Chiropractic, the Hands On Approach

Chiropractic has a philosophical approach.

Chiropractic care is a gentle and natural way to relieve pain and optimise health outcomes.

Chiropractic aims to remove the interference to our bodies' natural ability to maintain our optimal state of homeostasis and health.

Chiropractic has always searched for the natural way of doing things and better health outcomes without drugs or surgery.

In Touch Combines its Core Chiropractic Care With Home Exercises

Recent research has indicated that for the best long term outcomes with chiropractic care, exercise therapy needs to be a part of the care plan.

Exercises are targeted to the individuals needs as assessed by the chiropractor. There is often a combination of stretching exercises (long muscles are strong muscles) and strengthening exercises (weak muscles tend to get tight and irritable).

We send home exercise sheets, and demonstrate exercises in house. If you are a current patient and have forgotten/lost your exercises or would like an update please ask at reception to book a special appointment for this :)

Chiropractic is Effective

Chiropractic is not just about Pain Relief

Studies have shown that there is an alteration of muscle tissue health in spinal pain sufferers. It has also been shown that muscle activation patterns change as soon as the individual is feeling pain such that different muscles are recruited when performing a task with neck muscle pain as without pain. These alternative muscle use patterns switch off core muscles and recruit more superficial muscles creating weakness and instability as well as overuse tightness/injury.

Active exercise in this pain state can actually perpetuate this compensation muscle activation pattern. It has been recommended that pain is reduced before active exercise programs are introduced. Also Specific muscle exercise is recommended over general exercise to reprogram these pain induced patterns and re-establish better motor programs.

Pain relief can be achieved without drugs or surgery in many cases and there are many studies that show spinal manipulation and mobilisation is effective with chronic low back pain, chronic neck pain, and acute lower back pain and neck pain. It is recommended that this is combined with specific muscle exercise for best long term results

The conclusion of this study was that both active and passive treatments offered pain relief but only the exercise group also improved motor function, thus highlighting the importance of specific active exercise for improved motor control of the cervical spine.
