Dural Release | Self-Treatment to RELIEVE BACK PAIN - with Nichelle Thomson

It's not just muscles, ligaments and discs that get injured in back injuries! The dura can develop tension and create pain and back tension too!

Dura is the structure that encases your spinal cord. It attaches from the inside of your skull behind your nasal bone and forehead bone, wraps along in the inside of the skull around the brain and spinal cord and attaches on the front of the tailbone. During injury (especially with impact the the tailbone, spine or head), the dura can become tensioned and tension, if not addressed properly, can lead to pain or play a factor in unresolved pain further down the line. Examples of this pain can disguise themselves as forehead tension headaches, upper, middle or lower back tension, nerve pain such as numbness, tingling or burning down the back and/or legs, to name a few.

It is recommended that you perform this video 2 times per week at first (giving yourself at least 2-3 days rest in between), and work your way up to doing this video every second day during your first phase of recovery. Be kind to yourself and don't push yourself too hard. Gradually working up to completing the video if better than creating more issues for yourself by pushing through the pain of numbness, tingling or burning. DO NOT DO THAT! When you start to notice your range of motion increases and your tension decreases, maintain this by completing this video 1-2 times every two weeks.

It is also recommended that you book an assessment with your local manual osteopath in order for them to correct any misalignments that may be contributing to your back/neck pain/ even head pain. If you live around Sudbury, Ontario you can book an appointment online with Nichelle Thomson at www.heat-therapy.ca.
