The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and glands that helps to circulate lymphatic fluid around the body. This fluid is responsible for transporting waste products and toxins out of the body, and when it becomes blocked, these waste products and toxins can accumulate in the body, leading to swelling and discomfort in the legs. Chiropractic care can help to improve lymphatic drainage by improving the circulation of lymphatic fluid, allowing it to flow more freely throughout the body and reduce the symptoms of leg swelling and discomfort.

At Hyperhealth Allied Health, we use a variety of techniques to improve lymphatic drainage, including soft tissue massage, joint manipulation, stretching and exercise. Soft tissue massage helps to break up adhesions in the lymphatic system and improve the flow of lymphatic fluid, while joint manipulation helps to restore mobility to the joints and muscles, which can reduce swelling and discomfort. Stretching and exercise can also help to improve circulation and reduce swelling, while also strengthening the muscles and joints.

In addition to these treatments, our team of Marrickville chiropractors also use lifestyle and dietary advice to help improve lymphatic drainage. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals can help to improve the body’s ability to process and eliminate toxins, while avoiding foods that can increase inflammation and swelling, such as processed and sugary foods. We also recommend regular exercise to help improve circulation and reduce swelling, as well as plenty of rest and relaxation.

At Hyperhealth Allied Health, we are dedicated to helping our patients improve their lymphatic drainage and reduce the symptoms of leg swelling and discomfort. Our team of experienced and dedicated chiropractors use a variety of techniques to help improve lymphatic drainage, including soft tissue massage, joint manipulation, stretching and exercise, as well as lifestyle and dietary advice.

Children's Podiatry: A Guide for Parents

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that deals with diagnosing and treating disorders of the feet and lower limbs. A podiatrist (also known as a chiropodist) is a healthcare professional who specialises in this field. Podiatry is a relatively new branch of medicine, only emerging as a distinct profession in the early 20th century. However, the field has grown rapidly in recent years, owing to increasing awareness of the importance of foot health. Today, podiatrists play an important role in keeping people mobile and active. They often treat conditions such as bunions, heel pain, ingrown toenails and Achilles tendonitis. In addition, they can provide advice on footwear and foot care for people with diabetes or other medical conditions that put them at risk of foot problems.‍

Why does dry needling hurt?

Dry needling is a type of therapy that involves inserting thin needles into the skin and muscles. The needles are usually made of stainless steel and are very thin, so they cause minimal pain when inserted. However, some people report feeling a brief, sharp pain when the needle enters the skin. There are several theories as to why dry needling causes this pain. One theory is that the needles stimulate nerve endings in the skin and muscles, which triggers a pain response. Another theory is that dry needling causes a release of chemicals called cytokines, which can increase pain sensitivity. It’s important to note that while dry needling may cause some discomfort, it is generally not considered painful. Many people find relief from their chronic pain after undergoing dry needling therapy.

Syndesmosis Injury: How to prevent and recover

A syndesmosis injury is a serious condition that can occur when the bones in the ankle joint are not properly aligned. This can happen when the foot is planted awkwardly, or the ankle is twisted. If not treated properly, a syndesmosis injury can lead to long-term problems. There are two main types of syndesmosis injuries: anterolateral and posterior. Anterolateral injuries are more common when the foot is planted awkwardly on an uneven surface. Posterior injuries are less common and occur when the ankle is twisted. If you think you have a syndesmosis injury, it is important to see a doctor right away. Treatment will vary depending on the severity of the injury but may include rest, ice, elevation, and immobilization. Surgery may also be necessary in some cases.
