Chiropractic and Spinal Stenosis πŸ’†β€β™‚οΈπŸŒΏ

βœ… Reduce muscular tension
βœ… Support posture and flexibility

At True Health, our chiropractors use low-force techniques such as the Activator Method, soft tissue therapy, and gentle mobilisation to support comfort and function.

🌸 While chiropractic can’t reverse spinal narrowing, it can make a real difference in managing symptoms and maintaining mobility.

Gentle adjustments, Big relief . . .

Swipe to explore your options!

Many people associate chiropractic care with spinal adjustments that produce a β€˜cracking’ sound.

However, not everyone is comfortable with this type of manual manipulation, and in some cases, it may not be the most appropriate technique.

The good news is that chiropractic care can be highly effective without the need for forceful joint manipulations.

At True Health, we are proficient in non-manual techniques that provide gentle, precise adjustments tailored to each patient’s needs.

Whether due to personal preference, pain sensitivity, or medical reasons, or age we offer low-force options that still aim to support musculoskeletal health and improve mobility.

The Activator Method is a widely used instrument-assisted technique that delivers controlled, low-force impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints. This method is suitable for:

βœ… Ideal for those who prefer a softer touch

βœ… Great for kids and elderly patients

βœ… Patients with health conditions requiring low-force

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) involves the use of padded blocks placed under the pelvis to help the spine and nervous system return to balance naturally. This technique is beneficial for:

βœ… Patients with postural imbalances.

βœ… Individuals experiencing pelvic misalignment or spinal tension.

βœ… Those seeking a gentle and non-invasive approach.

The Thompson Technique uses a specialised drop table, where specific sections of the table lower slightly as the chiropractor applies pressure. This technique is useful for:

βœ… Patients who require a lighter, controlled adjustment.

βœ… Individuals with pelvic or spinal alignment concerns.

βœ… Those who prefer a method with reduced force impact.

The Diversified Technique is the most commonly used method. It involves precise hands-on spinal manipulations to improve mobility and function. This approach is often suitable for:

βœ… Patients with restricted joint movement.

βœ… Individuals with chronic back or neck discomfort.

βœ… Those who are comfortable with traditional spinal adjustments.

Chiropractic care does not have to involve high-force spinal manipulations to be beneficial.

At True Health, we tailor our techniques to suit each patient’s comfort level, health condition, and treatment goals.

Whether you prefer a gentle approach or a traditional manual adjustment, we will create a personalised plan that aligns with your needs.

Feeling stiff with age?

Swipe to see how massage might help you!

As we age, our bodies undergo natural changes that affect mobility, flexibility, circulation, and overall wellbeing.

Many older adults experience muscle stiffness, joint pain, and reduced range of motion, leading to decreased physical activity and increased discomfort.

Massage therapy has proven to be an effective, non-invasive method for enhancing the quality of life in older adults.

How does Massage Help?

Improving Circulation – As we age, circulation slows down, leading to cold extremities, swelling, and joint stiffness. Massage therapy stimulates blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues while reducing swelling and discomfort.

Enhancing Mobility and Flexibility – Regular massage helps loosen tight muscles, improve joint range of motion, and prevent age-related stiffness.

Reducing Pain and Inflammation – Massage can alleviate pain associated with arthritis, neuropathy, and other chronic conditions by reducing inflammation and relaxing tense muscles.

Boosting Mental Wellbeing – Seniors are at a higher risk of depression and anxiety, often due to social isolation or chronic pain. Massage therapy reduces stress hormones and increases serotonin and dopamine levels, promoting a sense of relaxation and mental clarity.

A study published in the Journal of Aging Research found that seniors who received weekly massage therapy experienced improved circulation, reduced muscle stiffness, and better overall mobility.

Another study in the Journal of Clinical Gerontology & Geriatrics reported that massage significantly reduced pain levels in elderly individuals with osteoarthritis.

The best massage techniques for older Adults;

πŸ‘ Swedish Massage – Gentle, rhythmic strokes
🌿 Aromatherapy Massage – Lavender & chamomile oils
🦢 Reflexology – Pressure points in the feet
🧠 Craniosacral Therapy – Light touch to head & spine

For older adults, massage should be seen as a regular part of a healthy lifestyle rather than just an occasional luxury.

Whether performed by a professional therapist or using simple self-massage techniques, regular massage can help seniors maintain independence, mobility, and overall wellbeing.

If you or a loved one is experiencing pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility, consider integrating massage therapy into a wellness routine.

With its proven benefits for circulation, pain relief, and relaxation, massage therapy is a safe, gentle, and effective way to support healthy aging.

If you have any questions reach out, our massage therapists are more than happy to answer any questions you may have!

Can Acupuncture Help with Tinnitus?

Swipe to find out...

Tinnitus, the perception of ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds in the ears without an external source, is a frustrating and often debilitating condition.

Affecting approximately 1 in 10 Australians, tinnitus can interfere with sleep, concentration, and overall well-being.

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that aims to regulate the body’s energy, or Qi (pronounced β€˜chee’), by inserting fine, sterile needles at specific points along the body's meridians.

While modern medicine offers limited treatment options, acupuncture and Chinese medicine may provide support for some individuals experiencing tinnitus.

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), tinnitus is believed to arise from imbalances in the body, particularly involving the kidney, liver, and gallbladder meridians.

By identifying the underlying pattern of disharmony, acupuncture treatments aim to restore balance and improve circulation to the ears and nervous system.

The type of tinnitus a person experiences can vary:

Sudden, high-pitched ringing may be associated with liver Qi stagnation, often linked to stress and emotional tension.

Low-frequency, constant buzzing may relate to kidney deficiency, a condition often seen in ageing or chronic fatigue.

Tinnitus with dizziness and headaches may indicate excess heat or phlegm accumulation in the body.

What does the research say?

A 2020 study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that acupuncture may help reduce the severity of tinnitus symptoms when compared to no treatment, though results vary depending on the individual (Jeon et al., 2020).

Another study in SAGE Journals suggested that acupuncture could influence neural activity in the auditory pathways, potentially reducing the perception of tinnitus over time (Cai et al., 2020).

At True Health, we take a personalised approach to treating tinnitus. Treatment may include:

Acupuncture to promote circulation and regulate nervous system function.

Electroacupuncture, which uses mild electrical stimulation to enhance treatment effects.

Herbal medicine and dietary guidance to support overall balance.

Acupuncture may offer support for some individuals with tinnitus, particularly when tailored to the underlying cause.

While it is not a guaranteed cure, it may help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being as part of a holistic approach.

If you're curious about how acupuncture can help you, we invite you to book a consultation at True Health today.
