Growing Your Own Fruits and Veg Is the Go

Have you ever plucked a snow pea straight from the vine, snapped it in half, and crunched into its juicy, sweet goodness? If not, friend, you’re missing out on one of life’s simplest and most satisfying pleasures. Growing your own food isn’t just about the taste (though that’s reason enough); it’s about cultivating a healthier, more mindful way of living.

Is Fruit Juice Really A Healthy Option?

For decades fruit juice has  been seen as a healthy alternative to soft drinks. But if you swapped your favourite sugary soft drink for a “fresh” juice, thinking that it is better for you, think again!

An Important Biomarker of Disease and Ageing

Handgrip strength (HGS) is a simple and reliable measurement of maximum voluntary muscle strength. It is one of the important tests we run during your care.

HGS can predict not only muscle mass and physical activity, but also the incidence of chronic diseases, nutritional status, quality of life, independence of daily life, length of hospital stay, and even mortality.

So we gain an important insight into your health, wellbeing, longevity, spinal and neurological function with this simple test.

Sometimes You need back surgery. Some times You don’t.

With up to 88% of spinal surgery being unnecessary or ineffectual maybe you want to avoid going under the knife.

Perhaps you don’t need surgery. Perhaps you need a second opinion with some realistic options to get better without drugs or surgery.

Many people (around 200,000) undergo lumbar spine surgery each years. Of those, an astonishing 20-40% will not become pain free as promised – and a full 10% will be worse off following the surgery!

To understand what is meant by “disc injury” it is necessary to understand the function and make up of the disc itself.

During our lives, many of us will have neck pain, and most of us won’t know exactly what caused it. In fact, neck pain can start from a whole range of causes.

Maybe you slept funny and woke up with a crick that won’t go away. You might’ve been rear-ended in your car and now you have whiplash.

Back pain is a very common complaint. About three in four adults will experience back pain during their lifetime-and that number may very well rise, given our aging population and recent trend of obesity.

Low back pain (pain in your lumbar spine) is the most common. Most back pain comes from sprains and strains caused by stressful movements: lifting something without using proper techniques or a sudden twisting motion are just two examples of how you can hurt your back.
