Chiropractic

Chiropractic is based on the natural law of homeostasis, which simply states that a living organism (you) has innate organisation/intelligence that causes it to always move towards health and wellbeing. Controlling and monitoring the proper function of your body (its organs, tissues, cells and system of the body) is the brain and nervous system. A lack of health will result when the nervous system is impaired or damaged due to subluxation (interference to the nervous system).

Chiropractic helps remove subluxation so the body can function more effectively and, along with healthy lifestyle choices, allows a person to regain and retain optimum health. This is done using a very specific application of pressure, called an adjustment. The reasons people come and see us are many and varied. Click on one of the following links to find out more.

Chiropractic and 'slipped discs'

Brett Hill

disc People often say to me, ‘I have a slipped disc. Can chiropractic help?', or ‘I have a slipped disc, so chiropractic can't help me. I need surgery'.

First thing's first: a disc can't slip. It can wedge, it can bulge, it can protrude or it can herniate, but it can't slip and if it has done one of these things more often than not, chiropractic care can help. In fact research shows that given the risks and limited success rates of surgery, a more conservative form of care, like chiropractic, should always be tried BEFORE going down the surgery route.

So what is a disc?

Chiropractic and sciatica

Brett Hill

What is sciatica? True sciatica is pain down the back of one or both legs along the distribution of the sciatic nerve, from the lower back down the back of your leg and sometimes right down to your foot. It is caused by dysfunction in the joints of the lower spine (subluxation) leading to nerve interference; in other words, you feel the pain in the leg but the problem is usually in the lower back.

Colic and chiropractic

Brett Hill

One of the most common reasons people bring their children in to see a chiropractor is because their child is suffering from infantile colic, or just colic for short.

Colic can be described as unexplainable and uncontrollable crying in babies from 0 to 3 months old, more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for 3 weeks or more, usually in the afternoon and evening hours. The cause of colic is often unknown, however what we do know is that kids often deal with it better when they have a healthy spine and nervous system.
