At The Spinal Centre we are encouraging our patients and the community to begin a conversation about preventive health and well-being and adopt health habits.
So what are you waiting for?
Its time to Get Your Happy Back!
The 2014 International Congress on Natural Medicine
It was with great pleasure that I attended the International Congress on Natural Medicine in Sydney over the June long weekend.
This was one of the most significant events on the Australian Natural Medicine calendar.
It was good to get some of the most up to date information and the latest science in the field of Natural Medicine.
Ironically, I was only one of three Chiropractors in attendance. Most attendees were Integrative Medicine GP’s, Naturopaths and Clinical Nutritionists.
Many presenters were Functional Medicine GP’s or professors or PHD researchers in nutrition, genetics and Dieticians.
Is Dementia Type III Diabetes – Diabetes of the Brain?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterised by the death of nerve cells, memory loss and reduced cognitive function.
Insulin is responsible for the uptake of glucose into brain cells, so insulin resistance in the brain beaks down the nerve connections required for memory and learning.
Insulin resistance is also associated with damaging levels of inflammation and compounds that are toxic to the nerves within the brain.
Here is how it works.
Ablett’s Food For Thought
Being a Geelong fan, I deep down, consider that Gary Ablett is still one of us.
Perhaps it is denial but I still have trouble reconciling that he has gone to ‘the Suns’.
Like all true Geelong fans, we believe that he will return to the fold. To win one more premiership in the twilight of his career.
Dreaming. Hoping. Praying. He is, after all, the son of god.
Ok,
Probably not going to happen.
But what is worth a mention is his diet.
Did the Chiropractor Actually Break the Baby’s Neck?
UPDATE:
We seem to have ‘lost’ this story from the Blog. It was posted December last year. It has been reloaded for those that have asked…
Over recent months I have watched with a sense of horror the wave of anti-Chiropractic stories and headlines in newspapers and social media.
None more confronting than those that appeared a few weeks ago with the frightening claim of a Chiropractor breaking the neck of a baby.
This is a terrible situation for the baby and obviously our hearts go out to the parents. However, I am horrified that this case has been used for nothing more than political spin and grandstanding.
The Chiropractor did not cause the injury – AND this fact was known at the time of the ‘press release’.
Open Letter To All Patients
The Spinal Centre Online Shop is Open!
Over recent months we have been steadily loading the 1000’s of products that we use within the practice, and they are now available online.
Some of you may not be aware that we carry so much stock, but we actually run one of the largest private practice dispensaries in Australia.
Now, we have not been able to work out how to do Chiropractic or Acupuncture down a phone line, but for those geographically isolated or who are unable to attend the practice physically the eClinic is a great health resource.
So, I am asking for your help.
I would like you to give The Spinal Centre Online store a whirl.
As a special introductory offer I will set a discount of 25% OFF until the end of March.
