Chiropractic

We check that your nervous system is functioning without interference.

Back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica…..in fact any type of pain is your body’s response to excessive load or stress. In fact your body may be able compensate so well that you don’t feel the stresses building up, but our Chiropractors are highly trained to examine the whole body to find areas of stress on your nervous system. All too often people focus on the pain, rather than looking at the big picture – the reason the problem developed in the first place!

When an area of stress is discovered our Chiropractors determine the best way to help reduce that stress, and an adjustment is performed. We do not CRACK BACKS or PUSH BONES BACK INTO PLACE. An adjustment is a specific, high speed and low force designed to reduce the stress in the area and restore good functional movement.

Subluxation is the Chiropractic terminology given to the areas of stress that affect the flow of nerve impulses; and these areas often involve reduced movement, muscle spasm and can become inflamed. All too often the areas of Subluxation are not painful, which is why they are ignored but can lead to premature degeneration of the joints and discs in that area.

Chiropractic adjustments are SAFE and PAIN FREE – our Chiropractors are all registered and members of the Chiropractic Association of Australia ensuring you the highest level of care possible.

In everyday life 

• Social interaction plays a critical role in our overall level of wellbeing, so during this time of “social distancing” we need to take advantage of the wonderful technology we have available to us. make phone calls, Skype and FaceTime to family and friends daily.
• Keeping positive and having “Hope” plays an important role in reducing stress, whilst we understand this is an extraordinary event we must remember we have an incredible medical system here in Australia and the measures that have been imposed have managed to keep Australia in good shape.
• Humor, watch comedies to help lift the mood.
• Movement and exercise, as this is another way to boost you immune system. We have seen many online exercise classes since the gyms have closed but we can do many activities on our own likes squats, star jumps or even stepping up on our toes.
• Diet with fresh fruit and vegetables. It is easy to resort to “comfort foods” alcohol and snacks which can create chemical stress in the body and reduce our immune defence.
• Managing pain, as this can reduce sleep and create inflammatory changes in the body. This along with pain medication will also reduce your body’s natural defences.
