What good spine health means for your body and wellbeing

The movements your body makes, the tastes and sensations it feels is made possible through the remarkable communication between your brain, your spinal cord and the nerve impulses which control your living cells- your organs, tissues and muscles.

If any of the 24 spinal bones responsible for protecting your spinal cord are thrown out of whack, they pinch on the neighbouring nerve, blocking its ability to communicate between your living cells, spinal cord and brain. Your nerve responds in the form of back pain, neck pain or headaches and related disorders to alert you that something has gone wrong.

Why see a Chiropractor instead of other medical options?

• For safe, effective therapy without medicines or surgery

The central component of Chiropractic is to relieve your pain without the use of medication and surgery. Our emphasis is on how we can manage the neuro-musculoskeletal system to repair your body naturally and holistically.

We provide diagnosis, effective therapeutic procedures and preventative measures which are safe, painless and non-invasive. This is fundamental to chiropractic treatment for back pain, neck pain and headaches.

How to Repair your body naturally

As chiropractors, we are passionate about treating the root cause of your pain and educating you to listen to your body. Understanding how your body works, stimulating its natural ability to heal itself and the little things you can do to maintain its healthy function is an important part of your treatment program with us.

How a Chiropractor can help you

The rigorous training a chiropractor receives to correct spinal problems and associated pain is exclusive to the chiropractic profession. Chiropractors specialise in a procedure called a “spinal adjustment”, which corrects misaligned spinal bones, known as “vertebrae”. These vertebrae are responsible for protecting your spinal cord, which restores proper function to your spinal column.

A healthy spinal column stimulates your nervous system to function properly and is your weapon to fight off the effects of wear and tear on your body.

How safe is Chiropractic?

The word ‘Chiropractic’ originates from the greek meaning ‘done by hand’. Chiropractic is renowned as a conservative approach to pain management, and as its origins indicate, the majority of Chiropractic adjustments are performed by hand to gently adjust the misaligned vertebrae back into their proper position.

We work on a wide range of people from infants to the elderly, therefore gentleness is always our priority.

Is Chiropractic the best treatment for back pain?

Extensive international research has indicated that in comparison with more traditional management including physiotherapy and medication, chiropractic management of back pain- particularly for patients with chronic and severe back pain- is

• Safer
• More cost effective, and
• Achieves faster pain relief and improvements

It also suggests greater patient satisfaction with chiropractic care.
