Do you want to see the back of your back pain?

Spinal stability is achieved by “stiffening” the muscles around the low back and abdomen AND teaching your body to move in a spine-sparing way (spine-sparing means that the hips do most of the movement rather than the spine).

Exercises during lockdown have been key to coping without my regular chiropractic adjustments. As a chiropractor in Eastbourne I am used to being active with my job so changes in activity have affected my body. I am now missing my adjustments and also sitting more and adopting some odd postures too. The exercises I have found most useful target posture and glute activation.

If you have suffered from a shoulder injury then these exercises may be for you. This blog will help those of you who have had a shoulder injury to gently strengthen the shoulder musculature and therefore work to stabilise the shoulder joint itself. Simple home-strengthening exercises for the shoulder can be done daily, however, make sure you check with your chiropractor at Lushington clinic in Eastbourne first.

Chiropractic treatment is most famous for treating muscle and joint aches and pains. As well as using hands-on (manual) techniques (like massage and manipulation) we use a range of other approaches to help when needed.

I remember my Mum telling us as kids that if the wind changed whilst you were pulling a face you’d get stuck like it. We all knew it wasn’t true but repeated the same saying to our friends.

The same could be said of the fears of an epidemic of hunched posture because of mobile phone use.

How many hours do you spend sitting at a desk? If it’s anything like most of us, then the answer would be ‘a lot’!

In my previous jobs, before retraining as a chiropractor, I spent between 7 and 9 hours per day sitting down in front of a PC. That’s a HUGE proportion of the day. A bad desk setup or chair can have a big impact on how you feel and how your spine works simply because of the time spent in that position.

My name is Emma and I’m a chiropractor working in Eastbourne. We all know that since March 2020 the world turned upside down, and many of us are getting used to a new ‘normal’ way of life.
As a chiropractor in Eastbourne, this means getting used to new PPE procedures, but for a large population of Eastbourne it also means adapting to …

A question I often ask my guests (patients), who come to see me at the chiropractic clinic in Eastbourne, is “what position do you sleep in?”. Similarly, a question I often get asked in return is “what is the best sleeping position for my back and neck?”

If you are a long or a short-term sufferer of back pain, then you may know that feeling of being stiff and achey in the mornings. What a horrible way to wake up! This blog will help you to minimise or even avoid this feeling, and better prepare your body for a more pleasant, less painful wake-up.

Chiropractors are trained to have a detailed understanding of how the body functions and what we can do to look after ourselves. Water is well known for its revitalising properties, yet even though it is essential to health, the benefits of drinking water are often overlooked. Water is often ignored as one of the six basic nutrients alongside carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, proteins and minerals.

I love Salmon, and given how good it is for you, so should you. Not only does it taste great but it can also provide some great health benefits.

So how much do you know about salmon?  Most of us know its a fish with a pinky/orange type colour, but what beyond this?  Below I have given some of the reasons I love salmon.

I often see my chiropractic patients when I’m out and about around Eastbourne. Today I was asked whether eggs are good for us or not.

In the news they seem to swap from being super healthy to causing heart disease in an instant, so hopefully this blog can help clear up any confusion.

James Revell from Lushington Chiropractic in Eastbourne gives a crash course in breathing correctly, and talks about how abdominal breathing can reduce stress.

Abdominal breathing is a breathing technique used to help activate all the appropriate breathing muscles in your body and can help to reduce stress. To do this technique; you push your stomach outwards when you breathe in, and inwards as you breathe out.

The spine and posture are important factors in the ability of the body to cope with stress. In fact, a healthy spine and nervous system can help to manage stress more effectively.

Everyone experiences stress on a daily basis due to the modern world that we live in, and the increase in demand for our time and attention. Stress, in its negative sense can be defined as an imbalance of the bodily system(s) due to excessive stimulus, that upsets normal functioning and disturbs mental or physical health.
