Conditions We Help
Chiropractic care is focused on the spine and neuro-musculoskeletal system, with specific regard to how related conditions can cause health and physical performance issues and limitations. Chiropractors are trained to evaluate your neuro-musculoskeletal system, identifying restrictions, imbalances, and dysfunction where they exist.
What conditions can benefit from chiropractic care?
- 01
Back Pain
One of the most common reasons to visit a chiropractor, both of these conditions can be caused by subluxations in need of adjustment. Chiropractic care has been shown to be clinically effective at treating acute, subacute, and chronic lower back pain.
- 02
Some migraines/headaches
Not all headaches relate to the neuro-musculoskeletal system, but painful tension headaches and migraines which are being caused by myofascial dysfunction in the neck and headaches with cervicogenic symptoms may find relief through chiropractic treatment.
- 03
Neck Pain
Minor neck pain is a relatively common complaint, but more intense pain, tension, and stiffness can be quite painful and disruptive. They are also indicators of poor posture, which can benefit from chiropractic treatment.
- 04
Sciatica
Studies have shown that Chiropractic can be an effective treatment for Sciatica. Spinal adjustment can help to reduce inflammation, muscle spasm and pain.
- 05
Shoulder Pain
Joint and muscle pain which is caused by overuse and/or injury can limit mobility, making life unnecessarily difficult. Chiropractic care may help arthritis, rotator cuff pain, adhesive capsulitis, and some issues related to injury and overuse.
- 06
Stiff or Painful Joints

Muscular Aches
- 08
Arthritic Pain
- 09
Minor Sport Injuries
When pain is being caused by a repetitive strain injury, often seen in those who play sports or who have highly physical jobs, chiropractic care can sometimes alleviate pain. Specific joints may be targeted for mobilisation, or manipulation through manual therapy which is intended to increase your range of motion, reduce nerve irritation, and allow the surrounding muscles to relax.

Pregnancy back and pelvic pain
The natural changes which a woman's body experiences during pregnancy can lead to discomfort in both the spine and the pelvis. As care options during this delicate time are somewhat limited, chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive way to manage your pain without the need for medication and restore normal motion and feeling both during and after your pregnancy.

Aggravations due to bad posture
Chiropractic adjustments can also play an important role for kids and teens, who are vulnerable to poor posture due to device use, television watching, and sedentary behaviour. Bad posture puts excessive strain on the neck and upper back, which can lead to permanent posture changes and spinal problems. Kids who play sports and those who've taken a fall or had a playground injury can benefit from a chiropractic assessment, which can identify potential issues caused by the incident.
