• Can we help with low back pain that sometimes radiates through your hips and legs? Also known as Sciatica. Yes we can…

While it can be grueling, there are a few ways you can manage the pain naturally and overcome it. As someone who wants the best for your health, give these tips a try and let us know how they work for you!

1. Stretch gently. While laying on your back, put one hand behind your knee and pull it toward your chest. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat.
2. Change your position. Sciatica can flare when you’ve been sitting in the same position for too long.
3. Stay moving. Go for walks to keep your body and spine mobile. This promotes circulation, which is necessary for healing.
4. Schedule a visit with us. We see patients every day who are dealing with sciatica. Let us develop a custom care plan for you so that your pain is a thing of the past. It may be more complicated than you can handle alone.

• Got Back pain? You’re not alone. Consider these do’s and don’ts to help you get through and out of injury.

DO: Strengthen your core. Regular exercise strengthens important core muscle groups including obliques, pelvic floor and deep abdominals. We can help advise you with these.

DO: Keep hydrated. Because most of our body is water, it needs proper, steady intake to keep it functioning properly.

DON’T: Sit for long periods of time. Do you work behind a desk all day? Set a reminder to get up and move once each hour.

DON’T: Sleep on your stomach! Stomach sleepers put the largest amount of pressure on their spine, head and neck leading to pain throughout the day.

DO: Visit our practice to get checked. You shouldn’t have to live in pain, and chiropractic care works to correct the underlying issue. Give our practice a call today. 94997005 or book online

• Pain in the Neck – Poor sleeping, texting and other routine activities can literally be a pain in the neck. Here are some tips to remember that can help you avoid neck pain.

DO: Choose a pillow that supports and maintains your neck’s natural curve. A pillow that is too soft doesn’t give your neck the support it needs, and pain can result.

DO: Perform regular strengthening and stretching neck exercises each day. We would be happy to provide you with some beneficial ones.

DON’T: Bend your head down for any length of time to text or use another electronic device. Doing so can cause unnecessary strain and resulting pain.

DON’T: Burden your back and neck with a backpack, bag or briefcase that is too heavy. Lighten your load.

One of the best ways, of course, to minimise neck pain is through Chiropractic Care.

• Athletes….you understand the importance of keeping your mind and body in tip-top shape with exercise, healthy foods and plenty of rest. But did you know that many Olympic athletes and professional sports teams make chiropractic care a part of their routine?

Improved coordination. Chiropractic is a completely natural solution to bringing your body into peak performance mode, which means you’re moving with ease exactly how your brain is telling you to.
