Chiropractic (Currently Unavailable)

It’s been stated that there are five essential factors for health. The first four include; a healthy diet, regular exercise, rest and relaxation, and a positive mental attitude. The last, a sound central nervous system is often left out of health care programs, and yet is probably the most important.

The central nervous system is so important because it controls, co-ordinates, and regulates every tissue, organ, and system in the body. If it is interfered with in any way, then the body will not function at its potential.

Your central nervous system is completely surrounded by bone. Actually it is the only organ in the body that is protected this way because it is so important. This includes the brain, which is surrounded by the skull and the spinal cord that’s housed in the vertebral column or spine. Through holes between each vertebra the spinal nerves exit to supply every part of the body. If the vertebrae are not in their proper positions, that is if they are subluxated, the nerves become squashed or stretched, and the flow of messages from the brain to all the other cells in the body becomes distorted.

How can you find out if you have a vertebral subluxation? Your chiropractor is uniquely trained to detect and remove subluxations thereby re-establishing the normal supply of energy to the body, and promoting its natural healing ability. Your chiropractor will examine your nervous system and spine, and may even refer you for X-rays so that the spine can be seen in closer detail.

Can Chiropractic care help me?

Sports accidents, poor posture, improper lifting, falls, motor vehicle collisions, even carrying heavy handbags or backpacks on a daily basis may cause subluxations. They can even be caused at birth.

Subluxations may result in a vast array of problems from colic or ear infections in infants to headaches, low back pain, or a weakened immune system in adults. It is likely that they have been present for many years before any warning signs or symptoms appear. Finding and correcting spinal fixations before they start producing symptoms will help to prevent needless pain and suffering in the future.

Chiropractic care is particularly recommended for children as spinal problems frequently originate during childbirth and early childhood and, if identified early, can be completely reversible.

Is Chiropractic Care safe?

Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. The New Zealand government’s inquiry found that, “chiropractic care is remarkably safe.” It is a conservative approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs.

Consultation Fees

We believe that chiropractic care should be accessible to everyone. To aid this the Optimum Health Centre has concession rates for students, pensioners and the unemployed, reduced fees for children under 13 years of age and affordable family plans. Our fees are set at a competitive rate.

Chiropractors believe that along with healthy eating, nutritional/herbal supplementation and exercise, regular chiropractic care can help prevent unnecessary pain and degeneration of the body by helping you stay well.

Schedule a regular spinal check-up the way you schedule a regular tune up for your car. Remember you can always get another car, but you only have one spine.
