Conditions general chiropractic care can help with

Back pain

Back pain

It’s estimated that 70-90% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives, which can make everyday tasks challenging and affect relationships. Causes of back pain can include poor posture, prolonged sitting, inadequate exercise, or improper lifting techniques. It can manifest as sharp, localised pain, dull aches, or numbness and tingling in the legs. Our chiropractors will focus on identifying the root cause of your discomfort and providing solutions to prevent its recurrence.

Neck pain

Neck pain is a common problem, which up to 50% of people will experience in their lifetime. Local pain, stiffness, and difficulty turning can indicate joint issues in your neck, which may irritate nearby nerves and cause muscle weakness or tightness. Our chiropractors can diagnose and treat neck pain, helping you understand its cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

Neck pain
Headaches and migraines

Headaches and migraines

Currently, around 4 million Australians take pain medication to mask their headache symptoms. Many patients think headaches and migraines are a normal part of life, but they can actually signal underlying issues. We can help pinpoint the specifics: when headaches start, how movement affects them, their type, duration, and frequency, and their impact on your life. However your headache or migraine shows up, we’re here to help.

Poor posture

We understand that poor posture can affect you mentally and physically, causing slouched appearance, neck humps, and physical pain. While the causes and impacts of poor posture can vary, chiropractic care can assist in accurately identifying the problem and implementing an effective treatment plan.

Poor posture
Dizziness and vertigo

Dizziness and vertigo

Dizziness or vertigo can come on when your body isn’t clear on where it is in space. We call this proprioception, and when this isn’t working properly it can leave you feeling unsteady, nauseous and even unsafe on your feet. Our chiropractic team can help to identify the cause of your dizziness and vertigo, and therefore help you to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Shoulder pain

Roughly one in four Australians experience shoulder pain. Symptoms, such as pain or catching during arm movement, arm weakness, or arm numbness, can develop suddenly or gradually over time. Our chiropractors conduct thorough examinations to pinpoint the source of your shoulder pain, and can create a tailored plan to improve your shoulder function.

About chiropractic care

The chiropractic profession, established in 1895, is based on the understanding that a properly functioning spine and nervous system are crucial to human health. Chiropractors are trained to help treat issues related to your musculoskeletal system and nervous system. This includes advising on healthy lifestyle habits, teaching methods to improve posture, offering guidance on desk ergonomics, and performing chiropractic adjustments and spinal manipulation techniques.
