“Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is not an incurable, hopeless mental disorder. PTSD has been shown to have physical roots. I hope you will join us in the years to come as we seek to eliminate PTSD from the trauma equation.”
Dr. John E. Upledger
In 1999, Dr Upledger and a team of craniosacral therapists led 22 Vietnam veterans in a groundbreaking study using a protocol co-designed with the West Palm Beach Veterans Administration Medical Centre. A post-program report by an independent licensed psychologist confirmed that the veterans experienced fewer symptoms by the conclusion of the program, most notably related to obsessive/compulsive behaviours, depression, lack of motivation, feelings of alienation, and total number and severity of general symptoms. More than a 95% correlation was noted between the improvements and the craniosacral therapy sessions the veterans received.
Here are some excerpts from the study:

Chiropractic care with same-day appointments and targeted spinal manipulation provides rapid relief for work-related neck pain. Understanding early signs of discomfort, such as limited range of motion, allows for early intervention and prevention of chronic conditions. Common office habits like poor posture can exacerbate symptoms, however, immediate treatment during work hours and ergonomic adjustments provide ongoing relief. Regular chiropractic assessments, coupled with mindful posture habits, help manage and prevent neck pain, promoting a healthy working environment.
Prolonged sitting and poor ergonomic habits at desk jobs can significantly impact neck health, leading to chronic pain. Regular breaks, proper workspace setup, and targeted exercises help maintain neck health. Professional treatments like physiotherapy and manual therapy can effectively address persistent neck pain.
