Did you know? Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers assisting in the recovery and prevention of injuries by taking care
of patients’ neurological, skeletal and muscular health.

Chiropractic care is beneficial for (but not limited to): ailments like low back pain or neck pain, sciatica or herniated discs, injuries suffered in car accidents, or sports-related injuries such as labral tears.

Many professional athletes, habitual exercisers and even non-athletic individuals have all benefited from chiropractic care.

Take some time to focus on how you can safeguard your health and well-being.

🗓️ 1 Day to World Spine Day! 🗓️
🌎 Healthy Habit Countdown: Posture!

Did you know that maintaining good posture is essential for spine health?

Here’s why:
🟢 Sitting Posture: Proper sitting posture helps distribute your body weight evenly, reducing strain on your spine and preventing back pain. Keep your feet flat on the floor, your back straight, and your shoulders relaxed.
🔵 Standing Posture: Standing tall with your shoulders back and your weight evenly distributed on both feet helps maintain the natural curves of your spine. This reduces stress on your muscles and joints, preventing discomfort and injuries.
🟢 Walking Posture: Walking with good posture means keeping your head up, shoulders back, and swinging your arms naturally. This alignment supports your spine and reduces the risk of developing chronic pain.

Let’s make spine health a priority! Share your posture tips and join us in celebrating World Spine Day tomorrow! 🤩

During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes a multitude of changes.

Often the musculoskeletal system bares the brunt of these hormonal and biomechanical changes causing a host of problems from back pain to headaches.

The same applies to those mums who choose to breastfeed their infants. Positional changes of holding your baby for a comfortable feed may add additional stress to your spine, and these forces may contribute to developing pain and stiffness in your
back.

Your comfort goes a long way to help your baby feel at ease!

Speak to your CASA-registered chiropractor today to find out

about your treatment options for your breastfeeding and pregnancy related pains: https://membership.chiropractic.co.za/Public/Index #/findAChiropractor
