Community Outreach
The team at the Back Pain Centre Sunderland are committed to helping the community discover more ways of achieving spinal health and well-being. As part of that commitment, we offer the following series of talks/demonstrations to groups or organisations:
Program Descriptions:
Benefits of Osteopathy, Chiropractic & Massage During Pregnancy: Our audience will be educated on the importance of spinal balance and proper neurological function to support pregnancy, foetal development, and promote effective labour and delivery. This program is designed for expecting mothers, their families, and allied health professionals (midwives, nurses, obstetricians and pediatricians). We will discuss the importance of exercise, appropriate stretches, and the importance of regular spinal check-ups to ensure effective labour and delivery that is safe and magical for the mother and the baby.
Office Ergonomics: Employee health is a major concern for most employers and they will welcome your program with open arms. This is not just another work safety program; it emphasises the importance of regular ongoing ergonomic reviews, spinal health and regular spinal check-ups as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Backpack Safety and Body Awareness: Audience members will understand why it is important to help children develop body awareness and proper spinal hygiene from an early age. This presentation leads the audience through a process of recognising the lack of health values that causes improper decision making, and helps them develop the value system necessary to start making healthier decisions.
Healthy Aging: This program highlights the difficulty today’s seniors citizens face in a world of health care designed to treat disease as opposed to creating health. It looks at trends in medicine and the real-life effects on today’s senior population. We conclude with practical ideas for seniors that will help them create lasting change in their spinal health as well as their medicine cabinets.
Life without Headaches and Drugs: This program was designed to describe the neurological, circulatory, and chemical causes of headaches. Participants will learn the perils of a purely pharmaceutical approach of symptom-chasing in contrast to the osteopathic/chiropractic holistic approach of correcting the cause of the problem.
Neurology of the Spinal Subluxation: This is an in-depth program that compiles decades of scientific research designed to educate allied health professionals. The neurophysiological effects of spinal subluxation on muscular activity, circulation, immune function, adaptability to stress, and visceral function are all grossly misunderstood. This research points out: (1) the neurological compensation patterns that cause the development and progression of degenerative arthritis, (2) the short-term effects of the spinal adjustment on afferent and efferent function, and (3) the long- term benefit of life-time care to improve spinal and nervous system integrity and overall health and wellness.
Reducing Stress: How to Add Quality and Years to Your Life: During this presentation, participants will learn not only what Stress is, and common causes of Stress, but the Stress connection to disease. They will learn that their spinal cord is the lifeline of information from their brains to their bodies and how regular Osteopathy and Chiropractic treatment can improve their bodies’ ability to handle stress, even increase white blood cell production to fight disease.
Chiropractic, Osteopathy & Massage for Babies,Children & Teenagers: This is another super PowerPoint presentation. It starts off with the Definition of Health, and explains what Chiropractic and Osteoathy are. We discuss what spinal subluxations are, symptoms that may indicate subluxations, and the many causes of subluxations, including the birthing process. We discuss why and when a child should be taken to an osteopath or chiropractor.
Enhance Your Sporting Performance: This PowerPoint presentation introduces several very successful athletes, like Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Martina Navratilova, and points out something special that they have in common…..they are among the best in their sports fields and they all view chiropractic and osteopathy as absolutely essential to their training and overall wellbeing. We review what Health is, talk about our not so great Healthcare System, and the Solution. We cover lifestyle habits, both good and bad, the importance of proper nutrition, adequate water intake, the benefits of healthy thinking, and the importance of spinal and nerve system balance. We review what Osteopathy and Chiropractic are and the benefits of treatment.
Depending on individual needs, we can provide any or all of the above services to your group or organisation.
We at the Back Pain Centre Sunderland strongly believe that individuals who are well-balanced in every aspect of their lives lead a healthier, happier life. This is why we have chosen to offer these services to the community.
We look forward to talking with you and scheduling a class or a series of classes for your group or organisation. If you have any questions, you can contact us at 0191 565 8886, or info@ne-backpain.co.uk
Thank you so much for your time and effort to help us inspire spinal health and wellness in our community!
