Back, shoulder and neck pain can be excruciating for sufferers. But there is relief in sight for many. When the pain eases it’s then time to incorporate some basic, preventative measures to ensure that the next time, if there is a next time, you won’t be left to shoulder the burden of complete discomfort.

This is the approach that innovative new Austrian company Rückenhilfe is taking in their fight to combat back injury in the capital, Vienna. Combining medical knowledge of the musculoskeletal system with preventative fitness measures, Rückenhilfe aims to keep your back in tip-top shape and ultimately minimise the number of people needing to visit the chiropractor or orthopaedic surgeon. Act before it becomes too late and if medical or surgical intervention is required, don’t relapse and fall back into the same bad habits to re-aggravate the problem.

Although prevention is often better than the cure, there are times when there is no other option. Take Adhesive Capsulitis, for instance. Most commonly identified as Frozen Shoulder (FS) Syndrome, it is a debilitating condition is characterised by shoulder stiffness, shoulder pain and contracture which, untreated, can last for an average of 30 months. Thankfully, there are a number of Frozen Shoulder solutions available to patients, yet most of them unfortunately use drugs, injections or surgery. Cortisone, saline solution or anaesthetic injections ar e common methods of treatment, but quite often they can only provide symptomatic relief from the pain and fail to achieve anything for the stiffness. However, there is now also a “hands-on” approach for FS treatment. The Niel-Asher Technique is a natural process to remedy FS, incorporating physical manipulations of the shoulder joints and soft tissues.

Get back into shape – the natural way! Whether it’s your back, neck or shoulders that are giving you problems, there’s no need to put up with the pain anymore. Look for dedicated, experienced practitioners in your local area that offer answers to your problems, and don’t look back!
