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.

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.

Therapeutic Ultrasound treatment helps to:

  • Remove stiffness
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Decrease swelling
  • improve pain
  • increase circulation

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

How massage therapy compliments Chiropractic treatment?                                Our practitioners explain…

The Benefits of Massage Therapy with Chiropractic Care

Massage is often recommended along with chiropractic treatment, either before or after and adjustment, as part of a patients treatment regime. The combination of these treatments often produces more effective results, and faster healing for the patient.

Remedial  massage therapy at ChiroCure clinic can be performed as preparation for chiropractic adjustment because it relieves the muscle tension that may be pulling joints out of alignment and makes it easier to move back into place.

Massage therapy can compliment the healing process by stretching and relaxing muscles that have been aggravated by structural problems, making it easier for you to stretch and exercise, and thus more quickly achieve a state of well being.

Chiropractic treatment at ChiroCure helps the digestive system.

how can treatment help my digestion?

The nerves that run through the thoracic spine control the stomach and stomach functions.

If the vertebrae of this mid-back region are subluxated, the irritation of these nerves will distort messages between the brain and body, causing erratic nerve impulses to the stomach increasing acid production.

Chiropractic adjustments at ChiroCure Clinic with our highly trained practitioners can help to remove misalignments that may be impinging nerves, which normalizes nerve flow often eliminating stomach issues.


what symptoms can chiropractic improve?

  • heartburn
  • acid reflux
  • gas
  • bloating
  • digestion
  • nutirent absorption
  • ​constipation
  • water absorption
  • ​sleep quality
  • a combination of these symptoms

We offer therapeutic supplements to aid in supporting your digestive health to compliment your care.
