Autumn '10

Hello everybody, hope your Easter was nice and relaxed and you are enjoying Autumn. There’s certainly been a lot happening since our last newsletter. We were sorry to farewell David Oxenham who has moved back to his native Queensland (click here to read more). We would all like to wish him well. On the positive side we are very pleased to welcome a very proficient and personable Chiropractor in Eric Topcu.(click here to catch up on Eric). Eric is enjoying taking over the chiropractic care of Dave’s patients. If you haven’t met Eric yet, pop in and say hello.

We’ve also been busy upgrading our system to digital X-Ray. This means we no longer use films for X-Ray, instead we view them digitally on the computer. This is better for the environment (no chemicals), better diagnostically, and if you get in trouble out of town, interstate or overseas, we can always email an image of your X-Rays to another chiropractor. The upgrade has meant we have had to put a large TV monitor in each adjusting room and upgrade all our computer systems accordingly, keeping our computer technician MR LCD, Michael Drummond up late on numerous occasions.

School holidays are on us again and this is an excellent time to bring the kids in for a chiropractic check up. Kids generally respond so well to chiropractic and it makes sense to regularly check for any imbalance that can impact on their health.

It also makes such obvious sense to address the cause of your symptoms, rather than mask those symptoms with a drug. E.g. If you have headaches because of a neck problem then it makes more sense to get your neck adjusted than to take analgaesics. Here’s a quick summary titled “Hearing loss and pain killers”, that clearly demonstrates just how important those little decisions we make are(click here to read more)

May 24-30 is National Chiropractic Care Week with this year’s theme being “What’s your posture saying about you?” During the month of May we will be putting an extra focus on postural education. We will also be offering courtesy chiropractic checks for friends and family of patients. So call the centre for more information on this. In the meantime here’s an article by Eric on the Golden Rule of posture (click here to read).
