Chiropractic adjustment is a specialised treatment in which chiropractors apply controlled, sudden force to specific areas of the spine, a technique known as spinal manipulation. They also examine and treat health conditions related to bones, muscles, and joints (musculoskeletal problems).
Your spine is the most important bone in your body. It keeps you upright, provides structure to your body, and enables you to move and flex around. You need to ensure it is looked after appropriately.
When should you see a Chiropractor?
If you have a spinal injury or low physical body function and movement.
Chiropractic care can help reduce the wear and tear of bones due to osteoarthritis.
To realign your spine to reduce pain and improve mobility.
To prevent future spine and back problems due to aging.
Initially you might find after a Chiropractic adjustment some soreness or tiredness. Some people even get mild headaches. However these side effects are only temporary, as the pros of visiting a Chiropractor vastly outweigh the temporary discomfort.

Our chiropractors have extensive knowledge of the spine, muscles, joints, and other bones in the human body. Arthritis is very common among seniors, and visiting one of our chiropractors can help alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and release tension in your joints. They will work alongside our other allied health professionals to ensure that you receive the best possible treatment.
Allied health is distinct from the medical, dental, and nursing fields. Allied health Professionals (AHPs) are not part of those professions, but they work alongside them to treat and care for patients or clients. The main distinction lies in the fact that the services focus on preventing and aiding in the recovery of clients, whereas the medical industry concentrates on diagnosing and curing illnesses and injuries.
What is the role of an Allied Health Assistant or Professional?
The main goal is to provide clients with care and support in completing specific treatment plans that they feel would benefit them, based on their physical or mental issues related to injury, illness, or disabilities. On the other hand, AHPs diagnose the client's issues and then assist with treatment and rehabilitation.
AHPs in Australia
In Australia, there are around 200,000 registered AHPs. When compared to the number of Australians needing their help, there aren't enough people in that workforce. Please consider thanking your AHP for their time and effort, as they are few and far between and are incredibly sought after.

What's the difference between Remedial Massage & Deep Tissue?
If you want to get the most benefit out of your massage treatment, Remedial massage and Deep tissue massage are the best options. But what's the difference between the two, and why would we offer one over the other?
Deep Tissue Massage
This type of massage applies more pressure to penetrate deeper into the muscles. It may cause some discomfort, but it is often regarded as a "good pain" by individuals who appreciate this kind of massage. It is a full-body massage that applies pressure across the body to reduce tension and aid in the recovery from exercise and injuries.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage differs from Deep Tissue massage because it focuses on treating specific parts of the body for pain and injury. It requires a deep understanding of the body's muscular structure and involves reviewing the client's muscles, ligaments, tendons, and posture. The massage therapist uses firm pressure to target pain points and areas that need rehabilitation over several sessions. This approach helps the client recover and stay focused on their treatment goals.
