Spine degeneration – Let us Explain…


spinal degeneration chiropractic clinic stkilda 3183

Chiropractic Adjusting and spinal degeneration

Chiropractic Care for musculoskeletal conditions

Chiropractic treatments at ChiroCure Clinic are aimed to provide relief to patients experiencing pain and discomfort in the body and spine. Pain may be caused by an underlying spinal condition, including degenerative disc disc, facet joint degeneration, end plate degeneration and osteophyte formation.  Degeneration in the spine occurs naturally throughout the ageing process.
Our chiropractors may refer patients for a cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine x-ray or spinal series radiographs, for diagnostic assessment to determine the extent of spinal degeneration and other spinal related conditions. 

Your ChiroCure chiropractic practitioner will discuss your diagnosis and clinical recommendations based on their findings from your assessment, x-ray imaging, and treatment response, to determine the best course of treatment for your spinal health.​

Therapy may include:
​
– Exercises and stretches
– Therapeutic Ultrasound
– Decompression therapy
– Anti-inflammatory creme
– Rehab program (swimming/pilates)
– Therapeutic pillows
– Posture support
– Natural supplements
– Mobilisation
– Activator adjusting

Treatment for musculoskeletal injury after a fall or injury

Health is important particularly at a young age.
Discover what paediatric chiropractic care at ChiroCure Clinic can offer your children…

ICPA (International Chiropractic Paediatric Association), has recently published a study in the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children.
Out of 5,438 office visits only 3 minor aggravations were reported, such as minor discomfort, following the adjustment.
In the study over 90% of the chiropractors and parents reported improvement in the child’s presenting complaint. Both also reported improvement in the child’s behaviour, sleeping pattern and immune function.​

Do you want your child developing the same spinal problems that you have as an adult?

If there is a history of spinal problems in your family, your child’s spine may not develop properly.
Early detection is essential in preventing certain spinal problems developing.
Previously, spinal degeneration was viewed as a result of ageing and ‘wear and tear’.
However, research has recently revealed that there is also a substantial influence of heredity on spinal degeneration.

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.
Knee Pain ChiroCure Chiropractic

When you have bad posture, your bones move out of alignment. This may cause a shift with the balance of weight and put unnecessary stress on your joints.

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!

posture correction chirocure clinic

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.

Ultrasound therapy at ChiroCure

ultrasound therapy chirocure

Ultrasound therapy is used by our chiropractors at ChiroCure Clinic to minimise muscle pain and movement dysfunction; by penetrating the derma below the skin using sound waves to deliver vibration and deep heat to the treated tissues. 

Our practitioners often use ultrasound therapy followed by adjusting the spine and area of dysfunction, this can help to stretch the joints and relive the pain. 

Passive range of motion exercise may be followed by active range of motion exercise when our chiropractors incorporate ultrasound therapy into your treatment. 
​
It may be more effective to receive a massage or gentle chiropractic manipulation following ultrasound therapy, as the body will be more relaxed and area less inflamed.

Therapeutic Ultrasound treatment helps to:

  • Remove stiffness
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Decrease swelling
  • improve pain
  • increase circulation
  • Promote pain-free movements
  • Encourage faster healing
  • Allow for chiropractic adjusting to inflamed area​
