25 Years as a Chiropractor
This week I have been reflecting and celebrating my 25 years of being a registered chiropractor. There’s a reason they call it being in practice; I am constantly gaining experience & wisdom and practising my skills, knowing that the learning never stops! I am very grateful to have found my calling at the tender age of 10 – though it took me until I was 23 to achieve my goal to graduate. Thousands of adjustments later I still have the passion to serve for many more years.
I am so appreciative of the communities I have served in Littlehampton, Mt Barker, Mt Gambier, and Goodwood since 1997 and recognise the trust you have placed in me with your health and your families wellbeing.
We're changing practice management software
Across the rest of January, we are upgrading our software to a new system. This may mean we need a few extra seconds while you’re paying and booking, so please be patient and we learn to navigate the new system.
You will also notice a change to the online booking page soon, but we hope that you will come to find it familiar and easy to use with time. If you do have any trouble, please don’t hesitate to call us and book in the old fashioned way!
Please be assured that your personal data will remain safe and secure and backed up, and none of your health data from The Chiropractic Domain or Lisa Scarfo will be affected.
Living with Community Transmission
Since the South Australian borders open and we are now all living with Covid spreading in the community, it has felt like a big shift in attitude, but there has not been a big shift in the public health advice, so we want to assure you that we will continue our Covid-Safe measures until advice changes.
This means that;
- masks are required for all patients over the age of 12 while inside The Chiropractic Domain (unless you have a medical exception)
- QR code check-ins are required upon arrival
- please continue to hand wash or sanitise
- Staff temperature checks are done frequently
- Dr Paula wears a respirator while you’re in the smaller office with her
- All staff wear masks at all times in the building
- Adjusting tables are cleaned between each patient
- Regular sanitising of shared areas, pens and equipment is still occurring.
If you are unwell and have been a close contact of someone with Covid, please do not attend the practice and contact SA Health for guidance on testing and quarantining.
If you are unwell, but have tested negative to Covid-19, and have advice from SA Health that you do not need to isolate, please give us a call to arrange your appointment to be moved to a quiet time of day, away from others who may otherwise be concerned.
We will continue to follow the SA Government advice as it is updated and are grateful to be able to support your health and wellbeing throughout this pandemic.
November 2021
Welcome to another instalment of The Chiropractic Domains semi-regular newsletter Wellness & Wisdom.
For the remainder of November we have two special offers for full-time students. Use the links below to learn more.
Dr Paula shared with us an easy, 1-minute stretch for students but it is an excellent stretch for all of those working in an office and sitting for many hours of the day.
After our October pre-sale, the Archie's arch support thongs have arrived in adult and kids sizes! we have a special offer while stocks last:
The remaining Dr Graham Massager's are just $69.00 while stocks last. We have very limited stock available, so get in quick.
New Product: Bath Salts
We have a new product line of bath salts with a relaxation blend and a rejuvenation blend. They're only $5.00 per packet and each packet is enough for 2 baths, so they're excellent value.
Christmas Closure 2021
Have you booked for December? So that you know, the clinic will be open until 12:30 on Christmas eve and reopen on Tuesday the 4th of January from 9:30am.
December 2020 Update from The Chiropractic Domain
Wellness and Wisdom NewsletterDecember 2020 Edition
Well, it is finally in December in the year we thought never end. We all know how topsy-turvy and challenging it has been, so I am not going dwell on that.
I would love to tell you about some exciting offers and updates this month:
For those who are starting to think about Christmas and looking for a few ideas we have the famous Dr Graeme hand-held massagers.
These are the ones I use on the clinic but mostly I recommend them as a fabulous way to take a layer of tension out for those super tight muscles that get tight form poor posture or over-use in just a few minutes
We have some gift-wrapped and ready to go home for someone you care about for $89 each
Also, some of you may have seen our stock of “Archies” supporting and fashionable thongs. With hot weather beginning its better to be in these than bare feet or completely flat things…after many weeks they can save your feet and legs and knees from needless aching to do not enough support. They also make great stocking filler and extremely reasonable priced at $35. Great for both adult and kids they come in a range of colors and sizes. You can come in- clinic to try one or both products can be bought online for click and collect
Some examples of cases we have been working with recent with positive results include ,
- neck and shoulders issues
- headaches
- knee joint aggravation and post-surgical swelling
- jaw pain
Some of you may not know that in Dr Paula’s treatment approach, she also has been using “Cold laser therapy” (Low-level Pulsed Laser therapy). She has recently upgraded her laser to one that is higher quality and more efficient. She has been using as an adjunct or Chiropractic Care in cases of pain and inflammation from injury or a flare-up of a chronic issues.
This year we are working right up until Christmas eve , doing an extra Shift on Thursday 24h December from 8:30-11:30am to make sure you can get in your final adjustment for this amazing 2020 year we have all experienced.
As you come in for your December adjustment, we would love give you our complimentary hand-made Bath salt/ foot soak salts. These carry the TCD signature essential oil blend to promote resilience and relaxation for that tired body and feet.
We shall close for a break with our families and re-open on Monday January 4th.
Finally heart-felt thank-you to our very loyal client community – that’s YOU for supporting us to support you across this very unique year. We have certainly all learnt a lot and been stretched in ways we could never have expected. Please reflect on the amazing nature of your own nervous system and how its adapted to all sorts of stresses and help you to get through. As your Chiropractor is my absolute privilege to adjust you to help your spine and nervous system keep you going. We are here for you and look forward to doing so into 2021!
Yours in Health Dr Paula & Team
