Activator Adjusting
Impulse AdjustingImpulse Adjusting is a new technique purposely created to deliver gentle, controlled and precise chiropractic adjustments to the joints of the spine and extremities to relieve pain and restore function. 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. Drop PieceThis specialised chiropractic technique uses a special table with sections that move up and down under your body to lightly unlock specific segments of your spine. Drop table adjustments allow our chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic to minimise the force used for the adjustment and avoids any twisting positions. Flexion distractionFlexion distraction therapy is a lighter technique utilising a specialised table that provides flexion and traction to specific areas of the spine to aid in the recreation of lost movement and the decompression and realignment of the spine. This chiropractic technique is primarily used to manage:

People are panicking, buying all the toilet paper they can and ducking for cover when they hear a cough. I thought, it’s not worth panicking, just be smart, practice excellent hygiene habits, especially at work where I see so many different people, people who have different health problems that could put them or their families more at risk of serious complications with this virus. Then I found out I was potentially exposed to it by someone else. And then I started to get sick, so i followed the guidelines, called the hotline, talked to the GP, got tested and am now self-isolating until I get my results. ![]() While it was a welcome few days off at first, I am already bored and struggling. It is hard to go from speaking to, being around and connected to people every day, to suddenly being by myself. I can’t grab a cup of coffee (HORROR), I can’t go to work (stressful), and I can’t go to the gym (that one might be a relief for now!). Once I started feeling better, I started trying to do things that were somewhat productive. My room has literally never been this clean, I’ve finished a book I’ve long been meaning to read and have binged a LOT of Netflix. However, it can be stressful, boring and lonely. I am very thankful for my friends and family, who have been very supportive – offering to bring me food, or just calling for a chat or messaging to check on how I’m doing. That is the best thing you can do for someone if they are in isolation – let them know they aren’t alone, that you’re there for them if they need someone. If you are the one in isolation, and are feeling this way, reach out to someone. Keep yourself busy, eat healthy fresh food to support your body, keep moving, and if you need to, switch off from all the corona virus news. ![]() We at ChiroCure have been brainstorming ideas on ways we can provide the best support for you, our patients. We know getting adjusted helps the function of your nervous system, which regulates everything including your immune system and we have practitioners available for appointments at the clinic. We are taking every precaution we possibly can – cleaning and sanitizing between every patient, encouraging best hygiene practices, education on Corona Virus and following very closely what the government and health groups are saying. However, for those of you who are unwell or are in isolation, or if you can’t get to our clinic, we are offering online Skype sessions to at least help you get through the next few weeks. These will include rehab exercises, stretches, ergonomic advice for working at home and home care advice, especially those of you in acute or severe pain. We are happy to listen to your concerns, can answer any questions you may have and make sure you are doing the best exercises for you and properly. We even have personal trainer Louise McDonald on board, who is providing consults and PT programs over Skype as well. If you need to book an appointment, or want to talk to one of us to find out more, please call us on 9013 5133, book online at chirocure.net or jump onto our social media pages. Lower Cross Syndrome / Incorrect Lumbar CurvatureLower cross syndrome
Lower Crossed Syndrome is a muscular imbalance syndrome, which results in postural changes, postural dysfunction and visible unleveling; particularly in the lower spine, that our Chiropractors are trained to identify. We will complete an assessment, posture scan and posture report during your first visit. Muscular imbalance can lead to an unstable back, which increases the risk of injury and dysfunction in the joints in the lower back and pelvis as well as the hip joints. It may also impair your sporting performance as a result of reduced core stability and stride length. Causes This condition is often caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting or standing, and a lack of core stability for the spine. Lower Cross Syndrome is characterised by weak or inhibited abdominal and buttock muscles with tight, overactive low back extensors and hip flexors. Often the gluteal and hamstring muscles becoming inactive or weak due to remaining in a sustained incorrect lengthened position. And one or both hip can become tight or stiff, caused to the muscles spasms from prolonged shortening of the muscles that cross the hip joint. Symptoms
X-ray findings and outcome We can refer you for imaging and provide you with a management program and treatment plan. Treatment ChiroCure Clinic offers treatment that can help you to manage lower cross syndrome including Chiropractic, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy treatment. Our practitioners offer specific adjustments and a treatment to regain normal function in the joints in the lower back and pelvis. They will also address the muscular imbalance by relaxing the over-tightened muscles and ensuring you have a programme of self-help exercises to specifically target the weak muscles causing the imbalance. You will also be given advice of your posture and how to correct it whether it be at home, work, whilst driving or sleeping. It is not normally enough to just keep stretching and massaging the tight muscles. This will only give short-term relief. Chiropractic treatment is aimed at dealing with the underlying cause of the tight muscles, which is the joint problem. Welcoming our new ChiroCure Chiropractor - Dr Jen Lew

What can exercise do for you? • Strong Body – Exercise helps strengthens joints and muscles all over body. • Osteoporosis prevention – Regular exercise promotes bone formation and can help prevent bone loss associated with aging. Treatment with our chiropractors and remedial massage therapists, along with exercise can help prevent pain and stiffness in the body. • Balance – Exercise improves your balance, and good balance will certainly help you avoid future injuries. • Injury – Exercise is essential for overcoming injuries. Injuries prevent you from using the affected or weakened. Rehabilitation exercises alongside chiropractic adjustments at ChiroCure can help to strengthen the body, and restore proper balance. • Rehab – 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. • Helps with Exercise – Before you start an exercise program, be sure to consult with ChiroCure practitioners for an individual exercise and stretching program. It is important to understand that some forms of exercise may slow down rehabilitation, or even make your problem worse. Make sure you speak to your ChiroCure doctor about rehabilitation (don’t rely 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. | This is only a SMALL list of the benefits of exercise for health and rehabilitation. Consult with our chiropractor - Dr Tania Leski or one of our remedial massage therapists at the clinic for correct advice when starting or modifying an exercise program tailored for your needs! |
