Proactive vs Reactive – Adjusting Your Body’s Status Quo
Let’s be honest. Most people see chiropractic care as a ‘reactive’ option for when their body breaks down, gets injured or is in crisis. But it’s much more effective as a preventative tool for your overall health. Many people are beginning to understand this as they experience it for themselves and we’re seeing a lot of this change of perspective throughout our office.
When you’re reactive, you’re tossed and turned by what your body throws at you. It can be all manner of frustrating secondary conditions like illness, pain, fatigue, headaches, mobility issues etc. Proactive people still experience these issues, … Read the rest
Babies are cuddled – not cracked!
Our previous blog post about why children of all ages should see a chiropractor is a really good read for those with children and grandchildren, or those friends that have never had a chiropractic experience. As part of this I think it’s important to debunk one common misconception about chiropractic when it comes to smaller children and babies (at least how it’s done at our office)…

De-conditioning Syndrome – How Long Have You Been Under Doing it?
Quite often people present to our office and say, “Doc, I think I over did it in the weekend”.
Picture this – after brief hiatus you decide that the garden needs tidying up, lawns need mowing, heavy rubbish needs to go to the tip, all in ONE day! Low and behold you spend the next few days riddled with pain and find yourself blaming all the hard work you did in the weekend on your discomfort. Often people jump to the conclusion that the activity was the problem, however it was most likely the lack of activity preceding the new … Read the rest
