What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a non-invasive, effective and drug free approach to body balance and health. It has been safely practiced for 113 years and continues to positively affect the health and wellbeing of Australians of all ages, from infants to the elderly.

The brain communicates with the nervous system to co-ordinate your bodily functions from digestion, to breathing to immune response. The nervous system is just like any communication system; it sends messages. That is how it balances, heals and regulates mechanisms in your body.

Vertebral subluxation

Vertebral subluxation (spinal misalignment) blocks your nerve passageways. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce a defensive posture. Muscles contract locking spinal joints that pinch or irritate nearby nerves. This sets the stage for disease and ill health with your spine, muscles and internal organs. Most spinal misalignments are minor and painless and people are unaware of them, or they can be major and hurt very much. Although minor they can affect your spinal mobility, the capacity of your muscles and organs to function optimally and hence your overall balance and health.

What causes a subluxation?

Spinal subluxations (misalignments) are caused by exposure to different types of daily stress which can upset the delicate balance within the body.

Mental Stress
Includes stress from relationships and work resulting in physiological changes such as heightened blood pressure, blood glucose and heart rate.

Physical Stress
This can include falls, injuries, poor posture, pregnancy, child birth (for both mother and baby),whiplash, sporting knocks & accident trauma.

Chemical Stress
This can include any toxins ingested into the body from pollutants to excessive sugar, alcohol and drugs.
