Spinal manipulation

At 91 years young, today’s patient reminded me of something important: movement is medicine. 💙

Too often people assume aches, stiffness, or slowing down are “just part of getting older.” But the body has an incredible ability to adapt, heal, and keep moving — at any age.

This amazing patient is still prioritising their health, mobility, and independence at 91, and honestly, that’s inspiring. 🙌

Chiropractic care isn’t about chasing perfection — it’s about helping people stay active, comfortable, and doing the things they love for as long as possible.

Age is not the goal. Quality of life is. ✨
Chiro is NOT just 'cracks"

6.9 million Australians are living with a musculoskeletal condition right now - that's more than 1 in 4 of us.

Back pain alone accounts for over $3.4 billion in annual healthcare costs and 177,000 hospital admissions.

Evidence-based chiropractic care is a safe, effective, and cost-efficient part of the solution, yet it remains underutilised in Australia's health system.

That's what Chiropractic Australia is working to change.

Struggling with knee pain from osteoarthritis? There’s strong evidence that weight loss can make a real difference.

Research shows that losing just 𝟓–𝟏𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 can lead to meaningful improvements in pain, mobility, and overall function. In fact, around 𝟏𝟎% 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 and better quality of life.

Why does it help? Every kilo lost reduces the load going through your knees with every step — and less body fat also means less inflammation in the body.

The good news? You don’t need extreme changes to see benefits. Small, consistent steps with nutrition and movement can go a long way.

💡 And while the strongest evidence is for the knee, 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐞, especially where excess load is contributing to pain.

If knee pain has been holding you back, this could be a powerful place to start.

Existing clinical guidelines recommend weight loss for adults with knee osteoarthritis and obesity, but the supporting evidence to date remains inadequate. There is also no pooled data on physical function and quality of life. This study aims to examine the efficacy of weight loss on pain, self-repo...
