Pain shooting down your leg?

Sciatica happens when nerves from the lower spine are irritated.

Chiropractic care helps by:
• Reducing nerve pressure

Today’s Tip:
Remember to exercise! 🏃‍♀️
Moving your body regularly helps keep your joints lubricated, muscles strong and spine supported. This reduces stiffness, improves posture, helps prevent pain, and is fun too!

Mental health is very important and plays a key role in our overall wellbeing. Small daily habits can make a big difference for good mental health. Staying active, getting enough sleep, eating well, and staying connected with love ones can make a positive difference. 💚 Remember it is okay to ask for help. Take care of your mental health.

🏃‍♀️Prevent Running Injuries

I am a runner and have been for a while. I often see patients with running-related issues. Running should be fun, not painful!

Here are some of my essential tips to perform your best and remain injury-free:
1. Increase gradually & train smart: Let your body adapt through slow and steady progressive load. Avoid sudden spikes in training volume/intensity.
2. Strengthen glutes, legs & core: Strong muscles protect joints and improve form. Stronger muscles also help you feel better for longer.
3. Warm up, cool down & recover: Stretch your body and allow for proper recovery. This is often overlook and is a common cause of injury.
4. Listen to your body: When starting out running, there can be some discomfort. However, it’s important not to ignore pain. If something doesn’t feel right, take a break, rest and address it.
5. Use proper shoes and good form: Preventing issues is easier than solving them later. Ensure you are using adequate shoes to reduce stress on your feet. Work on good form to maximise efficiency and reduce wear on your body.

Pregnancy Awareness Week 💛
Pregnancy brings many changes to the body—and while it can be challenging, it’s also an exciting and meaningful time. Being informed and supported can make a big difference in how your body adapts.

Today marks the start of Pregnancy Awareness Week, a time to highlight the importance of supporting maternal health throughout
pregnancy.

As the body changes, the spine, pelvis, and surrounding muscles are placed under increased physical demand. Chiropractic care
during pregnancy focuses on supporting spinal and pelvic function, promoting comfort, mobility, and overall physical well-being
as the body adapts.

Appropriate, evidence-informed chiropractic care may help manage common pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomforts and support a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy journey.
