Is posture behind knee pain?

27/10/2017

When you have good posture, you sit, stand and walk properly so that your skeleton is properly aligned, your weight is evenly distributed and your body is in balance.

When you have bad posture, your bones move out of alignment. This may cause a shift with the balance of weight and put unnecessary stress on your joints.

Over time, when misalignments in the spine result in misalignment of the bones, you may suffer from chronic joint pain and show a limited range of motion in your shoulders, spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

At ChiroCure Clinic our therapists can help you!

Don’t let poor posture cause you to experience knee pain, and other related musculoskeletal conditions.

Our chiropractors and massage therapists are able to treat your posture imbalance to help reduce the cause and prevalence of knee pain.

Chiropractic and Insomnia - our chiropractors explains

22/10/2017

Sleep is a foundational requirement for good health, and sleep problems will nearly always contribute to illness and diseases. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting deep, restorative sleep then it’s likely you have a sleep dysfunction and possibly insomnia.

Balancing the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) with Chiropractic

Have the correct posture, bio-mechanical structure, and movement of the spine play a vital role in regulating hormone balance and fixing the problem that no drug or pill can resolve. The spine experiences an intimate connection to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) through microscopic nerves and receptors densely populated in the small muscles, ligaments, and joints in and around the spine.

Our nervous system communicates with the brain on a second-by-second basis for an entire lifetime. An altered autonomic nervous system balance results from abnormal movement or misalignment in a person’s spine and posture. In this case, healing and rest become a major challenge when the body struggles to communicate.

Scientific research conducted in 2015 proved that Chiropractic adjustments help remove interference from the autonomic nervous system, balance stress and sleep hormones, and improve the body’s ability to gain greater rest through bettersleep.

Many patients who received spinal adjustive care experience an improvement in stress hormone balance compared to patients who did not utilise Chiropractic care. In addition, many other health conditions improved due to the powerful impact that radiates from the spine following regular adjustments.

Chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic advises that it’s a combination of eating well, moving the body, reducing emotional stress, and deep breathing that generates a healthy well-being. Our chiropractors would always ensure we create a comprehensive care plan personalised to your condition and allow your spine and nervous system to be free of interference.

Ultrasound therapy at ChiroCure

2/10/2017

Ultrasound therapy is used by our chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic to minimise muscle pain and movement dysfunction; by penetrating the derma below the skin using sound waves to deliver vibration and deep heat to the treated tissues.

Our practitioners often use ultrasound therapy followed by adjusting the spine and area of dysfunction, this can help to stretch the joints and relive the pain.

Passive range of motion exercise may be followed by active range of motion exercise when our chiropractors incorporate ultrasound therapy into your treatment.

It may be more effective to receive a massage or gentle chiropractic manipulation following ultrasound therapy, as the body will be more relaxed and area less inflamed.
