Mooroolbark Family Chiropractic Centre

Chiropractic is about looking after the most important organ in your body - your nervous system. It is the only organ of the body that is totally encased in bone to protect it. Your nervous system is the main switchboard of energy and information talking to all the cells in your body and getting that information to the brain and back again

Chiropractic is about natural health. Health is not just about feeling good it's about maximum physical, chemical and emotional well-being, not merely the absence of illness and disease.
The spinal cord is the main information highway. It is surrounded by 24 moving bones (vertebrae or spine), between each bone there is a protective cushion called a disc. Your nerves exit from a special hole between each vertebrae (intervertebrae foramina) and travel to various organs and muscles in the body. If the vertebrae are out of alignment (a term we call subluxated) the nerves won't work as well as they could. For example if you are trying to water the garden it's a good idea not to be standing on the hose! Subluxations can cause severe pain in the back or neck, headaches, pains in the arms or legs or you may have no pain at all.

At this practice we use low force, gentle techniques which move the vertebrae back into its correct position. This takes the pressure off the nerve, allows the vertebrae to move more freely, and for the body to start the healing process and it assists in relieving pain.

Is Chiropractic Safe? Yes! Chiropractors are highly trained professionals skilled in looking at the nervous system.
