“My back just went” - no it didn’t. 🤔

If you’ve experienced your back suddenly becoming extremely painful for apparently no reason, you may have said this phrase to someone.

But the truth is, your back doesn't ‘just go’ - there will have been signs leading up to this point which you could have corrected, or sought health advice for.

Swipe through the graphic to see the subtle signs you should look out for to prevent your back from going from a subtle ni**le, to potentially debilitating pain.

Your body whispers when there is an issue, so try not to ignore the signs. Your ni**les are more easily healed when you catch them early.

Please book in your chiropractor appointment if you can hear your body whisper but have yet to do something about it.

Long haul flight? Save this post to make sure your long-haul flight doesn’t ruin your holiday!

Here are three easy exercises /postures you can try on your flight this summer to prevent your flight from triggering any pain or discomfort that could then impact your holiday. Try and complete them once an hour:

💙 Tilting your head forward, left and right, holding your head at it’s lowest point for 10 seconds. When it comes to leaning your head back - roll your shoulder blades back and lift your chest forward at the same time for a slight back bend for 10 seconds.

💙 Taking the back of your right hand to the outside of your left knee and twisting to the left and holding for ten. Do the same on the other side.

💙 Make sure to stand up each hour and walk down the aisle of the plane, remaining on your feet for about 10 minutes to help with your circulation and to provide your muscles with some relief.

You don’t want to start your holidays off in pain, but these three exercise should reduce the negative impact of sitting down throughout your flight.

However, if you are prone to back or neck pain during long haul flights, it may be time to seek a chiropractor to help you deal with these issues and prepare you for your trip.

If you are looking for a foot specialist, it is not a chiropractor you’re looking for!

That would be a chiropodist.

It is understandable that you would get the two mixed up if you are not familiar with chiropractors and chiropodists, so this is your clarification so that you can book your appointment with the right health care professional!

Knowing the difference will make sure you aren’t wasting your own time, or taking up an appointment with the wrong specialist.

I have a blog all about the difference over on my website if you’d like to know more: https://smilehealthalnwick.co.uk/

Oh, there is so much more we can do for your body to bring back your smile!

Chiropractors can also help you with a variety of issues within your body because your spinal cord is a bit like the power supply for all your muscles. So the root cause of many aches and pains can be traced back to spinal issues. But there is more to the story still!

Here are other issues that your chiropractor can help with:

➡️ Headaches - Chiropractic treatment can ease headaches by making adjustments to help relieve the tension in the muscles around the neck and shoulder.

➡️ Knee pain - If you’re suffering from knee pain, a chiropractor can adjust your lower back (lumbar spine) to strengthen and stabilise the nerve supply to those muscles.

➡️ Neck pain - Chiropractors perform gentle, precise adjustments to the cervical spine to ease your neck issues.

➡️ Pregnancy discomfort - We can make adjustments to create a little bit more wiggle room for your baby to move around in your second and third trimester.

So if you are experience aches and pains like these, consider reaching out to me or your local chiropractor.

Did you know the Activator Instrument came from this?👇

It was created by Dr. Arlan W. Fuhr in the late 1960s who wanted to find a gentler way to treat his patients that didn’t involve manual manipulation.

He proceeded to invent the Activator Instrument, but it actually first began as a modified dental mallet that was originally used for splitting impacted wisdom teeth!

Using a brake shoe rivet and a door stop, Dr Fuhr created one of the first activator instruments!

This was back in the 1970s and since then, the activator instrument has been modernised over the years to look like what you can seen in the graphics here.

The activator instrument technique can provide more consistently reliable adjustments across chiropractors and patients. Manual manipulation techniques will have more variations in results and delivery due to the strength, experience and skill of the chiropractor and the patient’s toleration levels. The activator instrument avoids this and provides a more pleasant experience, which is why we use this technique at Smile Health Alnwick.

Visiting Northumberland? Pop in to see me.

If you’re on holiday in the Northumberland area and find yourself with ni**les, pain, or an injury you’ve just obtained that is spoiling your holiday fun, please feel free to book an appointment with me during your visit.

You don’t have to wait until you’re home to get your issue sorted, and the sooner you deal with it, the quicker it will be to heal.

🗨️ I get this question a lot…

The answer will ultimately depend on what you came in for. Some of my patients will feel instant relief after one session, but others will take a few session and exercises at home to realign their body and banish their pain.

The secret to healing your body sooner, is coming in sooner.

As soon as you feel that twinge of pain or notice that you’re experiencing persistent discomfort, book your appointment right away.

Healing your body when your issue is in its early stages will take much less time than if you leave it to get worse over time.

My door is always open to new patients and I have many more FAQs answered on my website if it is nervousness over your appointment that is putting you off seeking help.

My secret tip to keeping your physical health in check.👇

It lies in paying attention to your favourite way to spend time being active!

One of the easiest ways to maintain your mobility and improve your physical health is being more active week to week.

And we all know that you are more likely to commit to doing this if you are doing something you enjoy. So what is your activity of choice?

I love walks along the beach and smelling the salt in the air. I make an effort to head to the beach as much as I can during the summer to enjoy a wonderful walk (ideally in the sunshine) and improve my physical health in the process.
