Ever feel like you have one leg shorter than the other? 🧐
We have a lot of patients coming in for their Initial Consult feeling that their hips are “twisted” or “one leg feels longer/shorter than the other”
Does this mean you were born this way? 😲 Not necessarily!
For majority of cases, leg length differences (LLD) occur due to misalignment through the pelvis ❌ This can happen from muscle imbalances, misalignments through the neck, poor neurological supply to muscles from the lower back, injuries and just years of incorrect sitting/walking/activities 👎🏼
Overtime, if left untreated, the strain and pressure that it can put through the knee, hip, lower back (and other joints of the body, in some cases!) is not ideal 😣

Can this be corrected and improved? YES! 🤩
Chiropractors aim to restore correct movement and motion to the spine and joints of the body, activate muscles where imbalances are occurring and improve the overall posture to help you move and feel your BEST 🙌🏼
Exercise 🏃🏻‍♀️, strength training 🏋🏻‍♂️ and movement 🤸🏽‍♂️ are all extremely helpful to incorporate while improving the alignment so the body can hold this new way of functioning to keep you strong and active.

Book in with our chiropractors on www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻 if this is something you have noticed in your body and are ready to have corrected!

Chiropractic for a strong nervous system 💪🏼

www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

There is so much change that can come with misalignments in the body 🫤
Small changes or rotations of a vertebrae in the spine or pelvis can lead to shoulders drooping, knees rolling in or a foot losing its correct arch ❌ As much as treating these ailments individually may be useful - treating the body as a whole and correcting the misalignments of the body that these areas are arising from is equally (if not more!) important to have long lasting changes 🤩

Book in with our chiropractor if you feel these are changes you have noticed in your body on www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

The more you do it, the easier it becomes 😉💙

✨ HEALTH AND VITALITY ✨
Is there a nicer (or more important) feeling!?
Moving with energy, feeling active and happy! 🤩

Chiropractors have been improving pain and symptoms of the body for over 100 years 😲, and we continue to do so. Understanding the body, how its mechanisms work, the nervous system and natural functioning of the body is something chiropractors are trained in📕 It’s incredible how well the body is designed to be when things are aligned and nerves are activating all your muscles, tissues and organs in the best way possible 💪🏼

TOOL OF THE WEEK:
🫶🏼 SPINAL X-RAYS 🫶🏼

Spinal X-rays are usually recommended after we assess a patient in their Initial Consultation 👩🏼‍⚕️ After a series of questions and multiple testing - postural🧍🏾‍♂️, muscle 💪🏼, neurological ⚡️- we can decipher whether X-rays are important to help us further with the investigation and treatment of your symptoms 🙌🏼

At Align, we love to have your X-rays printed and brought to us so we can set them up on the light box, analyse them and talk you through our findings 📝 This allows you to understand what is happening, why symptoms are occurring and how your treatment will be specific to you 👏🏼

While X-rays are not a necessity for every patient, it definitely helps us really cater your care plan to your specific needs 🩵
It also gives us (and you!) a good indication of how your spine is looking - the alignment, disc spaces, nerve exits, pelvis and multiple other things 😎

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK:
🫶🏼 FISIOCREM SOLUGEL 🫶🏼

We love using this gel on our patients or getting them to use it at home to alleviate their symptoms 🤩

So, what is this gel good for? 🧐
Fisiocrem is an anti-inflammatory gel that is applied to the skin to help relieve painful or aching joints and muscles ✅ Because it helps with inflammation, it may help with muscle aches and joint pain arising from inflammation.
It can be used for symptomatic relief from injury, sprains and strains 👣 or can be used for post exercise recovery of the muscles 🏋🏻‍♂️ Because it works to support body tissue repair, it enables faster recovery, too! 😃

The ingredients in fisiocrem are naturally-sourced and made from menthol and herbs like arnica, calendula, melaleuca and hypericum 🌱

Always consult your health care professional before use.

WELCOMING OUR NEWEST ADDITION TO THE ALIGN FAMILY 📣
✨ KYLA - Our Chiropractic Assistant/Receptionist ✨

Here’s some fun facts to get to know her a little better:
📚 After many years working in various roles in Allied Health & School Administration, I am very excited to have joined the Align Chiropractic team. I have been a Chiro patient myself since childhood and fully understand the amazing benefits of regular treatments 🤩

🚶🏻‍♀️I enjoy daily walks - usually at the beach. A perfect walk must include a coffee stop ☕️

💙 I love spending time with my family over a nice meal at one of our favourite cafes or restaurants.

🌱 My teenagers often call me “crazy plant lady”, so yes they are somewhat correct as I do enjoy “pottering” in my garden or browsing the local garden centre.

Kyla will be working at our clinic on Monday and Thursday afternoons and Wednesday mornings 🙌🏼

www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

TOOL OF THE WEEK:
🫶🏼 ACTIVATOR 🫶🏼

The little clicky tool, as some patients refer to it 😂

What is this used for? 🧐
The Activator is an adjustment instrument used for gentle, low-force manipulation of the spine and extremities.
It is used to treat the neck, back and other regions of the spine/body to improve spinal mobility, motion in the joints and alleviate pain and symptoms associated with these conditions 👏🏼
When a joint in the body becomes misaligned, it can send distorted or lost messages to the brain 🧠 and an adjustment can bring proper functionality back so your brain has more accurate control over where that joint is and how it is to move ⚡️
It is safely used for all ages, especially children and older patients who have conditions like arthritis or osteoporosis, and due to its effectiveness and gentle nature, the Activator has grown to be the most widely-used instrument adjusting technique by chiropractors 🤩

The Activator applies a controlled and fast thrust into a joint which in turn helps to stimulate the nervous system activity in the joint 🙌🏼

At Align, we truly believe there is no “right” workout for every one, but rather finding what kind of movement works best for YOUR body 🤸🏽‍♂️ Sometimes this can take time to find out, especially with all the different forms and ways of moving your body that is out there these days 😅
But once you find the one that improves your physical, mental and emotional health - that is the best one for you! 🤩
This may depend on your body, structure, health, age and many more things! 😎

www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

Let’s just say we’ve all been in this state at one point before 🤣

Rest and repair is also a huge part of a healthy lifestyle! 💤 it’s always important to prioritise both 😉

www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

Wishing our community a safe and happy Easter weekend! 🐣
We will be resuming back to regular clinic hours from Tuesday 2nd April.

See you then! 💙

So many components to optimal health ✨
And while diet and exercise is extremely important, there are other aspects of our lives that may need attention to help us feel at our best 🤩

Chiropractic care can benefit the central nervous system, keeping us more calm and in a restful state ✨ the spine and nervous system are pathways through which your brain and organs communicate. By reducing interference to nerve impulses travelling through the body, it can improve function and wellbeing 💙

ROOT CAUSE: Looking for the deep, underlying issue ❌
How do we do this? 🤔
At Align Chiropractic, we do a series of testing - postural, nerve, muscle and orthopaedic testing.
Why do we do this? 🤔
Performing all these tests allows us to read what the body is trying to say. It gives signs and imbalances to show that there is a dysfunction somewhere that requires some TLC 💙
And just like you wouldn’t walk around your home painting all the brown leaves on your plants to green 🍂, you shouldn’t be ignoring the signs your body is giving you that something is up and needs to be addressed! 🤩

For more information, call our clinic (03) 6288 7272 or book in online for an Initial Consultation at www.alignchirohealth.com.au
We would love to get you started on your health journey! 🌱

The gut microbiome (gut diversity) has a big effect on the immune system ✨ The more diverse the gut bacteria is, the stronger the immune system and its ability to maintain the body’s health 💙 When there is an imbalance in the gut microbiota, it can lead to inflammatory and autoimmune conditions due to the dysfunctional immune response in the body 😖
So make sure you’re looking after your gut! Feed it foods that will strengthen your body’s system! 🌱

www.alignchirohealth.com.au 💻

What helps you stay full for longer? 🤔
Foods that are low in GI! ✔️ What’s GI? GI stands for GLYCEMIC INDEX - this index tells us how a certain food effects our blood sugar levels 🍭
Foods that are used up quickly by the body are known as having a HIGH GI ⬆️
Foods that release their energy slower for the body to utilise are known as LOW GI ⬇️
These types of foods are a much better choice in general, but especially in the morning, as they help keep you full for a longer period 🕰️ They also stop that crash you can sometimes get after you eat your meal 😴, as the energy from the food is being released slowly and your body is taking its time to use it!
Staying full for longer is great as you don’t feel the need to keep snacking, resulting in your body having time to metabolise and rebalance it’s physiology in preparation for its next meal 🥘
Try out some of these options for breakfast! 🥑 Not only are they super tasty but they will nourish your body, too 😉

The combination of a healthy
LIFESTYLE 🌱, regular EXERCISE 🏃🏻‍♂️, and MEDITATION 🧘🏻‍♂️ are the main ingredients to alleviating stress and anxiety. And while there is no cure for stress/anxiety, there are certain natural, herbal teas that nature has so kindly provided us with that have calming and sedative properties 🍵 They have been shown to help with symptoms commonly present in chronic stress, anxiety, and depression.
Some of these teas are well-known and used daily by most people, but there are some new ones on the list that are just as effective (if not better! 😯) that you may be able to introduce to your tea cupboard at home! Tag vour tea loving friends! 💙
