Trusted chiropractic information
We’re so excited to launch Your Body Works’ new blog providing trusted chiropractic information for parents.
We know parents are seeking qualified, easy-to-understand information to support their children from pregnancy through childhood and beyond. There are many conditions that may present themselves throughout childhood which are not easily understood.
Your Body Works’ qualified and experienced chiropractors will write blog posts to educate parents on a range of conditions and general wellness advice to provide physical, nutritional and emotional care for children from pregnancy through to adolescence. Our beautiful babies don’t come with a manual so we’re sure you will find these few regular hints and tips handy along the way.
Choose a topic via the Categories headings to the right. For blog post notifications like us on Facebook and you’ll see them feature in your news feed; otherwise keep coming back to this page for more.
We’re always interested to hear what areas are of interest to you. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like us to cover a specific topic, and we’ll have our qualified chiropractors develop a blog post for you.
If you find our posts interesting and educational, please share with family and friends via links at the bottom of the page.

Are Growing Pains Really Just Growing Pains?
Are Growing Pains Really Just Growing Pains?
Growing pains are something most parents have heard of — that aching,
burning or cramping pain in the legs (often both) that tends to strike in the
evening or at night and then disappears by morning. They’re common
between the ages of 3–12 and can come and go over months or even years.
Vitamin D the sunshine vitamin, fighting the good fight for you.
So many people and families are unwell at the moment. Influenza and Covid 19 are everywhere. Research now shows that supplementation with Vitamin D3 can reduce the risk of infection. It is recommended that people at risk of influenza &/or Covid 19 consider taking 10 000 IU/day for a few weeks to rapidly raise vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is essential for your immune system function as it plays a vital role in modulating the immune system. It helps regulate the production and function of immune cells, such as T cells and macrophages, which are important for fighting infections.
