Heat or Ice?
A common question that seems straight forward but couldn’t quite grasp how it works.

Heat therapy improves blood flows, whereas cold therapy restrict blood flows.

If you’re mostly desk bound (which most of us are, especially a desk bound job) chances are, our neck or lower back tightness comes from SLOW blood circulation. So having a heat pack can do us a lot of good in making sure it soften up tight muscles, hence helps to improve joint tension and tightness.

Ice therapy is useful for acute (new) injuries like sprain/strain after workout, it helps to reduce swelling and inflammations, hence decreases the pain that’s elicited from an ongoing swelling.

So we can see that, ice pack may not do us much good if we have been seated for 6-8 hours and we are experiencing muscle tightness and tension, whereas heat pack may not provide much pain relieve for fresh new injuries due to the fact that the pain we experienced are from the ongoing swelling that causes the pain and discomfort.

If heat or ice therapy has little effect for your neck and lower back pain, chances are, it may not be a muscle related problems. Heading down to have your spine check may be an easy options in identifying the root cause of the problem.

Soft surface sitting isn’t the problem, the poor posture and prolonged sitting is the problem.

When our muscles gets tired/fatigue from holding us upright, it’s unavoidable that we will eventually slough forward. This forces a reverse lower back posture which eventually leads to a reverse neck posture.

The more we take and see our spine as one single entity, the more it make sense to fit the puzzle where our lower back issues has everything to do with our neck issues.

Chance upon your friends/family sitting on the sofa with a slouch position? Give them a tap on the back to remind them to sit upright or better, stand up and move a little!

Your Everyday Habits Are Shaping Your Spine – For Better or Worse!
At Macquarie Chiropractic, we see it every day: small daily choices build a strong, pain-free spine… or silently create chronic back/neck issues over time.
Habits quietly harming your spine right now:
• Sitting for hours (desk, phone, driving) – ramps up disc pressure 2–3x and flattens your natural curve.
• Slouching or “tech neck” – adds heavy strain to your neck (like carrying extra weight!).
• Skipping movement – weakens core muscles that protect your spine.
• Poor lifting, extra weight, stress tension, or bad sitting posture – all accelerate wear.
Simple daily shifts we help patients master for lasting relief:
• Stand tall with perfect posture (we’ll show you how!).
• Move & stretch every 20–30 minutes – feel the difference fast.
• change position! - motion is lotion, it keeps our discs hydrated.
Your spine doesn’t break from one big moment—it’s the daily habits that decide if you stay active, energetic, and pain-free for years.

Ready to protect your spine and reclaim comfort? Book a quick posture & spine check at Macquarie Chiropractic today—many patients notice improvement after just one visit!

I’ve been asked by new & existing patients far too many times about braces (lower back or middle back, even neck braces😅) and whether it works..

So how does it actually works, if it even does any good?

The mechanism of how it works is, by restricting movement on the strapped region, it allows lesser movement on that region, and have the other region to share the movement (lesser range of movement on one area = more range of movement on other area to cover the lesser movement region).

Does this help with pain and discomfort? Of course, for a period of time, say a week time, it does feels good and it feels secure. As time pass by, it does more damage than good. Why? Imagine no longer activating the lower back muscles for a prolonged period of time, our lower muscles gets weaker and weaker, and it share the loading onto our spine, hence leading to an increase in loading, and this inevitably causes more degenerative changes to our lower back vertebra, if we continue to wear such braces.

Not to mention the middle back and the neck spine, the extra movement and extra loading due onto them, causes equally the same amount of damages.

So what’s the solution? Take the braces off as soon as you are not experiencing any sharp pain, and starts to build muscle strength and core strength to get back on track.

Share this to those who constantly wear braces! Perhaps understanding the underlying mechanism give them a better clarity as to what is going on.

“I’m 76 this year, I no longer experience lower back pain and knee pain and I can now continue to walk and even do hiking, my best gift for my birthday is taking up a care plan with you!” 🥹🫰🏼

It’s never just about the cracking and the clicking sound of the adjustments, even though the relief from hands on adjustment can be felt almost instantaneously, at Macquarie, we utilizes Super Inductive System for cell regeneration; allowing new blood vessels formation and nerve cell and muscles growth throughout each sessions with us.

And this is the reason why, even patients at their 70s and 80s are receiving holistic care at Macquarie, they regain their core strength, and spinal joint flexibility, and hence their balance, giving them the confidence to walk with ease and a peace of mind.

We appreciate every little bit of remarks as such from our patients, they keep us going and serve with our utmost integrity and passion🧧

Hesitated about chiropractic care? Perhaps our facilities and treatment approach can change your mind, give yourself the gift of a healthy spine!

In terms of mechanical aspect of WARM UP, a proper warm up allows our joint to produce synovial fluid, this allows the proper range of movement of our bodily joint and hence, the proper muscle group activation and that desired muscle group that we need to utilize/train. Otherwise, we might be using or activating the wrong muscle group.

For example, imagine if you didn’t warm up your hip joint properly for your regular run, most weights will be “carried” my our lower back joints, hence increasing compression loading onto our lower back disc joints, hence, increasing the risk of disc bulges and disc herniation.

Similarly, if we didn’t warm up our hip joint for dance/squat/dead lift, can you imagine how much of that loadings are being shared excessively into other joints like our knee, ankle and lower back?

If you have been religiously warming up but still experience pain and discomfort with movement/exercises? Chances are, you may need Super Inductive System to break up any scar tissues/residue within the joint to restore your normal range of movement (ROM).

Make sure to warm up before your sports!

Double Chin = Happy Spine!

Our adult head weighs roughly about 5.5KG, imagine holding onto a bowling bowl as we seat for prolonged hours in front of the screen and laptop, or even looking down to our phone, that creates a substantial compression forces into our neck joints, and overburdening the ligaments and muscles of our neck and shoulder, causes what we called a forward head posture (FHP).

A simple chin tuck exercises allows the head to return back to the center of gravity, hence allowing a uniform weights distribution across the whole spine, relaxes our neck joints, ligaments and muscles.

So go ahead give yourself a double chin whenever you have the chance to!

According to research, sitting is the new smoking.

Have you ever experience a flush of circulation down the legs after prolonged sitting? Yes, that’s precisely why taking regular breaks keeps our blood circulation high and takes away the burden on our spine.

Muscle and spine, husband and wife; they work cooperatively.

During prolonged sitting, our muscles are basically idling and not “working” in the sense that, majority of the work are carried by our spine in terms of weight loading.

Frequent standing up and walk around will almost definitely guarantee to help us with
1) taking compression loads off our spinal joints
2) decrease loading on our cardiovascular system
3) improve concentration
4) decrease aches and stiffness on our joints

Give it a try by hitting the “reset button” after each sitting session of 1 hour or so!

A good posture a day, keeps the chiropractor away.

Research shows that it lowers back, shoulder, and neck pain—one study found an 8-week posture correction program significantly reduced pain scores in office workers.

It also improves breathing, balance, and core strength while boosting mood and self-esteem; upright posture in experiments led to higher confidence, better mood, and lower stress compared to slouching.

Simple daily habits—like keeping shoulders back, chin level, and taking movement breaks—can prevent chronic issues and enhance overall well-being.

Never underestimate little alignment changes can go a long way!

Send this to your colleague who slouch most of the time in the office.
