Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is a safe and effective way of treating a myriad of musculoskeletal problems. Its philosophy and approach to wellbeing centres around the bodies own natural ability to function and heal itself. Our practitioner’s aim is to recreate balance in the body by stabilising the forces placed upon a joint complex. Correct alignment improves overall biomechanics creating optimal nervous system and muscular function, allowing adaptation and decreasing the prevalence of injury.

Our Chiropractors uses various styles of treatment including remedial massage, mobilisations, manipulations (adjustments), exercises and rehabilitation. Our goal is to “not only fix the fault but correct the cause”.

 
Is it safe?

At ChiroDynamic Health your safety is our No. 1 priority.

That is why on your initial consultation we never compromise. We conduct a thorough history and examination to get the most accurate diagnosis possible and if required we refer for imaging so we can tailor the most appropriate treatment.

All staff attend conferences and continuing education seminars, working in co-operation with other healthcare professionals to ensure that you receive the best most current care available and are appropriately referred if your condition warrants a different approach.

 

What is a Subluxation?

There are two types:

  • Medical Subluxation

    • A medical subluxation by definition is a partially dislocated joint.

  • Chiropractic Subluxation

    • Also known as a Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC) is a historical term used by some Chiropractors to explain the misalignment of a vertebra or any joint restriction and its associated symptoms such as altered spinal/joint motion and preservation, muscle tension, and the associated implication on spinal nerves.
