🎄 Top Tips to Keep Your Spine Merry & Bright This Christmas! 🎁

1) The Great Wrapping Marathon

If Santa can have elves, you can at least have a table! Wrapping gifts on the floor is a one-way ticket to a grumbly lower back. Try spreading the wrapping over a few shorter sessions, and use a raised surface like a dining table (or even an ironing board!) to keep yourself comfortable and pain-free.

2) Driving Home for Christmas 🚗✨

Long festive road trips can leave your spine feeling as tired as your car’s sat-nav. Take a quick break every 60–90 minutes to stretch your legs, roll your shoulders, and reset. Adjusting your seat position or using a wedge cushion can also help reduce the strain on your body, particularly your lower back.

3) “Any Room at the Inn?” 🛏️

Staying with family or friends often means a mystery mattress and a pillow you’ve never met before. Your spine might not appreciate the adventure! If possible, bring your own pillow and add a few gentle stretches to your morning and evening routine to keep you feeling your best.

4) Too Much Christmas TV? 📺🍫

We all know how easy it is to melt into the sofa with a Quality Street tin and the Christmas specials. Try to sprinkle in some movement—whether it's a winter walk, a gym session, or a gentle jog. Your spine will thank you, and you’ll feel much merrier for it!

Wishing you a happy & healthy Christmas from all of us at the clinic! 🎅✨

✨ Hypermobile? Wondering if Chiropractic Care is Right for You?
Short answer - absolutely! ✨

Hypermobility is a condition where your joints move further than average. It can be hereditary, related to connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome, or developed through injury or high-demand sports such as gymnastics. Some people experience it throughout the whole body, while others notice it in just a few joints.

Many hypermobile people deal with symptoms such as :
• Ongoing muscle tension
• Joint pain or instability
• Recurrent sprains or strains
• Partial or full dislocations, even with minimal trauma
• Fatigue, digestive issues, or symptoms of POTS

Chiropractic care can play a supportive role in managing these long-term symptoms. Treatments are always tailored to your needs, often using gentler, low-force techniques and exercises designed to build strength, stability, and confidence in your movement.

If you’re hypermobile and looking for safe, supportive care, we’re here to help you feel stronger and move comfortably.

Winter is here - and so are shorter, darker days!

That means it’s more important than ever to keep your Vitamin D levels topped up. Vitamin D plays a huge role in keeping your bones strong, your muscles working well, and your immune system firing; all essential for staying healthy and getting the most out of your chiropractic care.

Because we produce less Vitamin D in winter, NICE recommends that most adults and children take a daily supplement (10 micrograms/400 IU) from October to March, and all year round if you’re under 5, over 65 or have limited sun exposure.

You can boost your levels with:
✨ Vitamin D3 supplements (options include tablets, gummies or mouth sprays)
✨ Foods like oily fish, eggs, dairy, and fortified cereals or milks

Top Tip: Vitamin D3 is fat-soluble, so take it with a healthy fat (think nuts, seeds, yoghurt, or oily fish) for optimal absorption.

Strong bones, healthy muscles, and a resilient immune system = a happier spine this winter. Your body will thank you! 🌞❄️

What is 'normal' in terms of recovery?

It’s completely understandable to hope that once treatment starts, you’ll just keep feeling better - less pain, more movement, and steady progress toward recovery. And while that is sometimes the direction things go, healing doesn’t always happen in a straight line.

There may be days when you feel amazing and others when things feel a bit tougher. Those ups and downs are a normal part of the process, they don’t mean you’re moving backward or that treatment isn’t working.

We’re here to support you through it all, the good days and the challenging ones - helping you stay on track, make adjustments when needed, and keep moving toward your goals and a healthier, more comfortable you.
