Common Reasons to see a Chiropractor
Be Kind. Be Well.
GENERAL CONCERNS
Lower Back Pain
Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve lower back pain by correcting misalignments in the spine and reducing nerve irritation, helping you move freely and comfortably.
Neck Pain
Misalignments in the cervical spine can lead to stiffness and discomfort. Chiropractic care helps improve neck mobility and relieve tension in the muscles and joints.
Headaches and Migraines
Tension or misalignment in the spine can cause recurring headaches or migraines. Chiropractors target these areas to reduce nerve pressure, improving blood flow and helping alleviate pain.
Sciatica
Sciatica is often caused by compression in the lower spine. Chiropractic adjustments relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve, helping reduce pain, numbness, and discomfort in the legs.
Poor Posture
Bad posture can lead to chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain. Chiropractors work to correct spinal alignment, improving your posture and preventing further discomfort.
Sports Injuries
Chiropractors help athletes recover from injuries by addressing misalignments and restoring range of motion, while also promoting faster healing.
Joint Pain
Chiropractic care can help reduce inflammation and improve mobility in painful joints through targeted adjustments, helping you get back to your daily activities.
Pregnancy-Related Discomfort (Webster Certified)
Pregnancy can cause stress on the spine and pelvis. Chiropractic care helps align the body, relieving discomfort and promoting a healthier pregnancy experience. As a Webster Certified chiropractor, we specialise in adjusting women during pregnancy to support optimal pelvic alignment. This gentle, safe technique can also benefit infants post-birth, especially in cases of breech presentation or birth complications, helping to support a healthy start.
Whiplash or Auto Injuries
Injuries from car accidents can cause misalignment in the spine and neck. Chiropractic care helps restore proper alignment, reducing pain and promoting recovery.
Pinched Nerves
A misaligned spine can compress nerves, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractors use gentle adjustments to relieve the pressure and restore normal nerve function.
Disc Issues (Herniated/Bulging Discs)
Chiropractic adjustments help relieve pressure on discs and nerves, promoting healing and reducing the pain caused by bulging or herniated discs.
Frozen Shoulder
Through targeted adjustments and mobility exercises, chiropractic care can help improve range of motion and reduce stiffness in the shoulder.
Chronic Fatigue or Stress
Misalignments in the spine can interfere with the nervous system, contributing to stress and fatigue. Chiropractic care helps bring the body back into balance, improving overall wellbeing.
INFANTS & CHILDREN
Pre-Post Tongue Tie Release and Feeding Issues
Infants undergoing tongue-tie release or experiencing feeding difficulties may benefit from chiropractic care. Gentle adjustments help alleviate tension in the neck and jaw, supporting better feeding mechanics and overall comfort.
Torticollis and Plagiocephaly (Flat Spots/Misshapen Head)
Chiropractic care can assist with correcting torticollis (tight neck muscles) and addressing flat spots on an infant’s head (plagiocephaly) by encouraging proper neck mobility and spinal alignment, promoting natural, balanced development.
Colic and Digestive Issues
Infants suffering from colic or digestive discomfort can benefit from gentle chiropractic adjustments. By alleviating nerve pressure, chiropractic care can help improve digestion and reduce symptoms of colic and reflux.
Skipped/Delayed Milestones and Posture Support
Children who are experiencing delayed milestones such as sitting, crawling, or walking may find support through chiropractic care. Regular adjustments ensure that the spine and nervous system are functioning optimally, promoting healthy posture and development.
Behavioural Issues and ADHD/ASD Support
Chiropractic care may support children experiencing behavioural concerns or diagnoses such as ADHD or ASD by enhancing the communication between the brain and body, promoting a more balanced and regulated nervous system.
Nervous System Support for Teens/Adults
As teens grow into adulthood, they may need additional support for stress, jaw pain, and general nervous system health. Chiropractic adjustments help to relieve tension, enhance focus, and promote overall wellbeing.
MANUAL WORKERS
Physical Strain from Labour-Intensive Work
People in physically demanding professions often face ongoing strain from lifting, bending, and repetitive movements. Chiropractic care helps to realign the spine, reduce muscle tension, and prevent injuries caused by the physical demands of labour-intensive work.
Overuse Injuries (Shoulders, Elbows, Wrists)
Workers in trades and physically demanding roles frequently experience overuse injuries in the upper body. Chiropractic adjustments target these areas, helping to relieve pain and restore full mobility in joints strained by repetitive tasks.
Stress and Tension
Those in labour-intensive professions often experience high levels of stress, which can lead to tension in the neck, shoulders, and back. Chiropractic care can release physical tension and improve overall wellbeing by reducing stress in the nervous system.
