Are you looking for a family health care practice that provides natural, drug-free way to reduce pain, improve mobility, and achieve better health overall? Look no further than the welcoming change that a therapeutic chiropractor can provide instead of the usual drug-centric approach. Are you interested in receiving the best chiropractic experience with longer therapeutic chiropractic appointments with so much more to offer than just spinal adjustments and joint manipulation? Then you have come to the right place. Read on as we explain our approach to chiropractic care and the services we provide at our clinic. With a clinical example of a Dulwich Hill chiropractic patient.
Chiropractic care is often associated with spinal adjustments and joint manipulation, but it is a much broader field that encompasses a variety of techniques and therapies. Therapeutic chiropractors are trained to do more than look after your spine. Chiropractic care addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, shoulder injuries, hip and knee injuries, sciatica, sports injuries, and more.
Use various treatment techniques, tools, and modalities to deliver therapeutic treatment aimed at reducing pain and improving mobility in the musculoskeletal system. While joint manipulation is a valuable technique used by most if not all chiropractors when treating patients to help relieve pain and improve mobility, a therapeutic approach to chiropractic care incorporating a range of treatment modalities, including soft tissue massage therapy, exercise and rehabilitation, lifestyle and activity modification advice, often help patients to achieve optimal health and improved quality of movement with better longevity.
For example, if you have shoulder pain, treatment programs combining chiropractic, massage and functional exercises, will address the tightness in your muscles and joints. While functional exercise will look at your strength and movement patterns.
Our inner west therapeutic centre offers our patients safe and effective treatment options. Our focus is on a holistic and therapeutic approach to chiropractic care that addresses the root cause of your pain or discomfort. We focus on the whole of you rather than just the symptoms. At our inner west therapeutic centre, you will be treated by experienced practitioners using techniques, tools, and modalities, including but not limited to spinal adjustments and joint manipulation.
To ensure we provide you with a treatment that is holistic, our chiropractors will provide soft tissue massage therapy, exercise and rehabilitation, and lifestyle and activity modification advice to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support an active and healthy lifestyle. At our inner west clinic, treatment plans are tailored to your needs whilst considering your specific condition, past medical history, and overall health.
Spinal adjustments: This is the most well-known technique that chiropractors use to treat conditions related to the spine. It involves applying pressure to a joint that is not moving correctly. The goal is to restore the joint’s proper movement and mobility, which can reduce pain and improve function
Chiropractors may prescribe exercises to improve strength and flexibility, and to help prevent future injuries. They may also use rehabilitation techniques to help patients recover from injuries or surgeries. We have found functional exercises to be the most effective form of rehabiliatation exercises.
Chiropractors may also use soft tissue techniques, such as massage or trigger point therapy, to release tension in muscles, ligaments, and tendons.
Chiropractors may also provide lifestyle advice, such as ergonomic tips for the workplace or suggestions for maintaining good posture throughout the day.
Chiropractors may also use other techniques such as dry needling, shock wave therapy, ultrasound and more to complement their treatment.
Whether you’re dealing with back pain, neck pain, headaches, or other musculoskeletal issues, our therapeutic chiropractors will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. We are dedicated to helping our patients achieve long-term relief from pain and improve their quality of life. We use massage, adjustments and functional movement exercises as combining these individual skills you will receive the most comprehensive and holistic care.
Recently we were treating a patient from Dulwich Hill, nsw. This patient is a New South Wales level participant in sport who is looking to represent Australia. Being close to Dulwich Hill when looking for a Dulwich Hill chiropractic clinic, we were fortunate that the patient chose us. The patient’s main goal was to improve their mobility to prevent injury to their lower back and hamstrings.
Our Dulwich Hill patient had a history of repetitive lower back and hamstring injuries. Having seen both a physiotherapist who looked at strength exercises and a chiropractor who mainly used spinal adjustments. The Dulwich Hill patient had not seen a therapeutic centre that combined massage, adjustments, and functional exercises for strength and movement pattern retraining. The advantage of this treatment is the holistic approach to your movement. Firstly we improve your movement, which helps heal and prevent injury, and then we rebuild your strength and movement to heal further and prevent injury. Pleasingly our Dulwich Hill chiropractic patient was able to achieve their goal of going from representing New South Wales to Australia.
