☀️ Summer Posture Tips for Spinal Health

1. Stay Hydrated for Spinal Disc Health
💧Dehydration can reduce the fluid in your spinal discs, making them more prone to injury.
Tip: Keep a water bottle with you during outdoor activities or while traveling.

2. Posture Check During Travel
✈️ Long road trips or flights can lead to slouched sitting.
Tip: Use a small lumbar roll, the pillow you get on the plane or a rolled towel to support your lower back, and take standing or walking breaks every 1–2 hours.

3. Protect Your Back During Gardening or Yard Work
🌿 Bending and twisting can strain your lower back.
Tip: Use a kneeling pad, switch sides regularly, and engage your core when lifting.

4. Beach Chair Blues
🪑 Many beach chairs offer little back support.
Tip: Sit on a towel roll to support your lower back, or lie on your side instead of slumping back.

5. Don’t Ditch the Supportive Footwear
🩴 Flip-flops may feel comfy but offer no arch support.
Tip: Opt for sandals with arch support and cushioning—especially if walking long distances.

6. Be Smart With Summer Sports
🎾 Running, surfing, or even playing with kids can involve sudden, awkward movements.
Tip: Warm up with light stretching and dynamic movement to loosen your back and hips before activity.

7. Avoid "Text Neck" While Relaxing Outdoors
📱 Sitting outside reading or on your phone? Your head might be hanging forward.
Tip: Hold your book or device at eye level to reduce neck strain.

🌀 “Isn’t Chiropractic Just for Back Pain?” 🌀

That’s one of the most common questions we hear – and while back pain is definitely the most frequent reason people come to see us at Almondbury Spinal Health, it’s far from the only thing we can help with!

Chiropractic care can support a wide range of issues, including:

💥 Tennis elbow
🏃‍♀️ Knee pain
🤕 Ankle sprains
😣 Headaches & migraines
👶 Gentle chiropractic care for babies
…and much more.

If you’re dealing with pain, stiffness, or anything that’s holding you back from doing what you love, it’s worth booking an appointment to chat with us. We'll take the time to understand your concerns and figure out how we can help.

📅 Book now: email hello@almondburychiropractic.co.uk

🚫💥 Why “Cracking” Your Own Back Can Do More Harm Than Good 💥🚫
We get it—when your back feels tight, it’s tempting to twist or stretch until you hear that satisfying crack. Some people even ask a friend to “just crack it” for them. 😬

But here’s why that’s not a good idea:

👉 You’re not addressing the root cause. That pop might give temporary relief, but it doesn’t fix the underlying issue—and can actually make it worse over time.
👉 You could cause joint instability. Repeated self-cracking can lead to overstretched ligaments, which means your spine becomes less stable and more prone to injury.
👉 Untrained hands = high risk. When someone who isn’t a qualified chiropractor tries to adjust your spine, it can lead to nerve damage, muscle strain, or even more serious injuries. Chiropractors have spent a minimum of 3 years studying the spine and conditions related to the spine and know the warning signs to look out for when treatment might not be appropriate.

✔️ Chiropractic adjustments should always be performed by trained professionals who understand the anatomy of the spine and know how to target the correct joints safely and effectively.

Your spine is too important to take chances with. If you're feeling discomfort or stiffness, come and see us—we’re here to help you move better and feel better, the safe way. 💛

A Personal Farewell ❤️

After an amazing chapter as Lead Assistant and Practice Manager here at Almondbury Spinal Health, it’s time for me to say farewell.

I’ve absolutely loved my time here — working with a truly fantastic team, getting to know our lovely patients, and being part of such a supportive community. I’ve learned a lot, laughed a lot, and made some lifelong friendships.

Sadly, my personal circumstances have pulled me back home to New Zealand. (Yes — New Zealand, not Australia. I know the accent confused many of you… but I promise, I’ve never once said “crikey.” 😉)

Thank you all for the kindness, chats, laughs, and memories - It’s been a pleasure.

Ka kite anō,
Jess
