Cerebellum Function

The cerebellum is extremely important for us to be able to perform everyday movements and tasks such as walking and reading and writing. It is also essential to being able to stay balanced and upright.

"The cerebellum is known as the ‘little brain’ within your brain"

Movement and Skills

The cerebellum is not just important for balance and accurate coordinated movements, but it’s also important for other cognitive tasks such as being able to pay attention to a task, or for language as well as the way we relate to fear and pleasure responses. And we know that the cerebellum is very important for learning new movements and skills.

Pain is not normal, and it’s not something you should just live with.

Too often, people accept ongoing headaches, backaches, or stiffness as “just part of life” or “a normal part of getting older.”

The truth is, persistent pain is your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right.

The first step is always to figure out what’s going on.

That means doing the correct checks and investigations to get to the root cause, not just masking symptoms.

From there, you can take action with the proper care, whether that’s chiropractic or being referred to the right professional for your needs.

Don’t wait until it gets worse.

If you’ve been living with pain, it’s time to find out why it’s there and what you can do about it.

Stretching isn’t the same as adjusting, and here’s why.

Trying to “crack” your own back or copy a YouTube tutorial can do more harm than good.

Poor form can strain areas that were never meant to be strained, creating new problems instead of fixing the old ones.

When we give you rehab exercises here, we make sure they’re done with correct form so your spine and muscles are moving the way they should.

And when it comes to adjustments, we don’t just guess where the problem is, we find out for sure.

If needed, we’ll send you for X-rays and run advanced scans, Thermal Imaging, Surface EMG, and Heart Rate Variability, to measure exactly how your spine and nervous system are working.

From there, we deliver precise, targeted adjustments that fix the cause, not just the symptoms, so you can move better, feel better, and get back to doing what you love.

Chiropractic Care and Colic

Approximately 20% of all young babies suffer from infant colic an unexplainable condition that causes excessive crying in an otherwise healthy baby. Crying comes with the territory. But for some; the reality can be a lot more intense.

"There is no known cause and few solutions to infantile colic"

Research Studies

There are many studies that have shown Chiropractic care can significantly reduce periods of crying in colicky infants. Babies who did receive chiropractic care cried an average of 2 hours less each day after ten days of care.

Kids’ Backpacks = Grown-Up Problems

How kids wear their backpacks matters more than most people realise.

Carrying it on one shoulder or letting it hang low creates strain on the spine, setting up patterns that can lead to scoliosis, muscle imbalances, and pain later in life.

The fix? Keep it simple.

Wear both straps.

Keep the bag snug against the back.

Adjust the straps so it sits high and close to the midline.

A 10-second tweak now can save years of back pain down the track.

Think of chiropractic care like going to the gym, you wouldn’t expect to get fit after just one workout, right?

The same applies to spinal health.

Regular care helps maintain proper spinal function, improves the connection between your brain and body, and even supports immune system modulation and inflammation regulation.

The latest research shows that consistent care leads to better, longer-term results.

Everyone’s care plan is different, it depends on your nervous system, lifestyle, goals, and time.

The goal isn’t just to relieve symptoms but to keep you functioning optimally for the long run.

Lately, we’ve seen quite a few people come in with vertigo-like symptoms, feeling like the room is spinning, or that they are.

One of the biggest reasons this happens is because the signals from your eyes, your body, and your inner ear (which handles balance) aren’t telling your brain the same story. When those systems fall out of sync, your brain gets confused, and that’s when dizziness or instability kicks in.

At Summerland Health, we focus on making sure those signals are clear and working together. Chiropractic care helps your brain receive more accurate information from your body, restoring balance, reducing the risk of falls, and improving your sense of stability.

Tradie Tip: Load Smart, Not Hard

For tradies, back strain isn’t just bad luck, it’s often about how you lift.

The secret?

Strong core muscles, bracing properly, and hinging at the hips while keeping a neutral spine.

Pre-shift mobility plus regular chiropractic care help switch on the stabilising muscles in your spine and pelvis, reducing the risk of sprains, muscle tension, and those frustrating days off work.

Smarter lifting, stronger core, fewer injuries.

Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can show up as headaches, joint pain, back or neck pain, mild, severe, constant, or on-and-off.

But here’s the key: pain is always created in the brain.

Neuroscience shows that even imagining movement activates your brain in similar ways to actually moving.

This helps retrain your brain to see movement as safe, giving you back pain-free motion.

Spinal movement is vital too. Simple stretches, yoga, or chiropractic care can help restore proper function and keep you moving well.
