Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is effective at providing pain relief because most causes of spinal disorders are related to abnormalities of the spine and the surrounding soft tissue structures.

Spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxation complexes) are caused by many types of stressors including physical, biochemical and emotional stress. The stresses can be a single injury or accumulated through life (eg. desk jobs - sitting for long periods of time where there is lack of motion to the spine). Lack of motion in the spine can cause headaches, neck pain, low back , sciatic and much more.

Doctors of chiropractic are specifically trained to identify and treat misalignments of the vertebrae (subluxations) and their subsequent effect on the central nervous system. The nervous system controls the operation of your entire body and since your spinal cord is an essential part of the nervous system, keeping your spine moving and pain free will help this vital system.

We aim to get you out of pain, educate you on the spine’s role in your health and assist you with any questions regarding nutrition, health, exercise and fitness so you can maintain it in the long term.

Pregnancy Care

When you are pregnant, your body is changing fast. As your baby grows your posture and centre gravity shifts. Headaches, shoulder pain, arm pain, back pain, pubic symphysitis, sciatic pain are common in pregnant ladies. If you would like non-drug healthcare option, we encourage you to see what chiropractic can do for you.

A pregnant woman can see our chiropractors through any stage of her pregnancies. As the belly grows, our techniques are modified to cater for mum and baby keeping both safe and comfortable.

All our Chiropractors have children and are experienced with taking care of pregnant mums. They have all attended pregnancy and paediatric courses to take care of you and your baby on this wonderful journey.

Paediatric Care

We take care of newborns to teenagers. Why? because the spine is growing rapidly through childhood. Babies fall on their bottoms frequently while learning to walk, children play, fall off playground equipment, accidents happen, teenagers slouch and get injuries playing various sports. This causes frequent spinal misalignments (vertebral subluxations complexes) which leads to pain and bad posture, which may result in poor sleep and affect overall health and development..

These days it is very difficult avoid mobile phones, tablets and computers. You may have notice that your child's head has shifted. This is called forward head posture and can lead to headaches and neck pain. We can assess your child’s posture and determine if they need help in correcting it.

How do you adjust a baby?
Our chiropractors have seen hundreds of infants and children. Only low-force, extremely gentle techniques are used, which involves about the same pressure you’d apply to a tomato if you were to check its ripeness.

How often will my child be adjusted?
Our recommendations will vary from child to child, just as they are customised for an adult. We’ll take into account their age, current condition and how quickly they respond to care in what we recommend for your child.

Care for the Elderly

Regardless of age, your health is your most valuable asset. Chiropractic care is extremely important because of the dramatic changes that occur in the spine as you age. Chiropractic care can help provide relief from many ailments and treatment is safe for those with arthritis, low bone density and osteoporosis.

Enjoy pain relief without medication – anti-inflammatory medication and pain relievers only mask symptoms and have many undesirable side effects. Chiropractic care may provide pain relief without medication.
Enjoy increased range of motion of the spine and extremities – chiropractic care has been shown repeatedly to increase the range of motion of the spine and the extremities enabling you to continue doing what you love, such as picking up the grandchildren.
Enjoy better balance and coordination – problems in balance and coordination in the ageing population have been shown to come from injury or degenerative changes to the neck (cervical spine). Studies show that chiropractic care can help restore balance and coordination by stimulating the joint receptors (mechanoreceptors) in the cervical spine.
Manage and treat decreased joint degeneration – a misaligned (subluxated) spine is much like a misaligned wheel on a car. This misalignment will cause the spine (as it does to a wheel) to wear out prematurely. Since all moving parts eventually wear down over time, it is very important to get your spine aligned periodically. Chiropractic care decreases spinal degeneration and other arthritic changes by normalising the spinal alignment and reducing spinal stress.
Decreased incidence of falling – injuries due to falling are extremely common is you age. Chiropractors help reduce the risk of falls by normalising the joint receptors (mechanoreceptors) of the neck (cervical spine) by administering chiropractic adjustments. They also prescribe stretching and exercise programs to increase strength, flexibility, mobility, balance and coordination.
Enjoy better health and wellbeing – once you are no longer in pain, your overall physical and emotional wellbeing improves.
