Sydney’s inner west community is a thriving place where many people are out and about enjoying all the area has to offer. With such an active community all types of injuries, from recreational to sporting injuries can occur. This often leads patients to wonder, who do I see for my health and wellness goals. A Five Dock Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractor or remedial massage clinic. Or do I need a sports injury centre? The good news is there is no bad choice. The key is to find the right fit for you. So what is the right fit?
All chiropractic, osteopathy and physio services in Australia are performed by highly qualified university graduates. Therefore you should begin by looking if the clinic you are considering attending has a particular interest or provide services specific to your needs. For example, chiropractors have expert knowledge of the spine, joints and nerve-related problems. Likewise, you could see a Five Dock physio who specialises in hand injuries.
The second question to ask is how complete is the treatment provided. For instance, if you are looking to reduce neck pain from an injury. Does the practitioner begin with a history and thorough assessment each treatment, or only on the first appointment? Does treatment consist of muscle work (massage therapy or stretching), joint stretching (mobilization or adjustments), movement training and/or functional exercises?
Lastly, how much treatment does the practitioner or their clinic team do on your body? Ideally, you are looking for a combination of time spent performing hands-on treatment and teaching you how to prevent re-injury.
Chiropractors and osteopaths treat all body conditions to do with your joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. For both your spine and your peripheral joints (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees etc.). Your peripheral joints treatment due to general or sporting injuries is not a physio services only. Chiropractic and osteopathic treatment of your peripheral joints are very in-depth, often involving the surrounding joints as injury of one joint always places stress on other joints. Chiropractors and osteopaths do great peripheral joint care, with some chiropractors specialising as a sports injury centre.
When looking at conditions related to your joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons chiropractors and osteopaths can also help with conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, headaches or COPD. As these all have a link back to your musculoskeletal system. Check out our services page and what our friendly team can help you with.
Chiropractors and osteopaths have traditionally been known for their care of patients presenting with injuries and pain of their spines and necks. This is an area of the body where all chiropractors and osteopaths have in-depth knowledge and will be able to help you.
All chiropractors and osteopaths treat conditions in your neuromusculoskeletal system. The main difference from a patient’s perspective is the massage. Traditionally chiropractors don’t do massage, whereas osteopaths do. In our current world, many practitioners do a combination of massage therapy, mobiliations and adjustments. The key really is to find the practitioner which suits you best.
