Complaints

Tinnitus is a perception of sound when there is no external sound present, often described as ringing, humming, buzzing, etc., either experienced in one or both ears or inside the head. This can either be intermittent or constant, and can develop into chronic if not given proper attention.

Dizziness is a common problem for many people but it is not normal. Dizziness can be experienced in different ways, and some of the most common are:

• Vertigo – feels like the room or the world is spinning
• Unsteady walk - like after you have been out on the sea
• Associated symptoms such as nausea and vomiting - or the feeling of having to throw up
• Some also report symptoms of impaired hearing, headaches etc.

Neck and back pain is one of the leading causes of disability and functional impairment. Impaired function associated with symptoms in the neck and back often comes from the body needing rest and relaxation to heal itself after overload. It is simply the body's defense mechanisms telling you that it needs rest. Why is the neck and back one of the most important structures in our body? It protects our delicate nervous system. No wonder that the functions of the spine are critical for optimal function.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The body is thought to have mistakenly broken down the myelin sheath in the nerve tissue, causing what is called demyelination. The cause of MS is said to be idiopathic, meaning it is unknown. A few recent studies have shown that people who had concussions as teenagers are up to twice as likely to be diagnosed with MS later in life. The more head injuries the children had, the more likely they were to develop MS later in life.

Migraine is a debilitating type of headache, usually throbbing or pulsating in nature and accompanied by a variety of physical symptoms such as nausea or visual symptoms known as an aura. They usually occur on one side of the head (hemi-cranial) and can last from a few hours to a few days.

Fibromyalgia is the name given to a condition that consists of chronic pain in several areas, global stiffness and soreness. It affects around 2% of the population, and although it can occur in men, the vast majority of those affected are women. It can be difficult to diagnose as it shares symptoms with many other conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, M.E., multiple sclerosis and arthritis. Fibromyalgia is usually triggered after a single or series of stressful events, these can be physical, chemical or emotional.

Arthritis, also better known as joint wear and tear, is a compensatory condition where the cartilage between the joints becomes smaller. This often happens due to a lack of normal function in the joint. The body compensates by forming new bone tissue, which in turn reduces movement in the joint.
