The chiropractic profession was born over 100 years ago through the use of a hands-on approach to manipulation of the human spine and extremities to restore movement in restricted areas. Hence the professional title of chiropractor, as the word chiro-practic means to ‘be done by hand’.

As the profession has developed there have been many progressive changes in the direction of chiropractic education and care. Chiropractic care is recognised as a safe and effective form of manipulative therapy for musculoskeletal conditions. When supplemented with Active Release Technique, Graston-Hall Method and exercise rehabilitation we have a very effective means to restore optimal integrity to movement of the body and a very efficient means of removing pain from the musculoskeletal system.

 

Our approach to chiropractic care is to provide an evidence based approach to caring for all our patients. In other words, we use treatments which have been established as being effective. Importantly we do not rely on one single form of chiropractic therapy to treat any individual. Each patient is treated based upon their needs and requirements.

This method of chiropractic care is supported by an ever increasing amount of scientific evidence which suggests there is a clear indication of the need to combine a multiple therapy based approach to musculoskeletal care. Therefore all our chiropractic treatment methods integrate both soft tissue and osseous(bone) manipulation techniques wherever indicated. All of our patients are also given the option of nutritional advice and exercise rehabilitation, and pro-active based care.
It is our goal to provide this type of chiropractic service in one package so as to maximise the effectiveness of our treatment and to enhance your treatment outcome. As a result we have spent many hours, and continue to spend many hours, undertaking post graduate training in advanced neurology, orthopaedics, sports chiropractic, Active Release Technique, postural retraining and strength & conditioning. We attend numerous conferences, courses and lectures here in Australia and also extensively throughout North America. The aim- to provide the best chiropractic care we can.
