25.01.2022 Chiro fact! Did you know that the word chiropractic was developed in the late 19th century? The word came from chiro in English, meaning hand, and the Greek word praktikos meaning practical, which came from prattein, meaning do.

24.01.2022 Did you know the collar bone or clavicle is the most commonly broken bone in the body? Fractures usually occur as a result of a direct blow or fall onto the shoulder. Fractures may also occur with a fall onto an out-stretched hand (aka FOOSH) injury. Who has hurt their collarbone before? #chiro #chiropractic #fracture #chiro #chiromoves #paddington

21.01.2022 Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition that mainly affects the cartilage in our joints.

Give us a below! #chiro #chiropractic #OA #osteoarthitis

20.01.2022 Been thinking of seeing a Chiro but havent taken that step yet? Tiger Woods famously said: Ive been going to Chiropractors for as long as I can remember. Its as important to my training as practicing my swing. Come along and find out for yourself!... #chiro #chiropractic #tigerwoods

19.01.2022 Sprained your wrist and worried about nerve damage? It is rare for a simple wrist sprain to cause damage to the surrounding nerves. However, severe sprains, fractures or dislocations are more likely to lead to nerve related symptoms if the swelling or bone movement causes pressure on the nerves as they travel through the wrist into the hand.These symptoms usually pass when the swelling subsides or if dislocated bones have been re-located. If youve hurt your wrist, try to avoid going to the hospital at this time (unless its an emergency). Call us first and well organise an appointment, so we can take a look and get you the treatment you need. #chiro #chiropractic #wristsprain

18.01.2022 Our shoulder blades (or scapulae) should sit relatively flat against our rib cage. A direct blow to the shoulder, or a funny twist of the shoulder or neck, can injure the nerve to the muscle that keeps the blades in that flat position. As a result, you can be left with a quite debilitating condition known as scapula winging. If you have noticed your scapulas sticking out, give us a call we can help, and hopefully prevent injury or further injury. #chiro #chiropractic #scapulawinging #wingedscapula #shoulderbladewinging

18.01.2022 We prefer to say 'potential muscle' rather than fat.

15.01.2022 Your kidneys help remove waste products from your body, so any kidney problems can lead to a toxic build-up of enzymes that can spread throughout the body. Here are some top tips for keeping your kidneys healthy: Drink plenty of water Reduce your salt and sugar intake... Stop smoking and limit your alcohol consumption Keep an eye on your blood pressure Maintain a healthy weight Kidney problems can show up in ways that seem to have nothing to do with your kidneys - such as insomnia, shortness of breath, itchy skin or tiredness - so if you have any unexplained new symptoms, always get them checked out. #chiropractor #chiropractic #chiro #kidneyhealth #kidneydisease #healthiswealth #chriopracticmoves

15.01.2022 Pain in one area of the body is often the result of a problem in another area. For example, pain in the lower back could actually stem from an issue with your feet!

Always be as specific as possible when describing the location and type of pain you are experiencing. It helps us a lot! Who has experienced this? Comment below and let us know wh...ere your pain was and what ended up being the problem! #chiro #chiropractic #pain

13.01.2022 In light of some states shutting down non-essential services, the Federal Health Minister has confirmed that ALL allied health businesses nationally can conti...nue working and are encouraged to do so. The Minister has also indicated that the Australian Government Department of Health is now developing full allied health telehealth options, along with other health and medical services, within the week. This will be part of a staged plan and he encourages providers to continue vital face-to-face services where possible. The ACA represents the chiropractic profession as a member of Allied Health Professions Australia (AHPA), who are currently liaising with the Department of Health regarding this development and will be meeting with the Department shortly to discuss details for allied health items.

13.01.2022 American writer Mark Twain is famous for this quote: The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Perfect inspiration for a Monday morning. What has been on your to-do list for a while? Exercise? Cleaning out your wardrobe? Or maybe its getting that niggle seen to by your trusted chiro ?

12.01.2022 Lumbar spine extension is the backwards curving of the spine in the low back region which happens when we lean back. Because there is generally a lot of movement in this area, it is susceptible to overloading forces which can lead to unhappy joints in the spine and muscles that run down the back either side of it. People who have a naturally bigger lumbar curve (aka hyperlordosis) are more at risk of overloading injuries to the muscles and joints in this region of the spine. So, while youre at home, be careful with all that extra DIY, cleaning out the garage and rough and tumble with the kids! How is your lumbar spine feeling? #chiro #chiropractic #lumbarspine

11.01.2022 Hit your funny bone recently? Not so funny is it?! Did you know that you are actually hitting a nerve when you hit your funny bone, which is why the pain can shoot straight down your forearm and into the hand. Ouch! Anatomy geek alert: Its called the ulnar nerve. When did you last hit your funny bone?... #chiro #chiropractic #funnybone #ulnarnervecompression

10.01.2022 We’re guessing you all know what a push-up is, and you probably also know that it’s a great way to develop upper body strength, build your shoulders and work your triceps and pectoral muscles. What you might not know though, is that many people are doing push-ups incorrectly! A few common mistakes people make are:... Keeping the shoulders rolled out in front of the body so that all the work is being done by the shoulders and not the chest Not engaging the shoulder blades when pushing up to keep the correct form Arching the back when pushing up instead of keeping a straight back and engaging their core Not coming all the way down before going back into the next push-up If you want to get the full benefit from the exercise, whilst avoiding injury, make sure you get your technique checked Need a hand? We can always take a look next time you’re in the clinic #chiropractor #chiropractic #chiro #exercisetips #exerciseguide #pushups #chriopracticmoves

09.01.2022 This month we celebrate World MS Day on the 30th of May. Join us in raising awareness for people with Multiple Sclerosis, a neurological condition that leads to scarring of nerve tissue to the central nervous system (i.e. brain and spinal cord). Symptoms are incredibly varied and may include fatigue, pins and needles, numbness, problems with eyesight and memory, and difficulties walking. Lets talk about MS and educate ourselves on the ins and outs. #chiro #chiropractic #MS #multiplesclerosis #worldmsday #msconnections

08.01.2022 Olecranon Bursitis (aka students elbow) is inflammation of a fluid filled sac (called a bursa) located under the skin and above the bone at the tip of your elbow. Anyone who spends extended periods of time on their elbows is susceptible to developing this problem. It is commonly seen in students, desk-workers and plumbers. You can usually recognise it by the presence of a painful swelling on the tip of the elbow. So watch those elbows, especially now since many people are working from home, without proper desk set-up. DM us if you need some home office set up tips! #chiro #chiropractic #studentselbow #olecranonbursitis

08.01.2022 Yesterday I hosted a virtual mothers group for My Midwives Brisbane. I shared some of my knowledge to help the bodies of mums and bubs. It was a great. It is good to know that in these times of social distancing we do not have to be socially distant. We just have to mix it up. It is so important to find time to connect it is good for our health!

08.01.2022 Did you know that approximately 25% of people with a concussion injury fail to get checked out by a medical expert? Meaning some people are walking around with an undiagnosed brain injury that may require medical attention. Undiagnosed concussion can leave a person suffering from symptoms such as headache and fatigue for months or even years after the injury. Word of advice? Always get checked! Have you had a concussion before? How long did it take you to feel 100% afterwards? #chiro #chiropractic #concussion
