If you want to succeed in changing your behaviour, make sure you're doing something that you can repeat consistently.

Too many people start with the best of intentions but get distracted or discouraged before they've repeated the behaviour often enough for long enough.

You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your habits.

Your future identity isn’t built in one decision. It’s built in the choices and actions you repeat daily.

Whether you want to become someone with more focus, more energy, more mental clarity, or more of something else, start by doing the things that version of you would do.

Small changes today = a healthier spine tomorrow.

Wishing all friends, colleagues, patients and their families a very merry Christmas.

May you get some time to relax, reflect on the past year, and enjoy good company.

Wellness practices aren't abstract concepts.

They're physiological interventions that reshape how your body functions at a cellular level.

The mental clarity isn't just "feeling good" – it's your brain operating with fewer stress hormones and better oxygenation.

Who doesn’t want that for themselves?'

Here's the Gonstead approach in a nutshell: Gonstead chiropractors adjust one specific vertebra that they identify as the cause of an issue.

The Gonstead method involves checking the following 5 criteria every visit:
1. Visualisation (posture and skin tone analysis)
2. Instrumentation (temperature differential detection)
3. Static palpation (finding inflammation)
4. Motion palpation (testing movement)
5. X-ray analysis (seeing the full picture, where indicated)

This results in corrections that are specific, effective, and focused on treating the cause rather than managing the symptoms.

When you have chiropractic treatment, we’re recalibrating how your brain and body communicate.

Walking helps the brain map that new input so the adjustment “sticks” a little bit better.

How do you know if you've found a good chiropractor?

They will:

- Take time to listen to your concerns and understand your health history before starting treatment.

- Explain what they're doing and why, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

- Focus on evidence-based techniques and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers when needed.

- Set realistic expectations and create personalised treatment plans.

- Respect your autonomy, never pressuring you into long-term contracts or unnecessary appointments.

You should choose a practitioner who treats you as a partner in your overall care.

How to treat your spine better.

Daily habits may help support better spinal health and comfort.

Consider these evidence-based approaches:
– Use a supportive chair that promotes good posture
– Take regular breaks every 30 minutes to move and stretch
– Incorporate core-strengthening exercises like planks and bridges into your routine
– Be mindful of your posture when using mobile devices

While these habits may contribute to spinal health, they are not a substitute for professional assessment and treatment.

Consider a Chiropractor today.

Where does it hurt?

Everything in our bodies is connected in some way.

When it comes to back pain, the place where you feel it most might not always be where you most need support.

It’s my job to understand how your nervous system is functioning, where to treat and where to allow the body to heal.

You’ll find that a Gonstead chiropractor spends some time analysing before adjusting. That’s a big part of the Gonstead approach.

By doing what you might call the “detective work” first, Gonstead chiropractors are looking for very specific things that will enable them to make precision corrections.

It's like the difference between treating a headache and finding out why you have the headache, then working to remedy that.

The Gonstead system was designed to find and treat the root of your problem.

Your wellness routine isn't just "self-care" – it's science.

When you meditate, your cortisol levels drop.

When you move your body, you flood your brain with BDNF (basically fertilizer for neurons).

When you prioritise sleep, your glymphatic system literally cleans metabolic waste from your brain.

Every wellness practice you do creates real, measurable changes in your physiology.

Your body and mind aren't separate – they're in constant conversation. What you do for one, you do for both.

Could chiropractic treatment help your eyes?

Are your eyes always tired?

If you feel like your eyes are working overtime, chiropractic may be part of the solution.
