DESCRIPTION

<<Is Chiropractic Safe?>> <<Put your Back Pain in Experts Hands>> <<Typical University Semester for a Chiropractor>>

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.

DESCRIPTION

EMOTIONAL CLEARING / KINESIOLOGY An extremely powerful technique for emotional release and balancing. Kinesiology is a simple yet extremely powerful technique that accesses information from the sub conscious mind about emotional issues and blocked energies in the body and its energy fields, that may result in the onset of disease in either the physical body, the mind or even spiritual states. Also suitable for weight reduction, increases self esteem and reduces limiting negative beliefs.

BOWEN A technique to assist realign muscles that are creating pain and dysfunction. Promotes physical alignment, muscle relaxation, release of tension and healing.

R.E.S.E.T. Energetically resets the muscles around the jaw or TMJ. Symptoms of jaw being misaligned or out of balance may be: Stress, tension, irritability, dizziness, headaches, dehydration, feeling unbalanced and/or unco-ordinated, dental issues, ie. teeth clenching and/or grinding.

HYPERTON-X Slowly stretches muscles to release tightness and extend range of muscle movement and function.

CHANNEL 1 1 hour or within other treatments. This is a peaceful healing treatment for the entire body. Balances/harmonises energy fields. Releases stored emotions from the unconscious mind. Aches, pain, disease and other conditions may be assisted when energy systems are cleared, stimulated and balanced. Accesses all vibrations of healing energy including Reiki, colours, sounds, crystals, etc. (Also available as courses for self healing in 2 levels)

HYDRATION Dehydration is one of the leading causes of illness. The body does not always efficiently use the water that is consumed. This balance clears energy blocks that may be inhibiting efficient use of water. If you are dehydrated your body can not function properly and may not be able to carry out its normal healthy functions. Dehydration may also contribute to the inability to cope emotionally with daily stresses.

MEDITATION (1 on 1 instruction) Learn to focus, control negative thoughts, relax and ease tension. (Course also available to increase awareness and for relaxation)
