About Medical Herbalism And Their Benefits
Medical Herbalism is a sophisticated system of natural medicine using plant extracts and herbs to help treat physical and mental disorders. It is the oldest system of medicine in the world. Some of the very plants used today were dispensed by the father of medicine, Hippocrates. Many common drugs today are made from herbal extracts. Unlike conventional medicine, herbalists use the whole herb or plant rather than isolating and breaking down chemical compounds and then synthesising them. This is because the plant, being a part of Nature, is said to represent perfect balance; healing requires the natural combination of elements in the plant or herb, not just a single chemical within it.
The Benefits:-
Herbal Medicine will create deep and lasting health improvements in a safe, gentle but effective...

Paediatric Chiropactic
Chiropractic care for children can have dramatic results. A child's developing spine protects the nervous system, which coordinates every process between the mind and body. Birth is one of the most traumatic events that we will ever have to endure, and can cause the vertebrae in the spine and the bones of the skull to become misaligned. A child's spine continues to receive the daily stresses and traumas of life as they grow. These forces distort the positioning of the spine and may cause slight pressure on the spinal cord, thus reducing the flow of communication between the mind and the body. These misalignments,known as subluxations, alter how well the nervous system functions and thus how well your child's mind and body function develops. The Benefits:-Paediatric chiropractic...

Pilot Study of Neuro Emotional Technique for Low Back Pain
Purpose: To investigate the effect of Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) and to test the procedures of the proposed RCT for the management of chronic low back pain.

Background - Chiropractic & Osteopathy
Trigger points have been defined as discrete, hyperirritable foci usually located within a taut band of skeletal muscle [1]. The point is a well-circumscribed area in which pressure produces a characteristic referred pain, tenderness and autonomic phenomena [1]. Trigger points are considered an essential defining part of the myofascial pain syndrome, in which widespread or regional muscular pain is a cause of musculoskeletal dysfunction [2], as well as being associated with hyperalgesia, restriction of daily function or psychological disturbance [3]. Upon clinical presentation, trigger points are classified depending on certain characteristics. An active trigger point is defined as one with spontaneous pain, or pain in response to movement. It is tender...
