In the whirlwind of activity in the run-up to Christmas, don't forget to drink plenty of water.

Many people drink more alcohol over the festive season, which is dehydrating. Central heating has the same effect. So, it's a time of year when drinking more water is a good idea.

As the spinal discs contain up to 85% water, staying hydrated is important for a healthy back. Our blog post explains more. ⬇️

Why you need more than water to hydrate Hydration may be front of mind in summer, yet it’s crucial all year round. Dehydration affects you faster than you may think, and is implicated in countless chronic and painful health conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, IBS, food intolerances, auto-i...

Christmas stress levels on the rise? Consider booking an appointment with a chiropractor.

Chiropractic treatment can help you cope with stress. How? There's a connection between chiropractic adjustments and your ability to adapt to stress.

Research has shown that specific spinal adjustments activate the small muscles that fire up the part of your brain that regulates thoughts, actions and emotions - including the fight/flight response, which is triggered in stressful situations. When that part of your brain is working well, you're likely to find your ability to cope with stress is better.

Kids today sit more than ever - at school, in cars, on screens.

Yet their bodies are designed to move. Their brains are wired to grow through movement. When that doesn’t happen, posture suffers, and that can have a knock-on effect.

It’s never too early to build strong foundations, as this explains. ⬇️

Posture and the surprising symptoms that come with itHow many times in a school day do you suppose a child is told to sit up and pay attention? Stand up straight? Stop slouching? Or perhaps you’ve noticed as a parent that your child’s posture is not as good as it could be. Did you know […]

👶 Why Do So Many Parents Bring Their Kids to a Chiropractor?
Because tiny bodies can carry big tension.
Birth—even when natural—is one of the most physically intense experiences your baby will go through.
And then there’s tummy time, teething, falls, slips, car seats, iPads, school bags…
➡️ All of it impacts the nervous system.
➡️ And your child’s nervous system controls everything from digestion and sleep to mood and development.
Here’s what we often see in kids that chiropractic care can help with:
✔️ Birth-related strain (especially from assisted or long labours)
✔️ Poor posture and “tech neck” signs—even in toddlers
✔️ Sleep issues or night waking
✔️ Reflux, colic, constipation
✔️ Sensory challenges or nervous system dysregulation
Now here’s the key:
Pediatric chiropractic isn’t just a smaller version of adult care.
We use gentle techniques (the pressure you’d use to check a ripe tomato) to support:
* 🧠 A calmer nervous system
* 💤 Better sleep
* 🤱 Improved digestion
* 🏃 Healthy movement and posture
It’s safe, specific, and designed for growing bodies.

What are growing pains?

Growing pains typically occur in children between the ages of 3 and 12. They're usually characterised by discomfort in the legs, particularly at night. The pain can be so significant that it wakes the child from sleep, which disturbs their rest.

Although growing pains are commonplace, some factors may contribute to the discomfort. The two most common are an imbalance in spinal tension and nutritional deficiencies.

You can read more about them here.⬇️

Why do X-rays matter when it comes to arthritis? 🤔

Arthritis symptoms don’t always match severity. You might have advanced arthritis and feel little pain. In fact, some patients don’t realise they have arthritis until an X-ray reveals it.

Looking inside your body helps see what’s really going on. For example, an X-ray can help detect signs of degeneration.

An X-ray does more than diagnose, though. It empowers you to take control of your health. Read more about the role of X-rays in arthritis treatment here: https://chislehurstchiro.com/arthritis-x-rays-seeing-the-full-picture-of-your-health/
