In Australia, chiropractors are licenced healthcare professionals. As recognised by the government through AHPRA and Medicare. To achieve chiropractic registration, a Chiropractor undergoes rigorous university training. This comprises a 3-year undergraduate degree and a 2-years master’s program. This training makes chiropractors experts in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal problems. Particularly those that affect the spine, joints and nervous system. Ongoing research continues to grow the list of benefits of chiropractic care. For example, recent studies state chiropractic benefits respiratory patients with COPD.
Chiropractors use various natural, non-invasive techniques to help you. Most care is designed to manage pain and improve your health and well-being.
Five Dock Osteopathic and Chiropractic Centre aims to provide gold-standard care. We combine massage, adjustments (Adjustments involve applying a small, controlled stretching force to joints, to improve movement) and movement training. A typical treatment involves soft tissue massage, manual adjustments, or spinal manipulations. Followed by advice on movement patterns to decrease the chances of further symptoms. The focus of your care is to help improve your joint mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing.
After providing an accurate diagnosis and hands-on manual therapy, our chiropractors will provide you with at-home exercises. Exercises and stretching will focus on movement re-education and functional movement retraining. This will complement the hands-on care you receive at the clinic. To give you an active pain-free life.
