💪 Elbow Pain? Let’s Fix That! 🦴

Whether it’s tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or soreness from too much typing or lifting — elbow pain can make daily activities a real challenge. The good news? With the right care and simple exercises, you can get relief and prevent it from coming back 🙌

Try these 3 chiropractor-approved movements to support healthy elbows:

1️⃣ Wrist Extensor Stretch – Extend your arm straight, gently pull your fingers back with the other hand to stretch the top of your forearm.
2️⃣ Wrist Flexor Stretch – Same setup, but this time pull your palm downward to stretch the underside of your forearm.
3️⃣ Grip Strength Exercise – Squeeze a soft ball or rolled towel for 5–10 seconds, repeat 10x to build forearm stability.

💡 Pro tip: Avoid repetitive strain and check your desk or workout ergonomics — small adjustments make a big difference!

If elbow pain is slowing you down, chiropractic care can help restore proper joint motion and reduce inflammation naturally 💆‍♂️

🦴 World Osteoporosis Day Was Yesterday — But Bone Health Matters Every Day! 🦴

October 20th marked World Osteoporosis Day, a global reminder of the importance of keeping our bones strong — especially as we age. While the day may have passed, the message is just as important today!

Osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until a fracture happens — commonly in the spine, hips, or wrists. As chiropractors, we focus on spinal health and posture, which play a major role in preventing falls and managing bone stress.

✅ Stay active with weight-bearing exercises
✅ Get enough calcium & vitamin D
✅ Avoid smoking & limit alcohol
✅ Schedule regular checkups — early detection matters!

💬 Have questions about how chiropractic care can support your bone health?

Back Care Awareness Week 2025 is here!

This year we’re focusing on the Stand:Stretch:Stride rule.

Many of us spend hours sitting at a desk or standing at work, which can lead to muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and back pain.

Sedentary lifestyles = major risk factor for conditions like osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

But, the good news is that regular movement can reverse these risks.

A simple way to protect your back? The BCA’s Stand: Stretch: Stride rule.

Here’s what it means:

1️⃣Stand
Break up long periods of sitting. Stand regularly to keep your muscles engaged and your spine happy.

2️⃣Stretch
Release tension with regular stretches. Loosen tight muscles and improve joint mobility.

3️⃣Stride
Build walking and movement into your day. Short walks keep circulation flowing and energy up.

🌿 How Chiropractic Care Supports You During Pregnancy 🤰✨

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey — but it can also bring physical discomfort as your body changes to support your growing baby. At Axminster Chiropractic Clinic, we’re here to help you feel your best every step of the way with safe, gentle chiropractic care tailored specifically for expectant mothers.

Here’s how we can help during pregnancy:

✅ Relieve Low Back & Pelvic Pain – As your belly grows, your centre of gravity shifts. This can cause strain on the spine and pelvis. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, easing pressure and pain.
✅ Improve Pelvic Balance – A well-aligned pelvis helps ensure optimal space for your baby, potentially encouraging better foetal positioning (especially helpful as you approach delivery!).
✅ Reduce Sciatica & Nerve Pressure – Numbness, tingling, or shooting pain down the legs? We can help reduce nerve irritation through precise, pregnancy-safe adjustments.
✅ Enhance Comfort & Mobility – Regular care can improve your posture, flexibility, and overall comfort, making it easier to stay active and feel good throughout pregnancy.
✅ Support a Smoother Delivery – Studies suggest that chiropractic care may support shorter labor times and reduced need for interventions.

🔸 Safe. Gentle. Personalised.

💬 Curious if chiropractic care is right for you during pregnancy?

Let’s talk! Book a prenatal consultation today and let us support your journey to motherhood — naturally. 🌸

How Does The Weather Affects Your Spine? 🌧️❄️🌡️

Here’s how:
🌬️ Cold temperatures cause muscles to tighten and blood flow to slow down, which can lead to stiffness and discomfort — especially in the back, neck, and shoulders.
🌧️ Changes in barometric pressure can affect the tissues around your joints, making you feel more sore or achy.
💨 Damp or rainy weather may increase inflammation in people with arthritis or previous injuries, leading to more noticeable back or joint pain.

💆‍♀️ What can help?
✅ Chiropractic adjustments to keep your spine aligned and mobile
✅ Gentle stretching and movement to reduce stiffness
✅ Staying warm and hydrated
✅ Get Enough Vitamin D

Don't let the weather control how you feel!
