Myth: Chiropractic care is not based on science.

Fact: Chiropractic care is grounded in scientific principles, including anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics.

Chiropractors use evidence-based methods, and research supports the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments for conditions
like low back pain, neck pain, and headaches to name a few.

Cyclist? Low back pain? Related?

Cycling has seen a sharp growth in popularity in recent years with a variety of formats and an increase in events attracting enthusiastic participants. When you first consider the injury risks associated with cycling you would be forgiven for thinking of falls and crashes as being the most obvious. If I told you that these types of injuries are not the most frequent and that you should consider injuries that could occur on the bike then naming the knees and lower limb muscles is very reasonable when you think how hard your legs work on the bike. You would however, be wrong. Low back pain is the most common complaint amongst high level, European, road cyclists (the only group studied in any depth), with 58% of those questioned experiencing low back pain at least once in the previous 12 months. This is a surprising statistic as we often hear cycling described as “low impact”, and I have often heard it recommended to low back pain suffers for precisely this reason.

What are Red Flags?
When visiting your chiropractor for a musculoskeletal complaint, a “Red Flag” refers to a symptom or sign that raises suspicion of a serious underlying condition presenting as a common complaint. Most of us, after suffering a strain or sprain tend to adopt a wait and see approach as many such injuries will recover with time and activity modification. However, in certain situation you should consult a medical professional as soon as possible.
Reassuringly, less than 1% of back pain cases are as a result of a serious underlying problem. As with most serious conditions, the sooner they are diagnosed the sooner appropriate treatment can start which usually improves outcomes. Learn more: http://chiropractor-ballito.co.za/red-flags/

Is sitting the new smoking?
I have taken note of a lot of media headlines recently that seek to portray “sitting” as the new “smoking”. I read alarming statements such as: sitting kills more people than smoking; sitting increases your risk of getting cancer, heart disease, diabetes, depression; and that sitting increases your risk of developing chronic back and neck pain. When you read the articles you realise that the reporters mean “long periods of sitting without breaks” and that a lot of the statistics mentioned are derived from research of sedentary habits and inactivity generally rather than sitting specifically.

Road Trip Rescue
South Africans tend to like their cars and with a large country and extensive road network we spend a lot of time in our cars either for holidaying or working. Sitting in a car seat is much like sitting in an office chair. Until the car starts moving! Learn more at: http://chiropractor-ballito.co.za/road-trip-rescue/

Avoiding injury while lifting or carrying.
Lifting and/or carrying is a very common cause of back injuries. For many people lifting and carrying is an integral part of their daily employment and unavoidable. However, being desk bound does not mean that a person is not at risk of these injuries as sitting at a desk all day does not prepare you for weekend lifting when working in your garden or doing DIY around your house.
