🌟 Spinal Health Week: Take Charge of Your Back Health! 🌟

Did you know that 1 in 6 Australians experience back problems at any given time? Back pain can significantly impact your physical and mental well-being, making daily activities challenging. Whether it's sudden (acute) back pain that typically improves within a few weeks or persistent pain lasting beyond three months, it's crucial to address it early.

Back pain can manifest in various ways:

Pain, stiffness, and soreness
Difficulty turning or bending
Sharp pain, dull aches, or spasms
Sciatica, causing pain to travel down the legs
Irritability, short temper, and feelings of helplessness

Don't let back pain control your life. If you're tired of being held back by pain, talk to your GP today. https://qualitashealth.com.au/our-practices/cecil-hills-medical-centre/

🌸 Understanding Breast Cancer Early Signs and the Triple Test Approach 🎗️

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month let's dive into the critical information you need to identify the early signs and understand the diagnostic process. Recognising symptoms early can be a game-changer.

Know the signs, unveil the mysteries of breast cancer by learning about the early warning signals. From subtle changes to noticeable differences, awareness is our best defence.

The Triple Test Approach - is a comprehensive method that looks at firstly, medical history and a clinical examination, second, imaging and if needed, third, is a biopsy (non-excisional). By understanding this approach, we empower ourselves in the fight against breast cancer.

A triple test is more accurate at detecting breast cancer than any of those individual tests alone and, when performed appropriately, it will detect over 99.6% of breast cancers.

Spread the word and share the knowledge!

Early detection is a powerful tool in saving lives. If you notice any changes or have concerns, consult with your GP promptly. https://qualitashealth.com.au/our-practices/cecil-hills-medical-centre/

Let's create a community that values awareness and early action.

Today is World Mental Health Day.

Did you know? 1 in 2 Australian adults will struggle with mental health at some point in their lives. A sobering statistic is that su***de was the leading cause of death for Australians aged 15 to 49 in 2019. 3,000 Australians end their lives each year.

Good mental health is more than just the absence of mental illness. It means you are in a state of well-being where you feel good and function well in the world.

According to the WHO, good mental health is when you can:
• cope with the everyday stresses of life
• learn and work productively
• use your talents and abilities
• contribute to the community

Research supports five types of actions strongly linked to good mental health. Mindspot refers to these as "the Big Five", and their research has shown that the more often you do these actions, the better your mental health may be.

The Big Five self-assessment can help us be more mindful and aware of how often we're including these activities in our routines. It also contains suggestions on how to do these activities more frequently.

Are you looking for more support?

We recommend you consult with your GP, who can discuss local support or treatment options with you. They may also suggest a Mental Health Care Plan, which can help you access treatment services with a psychologist or psychiatrist with greater support. GPs can also provide a physical check-up if you have not had one recently. Your physical health can affect your emotional well-being.

Book online and talk to your GP TODAY: https://qualitashealth.com.au/our-practices/cecil-hills-medical-centre/
