What is chiropractic and how can it help?

Centenary Chiropractic Centre

Over 100 years ago, D.D. Palmer (the Founder of Chiropractic) had a "big idea" — that good health can be sustained naturally, without drugs or surgery, through chiropractic care. Today, chiropractic is the second largest licensed health care profession. 

Chiropractors work with and enhance the body's natural ability to heal itself without drugs or surgery. Like all professional health care practitioners, chiropractors follow definite protocols to gain the information to provide you with the best care. They will take your history and conduct physical, orthopaedic and neurological examinations and may order or take X-rays.

What is chiropractic?

Centenary Chiropractic Centre

We know that the nervous system controls the functions of every tissue, organ and system in the body. Chiropractic concerns itself with the relationship between structure (primarily ale spine) and function (primarily coordinated by the nervous system) of the human body, and how that relationship affects the restoration and preservation of health. 

When that relationship is compromised by a spinal bone interfering with your nervous system (a vertebral subluxation), your chiropractor will deliver a spinal adjustment (a specific, precise, corrective force to the offending spinal segment). 

This correction permits normal nerve transmission, enabling the body's innate recuperative power to begin the healing process. It is said that the body needs no help or interference in looking after itself.

Travel Tips From A Chiropractor | How To Have A Healthy And Pain-Free Holiday With Chiropractic Care

Tuesday, February 6, 2024

Whether you're embarking on a long flight or a road trip, the impact of travel on spinal health is undeniable. Hours spent sitting in cramped quarters, coupled with the stress associated with navigating new environments, can lead to discomfort and stiffness. Understanding the dynamics of travel-related spinal strain is the first step toward addressing it proactively.

Tips For Travellers: Your In-Transit Spinal Toolkit

Travelling can sometimes be challenging for individuals seeking chiropractic care, especially if they have specific needs or concerns. Here are some tips to help make your travels more comfortable and avoid aches and pains while maintaining your chiropractic health:

  1. Plan Ahead: Schedule a chiropractic adjustment before your trip to ensure your spine is in optimal condition. Inform your chiropractor about your travel plans so they can offer specific advice and exercises. 
  2. Choose the Right Accommodations: Opt for hotels with comfortable beds and pillows to support your spine. Request extra pillows or bring a travel pillow to support your neck during sleep.
  3. Pack Wisely: Use a backpack with padded shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly. Pack essentials, and consider travel-sized foam rollers or massage balls to use during your trip.
  4. Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can contribute to muscle tension and discomfort. Drink plenty of water during your travels.
  5. Move Regularly: Take breaks during long journeys to stretch and move around. Perform simple stretches or exercises to keep your muscles and joints flexible.
  6. Use Supportive Accessories: Bring a lumbar roll or cushion for added support in the lower back. Consider a supportive neck pillow for long flights or car rides.
  7. Maintain Good Posture: Be mindful of your posture, especially during long periods of sitting. Sit with your back straight and use lumbar support if needed.
  8. Stretch and Exercise: Incorporate gentle stretching and mobility exercises into your daily routine. Utilise airport or rest area spaces for quick exercises to prevent stiffness. 
  9. Ice or Heat Therapy: Pack a small ice pack or heat wrap to address any acute discomfort. Apply ice for inflammation and heat for muscle relaxation.
  10. Seek Chiropractic Care at Your Destination: Ask your chiropractor to recommend local chiropractors near your travel destinations and consider scheduling a visit if needed. Some chiropractors offer emergency or short-term care for travellers.
  11. Mind Your Luggage: Use a suitcase with wheels to avoid heavy lifting. Lift luggage with your legs, not your back, to prevent back or neck strain.
  12. Stay Consistent with Care: If you have specific exercises or routines recommended by your chiropractor, continue them during your travels. Stay consistent with any prescribed treatment plan.

Always consult with your chiropractor before making significant changes to your routine or travel plans, as they can provide personalised advice based on your specific needs and conditions.
