⚡️The reason timing ⏱️ the seizure is so important is that if the seizure lasts MORE THAN 5 MINUTES you need to call an ambulance 🚑.
Other reasons to call 📞 include:
- If it is the first time the person has ever had a seizure.
- One seizure immediately follows another without the person regaining consciousness in between.
- The person does not wake up or regain full consciousness within 10–15 minutes after the shaking stops.

⭐ PATIENT FEEDBACK ⭐
As a chiropractor, helping people manage pain is at the heart of what I do. But every so often, you meet someone whose pain is having such a significant impact on their everyday life that you’re especially keen to help them find some relief.

Sciatica can be incredibly difficult to live with. It often causes pain that travels from the lower back or buttock down the leg, and when it affects your sleep, mobility and day-to-day activities, it can become exhausting. There are several possible causes, including irritation or compression of a nerve in the lower back.

💚 So, it’s particularly lovely to share some positive news from one of my patients.
Since starting treatment with me at Chiropractic Plus, they’ve found flexion-distraction treatment on our specialist chiropractic table really relieving. Their words were that the pain in their leg is now “much, much less” and they’re able to sleep far more comfortably at night.
Hearing that someone who has been struggling is beginning to feel more comfortable and get a better night’s sleep is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

If you’re experiencing sciatica or pain travelling down your leg, and it’s affecting your everyday life, please feel free to get in touch to discuss whether chiropractic care may be appropriate for you.

The squat technique requires a combination of mobility, strength, balance, coordination, and body control. It challenges the ankles, knees, hips, core, and nervous system to work together through a full range of motion.

While not everyone can or should perform these movements due to injury or other limitations, maintaining the ability to squat deeply and move up and down from the floor (without using your hands if possible) can help support everyday activities and physical independence throughout life.

As with any exercise, movements should be comfortable, controlled, and appropriate for the individual. Time to get practicing 😊

🌈 🐾 Frank🐾 🌈
Our beautiful, loyal, quirky, dog died 2 weeks ago. Taken too early, Frank was 8 years old when we hugged him goodnight for the last time.
In the Autumn of last year we noticed that he was a little lethargic on his walks and was becoming a bit hesitant to jump up on things but in the absence of any other symptoms it took until Christmas before he was diagnosed with a mass in his spleen. His spleen was removed on Christmas week and we rejoiced when we got him back home with us on Christmas eve. The histology report came back as stromal sarcoma of the spleen. A rare cancer without much data, with a very vague life expectancy of between 2 weeks and 2 years. He had a low mitotic count of 7 so we hoped for as much time with him as possible.
Sadly, in May we recognised it was time and we had to put him down, surrounded by his loved ones. It still breaks me to see how he made eye-contact with each one of his family before he closed his eyes for the last time. He was my little shadow, he made us feel safe and supported the kids through their tough times, he made us laugh and never approved of us spending time staring at our phones (yes, he could talk and would vocalise his displeasure). The house now feels very empty without him and I still expect to hear him bark when the doorbell rings, or see him in the rear-view mirror when I'm in the car.
Run free sweet, curly-wurly. You were one of a kind 💔

At Chiropractic Plus in Dunblane, I work with people experiencing all sorts of muscle and joint problems, from work related strains and sports injuries to general stiffness and tension that can build up through everyday life. Treatment can include chiropractic care, sports massage, acupuncture, shockwave therapy and rehabilitation exercises, depending on what is most appropriate for you.

One thing many people do not realise is how much restricted movement or muscle tension can quietly affect daily life, whether that's sleeping comfortably, walking the dog, exercising, or even concentrating at work.

The clinic is tucked away near the medical centre in Dunblane, within RFL House with a calm and friendly atmosphere and easy parking. There is no pressure and no rushed appointments, just time spent understanding what is going on and helping people feel more comfortable in their day to day lives again.

If you have ever wondered whether ongoing aches, stiffness, or recurring niggles are something you simply have to “put up with”, it may be worth learning a little more about musculoskeletal care and the different ways it can help.

⚡️Interesting research from sports science this week⚡️

Shared by the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS), a global organisation involved in education, research, and multidisciplinary sports healthcare.

📚 A study in elite athletes found that a single session of spinal treatment may lead to short-term improvements in leg strength and muscle activation, particularly when followed by movement or training.

This doesn’t replace good training or recovery, but highlights how manual therapy can serve as a valuable tool to enhance movement and support performance for many individuals.

You can read the article in full below 👇

Research corner: The FICS Research Commission shares this recommended read.

📖 The effects of a single session of spinal manipulation on strength and cortical drive in athletes.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether a single session of spinal manipulation (SM) increases strength and cortical drive in the lower limb (soleus muscle) of elite Taekwondo athletes.

Read full article here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29327170/

For sports chiropractors and multidisciplinary performance teams, this study offers actionable timing guidance: when SM is used, the strength benefit appears to peak within 30 minutes, while heightened corticospinal drive may persist for at least an hour. Practically, that suggests scheduling SM proximal to strength or power tasks—e.g., during warm-up prior to lower-limb loading, jump testing, or speed-strength sessions—to exploit the acute window.

Because the effect seems mediated more by descending cortical drive (V-wave) than by spinal reflex gain (H-reflex), pairing SM with motor practice that is skilful, high-intent, and velocity-specific could translate neural priming into functional performance. Caveats include the small, homogeneous sample (elite Taekwondo with subclinical spinal pain) and the short follow-up; do not generalize to all athletes or assume chronic gains. Use SM as an adjunct to evidence-based preparation (sleep, nutrition, warm-up, potentiation), and monitor individual responses (force outputs, RPE, readiness) to determine who benefits most and when to deploy the intervention within the training micro cycle.
