Colin Budich on the benefits of Chiropractic and Massage Therapy

At the Carlton Health Group, many patients seek chiropractic care or massage therapy to relieve or prevent pain and limited mobility.. These two complementary therapies, especially in combination, form a powerful healing approach to relieve pain and increase your body’s mobility and resilience. Over time, they offer a uniquely effective way to support your ongoing vitality and well-being.

Both massage and chiropractic offer preventive care to support your ongoing good health. A timely visit to chiropractors Colin Budich or Greg Hines can establish normal alignment and mobility before secondary soft tissue problems develop.

Regular massage with masseur Raymond Martin can release chronically contracted muscles and fascia, improving the balance among muscle groups and promote healthful circulation. Your body will be more resilient in the face of daily stresses, less prone to pain and injury. Because chiropractic and massage help relieve pain and improve mobility, you may sleep better and feel more energetic.

Dial ‘P’ for pain

Forget tennis – the biggest cause of elbow pain could be your mobile phone.

Orthopaedic surgeons are reporting a new condition dubbed ‘mobile phone elbow’. People who hold their mobile phones to their ears for extended periods can over extend a nerve, causing pain. 

The condition is called ‘cubital tunnel syndrome’, and symptoms include hand weakness and difficulty typing, writing or using instruments.

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr Leon Benson said it was caused by overstretching the ulnar nerve, which controls the ring and little finger.

‘The more you bend it, for example when using a phone, the more it stretches,’ said Dr Benson, from the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. ‘It diminishes the blood supply and the blood is not flowing through the nerves.’

Facts about sleep you didn’t know …or were too tired to think about

*Some studies suggest women need up to an hour’s extra sleep a night compared to men, and not getting it may be one reason women are much more susceptible to depression than men.

*Anything less than five minutes to fall asleep at night means you’re sleep deprived. The ideal is between 10 and 15 minutes, meaning you’re still tired enough to sleep deeply, but not so exhausted you feel sleepy by day.
