Follow Up Visit every 2-3 months

Dear Liz

I knew my legs were different lengths, because I'd had a build up on my shoes for years.  But after a few visits with you, I had to take my shoe down the shed and cut the build up off, because it was too uncomfortable, now my legs are the same length.  My headaches stopped and I can move around a lot better than before with much less pain.

Thanks
Ron

Dear Liz

When I first came to see you, I hadn't been able to sleep for two years because my shoulder was so painful.  It would wake me up through the night with the pain.  My partner Ricky talked me into giving you a go, after he'd had such a good result from when he came.  I didn't think you'd be able to do mych, but thought I'd probably enjoy the warm stone massage anyway.  From the very first time I came, the pain was gone.  I sleep really well and can move my shoulder and arm around without the pain I had before.  We've moved to York now and it takes us over an hour to come to see Liz, but we wouldn't trust anyone else.  I tell anybody who is in pain, call me and I'll give you Liz's number.

Thanks
Kathleen

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dorn Spinal Therapy

It is the number one back pain treatment in Europe used by doctors, naturopaths and physiotherapists and now finally available in Australia.

A gentle spinal and joint treatment to work with back problems, joint problems and headaches caused by wrongly placed vertenbrae and differnt leg length.

It is non-manipulative as joints and vertebrae slide gently back into their rightful position through self determined movements of the patient.

What can it help with?

Dorn can help balance your leg length.  We usually get your legs the same length on the first visit.  This helps put your hips and spine in a better position which helps with back pain, knee pain, hip pain, neck pain and headaches.  You may also find your feet hurt less too.  Sometimes it can help with vertigo and nausea when we put your last vertebrae back, which may have been pressing on your eardrum.

Can I tell if my legs are different?

Yes.  You can do one test on yourself at home.  Lay on your back on the floor.  Lift your knees up and dangle your feet.  (So your thighs are at right angles to your back).  You will be able to see for yourself if your knees are at differnt heights.  There are some other tests we do, that need two of us, but you can do this one above by yourself at home.

Does it hurt?

No.  Dorn spinal therapy is a very gentle technique and uses persuasion rather than force to balance your spine and leg length.

How is this differnt to chiropractic treatment?

It is a low repeditive treatment.  We aim to fix the underlying cause of the problem so it will generally stay fixed for long periods of time.  By giving you movements you can do at home, often you can fix yourself after a bit of experience.

There is no cracking or crunching and no surprises.  We do the movements together.  We will always tell you what we're doing and what is going to happen next.  The movements are very gentle as we persuade the vertebrae back into position.

Why do you do a massage?

We like to finish with a specialist spinal massage because it gives you a longer lasting result and a faster benefit.  Once we've gently moved your vertebrae into their rightful position, a massage will ensure the muscles around the vertebrae relax, so they don't keep pulling the vertebrae back out again.  When a vertebrae is out, the muscles on one side are tighter than the other, so the tendency will be for those muscles to just pull the vertebrae back to where it was before.  The massage helps the muscles that are tight to relax so the vetebrae stays where it belongs.  It is also a nice relaxing way to end a session.

Often a lot of headaches, neck aches and back aches are made worse by tight and knottly muscles.  The massage helps release and relax these muscles and this relieves a lot of aches and pains.

What type of massage do you do?

We use warm stone massage.  We find that the heat does a lot of the work so we don't need to dig our fingers in and hurt you.  The heat is also very soothing for arthritic and rheumatic aches and pains and achieves it's results without pain.  Warm muscles are far more likely to relax and return to their natural position and stay there.

Can this help with sciatica?

Yes.  Sciatica comes about when the sciatic nerve, which runs through your bottom cheeks, is squeezed when the muscle tightens.  We use a muscle release technique that will work the very first time, to release the muscle, and stop squeezing the nerve.  There is one draw back though.  This technique is not a Dorn technique, and it can hurt quite a lot.  The good news is that it only needs to be done once, at the most twice, and involves only 4 strokes on each cheek.
