North Shore Chiropractic

Our Approach

Your joints are designed to move. When they stop moving properly unfavourable things happen. We see changes in posture, limited ranges of motion and stiffness. If left moving not enough or too much this can result in pain and injury. The Chiropractors at North Shore Chiropractic look at you as a whole so that we not only address to painful areas but also the dysfunctional areas which can often prolong your condition.

Based on our findings, your history, body type and preference we choose the joint therapy that is best suited to you. These include manual adjustments, instrument assisted adjustments and mobilisation combined with:

  • soft tissue releases / massage
  • shock wave therapy
  • dry needling
  • rehabilitation / corrective exercises / strength plans

Why?

When your joint aren’t moving properly this puts pressure on surrounding areas of the body which can lead to injury and pain.

What do I do about it?

Find the hidden problem area with an initial appointment. Once we know the problem areas and tailor a treatment plan to you, you will save both time and money by:

  • Increasing the specificity of treatments
  • Teaching you to look after the hidden problem areas
  • Reducing the overall number of treatment sessions instead of working with your symptoms alone.

What is the difference between Chiropractors and Physiotherapists?

We are often asked in clinic: “what’s the difference between Chiropractors and Physiotherapists”?

Injuries happen and it can be very confusing when you are in pain and wondering if a chiro or a physio would be the best person to see for some treatment.

We hope to shed some light on what it is exactly these professionals do to make your decision in choosing a practitioner that is right for you a little easier.

The short answer is it depends on the practitioner you see! Historically Chiro has focused on skeletal function where physio focused on muscular groups. Today evidence based medicine and the fact that we all tend to read the same research means that there is a lot of overlap between how both physiotherapists and chiropractors practice.

Chiro

Chiropractic has come along way in recent years, A lot of our patients are surprised we treat muscle, ligament and tendon problems not just joint and spinal complaints! We used a combination of this hands on therapy with take home exercises to get the best results for our clients helping them meet their goals. Our long 30 minute treatment sessions are tailored to our clients, using a combination safe and effective methods in every session:

  • chiropractic adjustments
  • soft tissue releases / massage
  • shock wave therapy
  • dry needling
  • rehabilitation / corrective exercises / strength plans

We have fund that this combination of treatment modalities will have patients out of pain fast and keep them there.

Physio

The Australian physiotherapy association define physiotherapists as “professionals who work in partnership with their patients to help people get better and stay well.”  Phyio’s will often use a combination of treatment methods such as:

  • rehabilitation / corrective exercises / strength plans
  • Massage
  • dry needling

Treatment times vary and often there is a greater focus on having the patient moving with exercise and less time with hands on care however this again depends on the practitioner.
