📊 Statistic of the Month: Neck Pain Around the World

Neck pain isn’t just a local problem—it’s global. In 2017, the age-standardised incidence of neck pain was 807 per 100,000 people worldwide. That’s hundreds of thousands of people developing neck pain every year, across all age groups and regions.

It’s one of the leading musculoskeletal complaints, and it can seriously affect quality of life, sleep, and productivity. If neck pain is affecting your day, chiropractic care may help relieve pressure, restore mobility, and support long-term recovery.

Whether you’re smashing your PB at the gym, or just stretching during ad breaks, every bit of movement matters. And it’s not just about muscles — it’s about circulation, joint health, bone density, stress relief, and even recovery. Yes, gentle movement is one of the best forms of recovery after strenuous movement. (Go figure!)

And it doesn’t have to take time you don’t have. Try these simple ways to sneak more movement into your day:

📞 Walk while you talk—phone calls are a perfect time to pace
đŸ§—â€â™€ïž Take the stairs when it’s safe to do so
🚗 Park a bit further away from the door
☕ Stretch while the kettle boils
đŸČ Do bodyweight exercises in one-minute bursts—lunges while your lunch heats up, or wall press-ups between meetings

Sore back? Stiff shoulders? A chiropractic check-in may help you move more comfortably, which means you’re more likely to move more often!

đŸ’„ Erector Spinae Muscle Strain
The erector spinae muscles run along both sides of your spine and play a crucial role in supporting your posture, allowing you to bend, twist, and extend your back. When these muscles are overstretched or overworked—whether from poor posture, heavy lifting, or sudden movements—they can strain, causing pain, stiffness, and discomfort in the lower back.

Symptoms of an erector spinae strain include:
🌀 Sharp or dull pain in the lower back
đŸ§± Stiffness and difficulty moving or bending
đŸ’„ Muscle spasms
🔄 Pain that worsens with certain activities (like lifting, bending, or twisting)

Our chiropractors are here to help; We work to assess and treat the root cause of the strain, reduce pain, improve muscle function, and restore your range of motion.

Call us or go online to book an appointment with one of our experienced chiropractors today and let’s work to get you feeling strong and pain-free as soon as possible.

Word of the Day: Epicondyle 🩮

/ˈɛp.ÉȘ.kɒn.daÉȘl/

From the Greek epi- (upon) and kondylos (knuckle). But no, it’s not the kind you crack!

An epicondyle is a bony projection found above a joint, typically where muscles and ligaments attach.You’ll find them at the elbow and knee—think medial epicondylitis (itis of epicondyle) better known as golfer’s elbow. đŸŒïžâ€â™€ïž If you’ve got pain around these areas, chiropractic care may help relieve tension, improve joint alignment, and support healing. 📞 Call us or book online, we’re always here to help!

How Can We Help with Whiplash? đŸš—đŸ’„

Whiplash isn’t just a sore neck — it’s a complex chain reaction of forces that impacts your spine and nervous system. When the head is suddenly jolted forward, the delicate structures of the neck, including the vertebrae, muscles, and ligaments, can be overstretched or misaligned. This results in pain, stiffness, and sometimes headaches that seem to appear out of nowhere.

Chiropractic care helps restore spinal alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and release muscle tension — all of which can speed up recovery. By addressing the root cause, we can help you bounce back quicker and prevent future issues.

Got whiplash? Call us or go online to book an appointment. Your spine will thank you. 🙌

The spine isn’t just a stack of bones — it houses the spinal cord - the main line of communication between your brain and body. Every movement, sensation and organ response relies on those signals🚩travelling through this network. But when spinal joints lose mobility, it can interfere.

Chiropractic care works to restore movement and support optimal nervous system function — helping to keep that highway clear. Curious about how well your spine is moving? Call or go online to book an appointment!

The impact of technology on posture đŸ€łđŸ§ 

It’s not just how long we use devices — it’s how our bodies adapt to them. Repeated smartphone and laptop use is driving structural changes: forward head posture, spinal flexion, even shortening of deep neck flexors. Over time, your brain starts to recalibrate where “upright” is — so slouching starts to feel normal. That’s altered proprioception (your sense of where you are in space). Basically, your body’s built-in GPS loses signal.

Chiropractic care works to restore healthy alignment and helps your nervous system find its bearings again. Call us or go online to make an appointment with our chiropractors. đŸ€Č

Word of the Month: Disc 💿

From the Greek diskos, meaning “quoit” or “flat circular object,” the word disc entered medical use in the 18th century to describe the cartilaginous cushions between vertebrae. Intervertebral discs absorb shock and allow movement in the spine — but if they degenerate or herniate, pain often follows.

Chiropractic care works to support spinal alignment and mobility, which may help relieve disc-related discomfort and improve overall function.

How Can We Help with IT Band Syndrome? đŸŠ”

If you’re experiencing pain along the outside of your thigh or knee, it could be IT Band Syndrome — an overuse injury that affects the iliotibial band, the thick tissue running down the side of your leg. While it might seem like a lower-body issue, the root cause can often be traced to misalignment or dysfunction in the spine and pelvis.

Chiropractic care aims to restore balance to the spine and pelvis, reducing stress on the IT band and preventing further strain. By addressing spinal misalignments and improving biomechanics, we can work to reduce pain and prevent recurring issues.

Call or go online to book an appointment and get to the root of your IT band pain.

Statistic of the Month: Joint replacement success đŸŠ”đŸ“Š

Joint replacement surgery boasts a 90% success rate in improving pain and function (Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2021). But before reaching the operating table, many people explore conservative care — and rightly so.

Chiropractic care can play a key role in prehab (pre-surgical support) and rehab (post-surgical recovery), working to improve joint function, reduce strain on surrounding tissues, and sometimes delay or even avoid surgery altogether.

Considering your options? Call us to see how we may help support your joint health.
