Geelong West CHIROPRACTORS HELP YOU HARNESS YOUR BODY’S INNER WISDOM

A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments to restore joint mobility and reduce pain, while a physiotherapist utilises physical exercises, massages and manipulation of joints to improve muscle strength and range of motion.

While chiropractic care relieves pain, it does more than that. Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine focused on the diagnosis and management of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. The practice is based on a vitalistic philosophy that views the body as an interconnected unit and recognises the relationship between structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system).

With this in mind, chiropractors focus their care specifically on the vertebral subluxation complex, believed to be linked to many health conditions.

Chiropractic care can address a wide range of conditions. These include back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, arthritis, whiplash, sprains and strains, overuse injuries, and much more. Chiropractic can also address low energy and poor sleep. We also offer paediatric chiropractic to help kids' nervous systems function as they should. Mums-to-be may also benefit from our care, as chiropractic may help relieve pregnancy-related aches and pains naturally.

It's important to understand that chiropractic doesn't cure anything. But by removing interference in your nervous system, your body can function optimally, and you may experience a relief in your symptoms.
