📸 Behind the Scenes!

Dr. David with our feature article in The Australian Chiropractor Magazine, December 2024! 🧠

In this piece, we explore 5 key lessons chiropractic care can extract from sports for assessing and managing mTBI:
1️⃣ Whiplash and concussion often overlap—both require assessment.
2️⃣ The 6 subtypes of concussion call for a comprehensive, multimodal approach.
3️⃣ Testing spans three categories: subjective symptoms, bedside exams, and high-tech objective measures.
4️⃣ Always consider patient reliability based on their personal goals & stay objective.
5️⃣ Don’t skip cervical spine rehab—it’s essential and Chiropractors key!

Stay tuned for more insights! 🙌

Bottom Line:
You don’t need to be a pro athlete to have a desire to perform your best, but the link between Chiropractic and performance was discovered by some of the most popular athletes in the world. The difference between winning and losing is often razor thin, and athletes are always on the lookout for anything that can help them perform their best. What used to be a “secret” of athletes like Babe Ruth over 60 years ago has now become the standard for nearly every professional sports team. Chiropractic care is a crucial part of the team, helping athletes stay in the game and perform their best.

Why it Matters:
Performing your best starts with feeling good. Simply put, you can’t perform your best in pain, and Chiropractic care is a safe and effective way to help reduce discomfort. Over the past ten years, researchers have seen some exciting benefits of Chiropractic care, including the potential for improved strength and balance. Recent studies have started to examine how Chiropractic adjustments can positively impact the central nervous system (your brain and spinal cord). Researchers refer to these as changes in cortical drive and biochemical markers - we call it awesome!

-Nearly every major professional sports team has a Chiropractor on staff to help the athletes achieve their best performance.
-Strength (or cortical drive) has been shown to increase for a short time following a Chiropractic adjustment.
-The chemistry of the brain, or biochemical markers (such as oxytocin and neurotensin) can change as a result of an adjustment.

Injury Prevention

Bottom Line:

Have you ever been excited to start a new exercise program, shed a few kgs, and get in shape? It’s incredible, until about 2-3 weeks in when you suffer an injury, take a few days off and then never quite get back on track. Does this story sound familiar? You’re not alone. It happens all the time. So let’s take a look at how you can get active, reach your goals, and avoid those pesky injuries during those first few weeks.

Why it Matters:

While it’s impossible to avoid every potential injury, a balance of spinal strength and flexibility can help dramatically reduce your likelihood of getting injured. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was your body. Long term strength is built through repetition. While there is a time and place for loading with max weight, if you are just getting started in a workout routine, it’s usually best to start slow by using lighter weights and working towards increasing your repetitions. Flexibility is the second key to staying injury free. Whether you are stretching during long work hours at the computer, practicing yoga on the weekends, or using Chiropractic care to improve your spinal (and extremity) range of motion, it’s essential to view flexibility as a journey rather than a destination. Every day that you take a proactive step with your strength and flexibility, you are reducing the chance of an injury, making progress towards your goals, and living a healthier life.

- Stretching can improve your flexibility and decrease your risk of injury.
- Dynamic (or movement-based) warm-ups have been shown to potentially enhance performance.
- Strength training can increase your resilience and prepare your body for activity.

Next Steps:

We understand that everyone has unique health goals. If you have a specific question about injury prevention based on the activities you love, ask! We believe that by taking a proactive approach with your health and wellness, you can have a more inspired and fulfilling life, and we’ll be here for you every step of the way.

The Intersection of Crossfit and Chiropractic

Bottom Line:

If you’re into Crossfit, then you know how addicting it can become. The mix of high-intensity interval training with a little competition can help you stay motivated and make amazing changes to your body. The key to success is staying consistent with your workouts, but it can be challenging if you start to suffer injuries.

Why it Matters:

Injuries can often occur when your body doesn’t have the correct balance of strength and flexibility. Muscles tears, sprain and strains, and even painful arthritic changes can flare up by either lifting too much weight or by not having enough flexibility to support that weight through a full range of motion. So, here a few tips to reduce the likelihood of injuries:

- Take a few minutes to stretch before and after your workout.
- Increase the weight you lift slowly and focus on reps vs. max weight.
- Use good posture and ergonomics during your workouts. Don’t “cheat” and increase your risk of an injury

Next Steps:

Researchers have discovered that a combination of proper warm up/cool down, a full range of motion and progressive intensity training can help reduce injuries when strength training. One of the most effective ways to improve your spinal mobility and flexibility is through Chiropractic care. Adjustments to your spine and extremities have been shown to increase their range of motion and may help you find that perfect balance of strength and flexibility.

Boost Your Energy This Year

Bottom Line:

Fact: a simple 10-15 minute walk can be all it takes to help you feel more energized. That’s right. The key to boosting your energy is staying active! Studies have shown that even moderate exercise that gets your blood pumping and that oxygen flowing can increase your energy levels. And that’s not all…

Why it Matters:

Moderate exercise does more than just help train the heart to work more efficiently. Keeping active also promotes the release of endorphins in your body, which makes you feel happier overall and can even help you sleep better. What’s more, your immune system can also function better with consistent exercise, which reduces your likelihood of getting sick. Combine all that with Chiropractic care and you may be well on your way to staying healthy and energized all year long.

• A simple 10-15 minute walk can improve your energy level by over 20%.
• Regular exercise may help you sleep better and minimize your likelihood of getting sick.
• Exercise releases endorphins, helping you feel more energized and happier.

Next Steps:

Make a plan. Start today by picking out just 3 days this week to take a 10-15 minute walk. Be sure to add it to your schedule or to set recurring reminders on your smartphone to help you stick with it. And of course, be sure to stop in and see us! Chiropractic care may be able to help keep you pain-free so you can maximize your efforts.
