New Guidelines for GP’s Treating Chronic Pain
New ANZCA Recommendations – Don’t Use Drugs, See a Chiropractor!
Brand New Guidelines have been issued by the Faculty of Pain and Medicine in the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) for the treatment of chronic pain and disability.
The new recommendations will have wide reaching effects and impact all medical practitioners (GP’s) and allied health professionals in Australia and New Zealand.
The guidelines relate to the management of all forms of pain. From back, neck and spinal pain, non-cancer pain, to those with neuropathic pains.
What is interesting is that Chiropractors have been championing most of these recommendations for decades.

For effective spinal health care that continues outside of The Spinal Centre, the Denneroll Spinal Orthotics provide an effective stretch to your muscles and spine.
We encourage those who are involved in the rehabilitation at The Spinal Centre to use the Denneroll regularly at home to further enhance the traction and exercises done in clinic.
Is Dehydration Driving Your Poor Concentration?

Mild dehydration is capable of causing immediate symptoms such as headache, weakness, dizziness and fatigue. Both mental and physical performance are compromised when we have not drank enough water.

Where Is Your Denny? Japan!
Where is Your Denny? Japan.
For Spinal and Postural Correction that continues outside the Practice, Denneroll provides a scientifically valid and clinically effective spinal orthotic to enhance your health.
Fifteen to twenty minutes is all that is required to achieve good curve correction.
It is an integral part of your care. Remember to get the best results – you will have to do your home work.
This is Dean using his Denny while away in Japan. We are not sure if he was actually travelling or just threw out his bed at home. He assures us he was OS.
