25.01.2022 Yes we are open in Stage 4 lockdown. You can still book online or on the phone. Care giving and being cared for is one of the reasons to leave home. Please let us know if you are unwell and need to cancel your appointments or if you or a family member are waiting test results.

25.01.2022 Richmond Better Backs update. We are continuing to be open for your benefit as we are an essential service. But as of today Dr David Jones chiropractor will only work from Mitcham during the Covid-19 state of emergency and Dr Emily Mitrevski will only work from Richmond. Dr Whitney will still be at both clinics. You can still book online for these services at betterbacksmelbourne.com.au

22.01.2022 Warming up Winter for you plus freebies and a general Better Backs update

22.01.2022 Movement March is all about getting your body moving Do you know how much time you spend moving your body daily? Are you doing 10,000 steps a day? How much exercise are you doing daily? These are some questions you may have asked yourself or had asked to you by your practitioner.... The attached article outlines how sitting or being in a sedentary position for too long can be detrimental to our overall health. This isnt unknown information as the general population is aware that we should participate in 30 mins of exercise three or more times a week, but do we actually move enough once we have completed our daily exercise. It is not only important to exercise, but also ensure that when we are sitting at our desks we have standing up breaks or do a quick walk to the toilet every so often. Participating in this type of movement will reduce time spent sitting and allow our body to move more, which is what Movement March is all about! To book an appointment to improve your health please calls our clinic on 9873 7373. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//PMC34195/pdf/nihms182380.pdf

20.01.2022 David at Light FM with Lucy and Cal, and a few other other Sponsors. Great station doing great things glad to be part of this station through sponsorship for the last 6.5 years.

20.01.2022 Who has seen this in their local Whitehorse Journal newspaper this week. Yes it is chiropractic spinal health week for 2018 which means it is our birthday. It was this week in 2010 we started with Rachel Baker as the receptionist and Dr David Jones as the chiropractor in our first clinic in Mitcham now we have 2 clinics one big one in Mitcham and a small but effective satellite clinic inside Richmond Regal sleep solutions. If any of your friends or family want to have a free 10-15 min assessment they need to contact us this week. Kids have a coloring comp to win some vivo shoes.

17.01.2022 URGENT UPDATE!!!!!!! No Need for a REFERRAL from GP. However there are restricted access to care based on the following guidelines. Read through if you are not sure if your care is Essential please call our office to discuss. NEW UPDATED GUIDELINES FOR WHAT CONSTITUTES AS ESSENTIAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE under stage 4 restrictions. ... What is essential care? DHHS with ACA stipulate that Essential care applies: - only if there is likely to be a significant deterioration in a patients physical or mental health should they not receive care in the next 6 weeks - to an acute injury or chronic flare up and would need to be moderate to severe in nature. Advice from the DHHS This week the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) advised all allied health practitioners that, in areas where stage 4 restrictions apply. - Care should only be provided if the absence of, or delay of this care, would result in a significant change or deterioration in the patients functional independence, necessitating escalation of care. Chiropractors can provide essential care in the following instances: To avoid a requirement for specialist input/review. To avoid an increase in care needs and/or the need for alternate accommodation. To avoid a hospital admission or emergency department presentation Again, you do not require a medical referral to receive chiropractic care. We are advised that routine, maintenance and non-urgent care should be deferred until after Stage 4 restrictions are lifted. We will endeavor to keep you up to date with the latest medical advice as we receive it. If you do require ESSENTIAL chiropractic care that meets the above criterion, or need Telehealth or other advice contact the clinic on 9873 7373 and your call will be directed to one of our chiropractors who will further discuss your care needs. Thank you again for your understanding and we look forward to assisting you with your essential care requirements throughout these Stage 4 restrictions. Currently Dr David Jones (Chiro) is only consulting from the Mitcham Clinic. Dr Emily Mitrevski (Chiro) will only be operating from Richmond. Dr Whitney Goldstein (Chiro) will aim to be solely at Mitcham but may need to go to Richmond if Required. See more

14.01.2022 David will be giving you some tips and exciting news

14.01.2022 We have a number of events next week where you, your friends and your family can have free assessments at selected times

14.01.2022 Dr David Jones was at light FM this morning and shared how he has seen the impact that light FM has made on someones life through a simple gift.

13.01.2022 We are still open for business Here is video Reminding 7s to Stay Calm, breath and relax. My top 7 tips right now: 1. Try to maintain some normality unless your normal is stress (if your working from home set a routine) have you work period set in 4x2hr blocks. Or more if you do more than 8hrs a day 2. In the above routine have a time for planning. Think a little about tomorrow and today and next week. Dont spend the whole day planning or dwelling on the situation around us.... 3. For me its prayer for you it might be meditation but spend time away from your phone/s and technology and media reports. Clear your mind, do breathing exercises. If you have a Garmin try doing 3 min of the "relax timer" . If you have a foam roller try laying on it for 5-15 min 4. Nutrition it is getting hard, I have seen empty shelves or the Easter eggs which now fill the once toilet paper isle at our local supermarket. Do your best to keep eating fresh non packaged foods. If you are eating your packaged foods best to be having multivitamin or some packet greens if you are having trouble getting basics foods give me a private message and I have more solutions. 5. Practice good hygiene, wash(better than sanitise) regularly, social distance, one person in the family to go to shops, if you have an elderly family member or neighbour offer to get things for them so they can avoid going to public areas. 6. Cardiovascular exercise go for a walk, ride, run on the spot do t become a couch potato. If you get sick having better fitness decrease severity, duration and mortality. 7.spinal alignment I have seen and experience is a big part of keeping well. Please continue to get the care you need at our clinics. However if you have traveled outside of Australia in last few weeks, Contact to a covid-19 case or experience symptoms(sore throat, shortness of breath, cough (usually dry) and a fever) we will need you be cleared before having chiro or massage care. If you need or would like a naturopath appointment over the phone or are needing any supplements please let us know as supplements can be delivered directly to you. https://youtu.be/tfiunlzKpnY

11.01.2022 Sleep is really important, though a few select friends and I tend to miss out one night a week. The rest of the week I try to make sure I one get enough, two get quality.
