DESCRIPTION

Chiropractic is an approach to health and wellbeing that focuses on the body’s own natural ability to function and heal itself. The human body is extremely complex and intricate and is made up of over 75 trillion cells with specialised functions that adapt to your body’s changing requirements. It is the brain and nervous system, which control the function of every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. This very delicate and important tissue is protected by the skull and spinal column, which is comprised of 24 moving bones.

Many everyday activities can cause bones to lose their normal motion or position, which affects the spinal column, nerves, muscles and soft tissue. If the nervous system is impaired, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs throughout the body. Doctors of Chiropractic refer to this as the vertebral subluxation complex. A vertebral subluxation is an area of altered spinal motion, tension or misalignment that interferes with the flow of information and energy along the spinal nerves and throughout our nervous system.

There are various things that can cause vertebral subluxations like physical, mental, emotional or chemical stress. Some of the possible effects of vertebral subluxations include:

  • Reduced function of the different organs or system of your body
  • Changes in muscular tension
  • Reduced flexibility , balance, muscle strength and coordination
  • Asthma and allergies
  • Reduced ability to learn, concentrate and other behavioural problems
  • Reduced ability to sense or feel your body and emotions
  • Poor posture and altered spinal curves such as Scholiosis
  • Low back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, pain in other parts of the body (depending on which nerves are affected)

Adjustments are the precise methods Chiropractors use to correct vertebral subluxations and improve the function of your spine and nervous system. Adjustments are designed to be specific, effective, and as comfortable as possible. There are many ways to adjust the spine some methods are quick and others require a slow constant pressure. Regardless of the adjusting technique, Chiropractic care is tailored to each patient’s age, condition, and spinal problem. After years of training and clinical experience each Doctor of Chiropractic becomes highly skilled in the delivery of a variety of adjusting techniques.

To become a Chiropractor takes a minimum of 4 years University training, comprising of extensive study in anatomy, physiology, body mechanics, pathology, radiology, biochemistry, nutrition and adjusting techniques. Chiropractors also attend additional post-graduate studies and seminars to keep their knowledge and expertise up to date throughout their career.

Chiropractic Care is a natural approach to better health that is proven safe and effective. Its focus s to help you be as healthy and vibrant as you can be, performing at your best and living life to the fullest.

STOP SMOKING LASER TREATMENT

FEES

$480 (usually 1 treatment is sufficient combined with the client's desire to cease smoking)

DESCRIPTION

Pain free, relaxing and effective. Cold laser therapy is a modern, laser based version of acupuncture. Instead of acupuncture needles a cold laser beam, no bigger than a ball point pen is directed onto energy points in the body, ears, nose and wrists.

Low level laser treatments are drug free, painless and non invasive. The laser is applied to specific body points that block addiction receptors and stimulate endorphins into the body. Endorphins are the natural mood enhancers. By blocking the addiction receptors in the brain the release of endorphins allows the client to cease nicotine without withdrawal symptoms.This procedure is quick easy and painless and takes 30 minutes.

What is Ignite Your Spirit Healing?

Ignite Your Spirit (IYS) Healing is a form of energetic healing developed by Shakti Durga (Kim Fraser) which is very powerful and life changing for those open to it.

This means you can effect change in any part of your life.
People come to IYS sessions for a variety of reasons such as financial difficulties, dissatisfying or unhappy relationships, anxiety & depression, physical illness & pain as well as searching for more meaning and direction in life.
IYS requires no touch, you are fully clothed, comfortable in a chair & sessions are up to 1hour. It is not a religious thing - every person has a spirit whether they go to church or not and every person has the capacity to experience Divine connection and self-realisation.
