So, what is chiropractic care about?

Health is based on the body's ability to communicate. Chiropractic care helps restore our brain-body communication, allowing our bodies to feel and function at their best. Our brain sends signals down to every cell in our body giving it the proper instruction to carry out the desired function. As we accumulate stress in our daily lives, it tends to disrupt the way our body communicates. Many of us have often felt those areas of stress or tension in our body which are sometimes experienced as pain or discomfort.

Our Chiropractor's Dr Rod Le Coz and Dr Marti Harris are specialists in the body's movement system - the complex interaction of nervous system, muscular system, and skeletal system. We look at how your body functions and how your spine impacts your health when there is misalignment.

Your first visit to our practice will include a consultation and examination. This will help our Chiropractors determine the cause of pain and develop a treatment plan. Treatment may involve adjustments, exercise and/or other therapies.

If you're ready to get started on improving your health and body function, schedule an appointment today. Call (07) 4953 1622.

The Fundamentals of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is based on the principle that your body has the ability to heal itself. When your musculoskeletal system is in alignment, your nervous system can function properly. This allows your body to heal itself from many forms of injury and other conditions. Chiropractic care can help relieve pain, improve range of motion, and prevent further injury.
