In today’s fast-paced, technology-driven world, our reliance on smartphones, tablets, and other handheld devices has never been greater. From scrolling through social media to texting and gaming, these daily habits have introduced a modern postural epidemic: text neck syndrome.

Understanding its causes, symptoms, and prevention strategies is essential to maintaining spinal health and ensuring long-term well-being in this digital age.

Vitamin D is a vital nutrient for overall health, playing a crucial role in bone development, immune function, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Despite Australia’s reputation for abundant sunshine, vitamin D deficiency is surprisingly common, affecting a significant portion of the population. Research over the past decade has highlighted not only the importance of maintaining adequate vitamin D levels for bone health, but also its potential to protect against conditions like cancer, autoimmune diseases, and respiratory infections. With lifestyle factors, such as limited sun exposure and dietary habits, influencing vitamin D intake, it’s essential to understand the best ways to maintain healthy levels of this powerhouse vitamin throughout the year.

Plagiocephaly, commonly known as flat head syndrome, is a condition that affects many infants, leading to an unusual flattening of the skull, particularly on one side or the back. With increasing awareness and medical guidance, especially due to campaigns like "Back to Sleep" to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the prevalence of plagiocephaly has risen significantly in recent years. While often not a serious health threat, if left untreated, it can affect a child’s development, including motor skills, cognitive functions, and even social behaviour. This article explores the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for plagiocephaly, with a special focus on how chiropractic care can offer a natural, holistic approach to helping infants recover from the condition and support healthy development.
