Chiropractors are experts in treating all the joints and muscles in the body and excell at treating the spine, therefore they are also ideally placed to treat upper and lower limb problems, and as more often than not these injuries also have associated spinal problems by seeing a chiropractor these can be dealt with as well. About Chiropractic

There are many things that chiropractic can treat and we may be able to help with:

• Back pain - be it upper, mid or lower back pain, recent or chronic
• Neck pain
• Whiplash
• Headaches and some forms of migraine
• Shoulder problems including frozen shoulder
• Tennis / golfer's elbow
• Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
• Repetive Strain Injuries (RSI)
• Hip problems
• Knee injuries
• Ankle & foot pain
• Sports injuries
• Arthritis - while we cannot reverse the degenerative process we can maintain & improve functioning of surrounding joints.
• Pregnancy & birthing - with pregnancy comes hormonal changes, a shift in body weight and laxity of connective tissues. New stresses are experienced by the lower back and pelvis. Many women report that their pregnancies were easier when they received chiropractic care.

Children

Today's birthing procedures can put tremendous pressure on a child's spine. While injury is less common there is still damage that occurs from pulling, forcing and twisting a baby's young spine, resulting in problems as the child grows up.

Children are also capable of inflicting minor injuries on themselves during their everyday activities of walking, running and playing. Once a child is a little older there is also the consideration of the amount of time spent seated and the weight of the school bag that they insist on carrying on one shoulder.

Get Well, Stay Well

By the time there are symptoms it is usually signs of a bigger underlying problem. Why wait until you don't feel so good to have a check-up?

Chiropractic can help you to get well and we would like to keep you that way. Problems are often caused by repitition of everyday activities such as working at a computer, driving, standing for long periods or lifting. Regular check-ups will minimise the cumulative effects of such activities allowing you to work at your best, helping your body's healing ability and allowing you to deal with whatever life brings.

If you are unsure if chiropractic can help you we offer a free 15 minute consultation (by appointment) to discuss your complaint and establish whether chiropractic would be appropriate for you.
