Why Chiropractic?

Why Chiropractic?

This is a good question! Particularly in the Northern Rivers area of NSW where we are blessed by such a strong representation of different healing modalities.

If I had to think of one strength that Chiropractic has over other healing arts it is the quality of its diagnosis.

Using neurological tests and medical imaging technologies allows one to really have a good grasp of how the alterations in a persons structure are affecting their life and well-being.

Chiropractic is not concerned with bones! The goal of Chiropractic treatment is optimising the health and ability of your nervous system to allow clear communication with the body.

The nervous system is a master system in the body and when it runs at its highest level, allows the individual to function better in all aspects of life.

Chiropractors in Australia are some of the most highly trained medical professionals. They undertake 5 years of University study and have the unique ability to combine more Western forms of diagnosis such as x-rays, MRI and CT scans with a more “hands on” subjective tests like joint-motion palpation and muscle-tone.

Chiropractic neurological tests are far more specific than the standard orthopedic tests and reveal more problems in patterns of muscle recruitment and stabilization.

Its not enough to simply be able to tell what muscles are tight or what vertebra in the spine are sore.

A correct treatment plan in any health modality must address why these structures have begun to fail.

And that is why I am proud to practice Chiropractic!
