Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine concerned with the diagnosis, and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Chiropractic Care, as practiced at Wholistic Health Centre, stands out for its preventative philosophy. One key focus is to detect and correct the dysfunctional areas in the spine that negatively affect health and well-being of the body, due to the influence on the nervous system. This in turn enables the body to function at its optimal potential. Our Chiropractors work not only to alleviate pain but also to transition patients into wellness care, emphasising regular adjustments to maintain optimal function and movement, while also minimising the risk of injury or pain; ultimately preventing issues before they arise.
This proactive approach allows our Chiropractors to detect and correct subtle misalignments, dysfunctions and functional issues, potentially avoiding more serious health problems down the line. It’s a journey from immediate relief to long-term health, ultimately improving your quality of life. Underscoring the importance of seeing a chiropractor even when pain isn’t present.
Our Chiropractors will adopt a Holistic treatment plan that involves the use of various approaches, including soft tissue techniques such as massage, dry needling, stretching and mobilisation (gentle movements of the joints to improve mobility), and manipulation/adjustments. In addition to these hands-on approaches, our Chiropractors employ other interventions such as prescribing exercises, advice on managing the condition such as activity modification, lifestyle advice and education about the person’s condition.

Macquarie University defines chiropractic as a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
Most of our patients find Chiropractic adjustments to be relaxing and enjoyable, with many leaving feeling better than when they walked in. We don’t anticipate you’ll be in any additional pain after an adjustment — we hope it helps your body jump start the healing process!
That depends greatly on your unique problem. When you come in for an initial visit, we’ll go over your health history and find out exactly what’s causing the problem. Then, we can devise a unique care plan specific to your needs only. That way, your body will be receiving the exact care that it needs—no more, no less.
