Spinal Health Screening & Computerised Posture Assessments

Computerised Spinal Screening with
Posture Assessment & Report

By ChiroCure Clinic Chiropractors


WHAT WILL A SPINAL SCREEN LOOK FOR?

A spinal screen will assess your spine for:

  • A spinal screen will assess your spine for:
  • Vertebral, spinal and extremity misalignment.
  • Posture abnormalities
  • History of accidents or trauma
  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Poor sleeping posture
  • Poor ergonomics can cause spinal bones to degenerate. 
  • Other body signals may warrant further investigation.

WHAT IS A SPINAL SCREENING?
We all want a healthy, long and pain free easy life. To achieve this we try to take good care of our health, well-being, and body.  The key to this is the health of your spine and the function of your nervous system.  Please allow us to help you understand and discover just how important a spinal screening is, and what our chiropractors will look for and how care can benefit your health now, and long term.
 
WHEN SHOULD I HAVE MY SPINE CHECKED?
If you haven’t had your spine checked, consider this: How long would you go without brushing your teeth? Would you wait for your teeth to rot and fall out before you see a dentist? Would you wait for your car to break down before you book a service? Why not have a professional chiropractic assess the health of your spine before it starts to break down.
 

KEY BODY INDICATORS
Our Chiropractors look for the underlying cause of your health concern and provide recommendations for treatment and care. We will examine your spine, and use a computerised posture assessment tool that will analyse body position from the front and size to determine nerve interference and locate spinal misalignment.
 
KEY SIGNS
There are 10 key body signals that our chiropractors will look for during your spine screening:

  • Forward head carriage
  • Un-levelling at the shoulders
  • Rounding in the shoulders
  • Un-leveling at the hips
  • Misaligned or rotated pelvis
  • A lateral curvature in the spine (known as a scoliosis)_
  • Weight bearing on knees and ankles
  • Muscle tightness or weakness
  • Compensation or antalgic (leaning, sway back)
  • Postural strain (inflammation)

Did you know that we have a rib misalignment??

Rib misalignment is no laughing matter…

A rib misalignment occurs when your rib moves slightly (backwards and inwards) from the thoracic vertebra towards the spine, the muscles in your back will then contract and tighten to protect the misalignment.

Symptoms include:

  • Difficulty or pain when breathing, sneezing, and coughing
  • Often causes a shooting pain that around the side or front of the chest
  • May also result in neck pain and pain or numbness along the arm
Rib Misalignment is usually caused by:

– Compression or trauma to the rib cage
– excessive squeezing or coughing

– Injuries where you are hit from the side
– Twisting injuries – lifting and twisting

How can chiropractic help:

– Relief from rib misalignment is difficult to self remedy.
– You can try an ice pack on the affected area, 10 minutes on, then 10 minutes off.

– Professional assistance is recommended if the symptoms haven’t improved after three days.

Total Body Modification (TBM) at ChiroCure Clinic

Holistic TBM treatment technique offered at Chiropractic Clinic Melbourne

TBM treatment technique offered at ChiroCure Clinic StKilda (03)90135133

 TBM is treatment technique supplied by some of our remedial therapists, which is focused on detecting imbalances within the body through muscle testing and tapping specific body points. TBM then aims to harnesses energy channels which are linked to internal organs and system functioning.

Our therapists will often implement TBM treatment techniques into her chiropractic consultations, which may be a component of TBM specific assessment and/or correction, which in effect ‘switches on the body’ to respond to the more advanced treatments, such as organ adjusting and parasympathetic (fight/fight) correction in future sessions. By using this technique, Dr Leski works to improve an individual’s allergy condition or overactive nervous system to produce a bodily response.

Our chiropractors are skilled in performing a series of muscle tests during her treatment appointment to discover and correct the internal imbalances and blockages that may be impairing your health. These corrections include the restoration of organ function, re-balance blood flow, restore pressure, and improve water utilization for longer lasting correction and better overall health.

Why Is Drinking Water Important To My Chiropractic Care?

Why should we drink more water?

Water intake is extremely crucial for your body and even more so when your body is trying to heal from musculoskeletal issues. Our body needs oxygen to function optimally and many do not realise water intake is necessary to enhance their oxygen level.

The human body is composed of roughly 70-80% water and even more in the brain at approximately 85-90%. It is evidently noted that lowered water consumption may lead to a decrease in mental and physical function with possible headache symptoms such as dizziness or fatigue. When water intake is decreased, your muscles do tend to be more rigid and they are easily damaged and aggravated leading to aches and pains.

The most common misconception is that consuming fluids like coffee, tea or even soda will help with your body’s water level but it actually leads to further dehydration and our chiropractors recommend that you replace the intake of these types of fluids with even more water.


How is water good for your body?

– Removes waste and toxins from your body more quickly following an adjustment
– Reduces the severity and length of time for any side effects (including headaches, nausea, migraines ect) from the adjustment
– Speeds up metabolism and boosts energy
Maintains proper organ functions
– Aids in weight loss
– Suppresses cravings and over active appetite
– Improves blood circulation and overall health
– Gives you healthier looking skin

How much water should you drink each day?

Recommended water intake by World Health Organization (WHO) for adults is approximately 1.5-2.5 litres.

There are no set rules for each individual, however, ChiroCure Clinic practitioners recommend that you try to consume at least an average of 8 glasses of water a day, and at least 1.5L/day when experiencing pain or in the presence of inflammation. 


Ways to drink water for your health

If increasing your water intake seems like a task, try adding lemon or mint to make it taste better and less boring. Carry a water bottle with you at all times has been shown to increase water consumption without effort.

Drink water during meals can interfere with digestion, so it’s best to drink after meals. It is best to drink cool water as it is absorbed more quickly into the body. Ask your chiropractors and remedial massage therapists about more helpful tips on your next visit to ChiroCure Chiropractic Clinic StKilda East.
