Terrace Clinic

Terrace Clinic Terrace Clinic is an AGPAL accredited practice. This clinic would provide a spacious yet warm and welcoming environment to all that entered.

Terrace Clinic came about as an idea between Dr George Pillay and Dr Andrew Jeyaprakash, our principal founders back in November 2004 who envisioned a new clinic to be purpose built adjacent from the Port Pirie Regional Health Service. We moved into our temporary clinic and were joined by Dr Santhosh Vellaiah-Retnaswamy, until the construction of our purpose built premises became a reality in May 2006.

Look at moi ploise. When it’s cold out, you’re less likely to feel the need to quench your thirst like you would on a hot day.
No matter the weather, it’s important to keep up your fluid intake, especially if you have been unwell or feel like you are starting to get sick.
How much fluid you need will depend on your exercise levels, weight, medication requirements and if you are breastfeeding.
Staying healthy is nice, it’s different, it’s unusual. For more tips, visit sahealth.sa.gov.au/winterwellness

Hepatitis C is a virus that is transmitted through blood-to-blood contact.
Untreated hepatitis C can cause serious liver disease, including cancer. Often there are no symptoms.
The good news is that hepatitis C can be cured.
Treatment is simple, safe, and has changed the lives of thousands of South Australians already.
Treatment involves taking oral tablets daily for 8 to 12 weeks. Most people have little to no side effects.
If you think you might have hepatitis C, speak with your doctor and get tested.

Guilty of any of these? 👀 Getting enough sleep each day is one of the most important things we can do for our health.
It makes us feel better, more alert, energetic, and improves our ability to concentrate and perform our daily tasks.
If you’re having trouble getting a good night’s sleep, there are a lot of things you can try to help:
✔️ stick to regular sleep patterns
✔️ avoid using your computer or phone during your ‘bedtime routine’
✔️ avoid tea, coffee, and caffeinated soft drinks before going to bed
✔️ exercise during the day, but not right before bed
✔️ if you can’t fall asleep, get out of bed and try again in an hour.

Lying awake with night sweats, forgetting words, experiencing mood swings or feeling anxious? These may be symptoms related to a change in your hormone levels.
These symptoms can occur when your hormone levels change during perimenopause or menopause. You can also experience these symptoms if you have changed or stopped your hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medication.
A change in your hormone levels can affect your body and mental wellbeing.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, speak with your GP, pharmacist or gynaecologist.
If you or someone you know is feeling distressed or needs support, call Lifeline on 13 11 14, Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636 or Mental Health Triage on 13 14 65.

Be honest... are you slouching right now?
Your posture is more than just how you sit or stand. It is an important part of your long-term health.
Bad posture can cause or worsen back pain, general aches and pains, muscle tiredness and other health problems.
It helps to take breaks when sitting for long periods of time, wear flat and well-fitting shoes, and find a chair with the right back support.
If you’re experiencing low back pain, there are ways you can help at home. To see more tips, visit www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/lowbackpain

Moving more doesn’t have to mean adding an hour at the gym every night. You can make a difference with small changes, even during your work day.
• Need to pass a message on to somebody in your workplace? Visit them in person rather than an email or phone call
• Workplace on a higher floor? Skip the lift and find the stairs, even if it’s only part way.
• Resist the urge to eat lunch at your desk/worksite/staff room and go for a quick walk – even 10 minutes is good!
• Let people know in meetings that it’s fine to stand up and stretch throughout
