Back Pain, Neck Pain - It Is Time For A New Approach
Dorn Spinal Therapy offers a new treatment approach for relieving back and neck pain. It is gentle, safe but effective and easy to learn. Simple exercises make sure your back pain stays away and you find back to your normal life.
Back Pain – Neck Pain, it is time for a new approach.
How many people have said that they have a sore back and/or neck? How many people have said they have tried everything and nothing really helped? Well there is a lot of them and there is also a lot of people with constant back pain and they have been told they just had to live with it. To take some painkillers when it is too much and otherwise just feel lucky that it is “only” back pain they have to put up with.
I have seen quite a few of those people and a lot of them have been able to pack their painkillers away and live pain free although they thought they never would thanks to the new approach I am taking towards back and neck pain.
So what is that new approach that is becoming more and more known in Australia?
The treatment is called “Dorn Spinal Therapy” and is coming from Germany where it is rapidly gaining more and more recognition amongst the medical professionals – alternative and traditional – and where there is a growing number of ex back pain sufferers as they were curious enough to give this treatment a go.
What is different? The whole approach. A Dorn Spinal therapist works with the client meaning with their cooperation. There is no cracking or maipulation involved, no drugs, cremes or similar and no lengthy treatment regimes that cost you more than an arm and a leg.
The first problem that is looked at is a possible difference in leg length. 85% of people have it and most of them, as a result of that imbalance, have some sort of discomfort in their back as the whole skeletal system is not in balance any more. But most of them also don’t know about their legs as no one ever has told them. The balancing of the leg length is a simple exercise and it only takes a few seconds per day to keep this exercise up and therefor remain in balance.
The next step is a look at the pelvic area to see if there is any twist which most often is the case if there was a leg length difference. By working with thumb pressure and the client swinging one leg the pelvis gets moved back into balance again.
Then we slowly check the spine for any deviations, again using the thumbs moving up along the spine. Any deviation is going to be worked on again with the pressure of the thumb and the client’s supportive movement. The whole spine can be corrected that way and there is no need for violence, cracking or other jerky movements as the body itself is involved in the correction. Once the spine is corrected the body receives a nurturing spinal stretch massage with St. John’s Wort oil to help the spine adapt even better, and to allow the client to have some rest after the treatment before rushing back into the same old lifestyle.
Along with the actual work come some simple but effective and easy to remember exercises as well as some lifestyle advice in regards of maintaining a better back and prevent further aggravation. The number of treatments necessary vary from case to case but the average is 3 treatments over a time period of 4 weeks. Recommendation is to have a check up every 6 months to make sure everything is staying in alignment, respectively picking up aggravating processes early enough.
This simple but effective treatment is now available around Australia, mainly in the major cities, but Barbara Simon is running workshops to widen the accessibility for potential clients as well as for practitioners. It means an easy to learn skill that can add to the effectiveness of anyone working in body works: Massage therapists, Bowen therapists, bodyworkers, Naturopaths, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Physios etc.
