What is chiropractic?

Chiropractic encompasses more than just the 'cracking' realignment strategies frequently seen on social media. Instead, it is a system of understanding and analysing the human body which combines modern science, philosophy, and the skilful art of therapeutic application. Some may typically consider chiropractic to be 'alternative medicine', but we strongly feel that prudent and thoughtful correction and maintenance of our spine throughout our lives is essential for optimum health. As more people turn away from drugs and surgery, and look for intelligent ways to improve their health, we know that our system of care will become more and more 'mainstream.'

Chiropractic is a type of conservative treatment system that helps many patients deal with neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and much more. That means no medication nor any invasive procedures.

At Elite Spine Centres, our chiropractic concepts consider the body as an interconnected functional unit. A fundamental understanding is that poor functioning in one area of the body often leads to adverse effects elsewhere. In short, the body moves as a kinetic chain. Weak links in the chain can create dysfunction and pain in other areas which may be compensating for the root problem.

For example, perhaps knee pain prompts you into seeking help. Some healthcare professionals might treat your knee pain by only looking at the knee joint. So long that you're relieved of pain (even temporarily), they may stop their treatments or recommendations there. The downside to this form of antiquated treatment is that it doesn't recognise that the pain is not the real problem, but rather a symptom of the problem...which is often poorly functioning mechanics of multiple areas and tissues. The actual problem may lie in a lifestyle habit or cascade effect from a different body area. Without addressing the actual source, you're often doomed to suffer from chronic or recurring pains and symptoms over time.

So how do we get rid of your recurring pains once and for all?

Elite Spine Centres' team of specially-trained chiropractors expertly detect and remove areas of poor biomechanics in the spine using customised chiropractic adjustment techniques. By tackling the root causes of your pain, any resulting interference in the normal function of the nervous system will be eliminated!

Following that, your Elite Spine chiropractor will provide more therapies as needed, along with lifestyle advice that specifically targets certain areas.

With our healing hands and holistic care, your body will be back to a blissful pain-free state!

What are the risks involved in chiropractic treatment?

While traditional manual chiropractic adjustments may appear daunting and dangerous to first-timers, it has been proven as a safe and effective treatment for pain and many other conditions over the past decades. Don't worry, our expert doctors will deliver customised chiropractic care and lifestyle advice which suits your needs and preferences.

As with any other forms of treatment, chiropractic is not one size fits all. Certain medical conditions can potentially increase the risk of an adverse event from spinal adjustments or other chiropractic manipulation.

Patients who have the following health conditions should keep their chiropractor informed:

• Cancer in the spine
• Increased risk factors or history of stroke
• Advanced osteoporosis
• Bone abnormalities that require surgery
• Other medical contraindications

Additionally, all patients will receive a thorough physical examination with our chiropractors before deciding on any treatments!

We also take your health history into account to ensure every potential factor is screened. Thus, it's best to come prepared to our chiropractic clinic with medical or health reports and scans (X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, etc.). A detailed health profile also allows our chiropractors to treat your current problems safely while customising a long-term plan that maintains the positive outcomes of a chiropractic session.
