About your CHIROPRACTOR

Duane Parkinson was born in Miles, Queensland and raised in Toowoomba after his father (also a Chiropractor) moved his young family to run the Campbell St clinic. That clinic ran from 1947 till 1972 under another family and then under the Parkinson name from 1972 until Duane moved the clinic to its current location in 2019.

Through his youth Duane observed people coming into his father's clinic for help and seeing the wonderful outcomes that were possible through chiropractic treatment. He was inspired early to follow in his father’s footsteps and graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science (Anatomy) Degree from the University of Queensland and then in 1996 with a Master’s Degree in Chiropractic from Macquarie University. 

Throughout Duane's professional life he has experienced firsthand the simple joy of helping people move better and experience a life with less pain.

As a member of Chiropractic Australia, a professional organisation established to promote safe, ethical and effective chiropractic care, Parkinson Chiropractic seeks to promote evidence-based chiropractic care of a high quality that has as its primary focus the best outcomes and needs of the patient

“For me this work truly represents a big part of who I am. I have a genuine love and compassion for people. I just want to see people helped to feel better and am honored that I and my staff might be able to play a role in that outcome. If I had it to choose, I would become a chiropractor all over again”. 
- Duane Parkinson.

THE LATEST NEWS IN CHIRO
By Duane Parkinson 02 Oct, 2019
Millions of people suffer each and every day with headaches as a result of their posture. Our modern world finds us for too many hours sitting in front of a PC or looking down at our phones or tablet devices. Whenever we look down and our head is carried forward, increased pressure is placed on the tissues and joints of the neck. This in turn over time leads to premature degenerative changes as well as chronic headaches. Maintaining good spinal posture helps not only to reduce stress on the spinal tissues and joints of the neck but can also help to significantly reduce headaches. Re-establishing normal joint motion in the neck is an essential first step to reduce stress on the neck and its soft tissues and to ease pain by reducing inflammation. This is why chiropractic can be so effective in treating tension type headaches. After better neck mobility is re-established, evidence-based chiropractors will then give you a specific exercise program so things continue to work well into the future. If chronic headaches have become a problem for you, there is a good chance posture and stress on the neck may be the issue and that some appropriate chiropractic care is the very thing you need. Parkinson Chiropractic @ Toowoomba Allied Health is an evidence-based chiro clinic where each visit is always longer than 30 minutes and you will always receive heat packs and a good massage before any chiro work is given.

There are numerous different types of headache, ranging from Tension and Cervicogenic headaches through to much more serious causes such as headache secondary to a head injury or brain tumor. If there is any suspicion that the cause of your headache needs urgent medical attention, you will be immediately referred to your GP. Thankfully though, the majority of tension and cervicogenic type headaches will respond well to Chiropractic treatment. ​Each appointment at Parkinson Chiropractic & Musculoskeletal Centre includes heat and massage from a massage therapist as well as your chiropractic treatment. ​It is all included as the one experience. Your visit lasts over 30 minutes so you will have plenty of time to relax and ask questions as well as for us to give you the best care your body needs. ​We've always believed in this more relaxed pace of treatment and our focus is very much on you during your time with us. Headache Types 1. Cervicogenic Headache ​Although the pain is very much felt in the head, the actual source of the problem is in the neck joints. ​Typically these headaches are one-sided intense non-throbbing headache that can cause nausea and vomiting if severe enough. ​It can sometimes feel like the pain is behind one eye ball. There will be no visual disturbance or neurological signs as are sometimes found in migraine and typically involves pain and discomfort in the upper neck 2. Tension Headache This type of headache usually presents as a generalised headache characterized as a dull tightness around the scalp. Tension headaches can affect concentration, mood and can cause nausea. 3. Migraine Headache Usually an intense headache on one side that can involve nausea, vomiting and visual disturbance. Some migraines begin with visual disturbance like partial blind spots or squiggly lines in the visual field with the headache pain starting after about 20 minutes. It has a throbbing pulsating nature. Due to its severity and the other symptoms the migraine patient cannot function and is often bedridden. Diagnosis and Treatment At your appointment we will conduct a headache history as well as any tests needed. Providing that the headache is not due to a serious medical issue, treatment will have at it’s core the goal of pain relief via the use of heat, massage and also specific spinal manipulation/adjustments to restore good joint functioning. ​Essentially we want to restore proper joint functioning in the neck and thus reduce muscular tension and also local soft tissue inflammation. These are often the reason why headaches are being experienced.
