How exciting!

Dr Thorn and Dr Greg have had a case study published in the Asia-Pacific Chiropractic Journal.

The study shows improvement in craniovertebral angle in a person with anterior head posture using Advanced BioStructural Correction.

This supports the evidence that links Chiropractic care to improvements in forward head posture and the effect that has on various health outcomes.

You can read the study at the link below:

Abstract: This paper reports improvement in cranioverteral angle in a patient presenting with forward head posture using Advanced Biostructural Correction. Further research as noted is needed explore the health implications related to this.

Is The Absence of Pain An Indicator Of Health?

There’s not a soul on this planet that hasn’t experienced pain at some point.

Pain has its uses. Most of the time it is a HEALTHY response of the body to some source of harm.

But with roughly only 10 percent of the nervous system dedicated to perceiving pain, is it an accurate indicator of health?

Pain is an alarm bell to say that SOMETHING is wrong. In this article, I’ll be dealing with some misconceptions about pain.

As a Chiropractor, I spend my days engaging with people who are seeking health. But are they really seeking health or avoiding disease?

“Love is the synergy and synchronicity of complementary opposites” – Dr John Demartini

Dr Thorn has taken inspiration from Dr John Demartini and written an article for us on love.

"With February being the month of love I thought it appropriate to discuss this subject which Hollywood and social media has distorted to such an extent that it has become unrecognisable and quite frankly unattainable, banished to the realm of fantasy. We’ve created this picture in our mind, more like we’ve had this picture created for us, of what love means and it’s completely one sided." - Dr Thorn Vivier

Peak Chiropractic - New - Relieving pain and suffering, rebuilding bodies, transforming lives and optimising performance

The central nervous system is one big information highway and it carries vital messages to every part of your body.

When miscommunication occurs due to abnormal movement in the spine, Chiropractors call this a vertebral subluxation, you might hear that term again from your Chiropractor, so now you’ll know what it means.

By making gentle adjustments to the spine Chiropractors restore its’ natural movement.

If the central nervous system is like the engine of your body, a Chiropractor acts like a mechanic, tuning the spine and central nervous system, so that your body can run like a race car.

Why people see us...

SPORTS PERFORMANCE

Chiropractic care helps athletes at all levels achieve optimal performance.

It’s not just injured athletes who visit Chiropractors, an estimated 90% of all world-class athletes routinely use Chiropractic care to prevent injuries and boost their performance.

A misaligned spine can interfere with the functions of all other systems, causing athletic performance to suffer.

Regular Chiropractic adjustments keep the brain/body working smoothly, which in turn boosts the body’s overall performance.

In one study, athletes showed a 6.12% performance increase after receiving Chiropractic care.

That’s why so many athletes—from professional sports teams to high school players—regularly see a Chiropractor to stay
in top shape.

Do you have poor posture?

There are two things we are willing to bet you don’t know about posture.

1. Posture = Health – many of us don’t realise that posture is also an indication of your overall level of health. Your posture has profound effects on your heart, lungs, brain function, immune system and even your digestive system.

2. Posture is not about how you hold yourself up with your muscles, it’s about how your body holds itself up when well aligned.

Chiropractic care can help straighten you out.

PREGNANCY

Pregnancy should be a special time in a couples life when they can celebrate their happiness at the anticipation of the arrival of their precious bundle of joy. It should not be filled with stress, illness, pain and discomfort.

Vitalistic Chiropractic care can assist in combatting these hurdles.

Chiropractors can assess the alignment of the pelvis and make sure that it is in the correct position allowing your baby to get into the ideal position for birth.

Having your Nervous System checked will ensure that communications between mother and growing baby are clear and functioning correctly.

A study conducted by Dr Irvin Henderson MD (a member of the American Medical Association Board of Trustees) demonstrated that “Women who received chiropractic adjustments in their third trimester were able to carry and deliver their child with much more comfort.”

Make sure your Spine and Nervous System are functioning at their highest with regular Chiropractic care before, during and after pregnancy for the health of you and your unborn child.

At Peak Chiropractic we offer pregnancy chiropractic and wellbeing solutions to assist women with their spine, and nervous system to ensure functioning.
