Hawker Chiropractic and the Coronavirus?
Hawker Chiropractic Canberra is open for business and serving Canberra and the surrounding regions in these new and unusual times.
We are taking every precaution with disinfecting, sanitising and any other measures necessary to reduce the possibility of any contamination.
We ask that all patients stay up-to-date with any announcements regarding the virus to reduce the risk of any of our staff coming into contact with someone who may have been exposed.
In the event of this happening, we will have no choice but to close the practice for the necessary 14-day isolation period which means we will be unable to serve any patients.
As per the health directives issued by the government:
If you have returned from overseas travel;
If you have been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for the virus; or
If you develop any cold or flu like symptoms,
please call the office on 02 6255 3711 and speak to one of our friendly staff to see if you should keep your appointment or re-schedule for a later date.
The clinic is open as we know that if your skeletal system is functioning at its optimal level your immune system can also function at its best.
This means that even if you do contract the disease your body will be in its best state to fight against it.
We would also ask that you try to remain calm as fear will increase your “fight or flight” response of your sympathetic nervous system, and a direct result of this is that the “rest, digest & heal” system (the parasympathetics) gets switched off.
Stay calm, well hydrated, well nourished and get lots of rest. We have added a link to Jo Whitton’s Healthy Healing Chicken Soup https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/2017/09/fighting-colds-flus-healing-chicken-soup-recipe/
Try to stay away from too much media input as well as this appears to only be adding to the turmoil.
If you are feeling stressed about anything or are fearful of getting out to the shops or appointments etc., please call the clinic on 02 6255 3711 or contact us.
We are all locals and are willing to help our clients in any way we can.
If you are in Melbourne and looking for a trusted chiropractor, we highly recommend Inner Bloom Chiropractic.
Why choose Hawker Chiropractic Canberra?
Alternative health, and particularly Chiropractic, has often been in the spotlight. Just how safe is Chiropractic?
Chiropractors are trained at University for 5 years and graduate with either a single or double degree depending on the University they attend.
To obtain this degree not only do they have a full-time course load but spend the last 2 years of their degree working in school clinics where they are supervised by qualified chiropractors, of long-standing experience.
Chiropractic students must pass all theory exams and also have provided hundreds of treatments and pass stringent final practical examinations, much the same as in the medical profession.
Added to this, chiropractors undergo 24 hours of further education every 2 years to renew their licence to practice through AHPRA – the Australian Health Professionals Regulatory Authority.
Chiropractors use hands-on manipulation of the musculoskeletal system, usually the spine, to allow for proper alignment and function of all the musculoskeletal components, joints, ligaments, muscles etc.
The basic theory behind chiropractic is that any change within the musculoskeletal system will impact on the nervous system – this could be within the spine or the peripheral system.
When the nervous system is not working properly (compromised), the body cannot function at its full potential and can lead to not only pain, as in an acute sprain or strain, but also dysfunction in any other system in the body where that part of the nervous system is compromised.
Chiropractic is a safe and gentle treatment method which adjusts and aligns the musculoskeletal system to reduce symptoms including; back pain, sciatica, neck pain and headaches, postural changes and extremity pains such as plantar fascitis and tennis elbow.
