ChiroCure Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation from sports injuries, accident or chronic pain is not a one step process, but it doesn't have to be as traumatising as you think! At ChiroCure we don’t just treat your injuries we will work with you to make sure you receive a full recovery. Chiropractors during rehabilitation aim to reduce healing time, de-conditioning and increase self-reliance and muscular function (Triano, Mcgregor, Skogsbergh, 1997)
Our remedial massage practitioners, doctors of chiropractic and myotherapists offer patients help and advice to better manage their pain and injury. We offer supplement advice with practitioner prescriptions, nutrition and dietary care, lifestyle advice, work station assessment and more. Treatment with our Chiropractors or Remedial Therapists may also help to reduce the feeling of fatigue, exhaustion, sleeplessness and slow down spinal ageing, improve blood flow, restore nervous system function and reduces all pain symptoms.

Our methodsOne of our methods of ensuring you perform at your best is our individualised take home programs to further accelerate your recovery. However without regular exercise to improve core strength, injuries often do not fully recover or worse, pain may increase or become more regular (Liebenson, 2007).

What can exercise do for you?
• Strong Body – Exercise helps strengthens joints and muscles all over the body.
• Osteoporosis – Regular exercise promotes bone formation and can help prevent bone loss associated with aging.
• Balance – Exercise improves your balance, and good balance will certainly help you avoid future injuries.
• New Injuries – Exercise is essential for overcoming injuries. Injuries prevent you from using the affected or weakened area.
Rehabilitation exercises can help you to strengthen the body, and restore proper balance.
• Old Injuries – While timely rehabilitation is very important, exercise can also help in coming back from old injuries.
This process will not happen as quickly as immediate rehabilitation, but is well worth the time spent.
• Proper Exercise – Before you start an exercise program, be sure to consult with ChiroCure practitioners. Some forms of exercise may slow down your rehabilitation, or even make your problem worse. Talk to Dr Tania Leski about rehabilitation rather than relying on the fitness staff at the local gym.
• Weight and Posture – Exercise helps you maintain a healthy weight. This, in turn, contributes to good posture and the lessening of unnecessary stress on the body.
Other Health Benefits – Regular exercise has been shown to improve many health areas, including: the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure, colon cancer, and depression.
This is only a small list of the benefits of exercise for health and rehabilitation. Consult with one of our chiropractors or remedial massage therapists, for advice about how to start or modify an exercise program that is tailored for your needs and optimal for spinal health.

Our Remedial Massage Therapists & Rehab
|
Our highly qualified remedial massage therapists have over a decade of massage experience. The techniques applied at ChiroCure stem from sport related conditions, deep tissue release, muscle relaxation, Thai Chi and martial arts. Treatments are specialised to compliment all chiropractic care services and rehabilitation of the muscles and joints in the body. Massage pre and post adjustment can assist with the body’s ability to hold chiropractic correction, as well as making it easier to get a correct adjustment, by releasing muscle tension and tenderness.
During treatments our therapists use Remedial Massage Therapy techniques to reduce spasms, tightness and relieve pain symptoms occurring in the body. Treatment will offer care for a wide range of conditions and symptoms. Care can help relieve headaches, sore or stiff neck, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, back pain and lumbar disc injuries. |
