Chiropractic

To understand the benefits we need to first appreciate that the spine is a sophisticated structure and in order for it to function well between the demands of our modern lifestyle, it is understandable that it requires a great deal of control. Due to over or under-use, spinal problems can often progress for a period of time without signs or symptoms, similar to that of tooth decay. These issues if not managed can lead to the loss of the intricate control system which our spine requires, causing unwanted injuries, joint restrictions, pain and extra burdens on an individual’s overall function.

“Spinal manipulation” or “chiropractic adjustment” is a gentle and controlled force that is manually applied to a restricted joint and is known to exhibit many benefits. These not only include the restoration of joint mobility and the alleviation of pain but also a positive impact on our nervous system and the control centre in our brain to restore control and function, thereby allowing our body to heal.

During pregnancy your body can sustain significant stress as it goes through many different changes. These stressors can present in the form of lower back pain and general aches or discomfort. Thankfully, chiropractic has historically shown positive effects on such presentations during pregnancy as well as improving the labour experience and recovery.

Similarly, such positive effects have been known to be true in the extremes of the demographic. The vast range of problems that are often associated with babies (birth trauma and nursing difficulties) and in the elderly population (poor balance, stiff and achy joints) can often profit from chiropractic care.

Yes, we offer a 10 minute complimentary appointment that can be booked with our chiropractor for you to find out if you are a suitable candidate for our services.

This consists of a thorough health history and assessment focused on your area of concern. The findings will provide us with a better understanding of your condition and best plan of action. Moreover, in the absence of significant contraindications, the practitioner will carry out the necessary treatment indicated. The overall period of the consultation will vary depending upon the complexity of your case. For more information please call reception on 09 623 1578.
