Tradesmen and women, or “tradies” as they’re affectionately known, are the backbone of many industries. Whether you’re a carpenter, electrician, plumber, or any other trade professional, you know that your job often involves physical labour and long hours on your feet. With this hard work comes the risk of injuries, from the minor strains to the more serious accidents. In this post, we’ll explore some common injuries that tradies may encounter and discuss how chiropractors can play a crucial role in their recovery and overall health.

Are you the posture prawn? Im sure many of us can relate to the below image, lets be honest we are all guilty of it at one point or another even me.

I want to talk about some ways of improving our posture and spinal health at large but first, there are also a few disclaimers:

Are you one of the many people who wake every morning with neck pain, shoulder pain or headaches? It might be time to change your pillow.

Fun fact: Did you know your pillow should be changed every 12 months to 2 years?

A pillow should provide proper support to your head and neck while you sleep.

Babies, children, and teenagers can benefit greatly from Chiropractic care.

Having grown up in a chiropractic household, Dr Matthew Gooch is a strong advocate of receiving chiropractic care throughout all stages of life.

Pediatric Chiropractic care is tailored to individual needs just like all Chiropractic care we provide at Shannon Avenue Chiropractic.

Facet Syndrome and Facet Arthropathy An Overview:

The joints connecting each of your vertebrae are known as facet joints, these are located at the rear of your spine. Facet Syndrome is where the joint becomes inflamed or irritated, restricting healthy/normal movement of the spinal column.

YOU WAKE UP IN PAIN

If you are waking up in the morning and you are in pain it’s time to visit our Geelong Chiropractor. During sleep, your body is ideally in a restful state and it’s your body’s optimal time to recover and heal. There are many factors as to why your might wake up in pain. Getting to the underlying cause as well as getting the pain and symptoms resolved is something we are passionate about at Shannon Avenue Chiropractic.

Winter Activities and Injuries and improved performance:

Winter often brings along activities like skiing, snowboarding, football, soccer, and netball. These activities can put a strain on your body, leading to muscle tension, joint stiffness, and even injuries. Our Chiropractor Dr Matthew can help address any musculoskeletal issues caused by winter activities and provide treatment and a tailored plan to help alleviate pain and promote healing.

Pregnancy and Postpartum

Pregnancy is an exciting time as you prepare to welcome your new baby. With pregnancy comes lots of changes, both physically and hormonally. These physical changes can cause pain and discomfort as your body adjusts to the increase in weight and the fluctuation of your hormones.

We want all our patients to get the most out of every Chiropractic appointment. What you do after your appointment and between visits is just as vital as the adjustments and treatment itself. It’s normal to feel amazing after your adjustment and feel like you are back to your old self. It’s equally as normal to feel tender post-adjustment as the body adapts to the neurological and mechanical imput received from care.

In our Geelong Chiropractic clinic, back pain is something that we see every single day. Patients present with upper, middle and lower back pain for many different reasons including the following:

Often we start a new year with new goals or “New Year’s resolutions”. Common goals are usually around weight loss or fitness but often become too difficult or unachievable as we don’t look at the bigger picture as well as the smaller steps it to to get there.

We can also hit roadblocks such as an injury that can derail our goals. Managing our risk of injury through Chiropractic care as well as taking a holistic approach to our health is something we are very passionate about at Shannon Avenue Chiropractic.
