Chiropractors treat more than back pain
We provide back pain (and related pain) treatment using proven chiropractic techniques
Pain and restriction of movement comes in many degrees of severity. By the time you’re experiencing any type of pain there’s likely to have been a sequence of events throughout your body over time that caused it to eventually show up.
We’ve come to accept that back pain is part of life—it’s one of the most common health complaints of modern times. Not surprising given the sedentary and often stressful nature of the working world since the advent of technology at our fingertips.
But, that isn’t going to change, so we need to look at how we adapt other ways to manage our health to ensure we’re functioning optimally.
Our ultimate objective is to see you living life with freedom of movement and absence of pain, or as close as we can get you to it.
Rather than treat the isolated spinal (or related pain) issue, we look at your entire musculoskeletal system and how each part of your body is (or isn’t) moving. We also examine your lifestyle to pinpoint other internal and external environmental causes.
Only then can we formulate the most efficient chiropractic care with supporting supplement and product recommendations that will both suit your needs and get you back to life in a flash.

Spinal and neck conditions
There are countless indicators that can lead to restricted joint motion along the bones of the back and neck, which subsequently affects the associated nerves.
Our approach combines a range of gentle manual adjusting techniques, with the integration of ‘activator’ adjusting where we see it will benefit you. The activator is an instrument which can be used in place of manual adjusting in the instance your level of pain falls into the acute category.
What about the ‘cracking’—does it hurt?
We appreciate this is a concern for many who are new to chiropractic care, and we answer this in more depth on our FAQs page. Don’t let it concern you, chiropractic care is a long proven, safe and effective way to manage back pain and many associated issues originating from the spine.

Extremities conditions: arms, legs, sprains and strain injuries
Where there are bones and joints, chiropractors can help.
The demands of physical or repetitive activity on the arms, wrists, legs, feet and shoulders can cause issues that don’t always originate from the spine. Or, if injury to any of these areas occurs, the rest of the body often naturally adapts to compensate, which can eventually result in referred pain to other extremities.
Chiropractic care can help to correct biomechanical imbalances of the extremities while identifying how the skeletal framework adapts to compensate. A holistic analysis and treatment plan minimises the risk of relapse while the weakened area is being adjusted and strengthened.

Inversion traction for lumbar disc bulge, slipped disc and sciatica conditions
For people with lower back issues, inversion traction is a proven technique to help ease the pressure and pain that results from these persistent issues.
Inversion traction may help the following conditions:
With the body secured in place, the inversion method decompresses the spinal column, while also providing complete anti-gravity muscular relaxation for the surrounding spinal muscles. You have the control to switch between inversion and an upright position during the recommended inversion time.
Patients with disc related issues find great relief with this treatment and there are many additional long-term benefits:

- Sciatica
- Herniated or slipped discs
- Disc degeneration
- Lumbar disc bulge
- Back Pain
- Spinal stenosis
- Facet syndrome
- Muscle tension
- Muscle spasm

Patients with disc related issues find great relief with this treatment and there are many additional long-term benefits:
- Natural spine realignment
- Increased motion and resilience
- Relieve the nerve roots from pinching sensation
- Better shock absorption and mobility through the joints
- Rejuvenated discs via nutrient flow through the spinal cord
- Uses gravity and body weight to stretch muscles and spine
Rehabilitation exercise prescription
Our prescriptive exercise approach centres on assessing biomechanical function, body positioning during training, and the role the spine and nervous system play during sport and physical activity.
In gaining comprehensive knowledge of your condition and goals, we’ll devise a thorough, customised rehabilitation plan. Our approach is centred on joint mobility first, which then eases muscular and tendon movement.
