In everyday life 

• Social interaction plays a critical role in our overall level of wellbeing, so during this time of “social distancing” we need to take advantage of the wonderful technology we have available to us. make phone calls, Skype and FaceTime to family and friends daily.
• Keeping positive and having “Hope” plays an important role in reducing stress, whilst we understand this is an extraordinary event we must remember we have an incredible medical system here in Australia and the measures that have been imposed have managed to keep Australia in good shape.
• Humor, watch comedies to help lift the mood.
• Movement and exercise, as this is another way to boost you immune system. We have seen many online exercise classes since the gyms have closed but we can do many activities on our own likes squats, star jumps or even stepping up on our toes.
• Diet with fresh fruit and vegetables. It is easy to resort to “comfort foods” alcohol and snacks which can create chemical stress in the body and reduce our immune defence.
• Managing pain, as this can reduce sleep and create inflammatory changes in the body. This along with pain medication will also reduce your body’s natural defences.

Please call us on (07) 5539-9798 if you have any concerns or further suggestions.

Dr Elise Willcocks – Chiropractor

“I have been wanting to move to the Gold Coast with my 5 children, and when I met the team here at Surfers Paradise Chiropractic health and wellness centre I realised I had found exactly the right practice to join. having started my studies a little later in life it gave me time to make some really important decisions on not only what I wanted to do by also why.

For me the results I had received through Chiropractic care personally and then also with my children when they were babies really inspired me to be able to help people like that too. Although studying with young children was a challenge and a sacrifice – my children were always very supportive, and now my eldest daughter has finished high school and is hoping to study Chiropractic also.

Having spent the last 2 years in Canberra I was blessed to have worked along side a very experienced Chiropractor who was also a qualified naturopath. This experience really enabled me to fine tune my skills, working closely with chronic arthritis sufferers looking after not just their spinal adjustments but also their diets, supplementation, exercise and even state of mind through breathing and relaxation techniques.

Having of my own I also fully understand the desire and need to be able to make the right choice when it comes to health care for our children. This is not always an easy process, but I learnt to always look at the least invasive treatment first and then increase if required. This is why becoming a Chiropractor was so appealing to me as not only are baby and child adjustments very safe and gentle, the can stimulate incredible changes in the body, helping it move from sickness to wellness relatively quickly.

I look forward to being able to work with you and your families to keep a healthy spine and active life.
