Can Chiropractic help me?
Headaches and Migraines
Headaches and migraines are nature’s way of signaling that something is wrong. It’s possible that your headache or migraine may have nothing to do with your head at all and may in fact be a result of spinal misalignment.
Over the counter medications will treat the symptoms of your pain. A chiropractor will find and treat the cause, thus eliminating the need for drugs.
Dr Misha, from Del Rae Chiropractic at Coorparoo, can adjust your spine and neck to reduce the pressure on your nervous system. This will improve how your body functions and alleviate the stress on your back and neck to reduce the severity of the headache. She can also offer advice on exercises and relaxation techniques that may help.
Often a change in posture or correctly adjusting the ergonomic setup at your desk can help reduce the frequency of headaches and migraines. No headaches and no drugs – that has to be a good thing!

Neck pain and stiffness
Chiropractic care is an effective, drug free method of treating neck pain and stiffness. The neck is one of the most nerve-rich areas of the spine. As a result, problems in this area can cause other problems throughout the body. As our neck is so mobile and our heads are heavy the neck can be easily damaged. It’s like balancing a bowling ball on the tips of your fingers all day long!
Many people will experience neck pain at some time in their lives. Frustration and anger can trigger the tightening of neck muscles. This leads to neck pain and headaches. Our neck and shoulders are often the “weakest link” and this is where stress can show up in our bodies.
Neck pain can be caused by a variety of things common to our everyday lives:
• Emotional Stress or frustration
• Prolonged use of a computer
• Falling asleep in an awkward position or using an unsuitable pillow
At Del Rae Chiropractic at Coorparoo, Dr Misha is able to gently and effectively treat your neck pain and advise preventative measures to help you relieve the symptoms. Remember, over-the-counter drugs can only dull the pain, not eliminate it!

Back Pain
Think back pain, think chiropractic care! It is very important not to ignore back pain as it may be symptomatic of an underlying condition. If the spine is not in correct alignment areas of weakness can occur in the back putting pressure on the spinal cord.
Many of us have experienced back pain and understand how debilitating it can be. Back pain is commonly treated with over-the-counter medication, however this will only reduce the symptomatic pain. When the medication wears off the pain usually returns.
A far better alternative is to find the cause! Dr Misha at Del Rae Chiropractic, located in Coorparoo, can effectively diagnose and address the cause of your back pain. Effective treatment will then consist of a series of spinal adjustments releasing the tension in the joints and muscles. Dr Misha may also recommend a course of exercise and health maintenance to put you on the path to wellness care. There are many benefits of wellness care – being pain free is just one of them!
The most common cause of back pain is stress to the muscles and joints of the back, often accumulated from our day to day activities such as:
• Sitting for extended periods of time
• Incorrect bending and lifting
• Poor posture
• Sleeping incorrectly
The good news is there are some things you can do to help minimize the severity of back pain.
• Maintain correct posture at all times
• Regular low-impact exercise such as swimming or walking
• Wear comfortable flat or low-heeled shoes
• Purchase a mattress specifically designed to correctly support your back while you sleep, visit Sleepy's for more information on the range of bedding designed and tested by the Chiropractors Association of Australia)
• Ensure that your workspace is ergonomically correct. This should include a chair that correctly supports your lower back and is at the correct height to rest your arms at a 90 degree angle to the desk.

Stress
Would you like to effectively manage stress? Did you know one of the keys to managing stress in our busy lives is to maintain a healthy balanced spine?
The effects of stress on our bodies become evident in our nervous system. All our body’s processes are co-ordinated, controlled and organized by our nervous system. All the other systems in our body (like the digestive system and the circulatory system) depend on the nervous system to function properly.
So it makes sense to keep the nervous system functioning effectively so we can better manage stress.
This is where chiropractic care becomes an integral part of our health maintenance program. Dr Misha can’t make your life less stressful, however, with regular spinal adjustments she can help your body develop a healthier response to stress!

Baby Care
The advice and reassurance of a baby chiropractor can be invaluable for you and your baby. The benefits of chiropractic care for your baby are many. Dr Misha is highly experienced in the area of baby chiropractic and is able to answer any questions you may have to put your mind at ease. What does a baby chiropractor do?

Other issues that may be helped by gentle adjustments are reflux episodes, vomiting after feeding, constipation and persistent crying.
Chiropractic care as a newborn can prevent birth trauma persisting into adult life. That has to be a good thing!
