"Just a bit of whiplash."

It's the most common musculoskeletal injury from a car crash, but it shouldn't be brushed off.

Some people believe it just means your neck is a bit sore, but it cause pain elsewhere, such as in your shoulders, arms; it can lead to headaches and dizziness and may even involve neurological involvement.

Look at these 5 facts about whiplash from the Australian Physiotherapy Association, or chat to your local physiotherapist.

Don't just put up with physical pain or discomfort - get help today.

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that is more common in people with lymphoedema or chronic swelling. Managing swelling, caring for your skin, treating wounds or fungal infections, and maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce the risk of cellulitis recurring. Compression may also help manage swelling if advised by your healthcare professional.

The ALA has developed a new patient resource on understanding cellulitis in lymphoedema and chronic swelling - check it out today.

Are you a new mum, experiencing sore wrists?

Talk to your local physio about diagnosis and management of the pain. Repetitive activities like lifting and feeding your baby, scrolling on the phone or carrying heavy objects like capsules can aggregate your wrists. Don’t ignore the pain - talk to a health professional to find out more on management and treatment options.
