What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic’s main focus is to help the two-way connection between the brain and the body and vice versa between the body and the brain. 

The only way of communication between brain and body is through our Nervous System.  The central nervous systems only form of protection is through the spine.  
Therefore, if there is any area that isn't functioning as it should with fixations, restrictions in motion and inflammation; this can cause an interference in the flow of information traveling through the nervous system. 

This interference slows the communication between brain and body. Making it harder for the body to adapt to this quickly changing world we live in. This can result in many things most commonly joint pain and stiffness, stress, digestion issues, loss or broken sleep, headaches and migraines.
Chiropractic locates, analyses and corrects these interference's using specific techniques with fine-tuned adjustments to restore optimal function to the spine and nervous system.

Chiropractic is so commonly thought of as strictly as a pain management profession however the focus has always been on making sure the body is able to work its best in all situations of life. As mentioned above everything is connected and as chiropractors we are passionate about seeing the people thrive and be functioning at their best no matter their starting point.  

 
Chiropractic care is safe, gentle and effective for all ages. Restoring the connections between the brain and body and allowing the body to heal itself
 

FAQ

“What can I expect on my first visit?.”

Your first visit will usually consist of walking through the doors, you will be greeted by our friendly chiropractor who will give you a health history form to fill out. After that has been completed Dr McRae will take you through into the adjustment room and talk through the form you just filled out and ask any further questions. At this point we will have finished the health history part of the consultation and will move on with some specific tests to see if we can further isolate the cause of your complaint. Following this Dr McRae will check your spine and nervous system function and if needed perform some tailor made chiropractic adjustments to the area/s that are in need. 

“Is it safe for all ages?”

Yes, Chiropractic is very safe for all ages. Every person has tailor made care with all factors taken into account. Dr McRae uses a variety of different techniques including low force activator instrument adjustments.

“How do I know if i need to see a Chiropractor?”

Everybody can benefit from chiropractic care. Getting your spine checked is more about improving overall function. 10% of the nervous system is related to perception of pain. Therefore 90% of the nervous system is making your body function. This shows us that pain is not the only indicator of dysfunction and somewhat a poor indicator. Showing we can have up to 90% dysfunction without having any symptom of pain.

 

“Can I claim ACC?”

Yes, if there has been an injury we are ACC registered so there is no referral required. If you already have an ACC number from another health practitioner we can also use that if applicable.
