Can Chiropractic Help Me?
Why do I have pain?
You may be in pain for many different reasons;

- Overuse - repetitive occupational stress such as sitting for too long in front of a computer, repetitive movements or activities
- Poor posture
- Poor diet or other chemical toxicity
- Stress
Can Chiropractic help me?
Chiropractic care works to restore the function of your body. Symptoms such as headaches, migraines, back and neck pain, weakness, pins & needles, dizziness, just not feeling "well" and feeling stressed or overwhelmed can indicate that your nervous system may not be functioning as well as it should be. Chiropractic care is safe, effective and natural, with a focus on finding the cause of your problems instead of only treating symptoms. We check physical, chemical and emotional factors that may be contributing to the symptoms you are experiencing. Remember, pain is often the last indication something is wrong, with prevention being better than a cure.
Can Chiropractic help my Child?
The average child will fall 2500 times before the age of five, a few of them will be major falls such as off change tables, out of cots or downstairs. 50% will have a major fall in their first year! As a child grows they will also be subject to falls from bikes, play equipment, trampolines, poor posture with computer games and TV and heavy school bags.
Much of this is unavoidable and often disregarded but it is the cumulative nature that can result in ongoing problems and postural deviations that can remain through life. Just like any piece of machinery maintenance checks help to keep the long term impact to a minimum assisting the nervous system and your child’s body to perform at optimal levels. But my kid has no symptoms? Just like tooth cavity may have no symptoms, the effect of nerve irritation and postural imbalances can follow the same principle. Chiropractic care also includes advice on exercise, nutrition and lifestyle. Techniques will be tailored to suit their age, developing anatomy and comfort with safety as our priority.
