🌿 Wellness Wednesday: Getting Better at Feeling 🌿

When people think of chiropractic care, they often think it’s just about feeling better—less pain, more movement, fewer aches. And while that’s true, there’s something even deeper…

Chiropractic care is also about getting better at feeling.
✨ Feeling your body move the way it’s meant to.
✨ Feeling more energy and vitality throughout your day.
✨ Feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself.

When your nervous system is functioning at its best, your body can send and receive signals more effectively—helping you notice and respond to what it truly needs. Over time, you’re not just chasing relief… you’re building a stronger connection to your own health and wellbeing.

At Aston Manor Chiropractors, our goal isn’t only to help you feel good today—it’s to help you feel more like yourself every day.

💙 Here’s to not just feeling better… but getting better at feeling.

💡 Tip Tuesday: Move More, Hurt Less!
If you spend most of your day at a desk, your hips and back can take the strain. One simple way to protect them? Switch between sitting and standing throughout the day with an adjustable desk.

By changing your position regularly, you can:
✅ Reduce pressure on your spine
✅ Improve posture and core stability
✅ Boost circulation and energy levels
✅ Prevent stiffness, aches, and discomfort

Your spine loves movement—so give it a reason to smile! A few position changes each hour can make a big difference over time.

🕺 Movement Monday | Aston Manor Chiropractors 🚶‍♀️

Been sitting for a while? So has your hip flexor — and that could be a problem.

🪑 Prolonged sitting can cause hip contracture, where your hip muscles tighten and shorten over time. This often leads to hip pain, stiffness, and even low back pain.

👎 It’s not just about bad posture — it’s about lack of movement.

✅ The fix? Get up and move every 30–40 minutes.
Stretch. Walk around. Do a few squats. Just 2–3 minutes is enough to reset your muscles and protect your joints.

⏰ Tip: Set a timer or calendar reminder to nudge you — your hips (and back!) will thank you.

Let’s stay mobile, pain-free, and moving strong this Monday!

✨ Thrive Thursday – Understanding Inflammation ✨

When your body faces an injury or irritation, it has its own built-in repair crew — and it’s called inflammation.

What is it?
Inflammation is your body’s natural defence and healing process. It starts when your immune system detects damage or a threat.

The steps:
1️⃣ Trigger – An injury, infection, or stress signals the body to act.
2️⃣ Chemical Alert – Special messenger molecules increase blood flow and summon immune cells.
3️⃣ Visible Signs – Redness, heat, swelling, and sometimes pain appear as healing gets underway.
4️⃣ Repair Phase – Damaged tissue begins to mend, and swelling reduces as the job is done.

Why it matters for treatment
Understanding inflammation helps you know what’s normal and what’s not during recovery. When guided properly — such as through chiropractic care, movement, and lifestyle changes — inflammation can be harnessed to promote faster, healthier healing.

Your body’s repair crew is powerful — let’s work with it, not against it. 💪

🌿 Wellness Wednesday with Aston Manor Chiropractors 🌿

Did you know the foods you eat can directly affect your uric acid levels, contributing to muscle and joint pain?

An imbalance between acidic and alkaline foods may lead to a buildup of uric acid in the body — a common cause of inflammation, discomfort, and even conditions like gout.

💥 High-acid foods such as red meat, processed foods, sugary snacks, and alcohol can tip the scales, while alkaline foods like leafy greens, berries, bananas, and cucumbers help restore balance and reduce inflammation.

💧One of the simplest and most effective ways to flush excess uric acid from your system? Drink more water! Staying well-hydrated supports kidney function and helps your body eliminate waste efficiently.

✅ Small dietary changes = big benefits for your joints and muscles.

🌱 Start today:
– Add more fruits & veggies to your meals
– Cut back on processed, high-purine foods
– Sip water throughout the day

Your body will thank you. 💚
