Cliffs Chiropractor Southend explains the popping sound

Posted on

cliffs chiropractor southend explains popping soundThis cartoon reminded us of one of the most frequently asked questions we receive as chiropractors in Southend.

“What’s the popping’ sound?”

Patients will often hear a popping sound when they are being adjusted. If you have received a chiropractic treatment you may very well have heard it. If you haven’t yet received a chiropractic treatment then rest assured the popping sound is nothing to be alarmed about.

The popping sound happens when two surfaces of a joint are being moved apart rapidly, as happens with some forms of adjustment, there is a change of pressure within the joint space. This may sometimes cause a bubble of gas to ‘pop’ – hence the ‘popping’ sound. The phenomenon is called cavitation.

However, this sound is not significant and does not hurt.

  • Rochford to Burnham on Crouch train walk
  • Southend on Sea to Hockley train walk

So come on all you parents and kids – get outdoors this Easter and take some exercise.

Tips to keep your teenager’s back safe from Cliffs Chiropractor Southend on Sea

Posted on

Dr Arif Soomro, one of our leading chiropractors at Cliffs Chiropractor Southend on Sea, is also a Fellow of the International Chiropractic Paediatric Assoc. and member of the Paediatric Faculty of the Royal College of Chiropractic offers the following top tips for parents to help their teenagers reduce the risks of back and neck pain:

  • Get your kids moving: The fitter children are, the more their backs can withstand periods of sitting still. To increase fitness levels, your child should be more active which can be achieved by doing activities including walking to school, riding a bike or going for a run.
  • Teach them how to sit: It’s important that children learn the correct way to sit when they’re using a computer. Teach them to keep their arms relaxed and close to their body and place arms on the desk when typing. Make sure the top of the screen is level with the eyebrows and the chair is titled slightly forward, allowing for the knees to be lower than the hips and the feet to be flat on the floor. Using a laptop or tablet away from a desk will encourage poor posture, so limit time spent in this way.
  • Don’t sit still for too long: Make sure children take a break from the position they’re sitting in on a regular basis and stretch their arms, shrug their shoulders and move their fingers around – this helps to keep the muscles more relaxed.
  • Lead by example: Maintaining good posture and promoting good back health is something that everyone should be doing, adults and children alike. If you make it a priority, it’s easier for your children to see the relevance.
  • Seek medical advice: Seek professional advice if your child is experiencing pain which has lasted for more than a few days. If your child wants to be more active, check that there are no medical reasons why they should not exercise, particularly if they are not normally physically active.

For more information on how to maintain a healthy posture, the British Chiropractic Association has developed ‘Straighten Up’ – a simple, three minute exercise programme for all ages, designed to help strengthen the spine and improve posture and help joints. To watch a video of the exercises you can do, please visit: http://bit.ly/straightenup. You can also find a lot of valuable posture advice at http://bit.ly/bcapostureinf.

Chiropractic Awareness Week 14 – 20 April focuses on helping teenagers – Cliffs Chiropractor Southend shares insight

Posted on

ICAW colour low rest’s Chiropractic Awareness Week between 14th and 20th April and this year the focus is on protecting teenagers from back and pain.

The British Chiropractic Association (BCA) along with Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic are using this year’s Chiropractic Awareness Week to warn parents that their teenagers could be at risk from suffering back or neck pain due to their sedentary lifestyles and excessive use of technology.

At Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic in Southend our experienced team of chiropractors in Southend are seeing an increasing number of young people suffering back pain.

Our Certified paediatric chiropractor in Southend, Arif Soomro from the Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic, said:

“We are seeing more and more people under the age of sixteen with back and neck pain and technology is so often the cause. Young people are becoming increasingly sedentary which is damaging their posture. There is the tendency to sit in a hunched position when working on computers and laptops, putting a lot of strain on the neck.

“Learning how to sit properly and keeping active will help to keep young people healthy and pain free. It’s important that parents seek help for their children from an expert as soon as any pain starts – if conditions are left untreated it could lead to chronic back and neck problems in later life.”

Cliffs Chiropractic Clinic in Southend will be holding Special Screening Clinics over the coming weeks. Further details will be made available on the website in the coming days.
