Word of the Month: Geriatric 👵🧓

/ˌdʒɛr.iˈæt.rɪk/

Let’s clear something up… geriatric isn’t just a fancy word for “old.” It comes from the Greek gēras (meaning old age) and iatros (meaning healer or physician). First coined in the early 1900s, it literally means “healing of the aged.”

In healthcare, geriatric care refers to the specialised support of older adults, focusing on mobility, balance, joint health, and independence. And chiropractic care has a growing role here.

With gentle, tailored techniques, chiropractors can support age-related issues like spinal stiffness, posture changes, or general aches and pains - without medication or invasive treatment. Call us for an appointment or go online!

Because aging is inevitable - but discomfort doesn’t have to be.

Tension headaches: When stress hits your neck, not just your mind 🤯💥

A dull, pressing pain around your temples or the back of your head? It could be a tension headache - and it’s one of the most common types out there.

Often triggered by stress, poor posture, or jaw clenching, tension headaches are linked to tight muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. When those muscles become overworked or strained, they can refer pain up into the head.

Chiropractic care may help relieve discomfort by addressing the muscle tension, joint stiffness, and spinal misalignment that contribute to these headaches. We’ll also help you identify postural habits or lifestyle factors that might be setting them off.

Because less tension = fewer headaches = better days.
Sick of powering through with pain? Call us or go online to book! We’re here to help 🤲

😣 Pain at the base of your skull? You could be dealing with a tension headache — one of the most common (and most frustrating) types of headache.

Often described as a dull, tight pressure or band-like ache, tension headaches can build up from the neck and shoulders, especially after long hours at a desk, poor posture, stress, or muscle fatigue.

When the muscles at the base of the skull become tense or irritated, they can refer pain into the head — making it feel like your whole skull is under pressure.

Our chiropractors assess spinal alignment, posture, and muscle tension to help relieve the underlying causes — not just the symptoms.

Call us or go online to make an appointment and find out how we can help ease the pressure.

🔎 Stiff, aching back that worsens when you twist or lean back? You might be dealing with facet arthropathy — a type of spinal joint degeneration that can feel a lot like your back’s complaining about years of hard work (because it probably is).

Your facet joints sit at the back of each vertebra and help control movement. Over time, these joints can wear down — due to age, poor posture, repetitive strain, or past injury — leading to inflammation, stiffness, and pain, particularly with extension or rotation.

It’s often felt in the lower back or neck, and can sometimes mimic other conditions like disc issues. That’s why a proper assessment is key.

Chiropractors aim to improve joint mobility, reduce inflammation, and restore movement through hands-on care, posture advice, and tailored exercise strategies.
Call us or go online to book with one of our chiropractors and get those joints moving more freely again.

Earhart was a pioneer who understood that taking the first step is often the hardest. And while it’s not quite the same as a pioneering flight, taking control of your health does take courage.

Of course, back pain has a way of making even the simplest decision feel like flying across the Atlantic blindfolded. But once you take that first step — whether it’s calling us or just admitting your spine’s not what it used to be — things can start to shift.

You don’t need to be a record-breaking aviator to make bold moves for your health. You just need a spine that’s not fighting you every time you stand up.
Call us or go online to book an appointment with one of our chiropractors and take off in a better direction! ✈️

🤔 Ever feel like your hips are tilted, one foot hits the ground harder, or your lower back aches for no clear reason?
You might have a leg length discrepancy — where one leg is slightly shorter than the other. Sometimes it’s structural (due to bone length), but more often it’s functional — caused by muscular imbalances, pelvic tilt, or spinal alignment.
Even a small difference can put stress on your hips, knees, or lower back over time — especially if you’re active or on your feet a lot.

👣 Chiropractors assess how your spine and pelvis are moving, look at posture and gait, and work to restore alignment. In some cases, small changes in mobility or muscle tension can significantly reduce the effect of a functional discrepancy.

Call us or go online to make an appointment with one of our chiropractors — and take the pressure off every step.

🟦 Box Breathing: Calm in Four Counts

Feeling tense? Whether you’re stuck in traffic or hunched over a desk, your breath can be a powerful reset button.

Here’s how it works: breathe in slowly for four seconds, hold your breath for four seconds, then breathe out for four seconds, and pause again for four seconds before repeating. Keeping your breath steady and controlled like this helps to reset your nervous system and ease muscle tension.

As chiropractors, we know stress often shows up in your posture and spinal health. Trying box breathing during your next break might just be the little reset your body needs. 😌

📊 Global Rates of Degenerative Spine Disease

Did you know that every year, around 266 million people worldwide (3.63% of the global population) are diagnosed with lumbar degenerative spine disease? This common condition can cause back pain, stiffness, and mobility issues that affect daily life and wellbeing.

If you’re experiencing persistent back discomfort, don’t just tough it out. That might seem like the easy option – life is busy and sometimes magic happens, and problems just sort themselves out. 🤞But ignoring persistent back pain can lead to worsening symptoms, reduced mobility, and a lower quality of life. Degenerative changes in the spine often won’t improve on their own. Early assessment and treatment by a chiropractor can help manage pain, maintain function, and slow progression — so you can keep moving comfortably and avoid more serious problems down the line.

Call us or go online to book an appointment with one of our chiropractors! 🙌

🦴 Word of the Day: Femur

From the Latin femur, meaning thigh, this bone isn’t just long — it’s legendary. The femur is the longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in your body. It supports your weight when you stand, walk, run, or awkwardly lunge to pick up a sock.

Fun fact = The femur can withstand up to 30 times your body weight in force. That’s more than concrete — but don’t test it!
Although chiropractors focus on the spine and nervous system, we take the whole kinetic chain seriously. Your femur connects directly to the pelvis, and poor hip alignment can affect your posture, lower back, and even the way you walk.

Trouble with hip movement? Knee pain that doesn’t make sense? It might all trace back to the top of your thighbone. Call us or go online to book an appointment with one of our chiropractors.

🛠️ Tradies Health Month is a timely reminder: your tools are tough — but your body isn’t indestructible.

Long hours, heavy lifting, awkward positions, and repetitive strain can all take a toll on your spine, shoulders, knees, and joints. A few niggles now can turn into chronic pain down the line if you just “push through it.”

Chiropractic care aims to keep your body aligned, moving well, and performing at its best — so you can get the job done without breaking down in the process.

Call us or go online to book with one of our chiropractors and give your body the support it deserves — on and off the tools.

🔎 Understanding SIJ Dysfunction

Sacroiliac Joint (SIJ) dysfunction can be a hidden cause of lower back and hip pain. Located where the spine meets the pelvis, the SI joints are crucial for transferring weight between the upper body and legs. When something goes awry—like misalignment or inflammation—pain can radiate through the lower back, hips, and even down the legs.

Common causes of SIJ dysfunction include:
👉 Injury or trauma (such as a fall or car accident)
👉 Pregnancy (due to hormonal changes and increased pelvic laxity)
👉 Poor posture or abnormal gait
👉 Muscle imbalances or weakness

Our chiropractors work to realign the SI joints, reduce inflammation, and relieve discomfort. If you’re dealing with persistent pain call us or go online to book your SIJ evaluation and start your recovery 🙌
