Functional Muscle Assessments are now available at ChiroCure Clinic

1/10/2018

FMS appointments
What is Functional movement screening?
A functional movement screening (FMS) is an appointment that involves using a  pre-participation screening tool, that is designed to identify compensatory movement patterns, that are indicative of increased injury risk and inefficient movement that causes reduced performance.

What are the functional movement screen tests?
The FMS helps identify muscle asymmetries, tightness, weakness and other risk factors for injury by examining the mobility and stability of the hips, core, shoulders, knees, spine and ankles.

The FMS consists of 7 movements
  • Deep Squat
  • Hurdle Step
  • Inline Lunge
  • Shoulder mobility
  • Rotary stability
  • Trunk stability Push ups
  • Straight leg raise

The scoring
  • Each movement is scored from 0-3 - This provides clear information on the client’s functional limitations and thus risk of injury.
  • Score will form the direction and pathway for corrective exercise programming or functional re-training.

Focus
Its role is to pinpoint areas of movement pattern limitation and asymmetry.

4X4 Matrix Posture assessment areas:
  • Supine/prone
  • Quadruped
  • Kneeling
  • Standing
Our practitioners will use a 4 by 4 matrix to try and fix the problems that have been shown in the FMS test.

Joint by Joint theory.
Our practitioners are trained to use Joint by joint theory to try and fix the pain and dysfunction. They can also perform a gait analysis to assess and improve your weight bearing and posture whilst walking and moving.

Taping
Our remedial therapists will apply kinesiology tape to areas that are prone to injuries and to offer also posture corrective support for the core muscles and surrounding ligaments and joints. Our therapists are also trained to use ridged tape for specific muscle groups to encourage stability and support.

Did you know that you can have a rib Misalignment??

29/5/2018

 

Rib misalignment is no laughing matter...

A rib misalignment occurs when your rib moves slightly (backwards and inwards) from the thoracic vertebra towards the spine, the muscles in your back will then contract and tighten to protect the misalignment.

rib misalignment chirocure
Symptoms include:
  • Difficulty or pain when breathing, sneezing, and coughing
  • Often causes a shooting pain that around the side or front of the chest
  • May also result in neck pain and pain or numbness along the arm
Rib Misalignment is usually caused by:

- Compression or trauma to the rib cage
- excessive squeezing or coughing

- Injuries where you are hit from the side
- Twisting injuries – lifting and twisting
How can chiropractic help:

- Relief from rib misalignment is difficult to self remedy.
- You can try an ice pack on the affected area, 10 minutes on, then 10 minutes off.

- Professional assistance is recommended if the symptoms haven’t improved after three days.

Total Body Modification (TBM) at ChiroCure Clinic

TBM chiropractic treatment techniques at ChiroCure Clinic (03)90135133
Total Body Modification (TBM) offers an allergy solution which relieves the individual and provides up to 95% improvement in symptoms. TBM is a specialised chiropractic treatment technique which allows imbalances to be detected and corrected through muscle testing and tapping specific body points. TBM works in a similar manner to how acupuncture points relieve tension, and aims to harnesses energy channels which are linked to internal organs and system functioning.

Dr Tania Leski will often implement TBM treatment techniques into her chiropractic consultations, which may be a component of TBM specific assessment and/or correction, which in effect 'switches on the body' to respond to the more advanced treatments, such as organ adjusting and parasympathetic (fight/fight) correction in future sessions. By using this technique, Dr Leski works to improve an individual's allergy condition or overactive nervous system to produce a bodily response.

Our chiropractors are skilled in performing a series of muscle tests during her treatment appointment to discover and correct the internal imbalances and blockages that may be impairing your health. These corrections include the restoration of organ function, re-balance blood flow, restore pressure, and improve water utilization for longer lasting correction and better overall health.

Did you know about our pregnancy services?

12/2/2018

 
Throughout pregnancy an expectant mother experiences many hormonal and structural changes in order to prepare the mother’s body for the developing baby, as well as for the birth process.

Our chiropractors and remedial massage therapists may be able to help you to better manage pain and stress through all stages of your pregnancy and after birth.

​
​For more information regarding appointments and therapeutic services available, please go to our pregnancy page. 


Visit our Pregnancy page
Our massage therapist Grace Foong has done 6 years of pregnancy training and further learning courses. She has also completed an obstetrics massage course at university.
​​
Dr Leski has a passion for working with pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic therapies, having worked with patients in the field for the past 7 years. She has completed four paediatric courses and pregnancy related seminars.
Changes to the body during pregnancy may include:
> Weight gain, as the breasts and uterus grow.
> Protruding abdomen - the abdominal muscles and tissues start to stretch as the baby continues to grow.
> Pelvic ligament loosening - due to the increased amounts of hormones necessary for birthing. 
> Pelvic strain - this can occur as the body prepares to give birth.
> Joint instability - movement may become more difficult or painful, especially during the third trimester. 
> Changes to the pelvis and sacrum position - muscles may strain to support the weight of the foetus.
> Postural changes; including an increased lumbar curve, low back sway, hip rotation, pelvis un-levelling.
> Ankle or knee strain - inflammation or pain is common as weight distribution changes occur.​

Chiropractic treatment for musculoskeletal injury in infants/children after a fall or injury

1/12/2017

 
Health is important particularly at a young age.
Discover what paediatric chiropractic care at ChiroCure Clinic can offer your children...

ICPA (International Chiropractic Paediatric Association), has recently published a study in the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children.
Out of 5,438 office visits only 3 minor aggravations were reported, such as minor discomfort, following the adjustment.

In the study over 90% of the chiropractors and parents reported improvement in the child’s presenting complaint. Both also reported improvement in the child’s behaviour, sleeping pattern and immune function.​

Do you want your child developing the same spinal problems that you have as an adult?

If there is a history of spinal problems in your family, your child’s spine may not develop properly.
Early detection is essential in preventing certain spinal problems developing.

Previously, spinal degeneration was viewed as a result of ageing and ‘wear and tear’.
However, research has recently revealed that there is also a substantial influence of heredity on spinal degeneration.
