15 Ways To Tell If Your Spine Is Out Of Line
With Spinal Awareness Week last week, why not learn
Knee pain is a common complaint. The knee is a complex joint which relies heavily on ligaments and surrounding muscles for its stability and strength. When they’re compromised, localized pain is one of the first indicators that you need to seek help.
As a load bearing joint, it is essential to ensure that the way you walk and functions of the foot, ankle, hip, pelvic and low back joints are not the reason for the pain in the knee.
As with other joints pain can also be referred from other parts of your body or the pain could be as a result of arthritis which often begins as stiffness, which tends to be worse in the morning after a night’s sleep but easing with activity.
Chiropractic care is very effective for treating knee pain to reduce inflammation, improve joint functioning and reduce pain. Each individual’s case is different and requires a thorough evaluation before a course of care can be recommended.
Definitely not! Those in their more senior years make up a large part of our members. We love helping ensure that all our members are able to move and function well, to get the most out of their lives, no matter what age they are or when they chose to start care with us!
Our members generally enjoy the feeling of being adjusted. Adjustments are not painful, but may feel strange the first couple of times or cause some slight discomfort especially if you are experiencing symptoms. After your adjustments, usually at the beginning of care, you may notice a feeling of soreness – similar to how you can feel when you first return to exercise. This is completely normal and is usually very mild and will pass in a few days, it is due to changes being made to your body.
Following your consultation, your Practitioner will recommend a specific care plan including regular adjustment or treatment visits, regular re-examination, progress reports and reviewing your lifestyle. Your unique care plan is based upon your age, presenting health concerns, lifestyle, unique spinal problems and future goals. Our clients will generally choose to continue to benefit from Chiropractic and Sports/Physiotherapy care long after they have left behind the health concerns that prompted them to connect with us in the first place once they have experienced how Chiropractic and Sports/Physiotherapy can change the way they live their life.

When compared with traditional approaches Chiropractic care is remarkably safe. Chiropractic adjustments are far safer than anti-inflammatories, painkillers, muscle relaxants, and back surgery. There are many research studies that have documented the safety and effectiveness of Chiropractic adjustments. Millions of Chiropractic adjustments are safely delivered to satisfied patients every day.
Following your consultation your Practitioner will be able to tell you whether their care is a suitable path for you based on your current health concerns and goals. Doctors of Chiropractic and Sports/Physiotherapists recognise the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient. If your Practitioner doesn’t feel they are the best person to help then we will help you find your next step. There are obviously limitations to any practice and there are times when drugs or surgery may be appropriate.
