What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic treatment will vary depending on your presentation and symptoms. ​Our health philosophy is hands-on, natural alternative therapy for symptom relief (such as neck pain, low back pain, loss of mobility and some headaches), with a focus on prevention and rehabilitation. 

​At ChiroCure Clinic our chiropractors aim to find the cause of the problem as well as treating the symptoms. ​
Our services correct joint dysfunction of the spine and extremities to correctly align the body's musculoskeletal structure, so that the nervous system is functioning at its best which allows your body to do the same. 

​Chiropractic treatment can be applied with various techniques to the following areas of the body: muscles, joints, bones, cartilage  and ligaments and tendons; particularly around the spine. Our Chiropractors can combine their treatment with other natural therapies, supplements or adjuncts; some of which include: remedial massage therapy, Osteopathy, Myotherapy, posture and ergonomic advice, therapeutic pillows for sleep, back supports and bracing, home exercise programs and natural anti-inflammatory creams which can contribute to faster and more effective rehabilitation.

Meet the 'Activator' Adjusting Tool

A Chiropractic activator adjusting instrument, with a spring-loaded hand-held mechanical instrument that provides a quick, low-force impulse at specific points (SpineHealth, 2016). 
​The adjusting device used by our chiropractic professionals applies a pain-free, low force treatment, to release muscle spasms and correct misalignment that occur in the spine and body. By providing a high velocity, low amplitude thrust it gives a consistently effective result.

What does posture have to do with it?

A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate and impair the function of the nervous system. This can disrupt the transmission of nerve impulses that control your body. ​Posture is a major consideration when assessing and treating the spine. ​​At ChiroCure Clinic our chiropractors aim to correct this process, thereby improving pain, movement & posture ​throughout your entire body.
