25.01.2022 Are you worried about how much time your kids spend on electronic devices? Devices like smart phones, tablets and laptops are leading to more cases of postural strain in our young population than ever before. To reduce the risk of your child’s spine feeling the strain, limit their time spent on the device each day and ensure they put it down, get up and move every 30-45 minutes. . And that goes for adults too! How many hours do you spend on screens each day? .... . #chiropractic #chiro #technology #screentime #movement #ringwood #yarrambat #flochiro #flochiroaus #health #wellness #riversofyarrambat #chiropractormelbourne #flochiropractic See more

15.01.2022 Ever wondered why we might want to see an x-ray on a part of your body? X-rays are great for showing us the condition of your bones and joint surfaces.

14.01.2022 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 #ringwood #yarrambat #flochiro #flochiroaus #health #wellness #riversofyarrambat #chiropractormelbourne #flochiropractic #lowbackpain #soreback See more

04.01.2022 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 #ringwood #yarrambat #flochiro #flochiroaus #health #wellness #riversofyarrambat #chiropractormelbourne #flochiropractic

02.01.2022 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is caused when the nerve that passes through a small tunnel in your wrist becomes compressed. The nerve shares the tunnel with tendons from muscles in the forearm, and if the tissues around the tendons become inflamed, they can swell causing the space to become smaller, compressing the nerve. . If you experience numbness, tingling, burning or pain in the hand or fingers, book an appointment today!
