We share the understanding that your ability to heal comes from within and that helping an individual to become well and pain-free should be a straightforward and gentle experience. Chiropractic specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and management of a variety of conditions, due to problems with the joints, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, especially related to the spine. Chiropractic is drug free, safe and natural, and is backed by research.

⏳ Healing Takes Time — And Coordination ⏳

Your body is constantly repairing, regenerating, and rebuilding — but this only happens when your nervous system can properly coordinate every cell involved. For true healing to occur, your spine must be balanced so those vital messages can flow freely.

When the spinal column is out of balance, that coordination is interrupted. Cells don’t get the right signals at the right time… and dysfunction follows.

Think of it like rowing a gig boat 🛶:
When every rower is in time, coordinated, and the boat is balanced, you glide effortlessly and travel further with less energy. But if one side is out of sync, the whole boat struggles — progress slows, and everything feels harder than it should.

At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, we help your body get back in rhythm, so it can do what it’s designed to do: thrive.

🌟 Why We’re Always Checking the Top of Your Skull! 🌟

At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, you’ll often see our chiropractors gently assessing the very top of your skull — specifically the occipital fibres. But why?

Any distortion or imbalance in your spine creates a reflexive pull on the muscles that attach at the top of the skull. These subtle tensions act like “warning signals,” helping us understand what’s happening further down the spine.

In SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique), we use these indicators to ensure your spine is clear, aligned, and functioning at its best. The occipital fibres give us powerful insight into how your nervous system is adapting.

If you’ve noticed us checking this area during your visit, now you know — it’s one of the most important windows into your overall spinal health!

🚗😅 Callum’s Big Motor-Pattern Challenge!

Here’s a snap of Callum bravely taking the wheel… on the left-hand side of the car, not the right!
(Yes, we all made it back in one piece — promise! 😂)

Trying something new like this is more than just a laugh — it’s a perfect example of how new challenges fire up the brain. When we step outside our usual habits, we create fresh motor patterns, stimulate new neural connections, and keep our nervous system adaptable and sharp.

At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, we love helping your brain and body communicate clearly so you can keep learning, moving, and taking on whatever life throws at you — even left-hand driving!

Your nervous system is like the electrical wiring of your body — it controls everything. When that wiring isn’t functioning at its best, signals can get scrambled, slowed, or blocked… and that’s when aches, tension, low energy, and other “mysterious” issues can show up.

At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on restoring clear, balanced communication in your nervous system so your body can work the way it was designed to. When the wiring is working, you work better too.

🌿 SOT: Reducing Tension, Restoring Balance 🌿
At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, we use Sacral Occipital Technique (SOT) to help your nervous system function at its best.

Neurosurgeon Alf Breig showed that the brain and spinal cord act like one continuous tension system. When the spinal structures are under postural strain, it can create Adverse Mechanical Tension — a pulling or strain on the nervous system that can affect a myriad of bodily functions.

✨ How SOT Helps:
SOT gently balances the neural tube, spinal cord, and the cavity around it using specific blocks and precise, low-force adjustments. This reduces tension and helps the brain and body communicate clearly.

💡 When the nervous system is balanced, your body can return to a stable internal environment — meaning better coordination, smoother function, and natural healing can occur.

🌟 PLAY: Fuel for a Healthy Nervous System 🌟
At Shaw Chiropractic Clinic, we know that one of the simplest ways to support your brain and body is through play — at any age.

🧠 Play boosts neuroplasticity, your nervous system’s ability to form new connections. This keeps you adaptable, resilient, and better able to handle life’s stresses.

Here’s how play strengthens your nervous system:

🤝 Social Play – Interaction challenges your brain to respond, adapt, and communicate.
🏃‍♂️ Physical Play – New movement patterns build fresh neural pathways.
🧩 Cognitive Play – Problem-solving and creativity sharpen thinking and strengthen connections.

When we play, we grow.
So this week, make time to move, think — and PLAY.

Coordination is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as "the organisation of the different elements of a complex body or activity so as to enable them to work together effectively".

We see this in a bee hive. Each worker has a role from cleaning cells, feeding younger bees, defence and building and maintenance of the hive.

They must work in harmony in order to maintain the structure of the hive and produce the fruit of their labour, honey!

Our bodies require this same level of coordination as the bee hive, all of our cells with their individual function must work together in order to achieve: movement, immunity, cognition, filtration and excretion, just to name a few.

This is all coordinated via your nervous system.

As the seasons change, so do our bodies!

If your body is asking for more rest, heartier food, and more time with family and friends, then you are functioning just as intended.

Structure reflects function.

The Clifton suspension bridge is under maintenance at the moment and you may think twice about crossing if you were to see a structural fault!

Callum was yet to have symptoms, similar to how the suspension bridge was, functional, but under maintenance, as you can see from his posture he had a misalignment in the upper neck.

This was detected at his regular check up and corrected before his body could express symptoms. Similar to how bolts are replaced on the suspension bridge before it can express a major fault.
