Headaches can be caused by many different conditions and includes pain both in the head and neck. 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. Studies have shown that roughly a third of all people suffer from headaches equaling as many as 45 million people suffering from chronic or severe headaches that seriously interfere with their lives. Headaches vary in intensity and have different symptoms including pain in the head, visual impairment (blurred vision), nausea and vomiting, hearing impairment, confusion, discomfort and irritability. Headaches can be caused by a number of different reasons with spinal misalignments involved in up to 80% of all headaches. Other reasons include certain foods, toxic fumes, preservatives and alcohol are all contributing factors to headaches. Tension headaches are the most common type of headache for both adults and children. Trigger points 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 care helps Your spine protects your nervous system, which starts with the brain and becomes the spinal cord. When the vertebrae in your neck can not move properly, this irritates or puts pressure on the nerves in that area, causing headaches. Chiropractic care addresses the cause of many types of headaches so can remove or dramatically reduce both how often headaches occur and how long they last. A New Zealand Government study finding the majority of people who suffered from spinal misalignments had their headache relies or their condition improved through Chiropractic care. The reason Chiropractic care can work is because headaches are usually due to what is called subluxations in the spine. Chiropractors can perform chiropractic adjustments to remove pressure on the nerves, which then also helps to improve nerve function.

WESTERN NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday December 10 2019 7 News Musical director nominated for major online award • By Georgia O’Connor-Harding WHEN MATT Everingham took the big risk to move overseas to break into America’s music scene, he knew it would be no walk in the park. But within eight months of establishing himself as an up and coming pianist, musical director and composer in the United States, the 24-year-old has been nominated for a top award for his musical direction. A former Broomfield resident, Everingham’s name has been put forward for “Best Music Direction” in the Broadway World Regional 2019 Awards. Everingham, 24, was nominated for his work as a musical director for musical Next to Normal at the Tibbits Opera House in Michigan by a member from the Michigan theatre community. Broadway World is one of the largest online databases in the United States for theatre news and profiles, with an audience of 5.5 million online. “It came as a complete surprise, but I was thrilled. Next to Normal is a really powerful piece of theatre, and it was a thrill just to work on the production itself, so to have my music direction recognised in this way is a real honour” Everingham said. He is up against about 60 other musical directors from the Michigan and Detroit region. “Especially as a conductor/ pianist, it is always a gift having a carefully written piano part that is so well woven into an intricate orchestration. It really allows the music to sing. RISING STAR: Up and coming pianist, musical director and composer Matt Everingham working on musical Next to Normal at the Tibbits Opera House in Michigan. Everingham said the score in the musical works to shape the audience’s experience of issues of mental health, grief, depression, drug abuse and family breakdown is very powerful. “It was a moving job to be able to bring that music to life in such a powerful story”. Everingham worked on the project from late August and throughout September. He is now based in Vermont working as an assistant music director in Northern Stage’s production of The Sound of Music. In January, he will head back to his home base in New York City when his contract with Northern Stage ends. Everingham first flew to New York in April and has since been working in various parts of the United States as a musical director, conductor and pianist. He said what he has loved most about living in America is being able to do what he loves for a living, pursuing a career in music direction while experience parts of the USA he never thought he would. He said the American theatre industry is a lot larger with more companies, productions, artists and training programmes. “The essential ingredients, however, are the same; alongside having the necessary skills it is being a kind, collaborative artist takes you a long way in an industry that relies so much on working together,” Everingham said. To vote for Everingham go to https://bit.ly/34OjXjx Voting closes December 31. Avonhead Park Cemetery name change A CEMETERY remembering those who lost their lives in the February 22, 2011 earthquake could be one step closer to having its name changed. The city council is seeking feedback on whether the Avonhead Park Cemetery should be renamed the Avonhead Memorial Cemetery. It has gone out for consultation following a request from the Friends of Avonhead Cemetery for the name change and this is supported by the Quake Families Trust. The cemetery was developed in the late 1970s as a lawn cemetery without visible grave markers to give the cemetery a park-like appearance. Following the February 22 2011 earthquake, the city council designed an interment site for victims at Avonhead Park Cemetery. Feedback can be made to the city council until January 22. To make a submission go to ccc. govt.nz and click on the city council’s “Have Your Say” page.
