While we often focus on their physical growth and development, we may overlook an important aspect - their spinal and musculoskeletal health. Good habits established in childhood can have a lasting impact on their skeletal system as they grow. - [Top exercises in 2022 for disc bulges](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/top-exercises-in-2022-for-disc-bulges/): What is a bulging disc? - [Ergonomic advice for working or studying from home](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/ergonomic-advice-for-working-or-studying-from-home/): Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020, more and more of us seem to be working from home. - [What is a chiropractic adjustment?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/what-is-a-chiropractic-adjustment/): Chiropractic treatment involves spinal adjustments to help get you out of pain and improve the way your body and nervous system function. A common misconception is that chiropractors ‘put the misaligned bone back in place’ but that's actually not true. - [Let Us Help You Increase Your Energy](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/let-us-help-you-increase-your-energy/): Has the busy summer and back-to-school rush got you feeling run down? Maybe you feel exhausted often and struggle to get through the workday. Did you know that fatigue is a major warning sign? Your body is trying to tell you that something is either physically or emotionally (or both) not right in your body. - [Can Chiropractors Help With Jaw Pain?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/can-chiropractors-help-with-jaw-pain/): Jaw pain affects between 5 -12% of the population and can be very debilitating. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It acts as a hinge to open and close your jaw. TMJ disorder impacts the hinge-like movement of the jaw causing pain and dysfunction. - [Can a Chiropractor Help With Bursitis?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/can-a-chiropractor-help-with-bursitis/): Have you ever heard the term bursitis? Or have you ever been told that you have bursitis? - [Can a Ketogenic Diet Help Seizures?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/can-a-ketogenic-diet-help-seizures/): Well, the answer is yes and no. Before we get started let me be clear that this is not medical advice. Seizures are caused by a multitude of factors and every individual responds differently to the different treatments available. The underlying physiology that can lead to seizures is complex, can be frightening and could be life-threatening. If you or someone you love suffers from seizures, make sure you are under the care of a licensed specialist who can guide you through your options. - [The Benefits Of Having Magnesium](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/the-benefits-of-having-magnesium/): In addition to taking care of your spinal health with a well-balanced diet and regular exercise, receiving chiropractic treatment can also be beneficial in preventing and alleviating back pain. The spine's bones, muscles, and other structures require proper nutrition to support the body's overall function and healing. Supplements like magnesium can aid in nourishing the body and improving spinal health, but chiropractic treatment can provide targeted care to address specific issues and promote optimal spinal health. - [Do You Feel Twisted? Lopsided? Uneven in the Hips?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/do-you-feel-twisted-lopsided-uneven-in-the-hips/): As chiropractors, we hear this a lot. The cause can be scoliosis, functional leg length discrepancy, joint restrictions (subluxation) and/or muscle imbalances, and structural leg length discrepancy (longer leg bone on one side). The most common is due to joint restrictions (subluxation) in your spine, particularly in the pelvis. - [Top 5 Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/top-5-benefits-of-apple-cider-vinegar/): Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) has been used for centuries for many health concerns. The Romans used it to treat wounds on the battlefield and in recent times there has been researched to demonstrate significant benefits for maintaining overall health, but we will cover that below. Fermented foods have always been a part of the human diet. In a hyper-sterilised world attempting to mimic our ancestral experience with beneficial bacteria is important. - [Chronic low back pain – Why is prevention so important?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/chronic-back-pain-prevention-so-important/): Unfortunately we live in a society and a culture where pain is believed to be normal, and the attitude tends to be, “You’ll be right”, or “Everyone has a bit of back pain when they get older, you’ll get used to it”. However, pain is not something that you should ever have to get used to, nor is it normal. Healthy is normal. The attitude that back pain is a normal part of ageing may be the reason that one in six Australians report suffering from low back pain (LBP). - [Scoliosis](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/scoliosis/): What is it? - [The Importance of Correct Posture](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/the-importance-of-correct-posture/): Have a look around. Look at your kids, your workmates, and even strangers on the street. Take a look in the mirror. What do you notice? Are you, or the people you're looking at, standing up straight? Do most people have good strong posture? The answer is a most resounding NO. - [Why does pain go away and come back?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/why-does-pain-go-away-and-come-back/): Have you been experiencing ongoing back or neck pain that has been going away then coming back again? Well this is a common occurrence because your body is compensating and adapting to physical and repetitive stresses. This gradually happens overtime. - [What is Whiplash?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/what-is-whiplash/): A whiplash injury is when the head is rapidly jolted back and forth. As a result, this causes an overstretch of the ligaments and muscles in the neck and can result in a fracture or dislocation. It can occur as a result of a minor or major motor vehicle accident, bumps during sport, a roller coaster ride or an unexpected fall. Whiplash injuries often go undiagnosed and can cause numerous issues down the road. Pain or discomfort can be delayed - meaning symptoms i.e. pain can occur up to 2 weeks after the initial injury or trauma. - [The Benefits Of Bone Broth](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/the-benefits-of-bone-broth/): Your grandmother was right! That homemade chicken soup was great for the soul….and your health. Bone broths and stocks have been part of the diet of almost every culture on earth as long as we have a written record. This traditional food was almost lost during the last 50 years but has now regained its place as a true superfood. Don’t be deterred from thinking that bone broth is a new hipster trend, it’s an ancient part of our humanity. It’s also a way to honour the animal that has given its life for your nourishment by using every part of its body. - [Is My Headache Serious?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/is-my-headache-serious/): Headaches… this is one of the most common health conditions in Australia with an estimated 15 per cent of the population taking pain medication at any given time. But let's dig deeper. What is causing the headache and when should you be concerned? - [The Disc Bulge](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/the-disc-bulge/): To understand the disc bulge, it is first important to understand the structure and function of a disc. In between every vertebra in the spine (except the first two) there sits a disc that is made up of a fibrous outer layer (annulus fibrosus) and a softer inner layer (nucleus pulposus). The function of a disc is to provide cushioning for the spine, essentially acting like a shock absorber, transmitting load through the vertebral column. They also allow movement between adjacent vertebral bodies due to their sponge-like structure. Lastly, they create a gap that allows spinal nerves to pass through the intervertebral foramen (the gap at the back of the spine which nerves pass through). - [How Much Sleep Should I Get?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/how-much-sleep-should-i-get/): Sleep. In our busy, overstimulated, stressed, hyper-connected world sleep seems to allude most of us. This lack of sleep is unnatural and has contributed to much of the poor health, both physical and mental, that we see in our communities today. Sleeping is when our body heals, cleanses, and rebuilds. This is also the time that our brain assimilates our experiences and creates long-term memories. When we check out the statistics it’s actually quite alarming. - [When Should I Be Worried About Low Back Pain?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/when-to-be-worried-about-low-back-pain/): When should I worry about low back pain? The answer is in the question. Pain is a very important signal telling you something is wrong. Think of it like a smoke alarm in a house. If the smoke alarm was going off in your house would you simply take the batteries out? The unfortunate reality is that most people do just that when it comes to the signals their body is sending to them. So very small things have time to build up and become very big problems over time. So if you’re experiencing pain, more than transient discomfort from inactivity you should have it checked out by a qualified Chiropractor. - [6 Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Athletes](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/6-benefits-of-chiropractic-care-for-athletes/): It is well understood that Chiropractic care improves the lives of millions around the world. - [Top 5 tips for managing sciatica](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/top-5-tips-for-managing-sciatica/): Sciatica or sciatic nerve pain is a term used to describe pain that originates in your lower back and travels down one or both legs, past your knee towards your foot. This is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve that originates in your lumbar spine (lower back). Sciatica is common, as many as 40% of people will experience sciatica during their lifetime and it is generally more common as we get older. Although common, the good news is that we can do a lot to cope with sciatica and help prevent it from flaring up. - [Chiropractors and headaches: Can a chiro help?](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/blogs/chiropractors-and-headaches-can-a-chiro-help/): The good news is YES, chiropractic can help with headaches. ## Pages - [Y-Strap Adjustment Coomera | Ripple Chiropractic](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/services/y-strap-adjustment-coomera/): New Patient Offer - [Book Online – Gold Coast Chiropractor](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/book-online/) - [Dr Shady Botros](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/about-us/team/dr-shady-botros/): Find your nearest Ripple Chiropractic - [Cervical Herniated Disc Treatment](https://ripplechiropractic.com.au/conditions/cervical-herniated-disc/): A cervical herniated disc, also known as a cervical disc bulge or cervical spine herniation, occurs when the soft inner material of a disc in the neck region pushes through the tougher outer layer.
