How To Avoid "Text Neck"

Mobile devices are an unavoidable part of everyday life. Looking down at mobile phones, tablets and laptops too often and for long periods can lead to pain and damage in the neck and spine. However, there is no need to get rid of your technology altogether; here are some helpful tips to stop pain from using your mobile devices:

  • Take a break: Constantly looking at your phone or other devices is what is most likely to cause actual damage. Long periods of looking down may lead to neck strain or worse. Instead, it would help if you take frequent breaks. Make sure that you are looking up and around frequently.

  • Raise your phone: Instead of holding your phone down, raise it to eye level. This stops you from needing to bend your neck down and forward to see.

  • Stretch: Stretch your neck from time to time. This will help to mitigate or stop pain. Make a habit of stretching your neck regularly. Set a timer so that you don't forget.

  • Work on your posture: Good posture is one of the easiest ways to avoid neck and back strain. If you can maintain proper posture while using your mobile devices, you shouldn't feel any strain. Correct posture has your feet, hips shoulders, and head all lined up on top of one another. While sitting have your feet flat on the floor, and your hips, shoulders, and head aligned on top of each other.

  • Stay fit and active: Strong neck and back muscles are better able to handle stress, and also more likely to keep good posture. Incorporate exercise to strengthen your neck, back, and core into your daily routine to help with this.

When it comes to these sorts of problems prevention is always better than a cure but if you are already suffering from the adverse side effects of "text neck" you can book an appointment with a chiropractor. 

Walking For Wellbeing

Are you looking for the perfect low-impact, easy to start exercise? Walking is just the thing for you. Walking is easy to fit into your daily routine and contributes to cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength and a natural upright posture. 

Exercise is an essential aspect of overall wellbeing, but it can also have a direct impact on your spinal health. Walking is an easy way to help strengthen your spine and contribute to better posture leading to less back pain and other spinal issues in the future. 

 Here are some tips to help you get walking this spring:

Set Goals

Set achievable goals for yourself. It could be as simple as walking 30-minutes three to four times a week or reaching 10,000 steps a day. Whatever helps motivate you to get started. It only takes 21 days to form a habit, so set whatever goal will help get you up and moving. Later on, you may like to add other goals like walking a certain distance or walking up a certain amount of stairs. These kinds of goals will help keep you motivated. 

Incorporate Walking into your Routine

Morning: A walk at the start of your day is a great way to get your exercise for the day done early, allowing you to enjoy the rest of your day without stressing about when you'll be able to fit it in. Waking up a little bit earlier and getting a 30-minute walk in is a great way to kick-start your day and energise yourself for the day ahead. 

Lunchtime: If you can commit to not working through lunch and taking a midday walk as a break it's a great way to not only get your exercise in but also to clear your head by getting some fresh air. It can help refresh yourself for the rest of the day. 

Afternoon/night: A 30-minute walk in the afternoon is a great way to decompress after a long day at work. You could get your family involved and use it as a time to spend together and talk about your days.

Walk Somewhere You Enjoy

Whether you're a fan of the city, suburbs, or nature walking in an environment that you feel comfortable in is a great way to keep motivated. Maybe you make it a routine to go to walking trails or go on a walk in the city during your lunch break. Where ever it is that makes you more likely to get moving, that's where you should be. 

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a surgery and drug-free method of treatment focused on the musculoskeletal system (spine). It practices on the diagnosis, management and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, the function of the nervous system, and upkeep of general health.

Chiropractors use clinical experience and input from their patients to provide care that is tailored to their needs and preferences. Specific spinal adjustment, manual therapy, low-force intervention, and other non-surgical techniques allow chiropractors to provide hands-on spinal healthcare.

People commonly assume that chiropractic only involves spinal manipulation/adjustment; however, chiropractors offer a therapeutic approach with a wide range of manual therapies. This may include spinal manipulation but can also include mobilisation, muscle and soft tissue techniques along with exercise prescription, nutritional recommendations and lifestyle advice, all of which is founded in a patient-centred approach to healthcare.

Chiropractic care for children typically involves low-force, low-amplitude techniques. Chiropractors are educated to modify spinal manual therapy to suit the age and presenting condition of a patient.

Chiropractors treat approximate 21 million patients per year in Australia. They are highly qualified healthcare professionals with a minimum of five years at university and regulation by the government. Chiropractors, like all other registered healthcare providers, are required to adhere to national law as well as profession-specific codes of conduct. They undertake continuing professional development every year to maintain registration, continually learning and keeping up to date with current research.

To sum it up, chiropractic care is a drug-free, surgery-free method of health for pain relief as well as prevention and the promotion of overall better health.

How to Avoid the Bad Habits of Sitting

The lives of Australians are becoming more and more centered around sitting. From the office chair to the couch, the majority of our day is spent in a chair. Whether you're still working from home, back in the office, or have a flexible working arrangement, it's essential that sitting doesn't become a bad habit.

Office workers are sitting for up to 10 hours a day. Long periods of sitting can have detrimental impacts on the body, including increased risk of Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes. Along with this, your posture and spinal health can be affected by sitting incorrectly.


The myth that you can offset a sedentary lifestyle by merely watching what you eat and getting some exercise ignores the reality of the effects of sitting for long periods. The truth is that there are a few things you should be doing to help ease this impact.


If you're sitting more these days, you should try to incorporate moving and walking into your everyday routine. Set times to stand up and move and stretch your body every hour or so. Going for a walk during your lunch break is also a helpful habit to get into.

You should also make sure that you're sitting correctly in when you are sitting. Your feet should be flat on the ground: your head, shoulders and hips in line on top of each other: your screen should be at eye level to avoid neck strain.

Spring Cleaning with Your Spine in Mind

Whether it's a little (or a lot) spring is a time that a lot of us decide to clean up around the house. Whether you're getting your home in order or doing your regular chores, it's imperative that you be keeping your spine in mind. 

3.7 million Australians experienced lower back pain in 2015, which can be attributed to something even as simple as everyday chores. Vacuuming, mopping, washing dishes, these are all activities that lead to extra strain on the spine. Whether it be because of bending at the waist or having poor posture when doing repetitive movements, with the average Australian spending up to 30 hours a week on housework it's easy to see how these factors may accumulate. 

Giving up on housework all together isn't the most practical option, so here are a few handy tips to keep your spine in line:

Straighten Up

When vacuuming, mopping, or doing any activity that you would typically hunch over to do, attempt them in a lunge position and keep your spine straight. This may help to improve posture and reduce aches and pains. 

Share the Load

To help reduce strain on you back and neck when doing the dishes place a foot inside the cupboard under the sink. This should help straighten your spine by allowing you to squat lower. 

Lifting Objects

When you are lifting objects, bend at the knees rather than the waist whenever possible. Keep the item as close to your body as possible. Make sure you are using both hands and stand slowly when picking things up. 

Take Breaks

Avoid constant strain by taking regular breaks. Set timers at 30-minute intervals to let yourself know that it's time to take a break. Stretching when taking these breaks may also help in reducing strain. Stretching before and after you finish would also be advantageous.

Suffering From Recurring Headaches? Consider Chiropractic

Headaches are considered by many to be a regular part of daily life. It's easy to take certain medications to take medications that mask the pain, but they don't stop the cause. Many contributing factors, including dehydration, desk work, stress, bad pillows and many more can cause headaches. 

Here are some tips to help you manage and prevent headaches:

  • Drink plenty of water. Dehydration is a significant cause of headaches, and merely keeping well hydrated can prevent you a lot of pain. 

  • Don't allow your stress to build up. Find ways to help release tension and stress like meditation, mindfulness or even stretching. Anything that helps you to relax. 

  • Keep an eye on your posture. Neck problems can cause headaches, so your posture must be upright. Stand straight with your head, shoulders, hips and feet inline on top of each other. 

  • Eat healthily. Headaches can arise from many different aspects of your diet. Eating too much sugar and not getting enough nutrients are two significant factors. 

  • Pay attention and look for triggers. You may notice you get headaches when you eat certain foods or watch fast-paced movies. Whatever it may be, it will give you an easy way to avoid headaches.

You may also consider chiropractic care for recurring headaches. Using specific, gentle spinal adjustments, chiropractors can help to alleviate headaches. They can also provide further lifestyle advice to prevent reoccurrence. Chiropractic creates the potential long-lasting pain alleviation by focusing on the root of the problem and not just the symptoms. 


Chiropractic for Back Pain

Four million Australians have back problems. An estimated 90% of people will experience back pain during their life, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. It's incredibly likely that you or someone that you know experiences back pain and its further impacts on life. 

Poor posture, excessive sitting, lack of exercise, incorrect lifting technique, and many more factors contribute to lower back pain. To have the happiest, healthiest life possible, you must take care of your spinal health. 

To help manage your lower back pain, here are a few tips: 

  • Try not to sit for longer than 30 minutes at one time.

  • When permitted by space, bend at the knees instead of the waist when lifting heavy objects. Use both hands and stand up slowly. Keep the object as close to your body as possible. 

  • Keep active and moving in day to day life. Research shows that exercise can help reduce pain. 

  • When sitting at a desk, have your monitor at eye level. Make sure you are sitting with your head, shoulders, and hips in line on top of one another. Keep your feet firmly on the floor.

Along with these steps, chiropractic is an excellent method to manage back pain. Chiropractic offers a drug-free alternative to prevent and alleviate back pain as well as promote a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle. Chiropractors provide tailored and appropriate care by working in partnership with their patients.

Take Control of Your Spinal Health

Taking care of your spinal health should be one of your top priorities. It's literally the backbone to a good life. 4 million Australians experience back pain at some point in their life. It's essential to recognise that your daily habits affect your spinal health. Here are a few tips/activities that will help you have a healthier spine 365 days a year. 

Correct posture

Maintaining good posture is imperative for a healthy spine. If you are sitting, you should make sure that you are sitting against the back of your chair with your feet flat on the floor or a footrest. Make sure your head, shoulders and hips in line on to of one another. If you are standing, make sure you have your shoulders pulled back with your head, shoulders, hips, and feet in line on top of each other. Avoid positioning weight unevenly. 

Take a break from technology

Technology forms an integral part of our daily lives, but it's important to take a break from it. The prolonged periods of looking down that occur from frequent use of technology can put undue strain on your neck. Try taking a break from using technology after work and on weekends.

In addition to this, when using smaller technology items like phones or tablets bring them to eye level and keep your chin parallel to the floor. This will help reduce neck strain and upper back tightness. 

Take a walk

Walking is not only good for your spine by contributing to a naturally upright posture, but it also helps improve circulation and mobility. Setting a simple goal like 10,000 steps or a 30-minute walk every day can help improve your spinal health.

Stretch everyday

Stretching is also a great way to keep up your spinal health. It's easy to start. Even something as simple as the 3-minute stretching program offered by the Straighten Up app will help with your spine. 


Sleeping for a Happy Spine

Sleep is an essential part of our lives. It helps our bodies heal. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, so we can either be helping or hindering the rest of the work we put into helping our spine. 

Your mattress is a significant aspect of your sleep. If you have an old mattress, it could be contributing to existing back pain or cause it to become present. You need to ensure that you have a bed that is supporting you correctly. You can find mattresses officially endorsed by the Australian Chiropractic Association (ACA). 

Your sleeping position is also a significant factor in your spinal health. We all have a position that fell natural for us to be in while we sleep. Some positions are more beneficial than others. Here's how you can adjust some common positions for better spinal health:

  • Stomach: This is considered the most harmful position to sleep in. It can cause pressure on your chest, strains your lower back and can cause unnecessary pressure on your neck from twisting your head. This position is not recommended.

  • Side: Lay with your lower leg relatively straight, bending your upper leg or place a pillow between your knees and position it by bending both your hips and knees slightly. 

  • Back: You can place a pillow under your knees to reduce strain on your lower back by keeping the natural curve of your spine. Your head pillow also needs to be the correct height to reduce strain on the curves of your neck.

The Four P's of Posture

Proper posture is an essential aspect of a happy and healthy life. Poor posture can increase pressure on your spine, causing back pain, fatigue, tension, and other adverse outcomes. Here are four Ps to help you keep track of your spinal health. 

Preparation:

Take steps to make your environment spine friendly. Height adjustable desks are an excellent tool for those who work in office spaces, as they allow you to change position. Changing frequently between sitting and standing is a great way to reduce pressure on your spine as staying in one position for too long is associated with excess pressure on the spine. Look for elements of your life that put tension on your spine. Keep things like your phone and mouse within easy reach on a work desk to avoid stretching over your desk to reach them. 

Position:

An important aspect of spinal health is the position in which you hold your spine. You should always avoid hunching and slouching. Make sure that you are sitting against the back of your chair, keeping your spine well supported. Keep your head, shoulders, and hips inline on top of one another with your feet flat on the floor while sitting. When standing, keep your head, shoulders, hips, and feet in line on top of each other. 

iStock-845546828.jpg

Practise:

Building and implementing good spinal habits rely on you to practise correct posture. It takes time for these kinds of good habits to sink in. An essential step in this process is to practise every day to help your body remember the right position. You can set yourself reminders to check your posture to help you remember. 

Program:

A stretching program is an excellent way to help improve posture. Even something as small as 3 minutes of stretching in the morning can help you avoid future spinal issues. There are apps designed to help you with this. Like the Straighten Up app developed by the Australian Chiropractic Association. 

For further information on improving your posture, you should speak to a chiropractor or other health care professional. 

Why Should You Visit a Chiropractor

No matter what you're doing, your spine must always be ready for life.

Proper posture and regularly exercising are essential factors to maintain and improve spinal health. By visiting a chiropractor as part of your spinal healthcare routine, you can ensure that these practices are maintained. 

Did you know

  • An estimated 21.3 million patients visit chiropractors per year.

  • Chiropractic care is drug and surgery-free.

  • Scientific studies from around the world back chiropractic care.

istockphoto-1161512437-170667a.jpg

Chiropractors offer a drug-free, hands-on approach to spinal healthcare. They tailor their care to individuals through careful assessment and use non-surgical techniques like spinal adjustment, manual therapy and low-force intervention. 

Chiropractors are continually learning and keeping up with the latest research through professional development courses. They are highly qualified healthcare providers, regulated by and registered with the government after having undertaken at least five years of university study. 

Visiting a chiropractor is a great way to ensure that you can continue to do the thing that you love. So book an appointment to keep your spine healthy. 

Back To School Health Check

back-to-school.jpg

As children and teens head back to school for their third term, it's essential to keep in mind and remind them about their health and wellbeing, and the impact that some everyday activities can have.

Screens are a part of the modern learning environment. Because of this, it is more important than ever to ensure your monitoring your child's recreational screen time. We recommend that you try to keep your child's screen time to about 2 hours for recreation or to attempt to maintain a balance between screen and non-screen related activities.

One of these non-screen related activities should be some form of physical exercise. It is recommended that children get at least 60 active minutes per day. Whether this is through family walks, a team sport, or just running around in the backyard keeping your child active is a great way to set them up for a healthy life.

Keeping your child well-nourished is another preventative measure that you can take. Not only will this prevent future health issues but will also help keep your child active and help them stay alert in this classroom. Here is a link to the government's guidelines on child nutrition.

Backpacks are a standard method of transporting things between school and home, but just as necessary as bring textbooks and other essential items, is ensuring that your child is using the backpack correctly. Your child should be wearing their backpack at an appropriate height, with both straps on. Wearing their backpack like this will help children prevent back pain that may come from carrying a substantial bag to and from school.

With a large amount of sitting in school, it is also vital that you teach your child how to sit with correct posture. The head, shoulders, and hips should all be in line on top of each other with there feet firmly on the floor.

All of these will help keep your child happy, healthy, and alert as they continue with term three and into the rest of their lives.

Aging with Grace

Old Man Beach.png

Older Australians are generally healthy and experience a good quality of life. However, data shows that as we age, we are more likely to experience musculoskeletal issues. Aches and pains are normal as we age, but we need to be able to distinguish between preventable pain and pain that comes naturally with age. The spine loses thickness and elasticity as we age which leaves us more vulnerable to acute and chronic injuries. It is never too early to start implementing these tips to help you age in the best possible health.   

As we age, it is vital to ensure we remain or get active. With 72% of older Australians being obese and only 1 in 3 participating in the right levels of exercise, it’s essential to keep in mind that this is a significant preventative measure for musculoskeletal issues.  Exercise will help with improving mobility and stability, reducing inflammation and many other health benefits. Walking is a great low impact exercise to start with, and group exercise is a great way to motivate yourself to keep up the habit. Make sure to talk to your chiropractor before taking part in any activity to ensure that it’s right for you.  

Your posture is also a crucial aspect of your aging. Good posture helps to stop excessive strain on muscles and ligaments. Avoid sitting or standing in the same position for long periods and keep your spine in a neutral position. To have correct posture, you should be looking to see if your ankles, hips, shoulders, and head are inline above each other while standing and with your feet flat with the hips, shoulders and head aligned above each other while sitting. Setting a reminder on your phone to think about your posture may help you to remember the habit.   

To relieve muscle stiffness, improve stability and range of motion, and keep joint flexibility, it’s a good idea to start regular stretching. Make sure that you talk to a healthcare provider to learn how to correctly perform stretches as well as which stretches are best for, and always keep your level of ability in mind when performing stretches especially those that require you to balance.   

Above all, make sure that you are talking to your chiropractor or other healthcare providers about any ongoing pain and to get advice about exercise programs and other preventative measures.

How to Travel with Back Pain: 8 Tips to Help your Bad Back

The daunting prospect of a long-haul flight or a long car journey can be ...painful… The seats in cars, trains or planes are not comfortable for journeys that are longer than one hour. Sitting still for an extended period of time can lead to pain in the back or neck. Which is why I’ve come up with five tips tha will help lessen or avoid the chances of straining our back while travelling.

Be Smart with Luggage

Be smart with moving your luggage. If needed, move and pivot with your feet so your whole body moves instead of just twisting your back. Better yet, avoid lifting altogether. You wouldn’t want to strain your back more than you have too! In fact, ask a flight attendant or a random stranger to help you out!

If you’re as introverted as I am and don’t want to hassle anyone, pack light! Rather than use one heavy bag, use two or three smaller bags. Especially if you’re the one responsible for lifting out of and into cars, taking them off baggage carousels or putting them in overhead compartments.

Bring your Own Back Support

Trains, cars, planes, buses..they don’t support you..or your back. Bringing your own support pillow will help make your ride more comfortable. I feel like I should have this as a warning: This is not the same as bringing a support animal. If you don’t have one or forget it, a rolled up jacket, sweater or blanket will work as well.

P.S If you don’t have a support pillow, pop into Camira-Springfield Chiropractic and our friendly staff will be more than happy to help you out!


Pack Light

Heavy bags are an inconvenience, to just about everyone. Pack less. Make your journey easier for yourself. As previously mentioned instead of packing one heavy bag, you could instead, use two or three. If you’re catching a flight, why not consider checking in any heavier bags.

This also applies to when you arrive at your destination. Arrived early to your hotel? Check in your bags and only carry a light backpack. Plan on exploring the city or country? Consider travelling with a small backpack that distributes weight evenly.

Better yet, play the “I’m older than you” or the “I’m the parent card” This always works...usually...

Make an Effort to Move as Much as Possible

Unless you plan to pass out for the entirety of your trip, it’s a good idea to move around a bit. Sitting too long can cause stiffness and pain. Doing simple stretches even before you board your flight, train or car can help relax your body. If you want to know what stretches work the best- check out this article from Smarter Travel.

Practice Good Posture

Make your journey as comfortable as possible. Make sure you sit upright and the headrest is supporting the middle of your head. Your shoulders should be kept straight and not hunched forward. If you’re driving make your seat is a comfortable position to avoid reaching for the wheel.

And that’s it! My five tips to travelling with back pain. Of course, these tips won’t stop you from back pain. But by thinking ahead and using these tips. You can help lessen the chances of straining your back and ultimately ensure your journey is more pleasurable.


4 Easy Tips to Find the Perfect Pillow to Help you Sleep

Ughh...don't you just hate waking up with a sore neck? it's a..pain in the neck...(sorry) it makes you grubby, stressed and no amount of coffee will wake you up.

Getting a good night's sleep is vital. In his book "Why Sleep Matters" Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology Matthew Walker, states "Getting 6 hours of sleep for 3 days in a row, has the equivalent alertness of someone who has gone 24 hours without sleep."

You wouldn't want to go about your day acting like a zombie with a sore neck!

Now, if you're suffering from neck pain, your sleep posture could be the difference to how well you sleep. What may surprise you, is the role your pillow plays. A good pillow plays an important role in creating an optimal sleeping posture. It could be the difference in grumpily laying in bed wondering why you or turning yourself into a burrito blanket and being 5 minutes late for work.

But you're asking yourself HOW does it help me sleep better!

Well, a good pillow provides a neutral stress-free alignment that is essential for muscular relaxation which aids sleep. The right type of pillow will depend on factors like body build, sleep position and comfort preference.

By the way- did you know people who sleep on their side are less likely to snore! Science!

So here we go! 4 easy tips to find the perfect pillow to help you sleep:

#1: Ask for a Recommendation from your Chiropractor

This seems obvious, but always talk to the person who understands the cause of your neck pain...your chiropractor. He or she will give the best and most valuable advice on choosing the pillow that will benefit you the most.

PS. We sell all types of pillows that range from children to adult sizes. Drop into Camira-Springfield Chiropractic and our friendly staff can help you find the perfect pillow to suit you.

#2: Research, Research, Research

After you talk to your chiropractor, it's time to find the right pillow. Read reviews, note prices, stores that sell it and finally drop into Camira-Springfield Chiropractic and we can provide you a recommendation.

#3: Think About the Material

There are so many options available! it can be confusing to choose the right one. Here are just a few examples:

Traditional Foam

  • Traditional foam pillows are cheaper 

  • Does not mould to a person’s neck

  • Has a lifespan of about 12 to 18 months depending on quality

Memory Foam

  • Has the ability to mould to a person’s neck and return to its original position afterwards.

  • Pressure relieving and is often used to reduce pressure sores.

  • Can be very heavy and hot depending on how it was made.

  • Some products have holes or groves to ease air flow to help reduce heat.

  • Varies from hard to soft.

  • Should last from 3 to 5 years depending on quality.

Gel Infused Memory Foam

  • Memory foam infused with gel is to help reduce heat.

  • Good for people who sweat at night.

  • Is usually more expensive than normal memory foam.

There are many other types of materials. If you want more information Camira-Springfield Chiropractic can recommend the best material to suit you.

#4: Shape of the Pillow

Our recommendation is a high quality contoured pillow. A high-quality contoured pillow sustains an ideal spinal curve required for stress-free alignment. The correct alignment can also ease neck and back problems associated with poor sleeping posture.
