Staying healthy over Winter

As the shorter and colder days draw in it is important to stay healthy and boost your immune system over the winter.

Here are our top tips to keep the immune system functioning effectively.
- vitamin D supplement. The short dark days means we get less sunlight and therefore do not absorb as much vitamin D.
- Vitamin C helps your immune system to fight off nasty colds and flus.
- Get out in the fresh air
- Keep active
- Get plenty of sleep

Sleeping Position

Do you sleep on your back, front or side?

Did you know that sleeping on your front can put added pressure on your spine? Not only does front sleeping stress the muscles and joints but it can also have an adverse affect on the natural curve of the lumbar spine.

When you sleep on your front you have to rotate your head to be able to breathe throughout the night. This can also irritate your neck as it is an unnatural position to be in for a prolonged period of time.

We recommend sleeping on your back or side to help keep a neutral spinal position.

Ultrasound💫

The Chiropractic team recently visited Dr Denton to learn more about private general practice and ultrasound.

We discussed how musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used in a Chiropractic setting and how it might benefit us as part of our examination and diagnosis.

Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a specialised examination that uses high frequency sound waves to visualise your muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments.

It can diagnose a range of different injuries such as sprain/strains, bursitis, frozen shoulder etc. It provides an ‘in time’ image of the structure which can show how it is functioning in certain movements or positions.

Will you be seeing ultrasound in the clinic in the future?

How many of you sit with something in your back pocket??

This habit can cause tilting of the pelvis which can lead to postural changes and can cause low back pain!

Emptying your back pocket before sitting is a simple lifestyle change to make that can improve your posture.

There is no such thing as a ‘perfect posture’; the key is to avoid remaining in positions that cause discomfort, in other words, finding positions to sit, stand and sleep that are comfortable and this will be different for each person. For the many people that report a link between certain positions and back or neck pain, they should be encouraged to vary their posture throughout the day and avoid those positions that cause discomfort.
For those people who find that sitting for too long does cause them backache, performing a short series of movements through the day such as ‘Straighten Up UK’ can help to keep you active and reduce this. If the pain persists then see a qualified person such as your local chiropractor to assess and help you start moving again without pain.
