24.01.2022 "But I didn't do anything! Why did my back just go out?" I get asked this question at least once a day. Here is the answer...... For more info download our free guide to back pain here: https://chwc.com.au/back-pain-report/ Or book a consultation here: https://chwc.com.au/lower-back-pain/

21.01.2022 Here are some simple exercises you can do at home, with no equipment to support your postural muscles and get moving. I recommend doing them as often as you c...an. If you are desk-bound or sitting a lot, do them multiple times a day. Work within a pain-free limit - that is, do what you can do comfortably. Don't hurt yourself. If you have any questions or need variations to suit your needs, comment below and we will reach out via PM to help. As the saying goes "Don't wait till you are thirsty to dig the well". It may not prevent you from getting sick, but surely being as strong and resilient as possible has to be a good thing right?

17.01.2022 Nerve pain can give people 'weird' feelings. Some people get sharp, stabbing pain or electric jolts. Others deep, dull, aching pains.

17.01.2022 ***We are open as usual*** By now, you'll hopefully be aware, that our current climate has been affected by the outbreak of a virus known as COVID-19, or the Coronavirus. With the world at the mercy of the media, all of us at your Chiropractic Health & Wellness Centre want to do our part to educate you on the Coronavirus and staying healthy.... Let's start with a few top tips to ensure you're putting your body in the best position to fend off these viruses: Wash Hands - Wash your hands with soap and water often, for at least 20 seconds a time. Use Tissues - Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze. Vitamin C - Vitamin C is a great way to boost your immune system, whether you take supplements or stock up on your fruit and veg. Immune booster supplements found in chemists and pharmacies and your local naturopath. Let your immune system do the work! We may not be able to completely prevent illness, but there are certainly ways you may lessen the severity or duration of your time under the weather or in pain. And that’s something anyone can be happy with, right? Here at Chiropractic Health & Wellness Centre, we wanted to reassure every client in our community that we are taking all necessary precautions in our clinics (in accordance with The Australian Government): We are wiping down our treatment beds between every client. We are encouraging our clients to book in advance and pay in advance for their care to reduce time spent in the waiting areas. Oil diffusers are running to help sanitize the air. Hand sanitiser has been made available at the front desks of each of our clinics. We are doing weekly deep cleans in each of our clinics. We are ensuring we have open windows to allow circulation and keep the fresh air flowing. Gloves will be provided to those who would like to use them. Educational leaflets have been printed and are now available at our front desks, to help educate you on the virus. We all need to take responsible action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and so if you are displaying any specific Coronavirus symptoms, please call us to reschedule and follow advice to look after yourselves. By taking a few sensible precautions and working together, we can reduce the effects of the infection and reduce the disruption to daily life! To reassure you: 99% of people tested in Australia were NEGATIVE! 92% of people who have had the virus have recovered! 80% of people who currently have the virus are in a mild condition (advised to stay at home, relax!). 15% of people will have moderate symptoms 5% will have severe symptoms As we always do, and always have done, we are putting the health of our clients at the upmost of our importance. We as your health providers have so much gratitude for putting your faith in us for so many years. We will continue to do our part to support you and your health. Keep healthy, and remember, we've got your back.

15.01.2022 Bad posture can lead to neck pain and headaches, mid back pain, low back pain and sciatica. In fact, the wrong posture can even affect your lung capacity! But it's not because we are lazy and "will power" alone will not fix it.... Just try telling someone to "sit up straight". They will do it for 1 minute or so, but then they will fall back into the bad posture. Its because we naturally follow the "path of least resistance". For many people, it's just not comfortable to hold the correct posture because they are 'fighting' their own structure. A better option is making it just as "comfortable and easy" to hold the correct posture. That way you don't have to "think" about it - you just do it. We have just put together a 26 page guide on "Banishing Bad Posture". It's full of exercises and handy tips to make the 'right posture' easy. For a FREE copy simply type Posture in the comments below and we will send it to you ASAP!

15.01.2022 Bad posture is not because we are lazy. Its because its not comfortable! If you want to improve your posture, you need to change your structure. Years of text neck or sitting at a computer or driving a truck leads to some muscles weakening and others becoming over tight. This puts pressure on other muscles and ligaments and joints leading to stiffness and pain. Here are some simple exercises most people can do at home either on the floor or standing up.... I just put together a 26 page book called "Banish Bad Posture". If you would like a FREE copy, type POSTURE in the comments below.

11.01.2022 We can help slow the spreaad of COVID 19 by following the governments advice - washing our hands, coughing into our arm, reducing physical contact. Your best defence against COVID-19 is and always has been a healthy immune system and body. Now is the time to bolster and increase our healthy habits;... Drink 2-3 litres of water Exercise Get plenty of fresh air and sunlight Eat fresh nutritious foods like plenty of fresh veges and fruits and lean meats. Avoid sugar, alcohol and processed foods. Stay in touch! Tell someone you love them. Let people know you are thinking about them. Let it go - stress will dampen your immune system. Focus on the things you can control, and let go of those you cant. Be a leader. Be apart of the solution, and lead by example.

11.01.2022 Do I have to get cracked??? We hear that a lot. The short answer is no. We care for people of all ages and body types. This means we see 120kg 20yr old football players, as well as beautiful elderly ladies in their 90's. We care for them individually and will use different techniques accordingly like manual adjustments (where you hear the 'pop') and instrument adjusting where you don't hear any 'pop' at all.... The sound actually comes from small gas bubbles forming in the synovial fluid which lubricates the joint a lot like oil. If your interested in learning more about this check out our blog post here: https://chwc.com.au/does-cracking-your-joints-give-you-ar/

Drink 2-3 litres of fresh water daily Exercise - walk, cycle, body weight exercise Eat fresh nutritious food Stay connected with loved ones - even if its facetime, facebook, show someone you care.
