Various precipitating factors, such as stress, hunger or eyestrain are all possible causes behind tension headache.

Mouse arm is characterized by pain or stiffness in the back of the neck, shoulders, arms or hands.

Sciatica pain is felt in the lower back, buttock or in various parts of the leg or foot. Typical symptoms except for pain may be numbness, muscular weakness, pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. In order to treat sciatica or sciatic symptoms it is important to evaluate the underlying cause of the problem.

Pain in the Achilles tendon is either due to an acute injury or a result of overexertion during a longer period of time. The acute injury may be caused by a strain in the tendon with bleeding and swelling as following effect. Tenseness in the calf muscles might also cause pain in the Achilles tendon. Common symptoms are morning stiffness, pain during and after activity, swelling, muscular weakness and lameness.
 

Lumbago is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by moderate, severe and disabling low back pain. It can either be acute, subacute or chronic in duration. The causes of Lumbago are often not clear. It is thought to be related to disc problems, but pain can also be caused by the muscles, joints, ligaments or nerves. In some cases lumbago are caused by serious underlying conditions such as tumours or infections.
Lumbago symptoms typically include pain in the back. It is a condition that limits spinal movements, particularly when bending forwards. The back muscles may be over contracted in muscle spasm and may force an abnormal posture to one side.

Pain and stiffness in the lower back are often connected to a long lasting, unilateral and incorrect working position. It is an extremely common condition; however, the symptoms and severity of lower back pain vary a lot. Identifying the symptoms, along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain, is the first step in obtaining effective pain relief. We can can help you with this and evaluate whether the pain is severe enough to necessitate an emergency room visit or not.

Tennis elbow is an overexerted injury causing pain on the outside of the elbow, making it sore and tender. The condition is not only strongly linked to racquet sports such as tennis, but it can also be caused by activities of daily living. Different types of symptoms may be pain in the outer part of the elbow, tenderness or stiffness.

Migraine is a chronic disorder characterized by moderate to severe headaches, possibly triggered by different types of nourishments and state of tension in the posterior head muscles. The cause of migraine headache is unknown, but the most supported theory is that it is related to hyper excitability of the cerebral cortex and/or abnormal control of pain neurons in the trigeminal nucleus of the brainstem.
A typical migraine headache is unilateral (affecting one half of the head). Typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting and increased sensitivity to light and sound. In order to recognize what type of headache that you are suffering from, it might be good to keep a diary of your pain attacks. Bring it to us so that the we together can find out what triggers the headache.

The ability to correct the cause
Naprapathy is well established in the Scandinavian countries, especially in Sweden where the first naprapathic college outside the United States was founded in 1970. Naprapathy was originally initiated in 1907 in the United States by Dr. Oakley Smith, who rejected the “subluxation-theory” used as an explanation for pain and disability in manual therapies at that time. Instead, he believed that the reason behind dysfunction and pain in the neuromusculosceletal system (muscles, joints, bone structure and nervous system) could be explained by modifications in the connective tissues and states of tension in surrounding soft tissues.
