Today, we recognise Cancer Awareness Day under the theme “United by Unique”, which highlights the importance of peoplecentred,
compassionate cancer care.

Cancer affects each individual differently. Holistic care recognises not only the disease, but also the physical, emotional, and functional
challenges experienced by patients.

Appropriate chiropractic care may play a supportive role for individuals living with or recovering from cancer by addressing
musculoskeletal pain, improving movement, and helping manage physical strain associated with treatment and recovery, always in
collaboration with the broader healthcare team.

Every journey is unique. Care should be too.

Today marks the start of Pregnancy Awareness Week, a time to highlight the importance of supporting maternal health throughout
pregnancy.

As the body changes, the spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles are placed under increased physical demand. Chiropractic care
during pregnancy focuses on supporting spinal and pelvic function, promoting comfort, mobility, and overall physical well-being
as the body adapts.

Appropriate, evidence-informed chiropractic care may help manage common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomforts and support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy journey.

🦴 Looking After Your Spine
Your spine supports movement, posture, and daily function — making spinal care an important part of overall wellbeing.

Simple habits that support spinal health include:
• Moving regularly
• Gentle stretching
• Maintaining good posture
• Using appropriate support when sleeping

Chiropractic care, when provided by a registered practitioner, focuses on the assessment and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions within an approved scope of practice.

The AHPCSA encourages the public to seek care from registered allied health practitioners to ensure safe, ethical, and professional treatment.

❓ True or False: Chiropractors only treat neck and back pain?
False! While back and neck pain are common reasons people seek chiropractic care, chiropractors are trained to assess, diagnose, and manage a variety of neuromusculoskeletal conditions — not just those related to the spine.

💡 Chiropractors can help with:
• Jaw pain (TMJ disorders)
• Headaches and migraines
• Tennis elbow
• Knee injuries
• Shoulder dysfunction
• Postural imbalances
• And so much more!

Chiropractic care is evidence-informed, patient-centred, and focused on optimising function and wellbeing.

My chiropractor clicks my back, so why can’t I just do it myself?

Or better yet, get a friend or family member to do it for me.

Chiropractors are extensively trained in the art of adjustments.

They study for many years to learn safe and effective methods to administer such treatment. By getting your friends or family to “click” your back you are putting yourself at risk of injury.

Here are some reasons why you should only be adjusted by a licensed professional:
1. They have received their education and training at a registered tertiary institution such as DUT or UJ.
2. You will receive the correct assessment and diagnosis of the problem at hand.
3. They will assess the necessary contra-indications for manipulative therapy and the safety based on the above findings.
4. You will receive follow-up care that is formulated specifically for you and your problem.

While family and friends may mean well, they typically lack the specialised training and knowledge required to perform safe and effective adjustments.

This could lead to unintended consequences, such as muscle strain, joint injury, or exacerbation of an underlying condition.

It’s always advisable to consult a registered chiropractor who can assess your specific needs, provide an accurate diagnosis, and deliver appropriate care based on their expertise and training.
