24.01.2022 Were sorry you couldnt book an appointment last week, but we did have a good excuse... Dr Lauren and Dr Alastair were busy getting married! This photo was taken by friend of ECC, the amazing Anne of White Shutter Photography (she is the lady responsible for all of our website pictures). Were back to normal hours now.

22.01.2022 We came in this morning to find Ellie climbing the spine! Did you know that the spine is made of 33 individual bones that stack one on top of another!? Ellie is hanging about in the thoracic region!

21.01.2022 OIL OF THE MONTH This month Ellie from In Your Element Kinesiology & Wellbeing has selected for us a fresh and delightful oil blend called 'Easy Air'. 'Easy AIr' contains a mix of laurel leaf, eucalyptus, peppermint, melaleuca (tea tree), lemon, ravensara and cardamon seed oil and is designed to promote feeling of clear airways and easy breathing. This blend has been said to help let go of grief and pain and make us feel loved and cared for allowing us to fully open and embrace life. Interested to know more about essential oils and how they can be used? Ellie will be running a workshop on Thursday 24th March at 7:00pm right here at the clinic! Spots are limited so call (03) 9531 3570 or pop in to book!

20.01.2022 This study showed that children's screen time was linked to changes in their white matter as shown on MRI. The more screen time a child had meant poorer expressive language and slower language processing speed!

20.01.2022 Dr Lauren is checking spines at the Pregnancy, Babies and Children's expo again today with the lovely gang from Flemington Chiropractic. If you're coming down pop in and say hi!

18.01.2022 New scratch and sniff stickers! Not sure who was more excited - the kids in the clinic today, or Dr Lauren!

17.01.2022 It's real! Even though most every pregnant mama to be could have told you so, Australian researchers have confirmed that 'baby brain' really exists.

15.01.2022 Dr Leila Masson (Pediatrician) on some of the emerging research on the effects of chemicals in products we use every day. As she mentioned, there is still more research to be done in this area, but when its so easy to switch to a more natural option - would you risk it?

15.01.2022 A cheeky little elf has made her way to Elwood Chiropractic Centre... meet Ellie!

15.01.2022 So what causes the popping sound you might hear as youre being adjusted? Its all just GAS! Or more accurately the sudden release of gases around the joint being adjusted - as simple as that! As to what causes the gases to make this sound is also simple: most of our joints, particularly the spinal joints, are lubricated by a thick substance called synovial fluid. This fluid ensures smoothness of movement and cushioning of the joint from shock and stresses. It essentially per...mits a silky action for the joint, reducing friction on the bone through all its planes of movement. As with most fluids there are air bubbles (carbon dioxide and nitrogen) contained within this flowing substance. As your chiropractor carries out the adjustment the joint opens and releases the gases with a pop. The fluid then returns to its proper location around the joint and continues to carry out its function of lubrication and carrying waste products away from the area. The proper name for the popping sound is cavitation. Not so scary once you know huh! If you still cant stand the noise, our chiropractors have lots of techniques that dont avoid cavitations - just let them know!

14.01.2022 Ever wondered which produce was most important to buy organic?

13.01.2022 We are sorry if you have been trying to book online - our website is having technical difficulties! We have our internet minions working on it (because we all know Dr L and Dr A are pretty useless at that kind of stuff!)and will be back online soon! Meanwhile please call the clinic on 9531 3570 for bookings!

13.01.2022 When walking into our clinic one of the fist things people often ask is 'What's That SMELL?' For anyone who hasn't been in lately no, they aren't asking what you're thinking. They're really asking 'mmmm what is that delicious aromatherapy concoction pouring out of the ultrasonic vaporiser?' The answer is it's our own little blend of orange, lime, cinnamon and jasmine essential oils. Aromatherapically (yep that's a word now) Orange oil is used for calming young children and r...eceiving stress. Lime oil is supposedly great for muscle tension and cramps, while Jasmine is used for fertility and stress related conditions. research at Wheeling Jesuit University in the United States has shown that the smell of cinnamon increases BRAIN ACTIVITY! To mix up this blend at home add equal parts of each oil (usually a few drops of each will do it) to your oil burner or vaporiser! Or pop in soon to have a sniff yourself :) Note: pure jasmine oil is really potent (and expensive) so is usually sold in a carrier oil. Our is 3% in Jojoba oil.

12.01.2022 WATER. How much do you really need? Its hot outside today. So most of us have probably increased our water intake, but have you ever stopped to wonder how much your body actually needs? Our body is made up of nearly 75% water. Every cell needs it, but were constantly losing it through respitation, perspiration and excretion and it needs to be replenished regularly. Unfortunately the old rule of 8 glasses per day doesnt quite cut it. So then how much, you ask? This depend...s on several factors your lifestyle, weight, overall level of health, the climate in which you live and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We find a good place to start is usuing the following equation: your body weight in kg divided by 0.024 how many millilitres of water your body requires each day. For example if you weigh 75kg the equation would look like this 75kg/0.024 = 3125mL or 3.125L - its quite a bit huh! So get drinking! See more

07.01.2022 We are still open as normal and are here for you and your family. We value the health and wellbeing of you, the wider community and of course ourselves. We have closely followed the Australian Government, Department of Health and WHO updates on the ever-evolving COVID-19 virus and want to reassure you that we have put in extra health measures at the clinic. Our kids play area and magazine rack have been packed up for the time being. Yes even our beloved gorilla Coco is pr...acticing social distancing. We are maintaining our high standards of hygiene. Our table and equipment are being sanitised between every appointment. You are welcome to use hand sanitiser (on front desk) or soap and water (chiro room or bathroom) to wash your hands before/after your visit. Our practitioners will also be washing their hands before and after each client. We pride ourselves on running on time and not making you wait for your appointment, however we will be making an extra effort to schedule visits to avoid making you wait in the waiting area.

06.01.2022 Spring has sprung & finally Melbournes weather is catching up! Unfortunately there still seems to be lots of cold and flu bugs lurking around. Did you know that 70 80% of your immune system is actually located in your gut? Your diet and the overall functioning of your digestive system will affect your immune system. Probiotics not only help with digestion, but there are some specific strains that have been shown to help boost your immune function. We stock high quality, practitioner only probiotics containing these at Elwood Chiropractic Centre. We even have one specifically for kids!

05.01.2022 YAY! The internet minions have worked their magic and we are back online for bookings! We apologise for any inconvenience.
