All of us at Victoria Park Chiropractic Clinic are thrilled to announce that Dr Simon Kent will be returning to the practice — on a part-time basis at first — commencing Tuesday 1 November.

Make sure to say hello if you see him!

Dr Simon Kent temporarily out of action

Due to an unfortunate accident, Dr Simon Kent has fractured his kneecap and will be unavailable for at least 3 months.

VPCC will continue to operate as per normal with Dr’s Griffiths and Cox taking over and providing the same high level of care administered by Dr Kent.

We appreciate your consideration and the messages of sympathy that we have received! If you want to send Simon a Get Well Soon message, please send an email to admin@vicparkchiro.com.au and we’ll see that he gets it.

Put your best foot forward and Just Start Walking this National Chiropractic Care Week

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 02:40:02 +0000

Chiropractors around the country will be using the month of May to help patients and the community to put their best foot forward and start walking their way to health and wellbeing.

National Chiropractic Care Week 2011 marks the launch of Just Start Walking, a new health initiative that highlights the importance of posture and mobility on our overall health and wellbeing.

It’s no surprise that in modern times we have become much more mobile through portable technology, but physically we are much less active.

Yet our human body is designed for movement, so to keep your spine at its best we need to stay active. After all, an active spine is a healthy spine and a healthy spine leads to a healthier life.

The good news is we can do something about it. We can Just Start Walking. Why walk? Well it’s simple, inexpensive, easy and achievable.

Your overall health can be affected by the health of your spine so use National Chiropractic Care Week to make an appointment with our clinic to assess your spinal health and discuss how you can start walking your way to wellbeing.

To get in tune with your body, contact Victoria Park Chiropractic Clinic for an appointment today.

You can also visit the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia’s new website at www.juststartwalking.com.au and download the mobile phone app to help get you on the front foot to health and wellbeing!

admin — Sun, 15 May 2011 00:52:24 +0000

The first of Victoria Park Chiropractic Clinic’s health forums, the Women’s Health Forum held in October last year, was a huge success. Dr’s Paije Cox and Tania Kent hosted a well-attended event discussing general health issues concerning women and women’s health, with most of those present learning a thing or two about what goes onto and into their bodies!

Feedback from the event was extremely positive, and we’re happy to announce the next in the forum series: the Nutrition Forum, covering issues such as:

what really is the best “diet”?
what are the so-called super-foods?
how does nutrition impact our health?

The Nutrition Forum will be held at Victoria Park Chiropractic Clinic on the evening of Tuesday 7 June* from 7:30pm-8:30pm.

If you are interested in attending, please phone the clinic on 8332 4567 or email admin@vicparkchiro.com.au and leave your details with our wonderful CAs.

Best wishes for the holiday season from VPCC

admin — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:17:17 +0000

What makes our season especially bright is remembering friends we first met as patients. We want to thank you for sharing that special joy with us. Your friendship has been a pleasure, and serving you, our privilege.

Our sincerest wish is that you enjoy the very best of health in the year ahead.

While this time of year can be so stressful it is also a beautiful time of celebration with family, friends and colleagues, and it is a time to be grateful for all the blessings received over the year. At this time we would like to thank all of you for entrusting us with your care and with the care of your family and friends.

The greatest compliment our patients can give is the referral of their friends and loved ones.

Thank you for your trust!

Posture tips

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:47:01 +0000

Posture affects us all in many different ways – from the way we look, to how our bodies function and our health. With so called good or optimal posture we look taller and more confident. We are able to breathe more efficiently. Less stress and strain is placed on our spines, and this in turn reduces irritation to our nervous systems. Our bodies function at their optimum.

So with proper posture, you’ll not only look and feel better, your body will also function better!

When sitting or standing – try to imagine someone pulling on a piece of string attached to the top of your head. Imagine that they pull on the string until you’re upright but not rigidly straight.
Working for extended periods of time in front of a computer can do as much damage to the spine as lifting heavy loads. Always take several breaks (every 20-30 minutes) from sitting – get up and walk around the office, do some stretches.
Ensure your work station is set up adequately to take away any unnecessary strain from the spine.
Try not to sit slumped on the lounge, better still—sit in a high-backed chair.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach
See your Chiropractor for more information!
