One of the diagnostic procedures that we use is x-rays. X-rays help chiropractors quickly diagnose fractures or breaks in bones, dislocations, degeneration, thinning of bones, infections in bones and joints, developmental abnormalities, and certain types of tumours. Chiropractors receive training in radiology and radiography as part of their chiropractic education.

Our chiropractor Shane prides himself on performing very thorough patient examinations. Through the use of x-rays and other diagnostic procedures, he will be able to diagnose and treat your specific problem effectively. If you would like to book a consultation, please call us at 9725 3319.

You want the best start for your kids and for them to reach their full potential. Sometimes spinal hereditary problems and physical trauma can set your children back. Our chiropractor Shane can provide gentle, safe treatment to help with your child's spinal issues.

What are the benefits of paediatric chiropractic?

If your child has injured themselves (from a specific trauma such as a fall or a sporting injury), school bags, and computer use, or if they have a specific condition or certain symptoms, in almost all cases, chiropractic can help to alleviate symptoms as well as help your child to achieve optimum health.

Symptoms
- Toeing
- Flat feet
- Clumsiness
- Scoliosis
- Sports injuries
- Back pain
- Postural difficulties
- Slouching
- Headaches
and a host of other problems...

Are paediatric adjustments safe?

Chiropractic adjustments on children are extremely safe. The amount of force used in a chiropractic adjustment on a young child is “eyeball pressure” i.e. the force delivered during the adjusting procedure can be tolerated on a person’s eyeball. Adjustments are therefore extremely gentle, but very effective.

How can I find out what kind of treatment my child needs?

Give us a call on 9725 3319 and book a consultation today. Our chiropractor Shane will perform a thorough examination of your child and provide gentle and safe treatment that is tailored to their size, weight and spinal condition.

During pregnancy your body produces hormones to relax your ligaments; without these, your baby’s head would never be able to fit through your pelvis. But those hormones, combined with your gorgeously swollen belly, can leave you loose-limbed, sway-backed, and unusually clumsy, due to a rapidly lowering centre of gravity (Look out below!). All of this can do quite a number on your spine. Chiropractic care may be able to undo much of this damage and get your lower body in proper alignment for an easier birth.

Why Should I Have Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

During pregnancy, there are several physiological and endocrinological changes that occur in preparation for creating the environment for the developing baby. The following changes could result in a misaligned spine or joints:

* Protruding abdomen and increased back curve
* Pelvic changes
* Postural adaptations

Establishing pelvic balance and alignment is another reason to obtain chiropractic care during pregnancy. When the pelvis is misaligned it may reduce the amount of room available for the developing baby. This restriction is called intrauterine constraint. A misaligned pelvis may also make it difficult for the baby to get into the best possible position for delivery. This can affect the mother’s ability to have a natural, non-invasive birth. Breech and posterior positions can interfere with the natural ease of labour and lead to interventions such as c-sections.

The nervous system is the master communication system to all the body systems including the reproductive system. Keeping the spine aligned helps the entire body work more effectively.

What Are The Benefits Of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?

Chiropractic care during pregnancy can provide benefits for women who are pregnant. Potential benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy include:

* Maintaining a healthier pregnancy
* Controlling symptoms of nausea
* Reducing the time of labour and delivery
* Relieving back, neck or joint pain
* Prevent a potential cesarean delivery

If you would like to reduce the likelihood of ligament damage, muscle strain, and lower your risk of disc injury during your pregnancy, Please call us on (02) 9725 3319 to book a consultation with our chiropractor Shane.
