Modern X-ray facilities such as ours pose very little risk to adults and are considered to be a safe dose of radiation. X-ray imaging is only deemed harmful for a developing foetus. For this reason you should inform us if you have any reason to believe you may be pregnant. In which case, alternate testing methods which do not involve radiation will be sought. 7 common symptoms of fibromyalgia, and how we can help!!

The Impulse Adjusting Instrument is specifically tuned to the natural frequency of the body, thus allowing the creation of more bone movement with less force. Effective for low force chiropractic adjustments with great results. There is no popping or cracking with these adjustments, but rather very precise and targeted adjustments designed to specifically care for just the right areas.

Risk FactorsThough those with a sedentary lifestyle are most at risk for the condition, it is not uncommon to find Upper Crossed Syndrome in athletes, particularly swimmers and weight lifters. | SymptomsHeadaches, neck pain and pain in the jaw may point to a case of UCS. The effects of this condition can harm performance, reducing range of movement and inhibiting the ability to breathe fully due to the reduction of space in the abdomen. |
2. Triple Extension Isometrics (with resistant band) Start by standing upright in the extended position. Keeping your arms long, neck relaxed and shoulder blades down towards your back pocket. Increase the tension from the band by stepping backwards until you find a challenging yet manageable level. Keep your chin tucked in to avoid the jaw from jutting forward. Hold for 60 seconds and perform 3-5 x per day. Keep breathing throughout. |
4. Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch Place one foot in front of you and one foot behind you, make sure that your hips are square and that your back foot is in line with your front foot. When in a stable position, attempt to tuck your pelvis under (posteriorly tilt your pelvis) and contract your glut muscles simultaneously (on the same side as the back knee). If this isn’t enough, keep your pelvis tucked under and slowly move your hip away from back foot. Hold the position for 30-40 seconds 3 x per day. Remain relaxed. The stretch may be uncomfortable but by no means painful. |
Upper cross syndromeIn the UCS, your upper back muscles become increasingly tense due to the constant strain of having your shoulders forward and positioned anteriorly, while your chest & shoulder region becomes shortened or tightened due to this constantly held posture. | Lower cross syndromeIn the LCS, your glutes have become underactive or weakened due to remaining in a sustained lengthened position. This is also often accompanied with a tight or stiff hip due to the prolonged shortening of the muscles crossing the hip joint. |
A common cause of sinus pressure and pain is the common cold or allergies, causing what is known as sinusitis. Headaches are often present when a patient is experiencing sinusitis or when having a cold. Remedial massage therapy treatment at ChiroCure Clinic in St Kilda East, aims to relieve stress on the nervous system and body structure. in order to help the body work more efficiently and help ensure that the skull bones move freely. This will allow the body fluids to drain without interference, and in turn reduce the pressure in the face and head that may cause a headache or migraine. |
Our treatment techniquetreatment will generally include soft massage of the nose, forehead and cheeks, during your adjustment, to release the pressure on the sinus cavities and allow for free drainage of fluids. | Which type of headache do you have... and what may be the cause?Our therapists can asses and diagnose the cause of your headache in order to provide superior treatment and long term care. Ask one of our practitioners next time you visit the clinic to assess you. |
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. |
Myofacial Dry Needling TechniqueMyofascial Dry-Needling is the application of fine filiform needles (which are also used by but not exclusive to acupuncture) into specific points in the muscles known as trigger points, to produce a healing and analgesic (pain-modifying) outcome. | Effectiveness of myotherapy treatments?In 2015 the Australian Government's Department of Health published the results of a review of alternative therapies that sought to determine if any were suitable for being covered by health insurance. Myotherapy treatments are covered by a lll health funds, and appointments are claimable via Hicaps at ChiroCure Clinic. |

Hay fever is the common name for a condition called allergic rhinitis, which means an allergy that affects the nose. Most people associate hay fever with spring, when airborne pollens from grasses are at their peak. However, hay fever can occur at any time of the year.
Your nose acts as a filter. The tiny hairs and mucus that line the nasal passages trap dust, pollens and other microscopic particles. A person with hay fever is allergic to some of the particles that get trapped in the nose, such as pollen. An allergic reaction means the immune system treats a harmless substance as if it is dangerous, and launches an ‘attack’. The nasal passages become inflamed and more mucus is produced. |
Book a FREE Spinal Check with our Chiropractors Today!Supplements and Other Options to Treat Hay Fever
If it's not possible to avoid your allergy triggers, supplements and other over the counter natural options can be helpful. Available options include nasal sprays, tablets and eye drops. Read labels carefully and take all supplements as directed.
Sinus Tablets include ingredients such as Silica and Purple Pasque Flower that are traditionally used in homeopathic medicine to help relieve the symptoms of sinusitis and sinus pain.
Magnesium
Magnesium is an important mineral for improving immune function, and repairing the sinus passage that has been damaged. The mineral is excellent for reducing the nasal congestion by removing the excess mucus from the sinus passages and accelerate the healing process.
Magnesium aids in fighting bacterial, viral and fungal infection and also lowers the chances of chronic sinusitis. Food sources for magnesium include pumpkin seed, black beans, sesame seed, squash seed, watermelon seeds, peanuts, wheat germ, oyster, broccoli, whole grain cereal, tofu and soy milk etc. |
10 Steps to Prevent Hay Fever

A report and clinical research has been performed over many years to assess and determine the science behind chiropractic treatment and chiropractic manual therapy. Recently, a research study performed in the United Kingdom looked into the scientific evidence behind both the effectiveness and results of chiropractic manual adjustments and chiropractic treatment as a therapeutic option for managing pain and stiffness by assessing over "26 musculoskeletal and non musculoskeletal conditions" (2) "The authors based their conclusions on the results of systematic reviews of randomised controlled trials, widely accepted evidence-based guidelines, and randomised controlled trials not yet included in the former." (3) It was concluded that "The most common conditions treated by chiropractors are back pain, neck pain, and headaches.9 The best available evidence supports manipulative therapy as a reasonable option for many of these complaints. Manipulative therapy also holds potential value for the treatment of a variety of extremity conditions." (3) |
