24.01.2022 Hey! We're back to normal hours on Friday!

24.01.2022 Memberships are dumb for a lot of reasons and people HATE contracts, so why do I do it? This is kind of long read, but hang with me, I have a really good point and Im probably going to be way too honest about my business. Im at my capacity. Basically, Im seeing as many patients per week as I can comfortably manage without killing my own spine or allowing my quality of care to suffer. To that end, youll soon be seeing a new face around here looking after most of the new ...patients to the clinic. Ill continue to adjust and care for all of the existing rehab and wellness patients, so dont worry about getting to know a new chiro - Im not going anywhere. So, why offer a discounted membership program if youre already seeing your capacity? Why get ~20% less per service? Most business consultants tell you to RAISE prices when you hit your max not lower them, so what gives? 2 reasons. One for me one for you. First, its pretty awesome having all of the members deposits come in on the 5th of every month. If youre already a member, thank you for your trust and thank you for committing to our clinic. As a business, nothing is more critical than predictable cash flow. It allows us to set a budget. It allows us to make improvements around the place (hopefully youve noticed), and it gives us a certain satisfaction when people like us enough to sign on. Thank YOU Second, and this one is all about patient care and patient health. I dont have statistics to prove this, but I can tell you from experience, our wellness patients - the ones coming at least once/ month - just dont suffer the big blow out injuries that our other patients do. They suffer from less back pain. They dont get headaches as often - if at all, and they generally enjoy a more active lifestyle. Of course, one adjustment every month does not make them bullet proof, but it does allow them to enjoy a better quality of life. Why not just re-book monthly without all the membership stuff then? Heres me: Rehab is finished. Youre feeling better. Come monthly to stay on top of it. Heres you: Absolutely. Heres me: Great, see you next month. Heres you 6 months later: A billion different things came up and now my back hurts. Its ok. I get it. Life is busy for everyone and we generally dont think about our spine health until we lose it. Thats the benefit of the membership. A monthly discounted debit serves as your reminder to book in if you arent already. It also helps us keep track of you and your progress. Youll definitely get a call if you have an unused credit. To me, that is worth ~20% less per treatment. Thats what I think anyway and I hope you do to. Also, there is NO CONTRACT. We dont believe in that sort of thing around here. We only want people who want to be here! Thanks for reading. Book here: https://mackaychiropractic.com/home

23.01.2022 Always a pleasure to have our team from @jaxtyresandauto Mackay drop in for some maintenance. . #repost . Mackay Chiropractic Thanks Dr Jonathon for keeping this old body functional and Jill and Paige for the welcoming service everytime.

23.01.2022 Article: Canberra Spine Centre. . How Chiropractic Can Help? . 2. Injury Prevention... . The best way to deal with injuries is to prevent them! Chiropractic, by helping maintain proper motion, balance and coordination of the musculoskeletal system, can help to prevent injuries related to poor function. . A simple example of this would be a tendency to tear a hamstring muscle that is tighter than it should be due to nerve irritation coming from the lumbar spine. . A recent study (Hoskins and Pollard) examined two groups of semi-elite Australian Rules football players. . All players continued to receive their usual medical care, but half of the group also received chiropractic care. . When chiropractic care was added to conventional care, there was a significant reduction in lower limb strain injuries, time missed from knee injuries, and lower back pain. . The players receiving chiropractic treatment also reported feeling a general improvement in health. .

22.01.2022 I made this video to help people understand how sometimes it's just everyday living that creates and sustains back problems. Lucky there's CHIRO to help!

21.01.2022 Patient Centred Care Have you heard this phrase? I have. ... Actually, I have a lot lately, but maybe thats because Im in the health care field. Ill tell you this though, I never used to hear it. Patient centred care is a health care model that ensures patients (lets call them PEOPLE) are always in complete control when it comes to making their health care decisions. As doctors, we have to recognise that there is often fear and anxiety that people feel when they are given information from persons of authority and, in that time of vulnerability, the doctor must ALLAY those fears with compassionate, evidence based advice that informs and supports a person in their recovery One of the most important benchmarks that we try to achieve at Mackay Chiro is taking into the account the NEEDS and WANTS of the people we serve and giving them authentic advice that we believe will serve their best interests. Our goal is people centred care. Always.

20.01.2022 Just thinking out loud here... What if there was a kind of doctor, not a real doctor mind you, but a KIND of doctor who specialised in recognising abnormal movement patterns, posture deficiencies, and spinal alignment issues BEFORE the presence of painful symptoms? And what if this "kind of doctor" spent five, sometimes SEVEN, years learning a very specific technique to correct these problems so that these deficiencies, patterns, and issues didnt lead to more painful and so...metimes debilitating dysfunctions and injuries? And what if this proactive approach also had a history of research that supported the theory that this "kind of doctor" and this kind of treatment also showed positive improvement in other important areas of a persons well being? And what if all of this was even true for children? And what if private health companies supported this kind of treatment by providing for it within the scope of their insurance plans? And what if this "kind of doctor" had a safety record superior to ALL other health professions? I suppose one could still wait for their health to worsen before seeing this "kind of doctor," or wait until the symptoms intensify, or wait for a full blown injury to seek help, but what sort of person would want that? Like I said, just thinking out loud. Book here: www.mackaychiropractic.com

18.01.2022 It's Spinal Health Week in Australia! Book in right now for your initial consultation of only $59! www.mackaychiropractic.com for online bookings or ring the clinic 49514688 :-)

18.01.2022 [Corona virus update] It's not our intention to feed the panic that we have all been witness to in Mackay, but Covid-19 has us all navigating uncharted territory as we await a vaccine. Toward that end, we ask that all patients of the clinic use a "common-sense" approach when booking. If you are experiencing flu like symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, sore throat, or fever please re-schedule your appointments. If you have returned from an overseas holiday, please wait 14 ...days after your arrival in Australia before booking. We have placed hand sanitiser at the reception desk. Please use it. We are also wiping down the adjustment tables after every patient. I have always washed and/or sanitised my hands after every adjustment. That practice will continue. Even if you are not worried about catching this virus and think all of this is an overreaction, please remember stopping or slowing the spread is about protecting the most vulnerable in the community. It takes everyone working together to effectively flatten the curve of a contagion like this. On a personal note, if things do go badly here like in the USA and around the world and you need help, my number is 0423735556. It does not need to be about your health or chiropractic. It can be about anything. I'll see if I can assist in some way. Let's all be extra kind to each other. -- Jonathan

16.01.2022 I dont usually write about the politically driven nonsense about chiropractic safety, but after all the hoopla over that video of the child getting manipulated and the subsequent inquiry, I feel its important that the results are made public. Number of children seriously injured by a chiropractor: Exactly 0. Just like I told everyone who asked, because something looks scary, it doesnt mean its dangerous. If that were true, no one would trust an 80,000 kg tube of metal t...o fly them from Mackay to Brissy. But, just like planes, the incidence of serious injury is statistically non-existent and completely safe no matter how much the media would like to create hysteria. The fact is, with the number of chiropractic adjustments performed on children (and adults) every single day, if there were any danger, then the hospital ERs would be filled with victims. They simply are not. Please dont fear a chiropractic adjustment for yourself or family. It is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. I wonder when the inquiry on over the counter pain medication will begin --- 2000 and never.

16.01.2022 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression is here.

14.01.2022 Hey! Were back to normal hours on Friday!

14.01.2022 Its a weird thing being a chiropractor sometimes. Not the patient care part -- thats the good stuff. If you think that YOU like the feeling of having an adjustment, you should see it from MY side. Its an absolute joy to feel someones spine shift in your hands and know that this person, who has placed all their trust in you, will now get to start moving, feeling, and even thinking better. I love that. The weird part is the difficult cases. The people that come in with se...verely damaged discs, arthritis, degeneration, or worse. Some have the expectation that I can just "put it back in" and everything will magically be better. "Come on, Doc, they say, all my last chiropractor needed was one visit to fix my back." Oh yeah, when was that? "20 years ago." Look, I get it. We are in an age of instant gratification. Im guilty of it myself more than I would like to admit, but its important to remember that most often when you seek out a chiropractor it is because there is an injury to some kind of tissue in the body and injuries of every sort need time to heal. You wouldnt tell the doctor to remove a cast from your broken leg after one week! I tell this to everyone -- Im not a healer. I dont have a magic wand or crystals or colourful potions. I would actually run in the other direction if someone told me they are a healer. No, Im not a healer, but what I am really good at, is putting your body in the best possible state to heal itself. I can say that with all the confidence in the world because I have been guiding people from pain and dysfunction to health and activity for 15 years now. I have safely performed over 130,000 adjustments. Take a moment to think about that number. Have you done anything that many times? Thats why I cringe when people - usually people with some other agenda - claim that chiro is not safe. If youve been thinking about seeing a chiro and you live in Mackay, you are very lucky. You could almost throw a dart at the phone book and land on an incredible chiro. We are very blessed here. But, since this is my Facebook page, Im going to go ahead and invite you to see me (thats me in the photo if you havent already guessed). I cant promise to fix everything thats currently giving you trouble, but I can promise youll get excellent service everywhere from the front desk right up to and including your treatments. Youll also get my promise to do everything within my power to help you. You can book in for a first visit at the website: www.mackaychiropractic.com or ring the office on 4951 4688. You can also download the Mindbody app and make your appointments on there. Thats the one I recommend, by the way - it will make your future bookings easier to schedule. Thanks for reading.

13.01.2022 A great article by the Canberra Spine Centre. . How Chiropractic Can Help? . 1. Optimised Performance... . Chiropractic treatment improves the motion of the spine, thus improving the function of the nervous system it protects. . Proper spinal motion leads to better sensori-motor integration (allowing the brain to take in and appropriately respond to sensory input), thus boosting the body’s overall performance. . In a study by The Journal of the Canadian Chiropractic Association, athletes demonstrated a 6.12 percent performance increase after treatment. . Another study (Lauro A. Mouch B. Chiropractic: The Journal of Chiropractic Research and Clinical Investigation. 1991; 6:84-87) showed a 30 percent improvement in hand-to-eye coordination after only 12 weeks of chiropractic care. . In another study, 18 Brazilian judo athletes were divided into two groups. Half received chiropractic adjustments, while other half did not. . Researchers measured the athletes’ grip strength before and after a short trial of chiropractic treatment. . After three treatment sessions, the athletes in the chiropractic group had an improvement in grip strength of 10% on the left side and 16% on the right side, while untreated athletes did not. . . . . . #owlsofinstagram #adjustment #trainsmart #monkeys #cardiovascular #fisio #hempoil #homespa #painfree #naturalhealing #cbdcures #cryotherapy #accident #golfswing #neckpain #knutsford #dementia #painrelief #physicaltherapist #bodywork #cbdvape #reflexology #naturalhealth #butyoudontlooksick See more

06.01.2022 Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record in Australia. . The Chiropractors’ Association of Australia (CAA) is disturbed by media reports which question the safety and efficacy of chiropractic care. . Both in Australia and around the world chiropractic care is a low risk modality of health care. There have been few if any serious adverse events reported in medical literature in the past twenty years despite utilisation rates for chiropractors increasing significantly i...n this time. In Australia there are more than 12 million visits to chiropractors each year. Over 1 million of these (approximately 8.6 per cent of visits annually) are paediatric visits. . What are the facts about chiropractic safety and efficacy? . 1. The safety record of chiropractic care in Australia is exemplary. . 2. Chiropractic care has a very high expressed satisfaction rate with patients. . 3.

04.01.2022 Kind of worth it though, right?

04.01.2022 [Corona virus update] Its not our intention to feed the panic that we have all been witness to in Mackay, but Covid-19 has us all navigating uncharted territory as we await a vaccine. Toward that end, we ask that all patients of the clinic use a "common-sense" approach when booking. If you are experiencing flu like symptoms such as coughing, runny nose, sore throat, or fever please re-schedule your appointments. If you have returned from an overseas holiday, please wait 14 ...days after your arrival in Australia before booking. We have placed hand sanitiser at the reception desk. Please use it. We are also wiping down the adjustment tables after every patient. I have always washed and/or sanitised my hands after every adjustment. That practice will continue. Even if you are not worried about catching this virus and think all of this is an overreaction, please remember stopping or slowing the spread is about protecting the most vulnerable in the community. It takes everyone working together to effectively flatten the curve of a contagion like this. On a personal note, if things do go badly here like in the USA and around the world and you need help, my number is 0423735556. It does not need to be about your health or chiropractic. It can be about anything. Ill see if I can assist in some way. Lets all be extra kind to each other. -- Jonathan

03.01.2022 I don't usually write about the politically driven nonsense about chiropractic safety, but after all the hoopla over that video of the child getting manipulated and the subsequent inquiry, I feel it's important that the results are made public. Number of children seriously injured by a chiropractor: Exactly 0. Just like I told everyone who asked, because something looks scary, it doesn't mean it's dangerous. If that were true, no one would trust an 80,000 kg tube of metal t...o fly them from Mackay to Brissy. But, just like planes, the incidence of serious injury is statistically non-existent and completely safe no matter how much the media would like to create hysteria. The fact is, with the number of chiropractic adjustments performed on children (and adults) every single day, if there were any danger, then the hospital ERs would be filled with victims. They simply are not. Please don't fear a chiropractic adjustment for yourself or family. It is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. I wonder when the inquiry on over the counter pain medication will begin --- 2000 and never.

02.01.2022 There is nothing quite like nerve pain. It can feel like an intense burning sensation behind the leg. It can send electric signals down the neck and into the arms. Or, it can just be a constant nagging pain that just never goes away. Pressure on a nerve can also cause numbness and tingling in the limbs, a loss of strength, or feelings of fatigue. In many cases, nerve pain originates from damage in the spinal column - most often from injured discs, but sometimes also... involving changes to the bone itself. The Hill DT Spinal Decompression table is a non - surgical solution that can assist in the recovery of these types of spinal column injuries.

Much of the pain felt after an injury comes from the body trying to protect itself through muscle guarding and inflammation. . These intelligent responses are part of the body’s protective mechanisms. . They are designed, in the short-term, to prevent re-injury. . Sometimes these mechanisms persist, and when they do, they prevent your return to normal activity that is associated with healing. .
