INDICATIONS FOR USE CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE *What is the DORN SPINAL THERAPY?* The Dorn Spinal Therapy has a 30 year old history of use in Germany. It is currently the most popular back pain treatment used in Europe by doctors, naturopaths and physiotherapists and it is finally available in Australia. It is a gentle spinal and joint treatment, which works to address back problems, joint problems and headaches caused by a wrongly aligned vertebra or a different leg length. It is a non-manipulative treatment which allows joints and vertebrae to ‘slip’ back to their right and natural position through self-determined movements of the patient. It is a low repetitive therapy as often all that is required is alignment of a single vertebra and the balancing of the leg length - the patient gets relief from back or neck pain, headaches and related discomfort. It is based on an understanding that the spinal column – which is an extension of the central nervous system – connects to meridians (energy channels), major organ systems and patterns of thought in the brain. Being a holistic concept and therapy, other areas of pain often can get relief as well by working on the meridian and nervous system of the body. top *How does the DORN SPINAL THERAPY work?* Using movement is a fundamental element in the treatment so that all corrections happen in a dynamic where the patient is swinging either his leg, arm or moving his head, depending on the area the therapist is working on. The movement ‘distracts’ the muscles so they don’t resist the correction. This aspect of the treatment allows it to be very gentle. top *How can DORN SPINAL THERAPY help you?* Immediately effective. Great value for money - rarely are more than three to four treatments necessary to get long lasting results. Virtually no pain during the treatment. Pain threshold is vital for information about your body and why it can’t move properly – the therapy never goes beyond that. Pain cannot always be avoided completely – when there is pain that may be too much, the therapist stops working on that particular part. The work then continues at a later time. Chronic cases often get fast relief. Perfect for prevention of back problems in kids and young adults. top *How can DORN SPINAL THERAPY help your children?* A fantastic technique to balance leg length differences in children before creates problems for the hips and ultimately the back later in development. Regular check ups in children and adolescents help prevent or treat the negative side effects of heavy schoolbags and long hours sitting or in front of computers. Easy exercises make it more likely for your teenagers to look after themselves. top *INDICATIONS FOR THERAPY* Back pain Neck pain Headaches ‘Pins and needles’ in arms and/or hands Hip problems Sciatica Jaw problems Knee problems Ear aches Vertigo Shoulder problems top *CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR THERAPY* Any recent accident Post-surgery of discs for the first 4 weeks Cancer Acute inflammation Acute prolapsed disc(s) Paralysis Acute migraine attacks top Care has to be taken with those on long-term cortisone medication as it can make bones brittle. top
