Muscle and Joint Pain
Chiropractic and Medical Acupuncture for relief from:
Back Pain
Neck Pain
Sports Injuries
Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Pain
Hip and Knee Pain
Ankle and Foot Pain
Conditions affecting joints can lead to weak and overworked muscles. Injury can be caused by overuse or a single traumatic event. Overuse injury is not always associated with moving; prolonged poor posture can cause musculoskeletal dysfunction and pain. Chiropractic care aims to relieve pain and understand the dysfunction underlying the problem. How the joints are moving and the tone of muscles is comprehensively assessed. This leads to a treatment plan and a route to recovery.
Stress and Pain
The effects of stress are far reaching and can affect the whole body, and have an impact on mental and emotional health. It affects the digestive, cardiovascular and immune systems. Stress effects on how much pain we ‘feel’. Long-term stress can affect inflammation in the body and aggravate existing musculoskeletal conditions and pain. Stress can be at the root of headaches, back pain and neck pain.
Chiropractic and acupuncture can alleviate pain generated by tension in muscles and help manage anxiety and stress.
Menopause and Musculoskeletal Pain
The musculoskeletal system (comprising of bones, tendons, muscles, connective tissue and ligaments) can be all impacted by a decline in oestrogen levels in perimenopause and menopause. Muscle and joint pain, and tendon stiffness increasing risk of injury, can be significant part of menopause. Chiropractors can help support the musculoskeletal health as part of a holistic approach to your wellbeing.
