Clinic News and Views
Clinic Patient Resources updated with loads of Free Stuff
We have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes on the Clinic Patient ONLY Resources section of the site.
This section of the site contains resources only available to clinic patients – i.e. patients that physically attend the practice and are under care from Dr. Hooper and the Team.
You must be logged as a patient of the practice to view the contents of this section of the site.
When you attend the practice as a new patient, you will be sent special information from the Reception Team regarding your care.
The Reception Team will also provide your username (or email) and password verified by email.
This section contains specific information to assist you in your recovery and enhance your care.
It contains Free eBook downloads for Stretching and Exercise, Healthy Eating, Eating to Reduce Inflammation, The Wellness Protocol, Postural Programs and more.
They are a great, free resource for all patients of the practice.
After download, I suggest that you copy them to your eReader or Kindle – so your copy is good to go. Very handy for the exercise and healthy eating programs.
Enjoy.
Introducing The Musculoskeletal Profile
Many patients really struggle with neck pain, back pain, headaches, arthritis, stress and chronic pains.
And of those patients, it is bewildering that many have years of treatment with varying practitioners, spending thousands of dollars – and NEVER having these key nutrients tested.
It is highly unlikely you will ever achieve a great outcome in the care if these key values are not right.
Now optimal is the key here.
Near enough is not good enough.
If you are paying north of $60 a visit to a therapist or practitioner you need to have the key nutrients at the optimal level to get the best out of your care. You need to get this right.
If you are using natural medicines or health supplements you need to know if they are working and you are taking the correct amount.
Further more being in a ‘normal’ range is quite different than being in an optimal range to encourage the body to heal.
Introducing the 4 Levels of Membership
The Spinal Centre has a physical clinic and separate eClinic that acts as a unique online practice.
There is a fair amount of complexity in the site so it is worth reading this article on Membership, and the Practitioner Only Medication page.
There are 4 levels of access to The Spinal Centre site:
- Public
- Members
- ePatients
- Clinic Patients
Carbs and Proteins Explained Updated
I have just updated the page on Carbs and Protein.
I wrote this years ago but was updating it in preparation for a new patient a little confused with what to eat and when.
This is a good read for all new patients and for those who want to revisit the basics.
Remember, what you eat fuels your recovery and has a direct impact on your pain levels.
You can’t medicate yourself out of a condition you are eating yourself into.
Membership Upgrades, Menus and Logins
I have been a little quiet on the blog lately, however we have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes.
And even in saying ‘a lot’ this is still probably an understatement.
It has been a massive task moving thousands of pages of information. So if you see any errors or links not working please bear with us – or better yet, use the contact form under Support and let me know of the issue.
We have been busy constructing the eClinic and Shop which is now up and running.
We are trialling a new menu design on the shop and will continue to develop the functionality over the next week with the coders.
It is a little pedestrian at the moment – but see if you like it.
Heat Medications
For patients struggling with the heat – good news.
We have had a special delivery and been able to restock with the Chinese Medicines to cool heat and liver function.
In Chinese Medicine terms if a patient has an aversion to cooler months or is constantly cold we instantly consider their kidney function. If a patient is constantly hot or over heating – then liver becomes the focus.
So we have limited stock of the very popular Paediatric Liver tonic: Calm Me Down Formula.
And of course the classics; Zhi Bai Ba Wei Wan and Lui We Di Hung Wan.
For patients affected by wind heat; uncomfortable sinusitis, headaches and overheating make sure you are prepared for later this week. Consider Yin Qiao Wan, or talk to me on your next consultation.
