WRONG! Studies have shown that roughly a third of all people suffer from headaches. So yes they are common, but no they are not normal. A headache is considered pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck, caused by many different conditions. The brain tissue itself is not sensitive to pain as it lacks pain receptors. Rather, the pain is caused by disturbance of pain-sensitive structures around the brain. As many as 45 million people suffer from chronic or severe headaches that seriously interfere with their lives. Signs and Symptoms Headaches vary in intensity and have different symptoms: • Pain in the head • Visual impairment (blurred vision) • Nausea and vomiting • Hearing impairment • Confusion • Discomfort • Irritability What causes headaches? Spinal misalignment-nerve irritation/ interferences, certain foods, toxic fumes, preservatives and alcohol are all contributing factors to headaches. Spinal misalignments are shown to be involved in up to 80% of all headaches. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache for both adults and children. Triggers point include lack of sleep, emotional tension at home, work or school, second-hand cigarette smoke, skipped meals, poor nutrition, eye strain and bright lights. How Chiropractic helps Your spine protects your nervous system, which starts with the brain and becomes the spinal cord. Whenthe vertebrae in your neck are unable to move properly, it irritates or puts pressure on the nerves in that area. This can cause headaches. Chiropractic care addresses the cause of many types of headaches and therefore they are capable of removing or dramatically reducing the occurrence and frequency of these headaches, because they are usually due to what is called subluxations in the spine. They achieve this by performing Chiropractic adjustments to remove pressure on the nerves, which then also helps to improve nerve function. On a study conducted by the government of New Zealand it found that the majority of people who suffered from spinal misalignments had their headaches relieved or their condition improved through Chiropractic care.

SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday April 3 2018 5 News Local News Now Busy summer of callouts for lifeboat Fire rages, homes at risk • By Sarla Donovan SIZEABLE SWELLS resulted in a busy past few months for the Sumner Lifeboat coastguard service. Following a quiet end to 2017 and between Christmas and New Year, coxswain Blair Quane said call numbers picked up markedly with a number of operations between January and March. One callout on February 1 involved three separate incidents happening at the same time, after a big southerly change came through and a “massive off-shore wind” got several people into trouble. First a boogie boarder was caught in a rip by the station headquarters. At the same time, a kite surfer off Scarborough Beach got into trouble and had to release his kite which flew off “halfway to the Chatham Islands,” said Mr Quane. “We had to take one of the boats out pretty much to the horizon to get his kite because we kept getting calls from people on the hills saying ‘there’s something out there that looks like a yacht in trouble’.” SKILLED: The Sumner Lifeboat headquarters during a recent operation. Simultaneously, a catamaran in the Avon-Heathcote Estuary flipped over and everybody on board fell out. “We were all hands on deck.” A week-long search for 14-year-old Jack Sutton was one of the biggest the lifeboat had ever been involved in, with 93 vessels searching from Waimairi to Lyttelton Harbour. Jack was swept out to sea after getting caught in a rip off Sumner Beach on February 5. His body was found washed up on the foreshore on February 12. Sumner Lifeboat has about 40 active voluntary crew, along with reserve crew and three paid part-time staff members. It costs about $200-$250,000 a year for wages, crew gear, vessel maintenance, fuel and operational outgoings. The boat can often be spotted heading offshore on Tuesday evenings – training night. “Sumner is quite a unique unit for coastguards; it does a lot of its work within the surf, whereas Coastguard Canterbury and Waimakariri-Ashley are predominantly offshore or doing river work.” “We need skippers to be able to helm the boat in pretty atrocious conditions. A lot of the time, if there’s a really big surf BIG WAVES: Sumner Lifeboat trainees practice driving the boat in large swells and putting out fires on the breakwater. on you’ll see the boat go out and spend an hour or so out there. The guys are just getting used to driving the boat in the surf. Now we’re coming into winter so we start moving into night operation stuff where we’re driving in the dark, practising navigating into the estuary, being able to identify landmarks in the dark and use gear like the radio and GPS when it’s dark.” It takes a year of training before a new volunteer can crew on a callout. Heads shaved for a good cause •From page 1 The money will go towards information packs, emergency assistance vouchers, counselling and support group meetings for those affected by the cancer. Proud of his school’s accomplishment, Dominic says it’s been rewarding. “The boys really got behind it and really enjoyed it,” he said. SMOOTH: About 45 St Thomas of Canterbury College students and staff had their heads shaved in a bid to raise money for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ.
