Chiropractic Care for your Family
You are never too young, or too old to receive chiropractic care. Many parents choose to have their newborns checked for any spinal health related problems that may have been caused during birth. Regular check-ups, allow the chiropractors to detect and help correct small issues before they become a problem. Learning how to walk, how to run, how to climb, how to ride a bicycle and other early childhood activities often involve falls. Our chiropractors’ gentle approach can help your child function at their best.
As they grow older and start playing organised sports, injuries can happen. Again, chiropractic can help them recover quickly from falls and other mishaps.
During primary and high school years, children are expected to sit still for long periods of time. Unfortunately, teenagers (and increasingly younger children) quite often use screentime as downtime. All this can lead to ‘upper cross syndrome’, which can cause significant spinal dysfunction. Our chiropractors will help explain the importance of movement and correct sitting.
‘Upper cross syndrome’ is also a widespread issue among the adult population with often long days sitting at a desk, in the car, on the train, on the couch and again staring at a screen. In this age group we already have a significant number of people presenting with pain caused by this. Chiropractic care can help correct this syndrome.

Chiropractic care for the Sportsperson
Chiropractic Sports care provides help to the athlete (the casual weekend athlete as much as the elite athlete) in the recovery and rehabilitation of injured muscles and bones. Regular adjustments can also help with performance. This form of care includes adjustments and mobilisation as well as also soft tissue therapy and advice on how to train.
The Neurological side to Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care helps the nervous system work at its best with spinal adjustments. The spine connects the brain with the rest of the body. If this communication pathway is distorted and doesn’t work well, the information from the brain cannot get through to the organs and tissues.
A slight decrease in the function does not necessarily present itself within one day or even one week but over the period of years. Our chiropractors help detect and recognise those patterns and assist in correcting them.
Chiropractic care looks at patterns of a dysfunction in your structure which can be a result of a miscommunication within the nervous system.
During an examination our chiropractors take time to listen to your history and do a thorough examination. The tests are non-invasive and look at your nervous system’s responses to various stimuli. These tests can include balance tests, how your eyes react to light stimuli, reflexes etc. If the chiropractor finds any dysfunction, they can assist in correcting the imbalance.
Our chiropractors are part of your journey to better health. They help you with adjustments, lifestyle and nutritional advice. They may also give you exercises to do at home to assist in improving function. These exercises may include balancing exercises and activating different muscle groups. They may also include breathing exercises or cognitive activities. These movement patterns and other exercises will help your brain make new connections, restore old connections and your help your body to function better.
Many people assume that if they are not in pain or have any other obvious symptoms, then their nervous system is healthy. This is unfortunately not always the case. Subtle changes and dysfunction may affect balance, muscle tone, coordination, and your flexibility. Once these dysfunctions become apparent they can present as headaches, neck pain, disc injuries, sciatic pain and much more. We are trained to detect little changes and help you correct them before they become big problems.
Our chiropractors are not medical practitioners (aka neurologists); they have however undertaken extensive postgraduate study in neurology. We do not prescribe or recommend any medication or drugs. We have a holistic approach to health care and work together with the medical profession. The chiropractor is able to refer for spinal imaging if needed and also advise if a medical specialist is required.
