Staying At Your Peak Over The Holiday Period

Q: What is Advanced Biostructural Correction?

Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC) ™ is a revolutionary technique that returns your body to its natural alignment. This is achieved by getting rid of the mechanical stress that accrues when your body compensates for injury. Visit our What is ABC™ page for more information.

Q: Who can benefit from ABC™?

ABC™ can help people from all walks of life who are keen to improve their health. Many of our clients are busy mums who have been living with long term pain or discomfort but have struggled to prioritise their health. ABC™ treatments are quick and effective, making them easy to incorporate into a busy lifestyle.

Q: Is ABC™ safe for kids?

ABC™ can be a safe supplement to your child’s health care regimen as long as it’s applied properly. At Complete Chiropractic we love helping mums and kids, so you can relax knowing that your child is in safe hands.

Q: ABC™ seems to be all about posture. Why is posture so important?

Good posture is not just about your physical appearance, although it’s true that poor posture can make you look older. Posture is one of the key indicators of your overall health; if your posture is poor, it can result in range of symptoms such as poor sleep, lack of energy, pain and tension, reduced breathing capacity, lowered immunity and an older appearance that can reduce your quality of life.

Q: What are the causes of poor posture?

Causes of poor posture include: long term use of devices, like computers, that cause you to sit in a hunched position for long periods of time; injuries, such as sporting injuries, car accidents and falls; and hereditary disorders, such as scoliosis and osteoporosis. In today’s world, children are developing problems with their posture at a much more rapid rate than previous generations, due largely to the prolonged periods they spent sitting in front of computers and other electronic devices.

Q: What are the signs of poor posture?

The most common sign of poor posture is forward displacement of the head, known as Forward Head Posture (FHP). When your head is pushed forward, it pulls against your neck, back, shoulders and chest and can also push your hips out of alignment to compensate.

Q: Are spinal adjustments painful?

ABC™ is a painless and surprisingly fast method of chiropractic treatment. The doctor will treat you using only his hands, bending your body using rotary movements. However, conventional chiropractic techniques like twisting are not used in ABC™ treatments. Some patients will experience a slight muscle ache the day after having their spine adjusted; this is normal and will usually pass within 24 hours.

Q: How long will it take before I see results?

Many patients start seeing results after their first treatment. Patients with more severe conditions may need a few weeks of treatment before they can really see or feel a difference.

Q: If I feel better after a few weeks of treatment, does that mean I’m cured?

If you’ve been living with pain for a long time, then you may think your problem is fixed as soon as the pain goes away. However, what we’re aiming for is not just a treatment of the symptoms, but a treatment of the underlying causes and this can take time. The duration of your treatment plan depends on your individual symptoms, so make an appointment to talk through your needs with Dr Zahedi.

Staying At Your Peak Over The Holiday Period

As the year is coming to a close – there’s every chance to celebrate. Work Christmas parties, family get-togethers, Fridays, new years and more. These times of celebrating can sometimes be a little taxing both on the pocket and the body. Follow these tips from our Australian Chiropractors to help you stay on top of your physical and emotional health, and keep you happy through the year end.

Eat, Drink and Be Merry in Moderation!

When it comes to the holiday season, it’s common to see a tightening of the waistband and an increase on the scales. When it comes to eating and consuming healthily, know which foods have nutritional value and which are empty calories. Don’t deprive yourself of holidays treats and specialties but take everything in moderation. Small rewards now and then rather than saving yourself for one huge gorging buffet is better for your body. Healthy meals at home between festivities can help your body recover and remember beverages (especially alcoholic ones) can have high calorific counts too.

Get by with a Little Help from your Friends

During the holiday period – it’s a great time for families to get together and celebrate. If you’re aware of friends or colleagues who may not have those same support networks and you have the option to do so – include them too. Mental health is important during the holiday period, taking an active role to support those in need or may be alone is sometimes the best gift of all.

Go to your Happy Place

Holidays can be a great opportunity to relax, but with multiple events, family gatherings, continued work and more often our patients tell us they need a holiday from their holiday. Committing to fewer get-togethers or setting multiple arrangements around the same event or location can help ease stress on both your mind and also wallet.

Remember to Move it, Move it!

When work eases off or holidays start – it is easy to fall out of rhythm with our daily routine. Remember that exercise during the holiday period is just as important as at any other time of the year. If you’re usually active three to four times a week, try and maintain that throughout the holiday period. If you have family around, motivate them to join you for an after-dinner walk – having an exercise partner keeps you accountable for staying healthy.

Treat Yo’self!

When it comes to the holidays its often easy to put everyone else first and forget yourself – so remember to take care of yourself too. Find some time to rest, catch up on a good book, have a sleep in or start that project you’ve been putting off. Have you been meaning to take charge of your health but been putting it off, our wonderful team will be working through the holiday period and our chiropractors are here to help. It’s time to think of you – so give us a call and we can help you to help yourself.
