What has Wagyu Beef got in common with chronic low back pain?

Wagyu is allegedly made tasty by the amount of fat that is marvelled through the meat. Whether it is tasty or not is up to you, but it certainly has a larger amount of fat within the flesh.

As we become less active, the muscles alongside our spine invaginate with fat causing them to become less responsive to requirements to stabilise our spine.

While this situation exists stability is hard no matter what “treatment” is administered.

How do we avoid this? We must be active and retain proper function of our spine through our life. Our spine is one of the most movement sensitive parts of our body.

November is always a month for anniversaries in the Chiropractic Calendar. Our three Jacks and our Jill are all celebrating anniversaries this month.

We bid farewell for the next 8 weeks to Dr Liam, who after three years of hard work is taking a short sabbatical to recharge.

Over that time he’s become the go to person in Hawick and helped hundreds of people.

He’s also had two serious operations, rebuilt his rugby career playing Stand Off for a great Kelso team and last weekend playing for the South at Mansfield in Hawick.

He’s a stalwart member of our team and we all wish him well.

Over this time his patients will be cared for by Donald and a wonderful chiropractor called Dr Megan Lilburne who is one of the most sought after Locum Chiropractors in the UK. We’re delighted and so lucky to have her. We’ll introduce her next week.

Have a ball Liam and come back safely…😊

Did you know the Donald owes his business to the Poppy Appeal?

In 2009 after the global financial crisis, he could not borrow money. He was able to borrow £7000 from the Poppy Appeal and opened on 10 November 2009. This means we turned 16 yesterday!

So far 10 chiropractors, 11 chiropractic assistants and over 7000 patients have benefited from that £7 thousand loan.

For those who donate thank you. 🙏

Every year we double our tin collections in gratitude and all servicemen and women and ex forces receive a service discount with our gratitude for their commitment.

🌥️ With the dark mornings and nights set in & we are seeing less sunlight, it’s especially important to keep your Vitamin D3 levels topped up.

Our D3 supplements with added K2 help your body use D3 effectively which helps support immune function, bone health, mood and mental wellbeing, and heart health. 💛

They are available in both our Galashiels & Hawick clinic. Please ask one of our team next time you’re in if you are interested or have any questions. 😃🙏🏼

Remember, remember the 5th of November — the bonfires are blazing, the fireworks are flying, and the toffee apples are ready! 🍎✨

Whether you’re heading to a big display or lighting sparklers in the garden, stay safe, keep warm, and enjoy the night. 🎇

Let’s celebrate history, community, and a little bit of rebellion 😉

Donald and his son Jamie have just returned from a wee trip to Donald’s native country Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 where they experienced beautiful sunsets, wildlife 🐘 , peace and tranquility and a drop off from the internet.

Donald will be back in clinic tomorrow rearing to go.

They both had birthdays in the bush; Donald had a biggish one and Jamie was 21!

😱BOO!! Did we scare you?…

That jolt you just felt? That’s your fight or flight system kicking in — your body’s natural way of preparing to run or throw hands with a ghost 👻....or in Liam's case, with Nat🤣💪

The only problem? Staying stuck in that stressed-out state too long can be detrimental to your overall health.

Get adjusted and help your body chill out before your next scare! 🫡

😣 Neck pain from looking at your phone too much? It could be “Text Neck” — and a chiropractor can help! 📱💥

If you’re constantly staring down at your phone or tablet, you’re putting up to 60 lbs of pressure on your neck. Over time, that leads to:

✅ Neck pain
✅ Headaches
✅ Stiffness
✅ Poor posture
✅ Even tingling in your arms or hands

👐 Here’s how a chiropractor can help:

🔹 Realign your spine with gentle adjustments
🔹 Release tight neck and shoulder muscles
🔹 Improve posture with simple changes
🔹 Help prevent future pain before it gets worse

👉 If your neck is sore, your posture is slouching, or your phone habits are catching up with you — Its time to see a chiropractor!

📞 Your spine will thank you!
