Is posture behind knee pain?

When you have good posture, you sit, stand and walk properly so that your skeleton is properly aligned, your weight is evenly distributed and your body is in balance.

Over time, when misalignments in the spine result in misalignment of the bones, you may suffer from chronic joint pain and show a limited range of motion in your shoulders, spine, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

At ChiroCure Clinic our therapists can help you!

Insomnia… what is it?

Sleep insomnia treatment ChiroCure StKilda Melbourne

Sleep is a foundational requirement for good health, and sleep problems will nearly always contribute to illness and diseases. If you’re having trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting deep, restorative sleep then it’s likely you have a sleep dysfunction and possibly insomnia.

How to balancing the Autonomic Nervous System  (ANS) 

Have the correct posture, bio-mechanical structure, and movement of the spine play a vital role in regulating hormone balance and fixing the problem that no drug or pill can resolve. The spine experiences an intimate connection to the autonomic nervous system (ANS) through microscopic nerves and receptors densely populated in the small muscles, ligaments, and joints in and around the spine.

Our nervous system communicates with the brain on a second-by-second basis for an entire lifetime. An altered autonomic nervous system balance results from abnormal movement or misalignment in a person’s spine and posture. In this case, healing and rest become a major challenge when the body struggles to communicate.

Scientific research conducted in 2015 provide research into how Chiropractic adjustments can help remove interference from the autonomic nervous system, balance stress and sleep hormones, and improve the body’s ability to gain greater rest through bettersleep.

Many patients who received spinal adjustive care experience an improvement in stress hormone balance compared to patients who did not utilise Chiropractic care. In addition, many other health conditions improved due to the powerful impact that radiates from the spine following regular adjustments.

Chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic advises that it’s a combination of eating well, moving the body, reducing emotional stress, and deep breathing that generates a healthy well-being.

Our chiropractors will always ensure we create a comprehensive care plan personalised to your condition and allow your spine and nervous system to be free of interference.

Dr Tania Leski – Our Principle Chiropractor

She is passionate in helping people of all ages benefit from chiropractic care.
The most important health habit that she believes you can work on that you are likely not is, “Prioritising Sleep”.
Dr Leski is available every Tuesday ,Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday at ChiroCure Clinic.

Passive range of motion exercise may be followed by active range of motion exercise when our chiropractors incorporate ultrasound therapy into your treatment.

Treatment and menstrual pain

​Most women have to withstand a lot of pain whilst having their regular menstrual cycle and many dread this experience. Common symptoms experienced includes sharp, cramping pain along with headaches, nausea, low back pain and bloating which may be severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living.
The most common term dysmenorrhea is used to refer to menstrual cycle pains with the aforementioned symptoms.
What is dysmenorrhoea?
Dysmenorrhoea in simple terms is known as painful periods or menstrual cramps in the absence of any underlying abnormality. Symptoms typically last less than 3 days. Generally our practitioners physical examination and patient history will rule out the involvement of organic pathology. 
​
What causes the cramps/pain?
As part of normal physiology during your menstrual period, the uterus contracts to help expel its lining when no fertilisation of the oocyte (egg) occurs. A hormone-like substance called prostaglandin, which is involved in pain and inflammation, causes uterine muscle contractions. It is suggested that excessive production and release of prostaglandins may cause severe muscle contractions that constrict the surrounding blood vessels and thus, briefly cutting off supply of oxygen to the muscle tissue, resulting in cramp-like pain.
​
How can remedial  massage provide relieve for menstrual pain?
Treatment is a drugless, non-surgical, natural and we take a holistic approach to relieve pain and associated symptoms. Our practitioners aim to make sure your body functions at its maximal potential by aligning the spine to reduce interferences in the nervous system.

Our team of Remedial Massage therapists at Chirocure Clinic also use a wide array of techniques to improve blood circulation around the body and improve the body’s healing process, their techniques include:

  • Muscle Tension release
  • Dry Needling
  • Therapeutic reflexology
  • Cupping techniques
