Since then, research knowledge of the best approach to treating your injury has grown. Equipped with this research, and having moved to a great space designed to give you the best quality of care. Our Burwood family chiropractic clinic has evolved into a centre of excellence for improving and maintaining your mobility and strength.

There are many ways to treat patients as an osteopath or chiropractor. A chiropractic treatment can look only at the spine and nervous system. Or a chiropractor could specialise in sporting injuries or deep tissue work to create a pain-free life for you. Osteopaths and chiropractors can also use different techniques to relieve pain, assist recovery and improve the quality of your life. An important point to note is that osteopaths and chiropractors, when examining your health will use your symptoms as a road map to the underlying cause of health, movement or body concerns. For example, back pain can present with different symptoms depending on the underlying cause. Your symptoms may be caused by restricted hip movement creating extra movement stress on your back joints.
There are many techniques an osteopathic or chiropractic clinic can use to treat you. For your recovery treatment can include:
Many clinics will combine techniques to offer you options for care.
Your osteopath or chiropractor’s first aim is to relieve your problem’s root cause. Your chiropractor or osteopath will listen to your symptoms, for example, back pain or carpal tunnel will have different causes. So your chiropractor or osteopath will listen to your symptoms and then examine how you function, your lifestyle and other factors like previous injury or spine and nervous system problems. To establish the root cause of your problem. They will then treat your body at the cause.
Chiropractors and osteopaths treat all health conditions to do with your joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. For both your spine and peripheral joints (shoulders, elbows, hips, knees etc.). When looking at conditions related to your musculoskeletal and nervous system, chiropractors and osteopaths can help with 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 in their spine 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.
Many patients wonder how to choose a chiropractic or osteopathic practice, and it is a great question. Our advice is to search around for the right fit for you.
How long does the chiropractor spend with you? Do they offer relaxation massage or deep tissue work as part of the treatment or adjustments only. Do they focus on back pain, sporting injuries or headaches? Are they comfortable treating patients in pain? Everyone is different so find the practitioners that best suit you.
If you are in pain, you should contact a clinic with a team that regularly treats pain. If you have neck pain, nerve pain, back pain or joint pain, the key to your treatment is to use techniques that calm your nervous system and increase blood flow to the injury. If you are seeking health or lifestyle services most chiropractic practices will be helpful in providing quality care and advice.
