Chiropractic
Chiropractic is an effective, non-invasive, and drug free form of health care. It is the third largest form of healthcare in Australia and it has helped millions of people worldwide. In Australia Chiropractors are the spinal health care experts with 5 years of full time University training.
Chiropractic works on the scientific premise that the body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. The nervous system is the principal controller of the body, and when there is interference with the nervous system, the body cannot regulate itself properly.
The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the intricate communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Changes in spinal mechanics and alignment can impair these nervous system pathways, which in turn can cause malfunction of tissue and organ function throughout the body.
Chiropractic can help with:
Neck Pain
Headaches/Migraines
Back Pain
Sciatica
Fatigue
Poor Sleep
Scoliosis
Carpal Tunnel
TMJ (Jaw) pain or clicking
Poor posture
Hip Pain
Shoulder Pain
Bursitis
By restoring normal spinal mechanics, Chiropractors are able to restore nervous system function to improve health and reduce pain. This is achieved by applying corrections to the specific spinal segments over a series of adjustments, utilising a variety of techniques to suit each individual patient.
