A BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
of some of these modalities Chiropractic addresses restrictions and malposition of the spine. Chiropractic is the treatment of choice for backaches and for many headaches. Because of the intimate regulatory association of the spine and the nervous system, chiropractic can be of benefit in many other conditions. If the spine is misaligned, the organs will not function correctly. Chiropractic can be a useful part of much of our health care. Dr. Allan practices the Gonstead Technique of Chiropractic. When a vertebra 'subluxates' (slips out of place) it falls backwards off its disc. The Gonstead Technique moves this posterior segment anterior back into place. The use of rotation in adjustments of the neck and lumbar spine is kept to a minimum. The Gonstead Technique is particularly effective, comfortable, and safe. Acupuncture can be
used to balance the body's energy fields enhancing health locally and
systemically, and can be used to address specific tensions and pains.
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and Visceral Manipulation are
gentle hands-on techniques. They follow and facilitate the body's own
subtle movements, releasing tensions in connective tissue and restrictions
in cranial movement, and in the visceral organs. Much of our emotional
and psychological history is stored in the body as somatic tension.
CST is a powerful tool for accessing and processing old patterns, freeing
and harmonising our whole being. Postural Work: our posture expresses our feeling and affects our whole being. By simple regional posture awareness we can begin to change our position in the world. (Tai Chi, Yoga, and Bioenergetics are wonderful techniques for exploring our posture and ourselves. They are employed in my practice, but it is useful to follow through on studies of these elsewhere.) Trigenics is a new muscle therapy that combines dynamic acupressure, focused breathing and muscle reflexes to quickly and dramatically relax spasms and ease muscle pain. It can be use as an adjunct to, or as a substitute for, chiropractic. The results are striking, often near miraculous, and trigenics can be employed even with acute injuries. One of the chief ingredients of trigenics is the use of a muscle reflex: "reciprocal inhibition". When we gently contract our triceps (an extensor of the forearm) the nervous system automatically relaxes the "antagonist" muscle, the biceps (a flexor). By adding a small resistance to the movement we can greatly enhance the effect. So, through a gentle resisted movement of opposing muscles we can automatically calm and relax muscle tissue. When we add dynamic acupressure manipulation of the tensed muscles and tendons, along with focused breathing, we have a remarkably synergistic system. "Synergy" means the three pieces work together much better then we’ve any right to expect. Dr. Norman Bethune Allan graduated as a doctor of chiropractic from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 1986, since when he has been involved in practicing, teaching and studying various aspects of complimentary medicine. Before becoming a practitioner of Complementary Medicines Dr. Allan was a scientist. His Ph.D., in neuroscience (Sussex 1970), was a study of central control of motor behaviour. From 1984 to 1993 Dr. Allan
was engaged (part-time) in research at the University of Toronto into
a wide variety of topics in Alternative Medicine including Acupuncture,
Bioelectricity, Wound Healing, Food Sensitivity, and Homeopathy. ASK THE DOCTOR |
