Headache is one of the commonest symptoms experienced by human beings - indeed it is unusual not to have at least occasional headaches. Several large studies have found that 80 to 90 per cent of the general population say they have had at least one headache in the previous year.
When we say it is a symptom, we mean that it is not a disease in itself, but a change which we notice in the body that can in some cases be a sign of a problem or disease.Most headaches prove to be entirely harmless and are best treated with ordinary painkillers, but headache is still the commonest single reason for which patients are referred by their GPs for specialist opinion.

Bad posture may also be a contributing factor in some cases. For example, neck pain is more common in people who spend much of their working day at a desk, with a 'bent-forward' posture. It is a complaint and one which we see most commonly in our clinic. This is the result of prolonged postures or positions that can affect joint surfaces, muscles or tendons.
Sports people and manual workers commonly complain of pain on the outside aspect of the elbow, commonly due to repetitive wrist extension activities. This condition is traditionally labelled "tennis elbow". Pain is caused by the scarring, thickening and tightening of one of the wrist extensor tendons that attaches just below the outside aspect of the elbow joint.
Four out of five of us get back pain at some time. Most back pain is caused by a simple sprain or strain and improves in a short time with simple self-help treatments. However, sometimes back pain becomes persistent (chronic) or has a more complex cause. Either way, there is a great deal you can do to help yourself, our treatments however are available to help with the more complex problems.
