Inside the treatment room this week with Dr Amalia👇

From posture-related tension to lifting strain and movement restrictions, no two patients (or weeks) are the same!

Chiropractic care isn’t just about adjustments. It’s a personalised, tailored approach, combining assessment, hands-on treatment, movement correction and practical tools patients can use outside the clinic.

The goal? Restore movement. Reduce strain. Support long-term function 💪🏼

If something keeps flaring up, there’s usually an underlying reason - and it’s worth addressing properly.

Unsure if you should be using heat or ice for treatment? ⬇️

🔥 Heat increases blood flow, which increases nutrients to heal an area of pain

🧊 Ice decreases blood flow, which helps decrease pain and swelling

- Use heat or ice for 20-30 minutes 2-3 times a day
- Always use with a cover to protect the skin

Your spine and your heart are more connected than you think ❤️

Chiropractic care helps support the nervous system, which plays a key role in regulating heart rate, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular function.

A healthy spine = better communication between your brain and heart.

✨ Wellness starts from the inside out.

Your nervous system plays a role in recovery.

Your body operates in two modes:
• Fight or flight (stress response)
• Rest & digest (repair and recovery)

When stress becomes chronic, the nervous system can stay stuck in fight or flight, making it harder for the body to adapt, heal, and recover properly.

Stress isn’t just emotional - it can come from:
• Physical factors like posture, overuse, poor biomechanics, or lack of sleep
• Chemical stressors such as alcohol, processed foods, medications, or toxins
• Emotional load including finances, relationships, grief, and work pressure

Chiropractic care helps support the nervous system by encouraging a shift toward rest & digest - allowing the body to recover more efficiently.

If injuries keep returning, it may be a sign your nervous system needs support, not just the sore spot.

Hip pain is common, and it’s not always coming from the hip joint itself. Here are the top 3 causes of hip pain we see most often 👇

1️⃣ Muscle imbalance & tightness – Tight hip flexors, glutes, piriformis & other surrounding muscles can pull the hip out of alignment, leading to limited movement and discomfort.

2️⃣ Lower back & pelvic dysfunction – The hips work closely with the spine and pelvis. Restricted movement or misalignment in the lower back or SI joint can refer pain directly into the hip.

3️⃣ Joint degeneration – Wear and tear over time, including arthritis or cartilage breakdown, can reduce joint space and cause stiffness, pain, and limited mobility.

Preventing Hip problems -

1️⃣ Move often & vary positions - Avoid prolonged sitting when possible. Stand up, walk, and change positions throughout the day to reduce stress on the hips and pelvis.

2️⃣ Strengthen supporting muscles - Strong glutes, core, and hip stabilizers help support the hip joint and prevent muscle imbalances that lead to pain.

3️⃣ Prioritise mobility & flexibility - Regular stretching of the hip flexors, hamstrings, and glutes helps maintain healthy range of motion and reduces joint stress.

4️⃣Address issues early - Early assessment and care can prevent pain and long-term dysfunction.

How Alcohol Affects Women Differently 🍷

Alcohol impacts everyone differently - but for women, there are specific biological and hormonal factors that can change how the body processes even small amounts of alcohol. This isn’t about judgement; it’s about understanding how your body works so you can make informed choices. 💛

Here’s what the research shows:
• Higher blood alcohol levels: Women naturally have less body water, meaning alcohol becomes more concentrated in the bloodstream.
• Slower metabolism: Lower levels of the enzyme ADH mean alcohol breaks down more slowly, so its effects last longer.
• Hormonal influences: Shifts during the menstrual cycle, contraceptive use, and menopause can intensify alcohol’s impact and change how it feels in the body.
• Menopause-specific effects: Alcohol may worsen symptoms like sleep disruption, hot flushes and night sweats, and can add to long-term risks like bone density loss.
• Long-term health risks: Women face an increased risk of alcohol-related liver disease, heart issues and breast cancer — even at lower levels of drinking.

This information isn’t here to make anyone feel guilty - it’s simply to highlight that women’s bodies are complex, responsive systems, and understanding these differences empowers better decisions around health and recovery.

If you’d like support navigating this or improving how your body feels day-to-day, our team is always here to help.
