Natural health care for your spine and entire body Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system and how that relationship affects our health.

Chiropractic adjustments involve the application of a precise yet gentle force to a section of the spine that needs correction. This has been shown to reduce pain and improve spinal function.

Recently our team spent a Sunday out at RMIT learning more about the use of Rocktape as a therapy for a whole range of muculotendinous injuries.

Rocktape is a dynamic tape (also known as Kinesiotape), which is different from traditional static tapes. For fans of the AFL ..read more

For much of the last century it was the accepted scientific view that the brain did not change beyond the critical learning period of seven years. It was thought that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) were hard-wired nerve connections that were immutable, and if injured, could not heal. Neuroplasticity This thinking changed in the 1990s thanks to neuroscientists such as Michael Merzenich who showed with research that the brain could in fact change, that it can and does grow new nerve connections in response to certain sensory stimulation from the environment. From these discov ..read more

Scoliosis is when the spine deviates or curves abnormally from side to side. It most commonly affects adolescents between 10 and 15 years old. Research shows that scoliosis is more common in girls than boys. Scoliosis can affect a youngster’s posture, produce uneven shoe wear and cause ill-fitting clothing. Often one shoulder can be higher than the other, along with an uneven pelvis. Neglected, the abnormal sideways curves may cause abnormal function of internal organs and changes in muscle tissue.

The case was referred to the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority (AHPRA) and the results of their investigation were released last week.
