Chiropractic

What is Chiropractic?

All functions of the body are controlled by the nervous system which comprises of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.  Chiropractic focuses on the nervous system and its relationship to your entire body, including your muscles, joints, bones and organs.  Areas of stress can occur at any part of your spine.  This in turn will cause impairment to the nervous system which can result in numbness, weakness or under-performance of organs and tissues.  Chiropractors are specifically trained to locate areas where spinal stress occurs.  Through various techniques including soft tissue massage and specific spinal adjustment, the cause of the problem is treated.  This allows the body to heal and regulate itself naturally.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy was developed in America in the 1870’s by Doctor Andrew Taylor Still.  It is a “whole body” system of manual therapy, based on unique biomechanical principles.  Osteopathy uses a wide range of techniques to treat musculo-skeletal problems and other functional disorders of the body.  For more information about Oseteopathy please see the Australian Osteopathic website.

 

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps to relax, re-align and rejuvenate.  Many people use massage as part of their maintenance routine.  Massage Therapy is particularly effective in the treatment of specific muscle related problems and in the prevention and rehabilitation of injuries.  Massage Therapy can be used in the treatment of a wide range of health conditions from Allergies to Anxiety and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to  post operative care.  Our Massage Therapists work in conjunction with Chiropractic, Osteopathic, Acupuncture and Scenar treatments to achieve the best results for our patients

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a 300 year old traditional Chinese medicine healing system involving the insertion of very fine needles into precise acupuncture points on specific parts of the body.  There are more than 400 Acupuncture points located all over the body, each one having it’s own function.  These points are located on energy pathways called meridians, along which an invisible energy called Qi flows.  Modern medicine holds the view that these acupuncture points correspond with bundles of small nerve fibres and nerve endings that are also distributed all over the body.  When an acupuncture needle is inserted these nerves are stimulated and it is the nerve stimulation that encourages the body to heal

What conditions respond to Acupuncture treatment?

Acupuncture can be used to treat a whole range of health conditions.  Neil and Wendy find that Acupuncture is particularly effective when used in conjunction with Chiropractic manipulation.  It will often speed up the recovery time in rehabilitation from injury.  Many of our patients find that complaints that have not responded to conventional treatments will improve with Acupuncture.  We have used Acupuncture to treat the following;

SCENAR

SCENAR stands for Self Controlled Energo Neuro Adaptive Regulator.  It was invented in 1980 by a group of Russian scientists, doctors, engineers and physicians who were working in the Special Construction Bureau “RITM”  Their goal was to develop a method of treatment that was energy efficient, multi-applicable, portable and universal.  The aim of this non-invasive regulator of body functions was for it to be so adaptable that it could even be suitable to accompany cosmonauts into space. 

SCENAR Therapy is now being used by medical professionals all over the world.  It is a small computer devise that stimulates the body’s self-recovery system.  It works by stimulating the brain with a constantly varying signal that causes it to instruct the nervous system to generate Neuropeptides, the key biochemicals needed by your body to heal itself.  SCENAR therapy is painless and the power of electro-action is adjusted individually for every patient.  For more information about SCENAR to go www.scenar.com.au
