Barham Christmas Appeal
With Christmas just around the corner, we’re excited to continue our Christmas tradition of supporting families in our community that are less fortunate than others. This year we are supporting Lifeline and we’re collecting unwrapped gifts to ensure every child has a gift on Christmas morning.
By “adopting” a child and selecting a gift tag, you can involve your own family and teach your kids the spirit of giving. Please return your unwrapped gifts (or in a festive gift bag) with the tag attached by December 7th so Lifeline can ensure timely delivery.
Thank-you for your incredible support and generosity. Together, we are making a positive impact on the lives of families in need this holiday season.

Christmas at Barham
As the holiday season draws near, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to all of you who are part of our Chiropractic tribe. Jane has lovingly baked 10 Christmas cakes for the practice, each one taking 8 hours to cook. It’s our way of showing appreciation to you and your trust in our care. Our team will be wrapping each piece of cake with gratitude as a small token of thanks for being part of our community.
Introducing Paris
Paris is the newest member to our team – she is a city girl, born and raised in Brisbane and her favourite place to holiday is New York City .. she looks after her health by going to the gym and eating a balanced diet. When she isn’t at Barham you can find her spending time with her partner and friends, shopping or going to music festivals and concerts.
Spinal tips
We believe that optimal health is a result of consistent, mindful habits. Just as your dentist expects you to brush and floss twice a day, we encourage you to adopt habits that support spinal health and enhance the effect of your adjustments. Here are four simple steps you can take today to improve the effectiveness of your care:
- Stand evenly on both legs – posture matters, and even weight distribution helps reduce stress on your spine and nervous system.
- Sit on both hips evenly – avoid slumping or leaning to one side when sitting.
- Hydrate after your adjustment – Drink water immediately after your adjustment, and aim for at least 1 litre of water per 35 kg of body weight each day.
- Take a 10 minute walk after your adjustment – a gentle walk before sitting down helps your body integrate the adjustment better.
We get the same questions about the best way for you to care for your spine, and our Spinal Care Class is designed to give you the knowledge you need to prevent relapses and improve your overall health and wellbeing. Starting in the new year we will be providing workshops that cover posture, spinal exercises, stress management and sleep improvement. Chris and Daniel will be leading these workshops outside of their regular hours to ensure we are available when its convenient to you. Keep an eye out for upcoming dates – we can’t wait to share these valuable tips with you.
Toowoomba Allstars Softball Sponsorship
We are grateful to be a part of and have the opportunity to support the community and foster healthy active lifestyles. This year, we’ve had the privilege of sponsoring the Toowoomba Allstars Softball team. Through our support, we’ve helped provide jerseys for the kids, and we’re thrilled to see them engaging in a sport that enhances hand-eye co-ordination, cardiovascular health and teamwork.
Family and Friends Day
On November 16th, we held our final Family and Friends day for 2024, and what a joy it was to meet all of the new faces! It is a privilege to serve each of you, and have the opportunity to support your loved ones on their journey to better health.
If you’re new to the practice, welcome, our Family and Friends day is a special occasion where we invite you to bring in those close to you who might benefit from Chiropractic care, whether from pain relief, posture correction or overall wellness. We understand life can get busy, we host it on a Saturday morning to make it more convenient for everyone. As a gift to you and your family we offer a reduced price for these appointments. We’ve pencilled in three weekends for next year, so keep an eye out for the dates – We are grateful that you trust us with the health of your families and friends.
