About Chiropractic Care

Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, manage and help prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles) and to help with the effects these disorders can have on the nervous system and general health.

Although Chiropractors are most commonly associated with Back and Neck Pain, Chiropractors can also be consulted to help with a range of other conditions such as:

Extremity Joint pain such as knees and shoulders
Headaches associated with neck dysfunction
Sporting aches and pains
Pregnancy related musculoskeletal aches and pains
Aches and pains associated with Osteoarthritis

* Please note, this list is not inclusive of all conditions. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Chiropractic treatments are bespoke to the patient and may include a combination of the following:

Chiropractic Adjustments

Dysfunctional joints cause a cascade of problems from inflammation and pain in acute cases, to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis in chronic cases. Chiropractic adjustments stimulate the nervous system to create normal joint function, which keeps your body working at its best. An audible clicking is often heard when performing adjustments, this is nothing to worry about, and is just gas bubbles in the joints dispersing.

Soft Tissue Therapies

Muscles make joints move. If there are any imbalances, or excess tension in the muscles, joints cannot function properly. Soft tissue techniques helps to normalise the function of muscles. Techniques can include spot massage, trigger point therapy, medical acupuncture,and muscle energy techniques. Your Chiropractor will discuss your preferences with you prior to treatment.

Corrective Exercise

Chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapies are a great way to get relief from musculoskeletal pain, and to maintain optimum joint function. Once the muscles and joints are functioning properly, corrective exercises train and strengthen a healthy movement pattern for a long term benefit.
