What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic is an art and science dedicated to the optimum performance of the Nervous System.

Our bodies are born with an innate intelligence allowing it to be self-regulating and self-healing machine. When the nervous system is affected, our body’s ability to cope with these problems becomes greatly depleted leaving us susceptible to injury and dis-ease. When stress is placed on the body from everyday activities, sports, posture, etc., there is a level of dysfunction that develops creating aberrant nervous activity. This aberrant activity creates what is commonly known by chiropractors as the Vertebral subluxation Complex (VSC). The VSC is responsible for all the changes associated with alterations of the spine and nervous system including muscle and joint pathology causing adhesions, as well as pain and debility as local structures are inflamed and damaged. It can also affect your general well-being as systems of the body as many of these supply systems of the body.

Though commonly presented to Chiropractors in the form of a painful region, often the VSC is a painless alteration that if left unattended can reduce the health of your body increasing the risk of pain and debility.

Chiropractors are specialists in the Musculoskeletal and Nervous systems of the body working with primarily the spinal column and associated structures to reduce stress placed upon nerves that exit these structures. Chiropractors are specifically trained to identify, treat and manage these complexes improving the overall health of your body. By taking a full history, undertaking a full examination of your nerves, muscle, joints and posture, chiropractors are able to identify areas of concern that may be causing pain or dysfunction. Using specific chiropractic adjustments, Chiropractors relieve these stressors and adhesions, returning your body to optimal health.

 

Treatment

What conditions do we treat?

 

Types of Massage we provide:

Hot Stone Therapy    (Nicola)

Hot stone therapy is a type of massage that uses smooth rocks to warm the body and as a tool to massage the body. It uses water-heated basalt stones of various sizes to specific, key points on the body giving a deep massage and creating a sensation of warmth and comfort. 

Relaxation Massage    (Nicola / Dennis / Emma)

Relaxation massage is used to promote general relaxation, improve circulation and increase range of motion.  The massage itself is a system of long gliding strokes, kneading and friction techniques used to manipulate the muscles, connective tissue and soft tissues of the body. 

Remedial / Deep Tissue Massage    (Nicola / Dennis / Emma)

Remedial massage is a therapeutic deep tissue massage that can treat specific health issues, musculoskeletal problems and injuries. It involves the use of massage therapy and a wide range of diagnostic techniques to treat a variety of ailments. Remedial massage is a system of manipulation of the soft tissues of the body with the hands. It works to break down scar or fibrous tissue, restoring elasticity to the joints, create greater mobility within the joints of the body.

Sports Massage    (Nicola / Dennis / Emma)

Sports massage is used to ensure the health and well-being of the athlete and to enhance performance.  Sports massage will benefit anyone who is engaged in physical fitness activities.  Many people train just as hard as athletes even if they do not enter competitions.  Massage has many benefits for the occasional athlete too such as improving recovery from minor injuries, caring for wear and tear that is sustained when doing any strenuous physical activity.
