What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a holistic health care discipline developed to provide a safe and natural approach to improve the way your body moves and functions.
Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine, and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Our nervous system controls every cell, tissue and organ in our body. By maintaining an optimal structure free from restriction we give our bodies the best chance of handling everyday stresses.
Poor posture, slips and falls, sports injuries or lack of exercise can cause the bones of your spine (vertebrae) or other joints to lose their usual motion or position.
Joint misalignment can result in decreased nerve function which can cause a chain reaction that affects the vertebrae, nerves, muscles, soft tissues and organs, resulting in degenerative changes throughout the body. Symptoms may include pain, restricted movement, weakness, numbness, and headaches to name a few.

Assessment & Treatment
Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is critical to successful care. At Wamberal Chiropractic Centre we believe it's just as important to understand how the body has allowed this to happen. To determine the causes of your condition we will perform an assessment of the area and if further information is required we will refer you to for x-rays or further diagnostic imaging.
Treatment plans are tailored based on our assessement and utilise the following techniques.
- Joint manipulations
- Low force mobilisations
- Soft tissue / massage
- Rehabilitation exercises
- Stretching and preventative exercises
