23.01.2022 Who knew treatment for varicose and spider veins was so accessible and non-invasive?! One of the most popular services at @theartofveincare is Sclerotherapy, where a sclerosant (foam) is injected into the spider or varicose vein by ultrasound guided needle. The foam breaks down the ineffective vein, causing it to collapse and disappear. This procedure is low risk and the number of treatments required will depend on the severity of your varicose or spider veins. Book in to see Dr Huber for a consultation to discuss this minimally invasive treatment for unsightly varicose and spider veins today on 4601 1055.

20.01.2022 WORKING FROM HOME TIPS We're all adjusting to the new normal and one of the benefits we are seeing is increased flexibility in work arrangements. Here are some tips for maintaining productivity in your home environment: - Make a plan for the day before you start work. Block out time periods and dedicate them to individual tasks.... - Take regular breaks. Stop for a coffee, step outside into the sunshine or go for a brief walk on your lunch break. - Remember to drink plenty of water. - Try to alternate between sitting and standing. The same as in the office, sitting for extended periods of time is bad for your hips and spine. Try to maximise standing or ask your employer about investing in a standing desk. Have you got any working from home tips? See more

This will detail any preventative and reliever medications and what to do in an emergency situation if symptoms become worse. Head in to Providence Medical to see a GP and then pickup your asthma medication from TerryWhite Chemmart Gregory Hills - Pharmacy afterwards.

03.01.2022 It's understandable to be feeling out of sorts and not yourself at the moment. Quarantine, isolation and social distancing are concepts that are unnatural to humans and so far 2020 has been a huge adjustment for most.

Keep an eye out for symptoms of stress, anxiety or depression. Remember to go easy on yourself in these unprecedented times. What tools have helped you feel your best so far this year? For us it's been finding enjoyment in staying in, cooking and learning new skills (hello, home-improvement!)
