🔎 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 Bayside Chiropractic on (02) 9523 9940 to book your SIJ evaluation and start your recovery.

If the inside surface of your lungs could be stretched out flat, it would cover an area of approximately 100 square metres!

That’s a lot of surface area for efficient gas exchange. Your lungs are incredible at what they do, getting oxygen into your blood with impressive speed and efficiency. 🫁

And when your spine is aligned properly, it can help ensure that those lungs have plenty of room to expand fully, making every breath count! But if it’s a bit kinked up, we’re here to help with that. Call Bayside Chiropractic on (02) 9523 9940 to book your chiropractic check-up.

📊 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�🧗‍♀️ Take the stairs when it’s safe to do so�🚗 Park a bit further away from the door�☕ Stretch while the kettle boils�🍲 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.

Word of the Day: Epicondyle 🦴
�/ˈɛp.ɪ.kɒn.daɪl/

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. 🏌️‍♀️ If you’ve got pain around these areas, chiropractic care may help relieve tension, improve joint alignment, and support healing. 📞 Call us for an appointment on (02) 9523 9940 at Bayside Chiropractic. We’re always here to help.

What’s That Crack? 🥂💥

Ever hear a pop or crack when you move a joint and think, “Did I just unknowingly uncork a bottle of champagne 🥂?” Or, more likely – “what even was that!?!”

That popping sound comes from cavitation, a natural phenomenon where gas bubbles in the synovial fluid of your joints are released as the joint moves. It’s a sign of the joint becoming freer and less restricted!

Chiropractors often use adjustments that can create a similar pop, but don’t worry — it’s just your body saying “cheers” to better mobility and less tension. So next time you hear a crack, raise a glass (of water, of course) to improved joint health!

How Can We Help with Whiplash? 🚗💥

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 Bayside Chiropractic on (02) 9523 9940 to book an appointment. Your spine will thank you.�
