activity. Every year we see uncles who thought they
could beat their niece at Twister; Wii-induced Granny pains from the
expectation that they could play living-room tennis in the same way as they did
the real thing half a century ago; pulls, twists and sprains from
over-ambitious romance gone wrong (you don’t have to lift someone off their
feet to kiss them under the mistletoe) and no Dad should be allowed to dance
after more than 5 units of alcohol (if at all).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

What does a chiropractor do?</div>

That’s a question I often get asked – even people who’ve been through a course of treatment only get a snapshot of a typical clinical day as it relates to their presenting condition … and life as a chiropractor can involve so much more than just turning up and treating patients.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

As anyone with an eight-year-old will know, Sunday usually begins several hours before dawn as they wake up a good two hours earlier than on weekdays and sneak in to make sure you’re enjoying your lie in.</div>

There is then the after breakfast (bacon, sausage and black pudding butties – #5stepping is about moderation in all things including moderation) dash to some remote corner of Somerset to collect whichever teenager needs extracting from sleeping over after a play/match/concert/party in time for coffee at Granny and Grandad’s.</div>

The answer is I don’t know – we’re now only in the same clinic at the same time once a week, and she spends her time in her treatment room from 9 till 7, whilst I’m in mine for the same period: if we need a meeting, we have to schedule it … or we get a chance to chat over coffee in between grandchildren and crosswords on a Sunday morning.</div>

Sunday afternoon is dilemma time: family first as it’s our only day together<span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;"> </span>– but there’s also gardening (once a whole family activity but no more) and those little bits of work that you didn’t get done during the week and which you feel guilty for doing and guilty for not having done.</div>

When it comes to feet there is a medical truism: we all take
them completely for granted – until they start to go wrong!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Complaints about foot and ankle pain are a daily
presentation to any chiropractic clinic; particularly so at Yeovil Chiropractic
Clinic, where we normally have a podiatrist (foot specialist) working alongside us (get well soon, Robin!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

underlying causes can often be complex – did you know that a quarter of all the
bones in your body are in your foot?To
make matters worse, foot problems aren’t just caused by feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They can also be the result of knee, hip and
low back dysfunction and it’s important that any treatment takes this holistic approach.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
Of the dozens of possible diagnoses, which can include
congenital variants, neuromas, stress fractures, arthropathies, sprains,
strains, bursitis, tendinopthies and fat pad pathologies we, in this country,
appear to have a fixation with one condition – plantar fasciitis (pronounced
‘fash-ee-eye-tis’).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course plenty of people do present with plantar fasciitis
– it’s a common condition in middle and old age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s caused by inflammation in the soft
tissues that make up the arch of the foot – so if your pain isn’t in that area,
it isn’t plantar fasciitis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The onset is
usually quite sudden and associated with an obvious cause (change in footwear,
walking barefoot, trekking across cobbled streets) and treatment should comprise
two elements: symptom relief and determining the reason for the dysfunction and
not just the cause of the onset – are the bones of the foot aligned properly?
Are the muscles working properly? Is there damage to the ligaments? Are the
legs functioning in a balanced and symmetrical manner? Are the nerves that
control the feet working as they ought?<o:p></o:p></div>

usually involves drugs to control the inflammation and advice about footwear
(Crocks are our top tip) but if you want the treatment to be as effective as
possible and minimise the chances of it coming back you need to ask the basic
question: ‘why have I got this problem?’<o:p></o:p></div>

…and if you feet aren’t giving you any grief, perhaps you
should ask yourself ‘what can I do to keep it that way?’ – like many
musculoskeletal conditions, the signs are normally there for the expert eye to
detect before things actually start hurting: so are you taking your feet for
granted?<o:p></o:p></div>

things to different people. To most, it means your joints have got a bit of
wear and tear in them; to a specialist such as a rheumatologist or chiropractor,
arthritis refers to a very specific group of much rarer inflammatory diseases
of which rheumatoid arthritis and anklylosing spondylitis are probably the best
known. Wear and tear – often referred to as ‘osteoarthritis’ – is a completely
different disease process, which is why specialists prefer the term
‘degenerative joint disease’, or DJD for short.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So do you have DJD?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you’re over 50, then the answer is almost certainly “yes” – most
commonly, it affects the joints that we use the most (thumbs, toes, backs and
necks) or the ones that bear the most weight (hips and knees), particularly if
you’re carrying extra poundage!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if
you’ve got some swelling or stiffness in those joints, can you do anything
about it?<o:p></o:p></div>

For most of us, the good news is that pain in a joint with mild
to moderate DJD is not, in my experience, a sentence to a lifetime on
painkillers. Much like wear in a car tyre, it’s not just the annual mileage; whether
the wheels are properly tracked is equally important. Similarly, the thing that
often causes DJD to develop is not overuse but chronic dysfunction … and it is
often the dysfunction that is actually causing the pain: get the joint working
normally, and the pain goes away. <o:p></o:p></div>

back pain was caused by spondylitis (DJD in the spine) and that there was
nothing to be done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a 30-year
history of a grumbling back, and an x-ray had shown some wear in the joints and
discs at the base of his spine; however, examination revealed that his spine
and pelvis had been twisted since picking up a heavy bag of compost in the
1970s and, once the joints had been put back to normal, the pain went
away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Twelve years later, David still
has the occasional chiropractic MOT, his back pain hasn’t come back … and the
arthritis hasn’t progressed.<o:p></o:p></div>

suggests that the huge increase in the average weight of the UK's population is due
to precisely that… we are, fuelled by convenience, increasingly champing our way through the heavily promoted products of the ‘food industry’ which are all too often laced with the addictive sweetening agents and fats that are not only guaranteed to make you put on weight, but to make sure that you to keep coming back for more.</div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">More than half of us are unhealthily overweight – still slightly
behind the Americans, but only just – and it’s not just adults: the rise in
morbid obesity in children is particularly scary as fat children are actually developing more fat cells rather than doing what adults do, which is simply overfilling the ones they already have. This makes it incredibly
difficult for them to lose weight without existing in a state of semi-starvation … for life.</span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">Part of #5stepping is to make sure you don’t eat the wrong food …
and then to </span></span>kick on and make sure your diet is laced with the ‘superfoods’ that
can add to your health: it doesn’t mean you can’t ever eat a Big Mac again but,
in the same way that cutting out some of the caffeine and alcohol helps reduce
toxins and empty calories, putting in place good food habits can benefit you
and all those around you – and those habits begin on the high street or more
probably the out of town hypermarket because, the way we shop has changed
beyond all recognition. In a single
generation, supermarkets have replaced individual high street shops; you can now
buy what used to be seasonal fruit and vegetables twelve months a year; and
exotic, occasional treats have become weekly staples.<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;"></span></span></div>

no longer stays at home to cook and clean, she works too … and then comes home
to cook and clean!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sex equality has come
a long way since the 1970s but rather than both parents cooking, all too often
neither parent cooks and this is having an impact on the nutritional wellbeing
of our children who will be the first generation since the industrial
revolution who have an average life expectancy that is less than their parents.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">Fifty years ago, convenience food was baked beans on toast (pretty
healthy in a number of ways) and takeaways were Fish and Chips on Fridays.
Microwave ovens hadn’t been invented and, on most days, the family sat down
together at the table to eat a meal that had been cooked from scratch using
local, seasonal ingredients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were
almost no artificial sweeteners and no pre-packaged meals. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">It is ironic that, in an era when cookery programmes dominate the
airwaves and cookery books the best-seller lists, cooking at home all too often
involves popping a ready meal in the microwave and eating it in front of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Masterchef.</i></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">So, the next step that #5steppers need to take is to shop for
ingredients rather than for meals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Buy a
basic cookbook and buy locally sourced meat and seasonal vegetables (both are
ethically, environmentally and probably medically better for you).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>List out your meals for the week, source your
ingredients and buy them; if you’re pressed for time on a Wednesday, cook a
double batch on Saturday and freeze the surplus … then you can use the
microwave to defrost a meal whose provenance and contents are known to you in
detail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK2;">No emulsifiers, no e-numbers, no preservatives, no artificial
sweeteners, no colouring, just good food, which is a healthy as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">you </i>want to make it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food just like Gran used to buy and cook …
and Gran knew a thing or two about budgeting: ingredients cost a lot less than
meals that have been prepared for you – so proper, old-fashioned shopping is a

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Have you ever had a shoulder joint that’s painful and
restricted? The chances are you probably
thought it was a ‘frozen shoulder’ – and the chances are you were probably
wrong!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RKZueQWWjA38Gw67799Ir9ZS7MHy9yatghU0GIMJk1eiSqg2gvlUl62LlvRVY5X3bOKbfrxBTr8hZoQ44lNJHs6WWvlppXGnj9E-Bk0KDq0FZzYhJ_MuYd91JmlyZZQ7v_fSmPwDbtHZ/s1600/shoulder+pain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RKZueQWWjA38Gw67799Ir9ZS7MHy9yatghU0GIMJk1eiSqg2gvlUl62LlvRVY5X3bOKbfrxBTr8hZoQ44lNJHs6WWvlppXGnj9E-Bk0KDq0FZzYhJ_MuYd91JmlyZZQ7v_fSmPwDbtHZ/s320/shoulder+pain.jpg" width="320" /></a>As with some of the previous terms we’ve discussed, such as sciatica and migraines, the problem lies in part with the
difference between what <i>you</i> might mean by ‘frozen shoulder’ (it hurts and I
can’t move it properly) and what a musculoskeletal specialist means by ‘frozen
shoulder’ (very specifically, adhesive capsulitis) … and differentiating
between the two is very important as they can have very different treatments
and outcomes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The shoulder is the most complicated joint in the body – in
fact, it’s not one joint at all, it’s three joints plus the articulation
between the shoulder blade and the top seven ribs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it’s going to work properly, there are
over 100 joints, muscles, ligaments and bursae that have to we working normally
and integrate smoothly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fortunately,
of all the things that can go wrong, frozen shoulder (or adhesive capsulitis as
we should call it from now on) is one of the less common.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
So have you got adhesive capsulitis, or is it something else
causing your shoulder pain?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of
all, if you’re under 50 years old, it’s highly unlikely you’ve got adhesive
capsulitis unless you have other health problems such as diabetes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re over 50, there’s a simple test you
can do: take off your shirt and lift your arms up sideways as far as they will
go (which probably won’t be that far). If your shoulder blades swings out more
quickly on the affected side, it could well be adhesive capsulitis … but,
unfortunately, that won’t be all that’s wrong with your shoulder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although the mechanism that causes bits of the shoulder joint
capsule to stick to other bits (adhesions) is complicated and poorly
understood, it is almost invariably the case that it is triggered by something
else going wrong with the shoulder, either one of those common conditions
(tendinitis, impingement, bursitis etc) or by trauma such as a fall or particularly after a broken arm when the shoulder (and the rest of the upper limb) has been immobilised in a splint.</div>

condition that chiropractors see every week, and their techniques are
clinically proven to help restore mobility and reduce pain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although, in skilled hands, steroid
injections can often produce rapid relief, twenty years clinic experience has
taught me this: if you haven’t got rid of the underlying condition that
triggered the condition, it will rapidly return.<o:p></o:p></div>

A true ‘frozen shoulder’ is a disabling condition that can
rapidly become entrenched and chromic so, if you’re in the risk groups for
adhesive capsulitis, my advice is to seek rapid care from a musculoskeletal
specialist as soon as possible for any shoulder conditions that arise, no
matter how innocuous they may seem initially – an ounce of prevention can be
worth months of cure!<o:p></o:p></div>

more water, walk a little more; drink less caffeine and alcohol, sit a little
less … but then that’s the whole point of #5stepping: it isn’t meant to be
hard, it’s all about those little incremental changes that stack up to make a
big difference.</div>

The third step you can take to make your life healthier is
even easier … it involves doing absolutely nothing, and doing it for at least
seven-and-a-half hours a day!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s the minimum amount of sleep the average person needs
to stay healthy yet more than half of us aren’t getting more than around six
hours per night – and not enough zeds doesn’t just make you feel a bit slower,
it could kill you!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The amount of sleep we need changes through life: and it’s
not just adults that are getting less than they need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Children need around 11-12 hours sleep at
pre-school age and teenagers 9-10 hours per night but the numbers getting
enough rest is falling year on year.</div>

The most obvious immediate effects of a late night are
feeling slower and lacking concentration, which isn’t a good think if your
first act of the day after downing a shot of restorative caffeine is to jump
behind the wheel of a car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A quarter of
all road traffic accidents are attributed to lack of adequate sleep, not
surprising when you consider that people who have been awake for 19 hours score
worse on functional tests that those over the legal limit for alcohol!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are other ways lack of sleep can cut short your life:
people who get less than six-and-a half hours sleep a night are 50% more likely
to be overweight than those getting the full eight hours. There is also a much
higher chance of developing type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease; delayed
healing from illness or injury and clinical depression.</div>

Fortunately, if you’re a #5stepper, you’ll already have
taken two giant strides towards improving both the quality and quantity of your
sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alcohol reduces the quality of
sleep and caffeine the quantity – water doesn’t (though two pints of H20
immediately before retiring is likely to cause a 3am dash to the loo). Physical
exercise, such as walking, also helps counter insomnia. And if you’ve noticed
that more exercise and fewer empty calories is starting to push your weight in
the right direction, then bear in mind that a healthy body-mass index massively
reduces the risk of sleep apnoea, a potentially lethal condition that can leave
sufferers exhausted even after a full night’s sleep.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, if you want to improve your vitality, boost your
concentration, improve your health and even pep-up your sex drive, here are my
top tips.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">• Routine is
everything.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
It doesn’t matter if you’re nine
months or ninety years, go to bed and get up at the same time every day…
including weekends!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll feel a lot
better and get much more done.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">• If you can’t
get the full eight hours at night, have a siesta<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
An hour’s sleep in the afternoon
every day means you need less at night: it works a treat in Southern Europe and
the evidence shows it’s actually better for you!<o:p></o:p></div>

devices from the bedroom.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
Televisions, smart pones, tablets
and PCs should stay downstairs and be switched off a least 45 minutes before
you want to go to sleep. Remember books? 30 minutes reading (of something not
too harrowing).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">• Be cool!<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
A bedroom needs to be ventilated,
to avoid build-up of carbon dioxide and should be around 17-19ºC. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">• Do not
disturb.<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
You need dark (blackout curtains)
and quiet (secondary glazing or ear plugs) to sleep well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<br /></div>

I am, by the way, writing this whilst waiting for my first patient of Friday afternoon to arrive – predictably, the combination of POETS afternoon, school pickups and the genius decision to combine closing Hendford Hill and Brunswick Street with resurfacing work to the A30 (White Post area, start of the week) and A37 (Red House area, right now) means that the town has reached meltdown and is gridlocked.</div>

Name me one "improvement" that has actually helped Yeovil's traffic. Every "improvement" I can think of has cost millions, caused weeks or, more usually, months of disruption and made no difference. Add this money to the £3.5M wasted on moving the Reckleford bottleneck 70 yards further up the road and you can't help but think of whether £17.5M couldn't have built some if not all of a proper bypass.</div>

How much do you want to bet that: a) This is a guess; b) That it turns out to be wildly over-optimistic; c) that "journey times" includes cyclists and pedestrians at whom all the "improvements" seemed to be aimed despite the fact they can usually travel faster that traffic. There is also the phraseology to consider ……"than if they weren't implemented" – ie, Yeovil is going to gridlock when they build thousands of extra houses that nobody wants but maybe it won't gridlock quite as much if we do this and at least you won't be able to say we didn't do anything. Or maybe they're just getting us used to sitting in unmoving traffic as preparation.</div>

The Americans of course have a word for it; unfortunately, it’s a rude word so I’ll allude to it directly only the once: ‘Clusterf*ck’ (herefter emphasised to ‘CF’). </div>

So what is a CF? I’m so glad you asked: a CF is where you do something really, really stupid and rather than say ‘that was a bit daft’, you try to fix the problem … which makes it worse. Then, through a dogged mixture of pride, stubbornness and sheer bloody stupidity, you try to fix that problem too … which makes things even worse but by now there’s no going back so you carry on and by this time usually your house has been burned to the ground, your business bankrupted or, in the case of Yeovil, the traffic gridlocked to the point where everyone goes to do their shopping in Sherborne or Dorchester.</div>

Since then, the traffic department (now conveniently situated out of town and staffed by people who don’t actually have to drive in Yeovil), have been convinced that they are just one simple fix away from solving the problem: a new set of traffic lights, a one way system, a mini-roundabout – this, ladies and gentlemen, is a CF: so much so, that it is now, I am reliably informed, highlighted at at least one American University as the classic example of CF in town planning.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
The latest futile attempt consists of three months of blocking both western approaches to our clinic (and pretty much the whole of Yeovil) in order to put some traffic lights on a roundabout. As a daily commuter down Hendford Hill, I agree the system does’t work – particularly during school time when the queues are three times as long. Anyone who drives in Yeovil could tell you that … which is why the Taunton-based County Council decided to start the work on the LAST day of the Summer Holidays!</div>

Having driven past yesterday evening, it was nice to see that, after four days, they’d managed to break up some tarmac. Nobody was working of course; the idea of overtime during the daylit evenings or weekend working to speed through the paralysis of the town not having occurred to anyone who doesn’t actually have to come to Yeovil: it is, after all, only the A30. </div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
I presume the tarmac-breaking is to do with the ‘improvements for cyclists and pedestrians’, which seems a bit unfair, as I’m regularly overtaken by both as I crawl down The Hill of a morning, suggesting that they don’t really need further speeding up. For those of you who are beggared into disbelief that putting up some traffic lights could involve closing the major way into Yeovil for quarter of the year, you will need to recall that this is from the people who, four years ago, spent over £3 million and ground the A30 to gridlock for five months in order to move the bottleneck at Reckleford 70 yards further down the road.</div>

It took 23 minutes and was twice as long as it could have been down the A30, but that’s probably as much time as I would have spent just sitting on Preston Road or Lysander way, being overtaken by pedestrians, who would also greatly benefit from not having to breath in the fumes from A30 through-traffic, which needs to be taken out of the town. So, next election, vote of a councillor who wants a bypass and promises not to waste yet more millions on CF schemes which F-up clinic schedules, businesses, retailers and make F-all difference to traffic flow.</div>

The gardening season has started and, all over Britain,
hundreds of chiropractors are rubbing their hands in glee as thousands of gardeners
beat a hasty path to their doors to remove the pain from their shoulders, the
ache from their backs and the cricks in their necks… but it needn’t be like
that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a myth that things need to hurt after a day in the
garden, so accepted by gardeners and physicians alike that nobody bothers to do
anything about it other than suffer in silence, reach for the pain killers or
give up gardening – which is a shame because gardening is not just good for the
soul but can be an excellence source of exercise, fresh air and sunlight, if
done right.</div>

tricks to take the groan out of gardening without spending a fortune on
equipment or hired help – in fact, the only equipment you need for the coming
weekend is a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The trouble with most gardeners in they like to get straight
to work and beaver away methodically at a task until it is finished, then stand
back and admire their handiwork before hobbling on to the next job muttering
about their backs aching from three hours bent double.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To avoid this, draw three columns on your paper: each column
represents a 20 minutes slot, each line an hour. Work out what you need to do
over the day and break the tasks into manageable chunks, then set an alarm on
your watch or phone and stop when it goes off – the weeds won’t go away,
they’ll wait until the afternoon… and don’t forget, if you’re #5stepping (and
all gardeners should be) to programme in time for a couple of short walks and a
drink or two.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you avoid prolonged stress on your joints, muscles and
ligaments, the simple truth is that they won’t hurt you and, at the end of the
weekend, you can still stand back and admire everything you’ve achieved –

Sciatic pain is a common presentation to any chiropractic
clinic and one of the commonest complications of low back pain… but, for every
ten patients who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">think</i> they have
sciatica, probably only two or three actually <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">do</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Part of the problem is that sciatica is used in everyday
terms to describe pretty much any pain that runs down the leg; however, to a back
specialist, such as a chiropractor, it refers very specifically to pain that
arises from the sciatic nerve or its branches and it has a very specific
pattern of distribution: down the buttock and the back of the thigh, often into
the back of the calf and the sole of the foot. If it’s down the side or the
front of your leg, then it’s not sciatica – but don’t worry, a
chiropractor can probably tell you what it is !<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if it is running down the back of your leg, sciatica still
isn’t a definite diagnosis as sciatica isn’t<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">
</i>the only thing that can cause pain in the back of your leg. Identical
symptoms can arise from the ligaments, joints, muscles and bones in your spine
or buttock – in much the same way that pain from the heart refers to your left
arm in angina.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even if it is really sciatica, this is only a symptom – it
is important to work out which of the dozens of possible causes is responsible
for the pressure on the sciatic nerve, from benign causes such as tightness in
surrounding muscles; through bulging or ‘slipped’ discs; to more sinister, less
common causes, which require urgent investigation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Detailed orthopaedic and neurological testing
can often pin point the site and nature of the fault; x-rays or magnetic
resonance imaging can help confirm the diagnosis: chiropractors spend years
learning how to interpret <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all</i> of the
evidence in order to arrive at a precise diagnosis (most middle-aged people
have bulges in their discs; it doesn’t means that they’re necessarily the cause
of the leg pain).<o:p></o:p></div>

One of our patients (Dave) had suffered from worsening bouts
of Sciatica for three years when he visited the clinic, “I was told that I
would eventually need an operation,” he said, “but after 30 minutes of
examination and testing, my chiropractor pinned the cause to a problem in my
pelvis and put it right with a handful of treatments over a couple of weeks.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Once upon a time when, if you wanted to get somewhere,
walking was most likely the only option.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As hunter-gatherers, most days would have probably involved walking ten
to twelve miles, presumably with days off if a mammoth had been bagged
recently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then someone invented the
wheel, domesticated oxen to pull them, bred horses to pull them faster and
discovered how crude oil could be refined to make them go with a bang.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These days, few people even manage ten miles
per <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">week</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>

<a name='more'></a>One of the commonest questions from our patients recovering
from low back pain is ‘are there any exercises I should do’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because low back pain is a symptom with many
possible causes, there is, of course, no such thing as a ‘low back pain
exercise’; however, for the commonest forms of low back pain, sitting is often
aggravating and moderate walking on firm surfaces can be very beneficial.<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
This is why our clinics have all been promoting <a href="http://twitter.com/getGBstanding">@getGBsta</a><span style="color: #0d0d0d; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><a href="http://twitter.com/getGBstanding">nding</a> – check out

there’s a great calculator there, which shows you how many hours a day you’re
sitting and a huge section on the health risks of sitting more than four hours
per day… and I bet you do!!</span><span style="color: #0d0d0d; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-themetint: 242;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

For people who <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">don’t</i>
have back pain, walking five miles a day, can be a very good way of ensuring
you stay that way – it is also helpful for your weight, heart, lungs,
metabolism, digestion, joints and bones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
So, given the ease with which it can be done and the
multiple benefits, why does the average adult walk only a tenth of that … just
half a mile per day?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The answer is largely lifestyle driven, with ‘driven’ being
the operative word: we drive to work, we drive to the shops, we sit at
computers all day, and then we drive back home in the evening (unless we’re
going out, in which case we drive there). <o:p></o:p></div>

Another very good reason to drink water is that it’s the
world’s best diet drink … it has ZERO calories!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4UprOqWHpNJag8cfioSNeyI1WyMHnp7x4yFDg_0WXFAiAqCQT3dtp3flLKBMkYwCLqBrKRCg9NPOVW0XwduRY0-e3d8HRR2q63s2HAldXbR8Uz-diwSKlipptaJZw7eJABC49ZSmILji/s1600/water+from+tap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ4UprOqWHpNJag8cfioSNeyI1WyMHnp7x4yFDg_0WXFAiAqCQT3dtp3flLKBMkYwCLqBrKRCg9NPOVW0XwduRY0-e3d8HRR2q63s2HAldXbR8Uz-diwSKlipptaJZw7eJABC49ZSmILji/s1600/water+from+tap.jpg" height="320" width="212" /></a>By comparison, the typical ‘2 unit’ alcoholic drink contains
between 200 and 300 calories, and a bottle of cola or an energy drink over 300
– and what’s worse, they’re ‘empty’ calories, devoid of any nutritional value.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, if you’re #5stepping (and, if you’re not, you should
be), you’ll see why replacing one alcoholic and one caffeinated drink per day
is going to help you lose weight – to put it into perspective, 500 calories a
day is ONE-THIRD of the average daily requirement for most adults, it’s the
equivalent of two Mars Bars, it’s 3,500 calories a week, it the equivalent of a
whole meal, it’s 182,000 calories a year!<o:p></o:p></div>

Who needs to diet if you’re #5stepping? </div>

It’s not just your general health and your waistline that’ll
benefit – you could save yourself some serious money too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A glass of water needn’t cost you a penny extra if it comes
out of a tap; by comparison, a cola is around £1; a coffee shop cappuccino, £2.50; a typical
glass of something cheering about the same (assuming you’re drinking at home). Start #5stepping and you’re not going to lose money, start #5stepping and you
could easily save yourself between £1.50 and £5 every day of the year.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could you do with an extra £550 a year, because that’s the
equivalent of one home brewed cuppa and a glass of plonk a day?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you imbibe your poisons whilst you're out and
about, then the two drinks you’ll be giving up amount to well over £2,000 every
year of your hard-earned, heavily taxed income – you could either work a lot
less or holiday a lot more for that sort of money, and enjoy better health at
the same time.<o:p></o:p></div>

The average adult is made up of
about 40 litres of water – that’s 60% of your body mass. Lose as little as half a litre, and symptoms
start appearing; by the time you’ve lost a litre, <span lang="EN-US">you’ll be suffering
from impaired cognitive function, reduced physical performance, headaches and
symptoms of fatigue.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">In the long-term, there is evidence to suggest that chronic mild
dehydration is associated with increased risk of a number of conditions,
including constipation, urinary tract infections, hypertension (high blood
pressure), coronary heart disease (CHD) and strokes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b>But you won’t get dehydrated in Winter because it’s cold … WRONG!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It’s actually easier to become dehydrated in winter. In summer, it’s hot (well, sometimes) and you
sweat, both of which trigger thirst – which makes to want to drink.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In winter, neither of those things happen; however, when you go out in the
cold, your body withdraws blood from your extremities in order to preserve
heat, which is why your fingers and toes get cold so easily (they have a large
surface to volume ratio and are therefore very good a radiating heat). Suddenly, you have the same amount of blood
occupying much less space so the kidney’s kick in and deposit the excess in
your bladder (otherwise your blood pressure would rocket)… this is why going
out in the cold an trigger the desire to wee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>So far, so good. Now what happens
when you come in from the cold?</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The blood returns to your extremities – except suddenly there isn’t enough
to go round… and you can’t get it back from your bladder, even assuming it’s
still there!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">…And bingo, you’re dehydrated but not necessarily feeling thirsty – and
even if you are feeling thirsty, it’s cold outside so the tendency is to go for
a nice warming cup of tea or coffee (both of which are diuretics) or even have
a nip of something slightly harder (which will dilate your blood vessels even
more).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Which is why step one of the #5stepping will help you stay healthy in
winter and summer, just replace one caffeinated and one alcoholic drink per day
with a half-pint glass of water – there’s your 1% and what you don’t need,
your kidneys will dispose of!</span><o:p></o:p></div>
