General Health Issues
General health and well-being is more than the absence of pain and prevention of health problems. Rather, it is about being able to enjoy life to its fullest and performing at your highest level emotionally, physically, and socially.
Your nervous system controls every aspect of your body. Therefore, to truly reach your optimum health and well-being you must have a properly functioning nervous system.
Chiropractic care aims to restore and maintain your health by removing nerve pressure that can be caused by poor spinal function – Vertebral Subluxations. Chiropractic care can also be of benefit with the following :
- Poor Posture and Postural re-alignment
- Wellness Care
- General pain, Stiffness and Tension
- Scoliosis
- Disc Injuries
Infants and Children
The birth process can cause tension on your baby’s spine.
Many parents are amazed at how such gentle and non-invasive care can make such a positive impact on the health of their child.
Chiropractic care of infants and children is different to adults. Adjustments are remarkably gentle and safe, and can even be performed with Mum or Dad holding their child!
Chiropractors can assist with the following:
- Toe in or toe out of your child
- Assess for hip dysplasias or hip issues
- Assess for head deformities
- Measure child’s height, weight and head circumference
- Assess for childhood scoliosis and posture
Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common condition that is caused by stress to the soft tissues, bones or joints of the cervical spine.
The neck is extremely flexible and allows for a large degree of movement. Due to this flexibility, and the relatively large weight of the head it also supports, the neck is prone to frequent injury.
The most common causes of neck pain result from poor posture (including the use of poor quality pillows), accidents such as whiplash, sporting injuries and arthritis.
Chiropractors can assist with the following:
- Torticollis or Wry Neck
- Chronic Pain and Stiffness
- Osteoarthritis
- Whiplash
- Numbness and Tingling of the Hands
