Headaches and RSI
There are many different types of headaches as well as many different reasons why one might develop RSI. Regardless of the type of headache or the reasons for the RSI, effective treatment starts with the identification of factors that are unique to each patient.

Factors To Back Or Neck Pains
Most cases of musculoskeletal pain can be attributed to what is called dysfunction. This simply means that your joints, muscles, discs and the nervous system are not performing their job as well as they could. Chiropractic care provide a solution to:
|
Muscle Dysfunction
Some muscles respond to joint dysfunction by becoming tense and overactive, while others respond by becoming limb and underactive. In either case, one thing that can happen in these muscles is the development of trigger points, areas of congestion within the muscle where toxins accumulate. These toxins can irritate the nerve endings within the muscle and produce pain.
|
Because joints and muscles contain a great number of nerve receptors, joint and muscle dysfunction can cause abnormal neurological signals to be sent into the central nervous system. This can then cause disruption of the ability of the nervous system to properly regulate muscles in other parts of the body, leading to the development of faulty movements patterns.
|
Joint Dysfunction
Joint dysfunction occurs when one or more of the joints in the spine loses its normal resiliency and shock absorption capacity. The normal range of movement is affected and the joint can become painful. As joints contain receptors, the dysfunction can cause abnormal signals to be sent to the central nervous system and cause the muscles related to that joint to either become too tense or limp.
|
Faulty Movement Patterns
Faulty movement patterns occur when the individual muscles that produce a certain body movement do not properly cooperate with each other to ensure that the movement occurs in a smooth and painless manner. This causes increased strain in the muscles and joints, leading to pain. These faulty movement patterns can involve the spine itself, or arise from dysfunction in other areas, such as the foot, ankle or pelvis.
|
Disc Problems
Joints and muscles dysfunction put strain on the discs between the vertebrae and small tears may develop. Should gel, in the middle of the disc seep out into these tears it irritate nerve endings in the outer portion of the disc. If it seep all the way out and presses on a nerve root, pain in the back and the leg develop, perhaps with numbness, tingling and muscle weakness.
