Sesamoiditis is one of the most common causes of pain beneath the big toe joint, yet it’s often misunderstood and easily overlooked. At Neurohealth Wellness on the Northern Beaches, we help people overcome sesamoid-related pain by restoring natural foot strength, mobility, and movement, rather than relying on rigid orthotic devices. Understanding how these tiny bones function—and how modern footwear and daily habits can overload them—is the first step toward long-term relief and healthier feet.

Hip pain can be stubborn—especially when you’ve stretched, strengthened, foam-rolled, activated your glutes, and still feel that deep ache every time you train, walk or even rest. At Neurohealth Wellness on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, we often see that the true cause of long-term hip pain isn’t actually the hip at all. In many cases, the problem starts much lower… with the big toe. When your big toe loses its ability to extend and load properly, your entire movement chain becomes compromised, forcing the hip to compensate. In this blog, we break down why this happens, how one patient finally overcame three years of hip pain by restoring big toe mobility, and why a global movement screen is the key to long-lasting results.

Have you noticed your little one walking with their toes turned inward or their legs curving outward? It’s natural to feel concerned — but in most cases, pigeon-toed walking (in-toeing) and bow legs are part of normal growth and development. At Neurohealth Wellness on the Northern Beaches, we see many parents worried about how their child walks or stands. Our chiropractors are trained to identify what’s normal, what needs monitoring, and when gentle chiropractic care can help support proper movement and alignment as your child grows.

Wrist pain is becoming increasingly common in today’s digital world — from scrolling on phones and typing at desks to repetitive lifting or leaning on one hand. These habits place constant strain on delicate wrist structures, often leading to tightness, inflammation, or nerve irritation. At Neurohealth Wellness on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, our chiropractors understand that lasting relief comes from more than just easing symptoms — it’s about restoring proper joint alignment, improving strength and flexibility, and addressing the underlying causes of imbalance.

A good night’s sleep isn’t just about how long you rest — it’s about how well your body is supported while you sleep.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how to optimise your sleeping position to promote healing, reduce pressure, and support pain-free rest.
