The Moro reflex, also known as the startle reflex, is a crucial part of early neurological development. Present from birth, it typically integrates within the first few months of life. However, if it remains active beyond infancy, it can contribute to sensory sensitivities, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, ADHD-like behaviours, and coordination difficulties. Understanding how the Moro reflex functions, its potential long-term effects, and how to support proper integration can help improve focus, emotional balance, and overall well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore the science behind the Moro reflex, its connection to neurodevelopmental conditions, and effective strategies for integration.

Struggling with pain between your shoulder blade and spine? Many people assume it’s a muscle issue, but the real culprit is often rib joint dysfunction or referred pain from the neck.

The human skull is often thought of as a rigid structure, but in reality, it exhibits subtle movements that play a crucial role in overall health. These micro-movements, known as cranial motion, help regulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, support nervous system function, and maintain structural balance throughout the body. When cranial motion is restricted, it can contribute to headaches, cognitive issues, postural imbalances, and even systemic health concerns. In this article, we explore the science behind cranial motion, its impact on well-being, and how chiropractic care—especially techniques like Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT)—can restore proper function and enhance vitality.

Good posture is more than just standing tall—it’s the foundation of how your body functions every day. Poor posture doesn’t just lead to back and neck pain; it can impact your breathing, circulation, energy levels, and even your mood. In today’s digital world, prolonged sitting and screen time make postural issues more common than ever. The good news? Small, mindful changes can make a big difference. In this blog, we’ll explore the hidden risks of poor posture and practical steps to improve your alignment, mobility, and overall well-being.

In today’s corporate world, employee well-being is a crucial factor in maintaining productivity, reducing absenteeism, and fostering a positive work environment. Long hours at desks, high stress levels, and sedentary habits contribute to musculoskeletal issues and mental fatigue, impacting both individual performance and business success. At Neurohealth Wellness, we advocate for a proactive approach to corporate work health, integrating ergonomic solutions, movement strategies, and chiropractic care to optimise workplace wellness. In this blog, we explore evidence-based strategies to enhance employee health, prevent workplace injuries, and create a thriving, productive workforce.

Sensorimotor control plays a crucial role in maintaining joint stability, movement efficiency, and overall musculoskeletal health. It is the process by which the central nervous system (CNS) integrates sensory input from joints, muscles, and ligaments to produce coordinated and precise movements. When this system is disrupted—due to injury, pain, or poor movement patterns—it can lead to instability, discomfort, and an increased risk of further injury. At Neurohealth Wellness, our chiropractors specialise in restoring optimal sensorimotor function through targeted adjustments and rehabilitation techniques, helping you move pain-free and regain control over your body.

In the world of healthcare, the terms "disease" and "DIS-EASE" may sound similar, but their meanings and implications are fundamentally different. While disease refers to a specific medical condition diagnosed by physicians, DIS-EASE is a term rooted in chiropractic philosophy, highlighting a state where the body’s natural balance and function are disrupted. At Neurohealth Wellness, we focus on restoring ease to the body by addressing the root causes of dysfunction, allowing the nervous system to function optimally and promoting overall health and healing.

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to your body, but it can also lead to discomfort, including back pain, pelvic instability, and postural imbalances.

At Neurohealth Wellness, our experienced chiropractors provide gentle, tailored treatments to help you feel your best throughout every stage of pregnancy.

Heel pain is a common complaint, but not every case is due to plantar fasciopathy. Many people suffer from an often-overlooked condition called Baxter’s neuropathy—an entrapment of the Baxter’s nerve that mimics plantar fasciopathy but requires a different treatment approach.

At Neurohealth Wellness, our experienced chiropractors take a comprehensive approach to heel pain, using advanced assessment techniques and tailored treatment plans to get you moving pain-free. If your heel pain isn’t improving, it’s time to consider other causes—just ask Mr. Baxter!
