How do I relieve tension at the base of my skull?
Tension at the base of your skull is typically due to bad posture throughout a day from working on a computer or sitting all day. The muscles are called your suboccipitals. They consist of 3 small muscles that function to rotate your head side to side. A tip for relieving some of this tension is what I like to call "water bottle decompression". What you're going to do is get a 350 mL bottle of water, freeze it and then once it's frozen wrap a thin towel around it, place it on the floor, and lay face up. READ MORE
What problems can scoliosis cause?
Thank you for your question, Scoliosis can cause uneven use of the body leading to dysfunctions in joints and muscles over time. Simply stated it can cause pain where the joints and muscles are not working properly and in tandem. Thankfully, chiropractors are well trained in improving the imbalance in muscles and joints by first improving their movement and then working with you to stretch and strengthen the appropriate muscles. Hope this helps! Dr. Demers READ MORE
