Improvements In HRV under chiropractic care
These days, if we don’t experience back pain ourselves, we more than likely have someone close to us who does… it is THAT common. All too often, the onset of back pain is sudden and trivial. Bending over to pick up a shoe; or reaching over the sink to grab a coffee mug… the stabbing pain can freeze you in your tracks. Human nature would suggest that if it was “switched on” that quickly – then it should be able to be “switched off” just as quickly!!!

Keeping the spine healthy as you age
DENIAL DENIAL DENIAL! I’m NOT getting older – I’m still in my prime!
At some stage, the inevitable must be faced. The longer we spend above ground, the reality is, we can’t stay our 20 something year old selves forever.
Despite our best attempts to ignore it, aging does creep up on all of us and there are things that we can do to hasten the deterioration – and conversely, there are things that we can do to help the situation. Sometimes it is the simple things that make the most sense.
