We currently assist more clients around the world than we do within our highly successful and busy practice. Geography is no longer a limiting factor.
While expert 'hands on' care can be obtained in the practice, we are able to develop strategies to support our clients in their journey to better health - No matter Where You are.
Back Pain - Neck Pain - Spinal Related Disorders.
Back pain. If you are an adult you will probably have had back pain, will get back pain - or are in pain right now.
Indeed 80 to 90% of the adult population gets back, neck or spinal pains.
But is back pain a shortage of Nurofen or Voltaren?
Obviously not. Then why do we treat it that way?
If spinal pain is the warning light that something is wrong, why do we go for years with the warning light flashing at us? We certainly would not do that to our car.
If the spine is the most important organ we possess (we can't live without it), and so many are debilitated by their spinal pain and the impact it has on the nervous system - why isn't the spine treated with the respect it deserves?
For the average GP, spinal pain is considered 'self limiting' and merely a shortage of anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxants.
If you have pain for too long then you must have 'arthritis', 'chronic pain syndrome', 'fibromyalgia', 'poly-rheumatica' or 'poly-myalgia'. Which is generally code for 'I am not sure what is really causing your pain - but here are some drugs anyway'.
If X-rays are taken, they are usually done lying down. But last time I checked you don't walk around lying down. Certainly no functional loading X-rays are ordered and no biomechanical assessment is performed.
We now have chiropractors, osteopaths and manipulative physiotherapists endlessly 'cracking the sore bits'. Others just 'crack and hope' without an adequate diagnosis and usually without X-rays or MRI.
Physiotherapists are telling patients if they just do some exercises every thing will be OK.
Usually the 'diagnosis' is what the GP tells the physiotherapist to do based on incorrect X-rays and an incomplete biomechanical, neurological, nutritional and functional analysis.
The point is, that if it just came down to a few exercises, then no athlete would ever get back pain. But they do.
What about the impact of diet and lifestyle?
What about managing ALL the inflammatory changes within the body - not just the ones in the spine?
Much of the health care industry is focused on treating symptoms
rather than investigating underlying causes and the effect of our
genetics and diet on disease.
How Can We Help You?
The Spinal Centre's mission is to improve health worldwide by
providing the Best Natural Medicines, Health Products, Integrative Medicine and Nutritional Solutions to Free You of Back Pain and Spinal Disability.
Spinal Centre clients can access a large number of powerful resources to improve their spinal health both in the practice and online.
Each person is different so this is why we have such an extensive range of health resources available.
We can guide you through the decision process or you may like to start with The Spinal Centre Online Initial Consultation.
The resources, listed below, are some of the more common tools used by clients to achieve better health.
1. Obtain an Insight to Your Book of Life
Map your DNA so that you may understand your own genetic information and risk factors for disease including spinal pains and arthritic conditions.
If some of the members of your family had developed Dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and you had the genetic profile that predisposed you to the same conditions would you want to do some thing about it?
If members of your family had developed arthritic conditions or neurological problems would you like the opportunity to do something to make a difference?
Would you like to know whether the genes responsible for serious illness in your family had been passed on to you?
If you where predisposed to a particular condition, would you like to have the ability to make changes to reduce the risk or even avoid it happening to you?
If so, then the Spinal Centre Genetic Test may be for you.
2. Establish a Health Baseline
As a client of the Spinal Centre we will provide access to the best
metabolic, toxicant, food allergy, food additive, and nutritional
testing currently available to assess your health.
For those attending the practice with spinal related conditions we provide comprehensive functional loading Radiographs (X-rays), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Surface Electromyography (SEMG) to obtain a specific diagnosis.
All clients (both online and within the practice) have access to exclusive Integrative Medicine Testing which include:
- Baseline Nutritional Testing;
the best place to start for a personalised assessment of your
functional nutrient needs. It answers the question - "Is your diet
working?"
- Optimal Nutritional Evaluation;
one of the most comprehensive evaluations of your functional needs for
nutrients, amino acids and antioxidant requirements available anywhere
in the world.
- Amino Acid Testing; comprehensive evaluation individual amino acids especially suited to athletes.
- Essential Fatty Acid Testing; determine your individual requirements for all the different types of Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids.
- Food Allergy Testing; Essential for treating irritable bowel and other gastrointestinal mediated inflammatory disorders
- Base Line Hormonal Profile; suitable for men and women.
- Food Allergy Testing for Vegetarians; highly specific for your unique diet.
- Food Allergy Testing for Asian Food; specific for 96 types of commonly used foods in the Asian diet.
- Food Additives and Food Colouring Testing; particularly important for autistic spectrum disorders, skin and concentration issues in children.
- Food Allergy Testing for Herbs and Spices; often overlooked but important in those with particularly sensitive systems.
- Antibiotic and Anti-inflammatory Chemical Intolerance; are the drugs you take damaging your body?
- Environmental Chemical Intolerance; a must for farmers and others exposed to these types of chemicals.
- Moulds and Pharmocactive Agents Intolerance; suitable for those exposed to moulds or chemicals.
- Osteoporosis Markers (NTx); assess if your Osteoporosis medication or calcium supplementation is working.
- Cardiovascular Profile; very important test for those at risk, or
under treatment for heart disease, cardiovascular disease, prevention
or recovery of heart attack or stroke. Includes elements commonly
missed in Medicare blood tests.
- Inflammation Profile; gives precise information of your specific inflammatory markers that may drive your pain or disease.
3. Match Your Individual Nutritional Needs to Your Treatment Protocol
Each test provided by The Spinal Centre includes a comprehensive report analysing the information and providing dietary and or nutritional solutions you should consider to improve your health.
Most clients usually begin with Baseline Nutritional Testing as a minimum. This is a great way to assess if your diet is working for you, or you have nutritional deficiencies that may be damaging your health.
If you have sub-optimal health, you are an athlete or you want to improve your level of well-being then this is a good place to start.
If you want to see if your diet, nutritional, supplement or natural medicine strategy is working for you a Baseline Nutritional Test will be of great value.
Clients that require one of the comprehensive health evaluations available anywhere in the world usually combine the Genetic Test with the Optimal Nutritional Evaluation (ONE) .
Either of these strategies can provide a scientific platform to improve your health, and combine with other tests available on The Spinal Centre for a truly unique and individualised health strategy.
For those patients of the practice we personally tailor a program to address your areas of concern, remove your pain, restore imbalance, improve function and help you achieve your genetic potential.
