Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a drug and surgery free modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (spine); this includes the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health.

An underlying principle of chiropractic is “healthy spine, healthier life”. By offering drug-free spinal healthcare and lifestyle advice, chiropractors help Australians lead and maintain healthy lives.

As chiropractors we focus on the detection and correction of abnormal spinal function and its subsequent effect on how the nervous system controls and coordinates the body.

When treating infants and young children chiropractic care typically involves the use of low-force, low-amplitude techniques in sharp contrast to those used on adults. Chiropractors are educated to modify spinal manual therapy to suit the age and presenting condition of a patient.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practised for thousands of years. Originating in China it has been influenced by many Asian countries including Korea and Japan.  TCM is a holistic approach which considers, according to acupuncture philosophy, the root cause of disease and disorder so as to alleviate patient symptoms.  Many scientific trials are being conducted into the efficacy of TCM in conditions where conventional medicine has little to offer.
