Totally Different Approach to Back and Neck Problems

[John Allman]

Many of you may be interested to hear of a new treatment designed to work on the entire spine to both free all the joints and also to align the spine. I suffered with neck pain from my teenage years and had developed a scoliosis and was attending a chiropractor. The treatments were helping ease the pain for a week or so but the same problems kept returning and when I read about treatment it sounded very logical and I thought I would try it. It has made such a difference to my neck pain (I no longer "crack" my neck, I can stand for long period of time without my neck and shoulders getting sore and I have no pain into my arm) and the benefits were long lasting.

The reason the benefits are long lasting is because the treatment works on the entire spine.Most peoplehave some degree of a sideways curvature in the spine and where there is a curvature there is increased stress in that area which leads to pain. It is this increased stress that leads to disc and joint degeneration and nerve pain. If, for example, your Lumbar spine has a curvature and you are feeling the pain around L5/S1 most people would simply work on the sore area. This may ease the problem temporarily but the curvature is still there putting the pressure onto that area and inevitably the problem returns. However, by working on the entire spine withit is possibleto free up and align all the joints of the spine, thereby stabilising the spine and making the benefits much longer lasting.The equipment used in this treatment is able to provide a better job of freeing up the spine.

where did you have this done? i've been suffering from intense back pain for about 8 years and have been looking for help for as long as i can remember. i have always been sent away by my doctor saying there is nothing wrong with me, i've tried massage and a chiropractor and some other healing techniques aswell as streatching and exercise but nothing seems to work so i'm open to trying new things if it'll help!!!

How much does the equipment cost?

 

[Jenken]

It costs about £50 per session - mainly used by osteopaths.

I had 3 sessions on it earlier in the year and it helped me a great deal. didn't fix but helped. i know someone else who had a tight back for years from too much cycling and this fixed him 99% in 3 sessions. its quite intense as they do the whole spine but non of the usually clicking and clunking that you get from chiros and osteos. NO high velocity thrusts!

Note: not all chiropractic involves clicking and clunking. McTimmney (sp?) chiropractic is a more gentle than the bone crunching one.



Also Spinal Touch can be very good for spine misalignment and pains.

Is the only place for this to be done Edinburgh and Ireland ?, I would have been interested in this, I live in Bristol.............

 

[Tofu Fool]

there is one at shresbury and one in wales - type in tamars on google and have good search

Sorry for the late reply but I have been away on holiday and have just arrived back recently.

I originally went to London to have the treatment but there are now clinics in Northern Ireland, Edinburgh, London and Shrewsbury as well as Spain that are dedicated clinics using only the TAMARS treatment.

In your case, #1 Princess, it would certainly worth trying it because this treatment doesn't just focus on the places that you are sore but also on the rest of the spine. This was certainly the case with me because as I said in my first post, chiropractic treatment did help temporarily but it wasn't until my whole spine was freed and straightened that I noticed a longer term solution.

I have scoliosis in my lower spine but a doctor told me that the bones are fused as the curve does not change no matter what position my back is in, could this treatment still help with my back pain? I get neck ache when I lay down in bed aswell

This is the link to the theory of Robert Taylor designer of Tamars/Pam (power assisted manipulation).
www.Pambackcare.com.au/pam_theory.htm Its a V long read and a bit of a rant IMO.

He is does'nt appear to agree with the Physio/Chiro/Osteopath approach to back care...Yet wants them to buy his machine?

I find myself very much agreeing with his whole spine treatment approach and his register with a practitioner for regular (annual treatment/checkup dentist style) .

Unfortunately he does'nt seem to mention all the other joints, limbs and muscles that effect function of the spine.IMO.
