We were so touched to receive these beautiful flowers from our work experience student last week.

It’s such a privilege to be part of someone’s journey as they explore a future in healthcare. Seeing the next generation take an interest in helping others is something we never take for granted.

Thank you for your kindness — you absolutely made our week.

Why does your back pain keep coming back?

Sometimes… it’s not a muscle problem.

When a disc is involved, pressure can remain in the spine—
even if things feel better temporarily.

That’s why you can end up in a cycle of relief… then the pain returns.

Understanding the cause is key.

Spinal decompression may help by gently reducing pressure on the disc and surrounding nerves.

Pain down your leg? It’s not always “just your back.”

Sciatica happens when a nerve is irritated or compressed — often linked to a disc in the lower spine.

You might notice:
• Pain travelling down the leg
• Tingling or numbness
• Ongoing stiffness that doesn’t settle

The important part?
Understanding why it’s happening — not just chasing the symptoms.

At My Chiropractor Mackay City, we take the time to assess what’s really going on.
In some cases, spinal decompression may be recommended to gently reduce pressure on the disc and surrounding nerves, and support better movement.

It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about the right approach for your body.

If this sounds familiar, it might be time to get it properly checked.

A big shout out to the team at Hip Pocket Workwear & Safety Mackay 👏

They did an incredible job creating Jason’s shirt for Dancing with Heart the other week — it looked fantastic on the night and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

From the quality to the attention to detail, they made the whole process easy and delivered exactly what we were hoping for.

We love supporting local businesses, and these guys are definitely worth it 🙌

Thank you again!

Getting the Easter Bunny ready for a busy weekend.

All that hopping around can take a toll… so we’re helping him take the pressure off before the big day.

Even the Easter Bunny benefits from spinal decompression.

We’ll be taking a short break over Easter. Closed Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday.

Wishing all our patients a happy, safe and chocolate-filled weekend.

As we celebrate Easter, may you be reminded of the hope, renewal and new life it represents.

It’s just a tight muscle…”
Not always

If your back pain keeps coming back…
or travels down your leg…

It could be a bulging disc

Discs don’t behave like muscles.
And when there’s pressure on a nerve, symptoms can stick around longer than you expect.

If it’s not improving… it might be time to look deeper.

That tight muscle in your back… might not be a muscle.

We hear this all the time at My Chiropractor. Patients come in saying: " I think I've just got a tight hamstring. My back just feels stiff. It keeps coming back no matter how much I stretch."

But often… there's something deeper going on.

It could be a bulging disc.

Your spinal discs act like cushions between the bones in your spine. When one starts to bulge, it can place pressure on nearby nerves — and that's when you may start to notice ongoing back or neck pain, sciatica, numbness or tingling, and stiffness that just won't shift.

And here's the tricky part. Discs don't heal the same way muscles do. They don't have a strong blood supply. So the problem can linger.

So what can help?

At My Chiropractor Mackay City, we use Spine MT-Core spinal decompression as part of a complete care approach.

It works by gently reducing pressure within the disc — helping to take pressure off irritated nerves, improve spinal movement, and support your body's natural healing processes.

And yes… it's incredibly relaxing. We've even caught patients falling asleep.

The key takeaway: if your pain keeps coming back, or just isn't improving with stretching alone… it might be time to look deeper.

We’re feeling really grateful for the people who make our clinic what it is 💙

Dr Rod has been caring for the Mackay community since 2005, and so many of our patients know him not just as their chiropractor, but as someone they genuinely trust. He has a real interest in supporting people with disc and nerve-related back and neck pain, and always takes a calm, considered approach to care.

We love that many of his patients have been with him for years, a reflection of the relationships he’s built over time.

Outside the clinic, he’s usually training, coaching, or keeping active — practising what he encourages in others.

Dr Rod is with us all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings and all day Friday.

Ever wondered what people do during spinal decompression?

Well… we didn’t expect this

Some patients drift off to sleep…
Some listen to music or an audiobook…
And lately… quite a few have been caught reading kids’ books

Not going to lie — we’ve had everything from Spot the Dog to fairy tales making an appearance.

But honestly? We love it.

Because while it might look a little funny…
everyone agrees on one thing —
it’s incredibly relaxing.

Your body switches off…
your spine gets the support it needs…
and you might even enjoy a good story along the way

What is spinal decompression?

Spinal decompression is a gentle, controlled therapy designed to reduce pressure on discs and nerves, improve movement, and support your body’s natural healing.

Curious what you’d do during decompression?
Come find out — your spine (and your inner child) will thank you.

You can book a Spinal Decompression Suitability Appointment to discuss with our Chiropractors if Spinal Decompression is right for you.

What an incredible night! ✨

We were so proud and excited to sponsor Jason Environmental in this year’s Dancing with Heart.

Not only did he light up the stage, but he was part of something so much bigger—raising vital funds for Mackay My Hospital Foundation and supporting the amazing work they do in our community.

At My Chiropractor, we’re passionate about helping people feel their best—but being able to support initiatives that make a real difference beyond our clinic is something truly special.

Jason, you absolutely smashed it
And to everyone involved in this incredible event—what a night of energy, heart, and community spirit!

Here’s to stronger bodies, healthier communities, and getting behind causes that matter.
