Low Back pain is one of the top two reasons that people seek out chiropractic care. Chiropractors at Elsternwick are uniquely qualified to provide low back pain relief. Chiropractors at Elsternwick are uniquely qualified to restore the health of your joints, muscles, nerves and connective tissues. After locating the misaligned joint in your neck, we manually apply gentle pressure and reposition the joint to its proper joint mechanics. These adjustments can help restore alignment, improve mobility, and relieve low back pain, swelling and stiffness.
Mid back pain is a kind of pain felt in the area below the neck and above the waist or lower back. The middle back is composed of 12 vertebrae which are part of the thoracic section of the spine. The middle back is naturally strong and stable. The elastic cartilages which are found between each bone serve as shock absorbers and also, there are muscles and tendons that provide stability to the back.
Shoulder pain is an extremely common complaint for the Chiropractors at Elsternwick, and there are many causes of this problem. We have listed some of the most common conditions here to help you get an idea what they are and what chiropractic treatment can do to help.
Neck pain is one of the common presentations to a Chiropractor and one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints overall. Two thirds of the population will get neck pain at some point in their lives. 5% of the population at any given time suffer from it.
Headaches are one of the most common health complaints experienced by Australians. Everyone will experience a headache at some point in their life. Chiropractic care has been shown to be very effective in treating the most common forms of headaches. There are hundreds of classifications of different forms of headache, with many different causes.
Sciatica is characterized by pain, numbness, and weakness in the leg. Commonly pain and numbness are located at the calf, foot, or back of the thigh. This is usually preceded for a few weeks by lower back pain. Eventually the leg pain becomes worse than the back pain. Pain can either be dull and aching or can be a shooting pain down the leg all the way to the toes.
Knee pain is an increasing problem in society and as a result we see more and more patients with knee problems in our centres. Chiropractic treatment is very effective for many of the problems that cause knee pain and although a condition such as osteoarthritis is not curable, the symptoms can be reduced and the progression of the problem can be helped thanks to our unique approach to treatment.
Tennis elbow and chiropractors are a natural fit. Tennis elbow usually refers to pain in the outer part of the elbow and the upper part of the forearm. This pain is caused by inflammation of the tendon when it rubs against the bony protuberance at the outer part of the elbow. The adjustments done by the chiropractor can realign the entire body and reduce pressure on the elbow ligaments.
Scoliosis is a medical condition where the spine curves sideways in an "S" or "C" shape. This curvature can range from mild to severe and may cause various symptoms such as uneven shoulders or hips, back pain, and in severe cases, difficulty breathing. While the exact cause of scoliosis is often unknown, it can be attributed to factors such as genetics, abnormal growth patterns, or neuromuscular conditions.
