Spine Health for…EVERY DAY ☀️

Small habits. Everyday movement.

Spine health isn’t something to think about only when something hurts. The things we do repeatedly can become the habits we carry through life.

👉🏼 TODAY’S ACTION: Create one daily movement cue.
Connect movement with something you already do. Walk after lunch. Move when you finish a meeting. Stretch after brushing your teeth. Take the stairs when appropriate.

Choose something simple enough to do again tomorrow! 🙌🏾

What does a damaged spinal disc actually look like on an MRI?

If you’ve been struggling with persistent back pain, disc problems or sciatica, understanding what’s happening in your spine is an important first step.

In this video, Dr Marti Harris takes us through an MRI image to explain what we’re looking at and how spinal decompression may help.

At My Chiropractor Mackay, we use advanced Spine MT Core spinal decompression technology as a non-surgical treatment option for suitable patients experiencing disc-related pain.

Not all back pain is the same, and neither is the treatment.

That’s why we take the time to assess your individual circumstances and determine whether spinal decompression may be appropriate for you.

Neck feeling stiff, sore or just not moving like it should? 🙋‍♀️

Neck pain is incredibly common — and sometimes it’s the little things we do every day that can contribute to it.

Long hours at a computer, looking down at your phone, driving, stress, sleeping position and changes in how your neck and upper back are moving can all play a part.

We’ve put together a simple guide covering some of the common causes of neck pain, things you can try at home, and when it might be worth getting it checked.

👉 Read the full article on our website: https://www.mychiropractorqld.com.au/why-does-my-neck-hurt-common-causes-and-what-you-can-do-about-it

And if your neck has been bothering you for a while, our team at My Chiropractor can assess what’s going on and talk you through your options.

Why do we ask you to take a short walk after your spinal decompression session? 🚶‍♀️

It might seem like a small part of your treatment, but those 5–10 minutes of gentle walking afterwards are there for a reason.

After a Spine MT Core decompression session, gentle movement helps keep your body moving, encourages circulation and can help reduce muscle guarding or stiffness after treatment.

That’s why we’ll often encourage you to have a little walk before jumping straight back into the car and heading home.

Sometimes the simple things are an important part of the overall treatment plan. 💙

Have questions about spinal decompression or wondering whether it may be suitable for your back, neck, disc or nerve-related pain?

🪩 A little sparkle for a very special cause! 🪩

Dr Marti, Colleen and Taylah were thrilled to attend The Held Project’s Mirrorball on Saturday night — an incredible evening raising funds and awareness for an organisation doing such important work right here in Mackay. ✨

The Held Project is a local perinatal mental health initiative supporting women who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, perinatal mental health challenges. Their work is centred around connection, practical support and making sure mums know they don’t have to navigate those difficult seasons alone. They provide peer support, referrals to appropriate services, self-care items and, through The Mum Hub Mackay, a welcoming place for mums to connect and access support.

We were very happy to donate prizes for Saturday night’s fundraiser, but even more importantly, My Chiropractor is proud to have now come on board as a regular donor to The Held Project. ❤️

As a clinic that cares for so many women and families through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond, this is a cause that feels particularly close to our hearts.

Congratulations to Amanda and the whole Held Project team on a fabulous night and on the incredible work you continue to do for women and families in our community. We’re very proud to support you. 🫶

Do you suffer from sciatica? ⚡

Pain travelling from your lower back into your buttock or leg? Tingling, numbness, burning or that frustrating pain that just keeps coming back?

If your sciatica is related to a disc or nerve problem in your lower back, spinal decompression may be an option worth exploring.

In this reel, Dr Marti explains how we use the Spine MT Core at My Chiropractor and why every decompression program is tailored to the individual.

Not sure whether it’s suitable for you? That’s exactly what an initial assessment is for.

📞 Get in touch with our team or book a decompression suitability appointment to find out more.

Tight muscles? Restricted joints? Sometimes both may be contributing to the way you feel and move.

Dry needling and chiropractic care focus on different parts of the musculoskeletal system.

Dry needling may be used to target tight or sensitive areas within a muscle, while chiropractic care assesses how the spine and joints are moving. When both muscle tension and restricted joint movement are identified, your chiropractor may recommend including both approaches in your individual treatment plan.

But does everyone need both? Not necessarily—which is why a proper assessment matters.

If you’re unsure which approach may be suitable for you, speak with one of our chiropractors at your next appointment or call our team on 07 4953 1622.
