What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is the world’s largest medication free and non-surgical health care profession. It is the most heavily researched natural healthcare profession in the world and is proven to be a gentle, safe and a highly effective for people of all ages.

Chiropractic is the Science of locating and correcting motion restriction of the spine. Restriction of the spine can:
Irritate spinal joints and vertebral discs causing pain.
Injure surrounding structures such as ligaments and muscles that create discomfort.
Cause swelling and inflammation that may interfere with spinal nerve pathways that reduces your body’s ability to co-ordinate its function and adapt to changing requirements.

What does a chiropractor do?

Doctors of chiropractic are primary contact healthcare professionals, highly qualified to assess, discuss and resolve any health problem you may have. Your chiropractor makes adjustments to your body to improve normal positioning, movement and function of the spine.

A healthy functioning spine allows the body to heal itself and removes stresses and imbalances that may affect your health and lifestyle. Chiropractic adjustment include chiropractic manipulation, soft tissue therapy, muscle re-education and home advice.

How can chiropractic help?

Many people seek chiropractic care for joint and muscular pain. Although great results are achieved with these problems, chiropractic can help a wide range of symptoms. Some of them include:

  • Athritis Stress Colic

  • Sciatica Dizziness Bedwetting

  • Headache / Migraines Digestive Problems Poor Posture

  • Tired / Fatigue Menstrual Pain Constipation

  • Numbness Sore Feet Jaw Pain

  • Ringing in the ears Sleeping problems Shoulder Pain

  • Pins and needles Breathing Difficulties Repetitive Strain Injuries
It is important that everyone gets their spine checked, whether they have symptoms or not. Pain can indicate a problem, however, only 10% of your nerves perceive pain, the other 90% are what makes your body function.

Just as a heart attack is not the first sign of heart problems, nerve interference can be represent for a long period of time before symptoms. This is why visiting your chiropractor for periodic checkups, just like you see your dentist for dental checkups, is essential for your optimal health and well-being.

The First Visit

Your initial consultation will consist of a thorough history and examination to accurately diagnose your individual condition. A comprehensive postural, orthopaedic, neurological and chiropractic assessment will follow. Radiographic analysis may be required as it forms an important element in the accurate diagnosis and safe treatment to many patients.

Second Visit

After thoroughly assessing your history, examination and radiographic findings, your chiropractor will explain to you the report of findings. He will then tailor a specific chiropractic treatment and health regime best suited to your health and well-being.

Return Visit

Acute
This acute phase of care is important to bring about change to your body. Generally, symptoms are due to inflammation and swelling caused by restriction of the spine. Repeated visits over a short period may be required to reduce the inflammation and eliminate the cause of the problem.

Rehabilitative & Preventative
This phase involves lengthened periodic check ups to help you maintain your spinal function, mobility and total body health. Many patients prefer to avoid re-occurance and detect small imbalances before they become serious.

Myotherapy
The clinic also has a myotherapist who works in close conjunction with both chiropractors. Myotherapy is a highly successful way to reduce musclar pain and optimize muscle performance. Most patients chose both forms of therapy to manage their health and optimize well-being. Your chiropracto is able to inform you if you will benefit from this therapy.
