Conditions
Back Pain
Your spine has 24 moveable bones, known as vertebrae, and 8 fused bones making up the sacrum and coccyx. When these bones are in the correct position, you should not feel any pain. Pain is the final way of your body telling you something is amiss.
Unfortunately, most modern-day lifestyles will have a negative impact on posture, which leads to spinal pressure. This will ultimately result in pain, most commonly felt in the lower back. Book your chiropractic spinal health check.

Neck pain &
Headaches
Your head is quite heavy, usually weighing around 5kg! Quite a weight for your neck to support. Your cervical lordosis (neck curve) should resemble a backward “C” which allows for good range of motion, flexion and extension. If the curve is lost, the neck can resemble a straight line or even start to curve in the opposite direction, leading to pressure on the surrounding ligaments and muscles. This prolonged pressure will result in pain and discomfort and is also commonly found as the cause of some headaches - either tension (muscles) or cervicogenic (joints).
Arthritic Joint Pain
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder that affects cartilage. Cartilage is what makes your joints move smoothly and without pain or clicking, so as you can imagine, a change in your cartilage can affect your joints negatively. Chiropractic can help maintain the movement of your joints and help reduce pain from arthritis by helping your body cope with the changes inside your joints.
