How do you know if you've found a good chiropractor?

They will:

- Take time to listen to your concerns and understand your health history before starting treatment.

- Explain what they're doing and why, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.

- Focus on evidence-based techniques and work collaboratively with other healthcare providers when needed.

- Set realistic expectations and create personalised treatment plans.

- Respect your autonomy, never pressuring you into long-term contracts or unnecessary appointments.

You should choose a practitioner who treats you as a partner in your overall care.

How to treat your spine better.

Daily habits may help support better spinal health and comfort.

Consider these evidence-based approaches:
– Use a supportive chair that promotes good posture
– Take regular breaks every 30 minutes to move and stretch
– Incorporate core-strengthening exercises like planks and bridges into your routine
– Be mindful of your posture when using mobile devices

While these habits may contribute to spinal health, they are not a substitute for professional assessment and treatment.

Consider a Chiropractor today.

Where does it hurt?

Everything in our bodies is connected in some way.

When it comes to back pain, the place where you feel it most might not always be where you most need support.

It’s my job to understand how your nervous system is functioning, where to treat and where to allow the body to heal.

You’ll find that a Gonstead chiropractor spends some time analysing before adjusting. That’s a big part of the Gonstead approach.

By doing what you might call the “detective work” first, Gonstead chiropractors are looking for very specific things that will enable them to make precision corrections.

It's like the difference between treating a headache and finding out why you have the headache, then working to remedy that.

The Gonstead system was designed to find and treat the root of your problem.

Your wellness routine isn't just "self-care" – it's science.

When you meditate, your cortisol levels drop.

When you move your body, you flood your brain with BDNF (basically fertilizer for neurons).

When you prioritise sleep, your glymphatic system literally cleans metabolic waste from your brain.

Every wellness practice you do creates real, measurable changes in your physiology.

Your body and mind aren't separate – they're in constant conversation. What you do for one, you do for both.

Could chiropractic treatment help your eyes?

Are your eyes always tired?

If you feel like your eyes are working overtime, chiropractic may be part of the solution.

I recommend regular exercise, not just because that's what the textbooks or studies suggest, but because everyday I see the difference it can make.

I know that moving my body regularly has helped me sleep better and I have way more energy.

I've experienced first-hand how even a 20-minute walk can completely shift my mood.

I want to always show up as my best self for the family, friends, and patients alike.

Chiropractic care takes a holistic approach to musculoskeletal health, focusing on assessing and managing issues related to the spine, joints and nervous system — without the use of surgery or medications.

Chiropractors use a range of manual therapies, including spinal manipulation and mobilisation, with the aim of supporting movement and function.

Here are 7 ways chiropractic can benefit your life.

Chiropractic FAQ: Is chiropractic care safe for elderly patients?

There are a lot of good reasons why I love being a chiropractor.

It’s a profession that focuses on a holistic, whole-person approach to wellness — something that strongly resonates with my own values.

I enjoy the daily challenges because each patient is unique. Together in the diagnostic and treatment process, we formulate a customised care plan that may include dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

What truly excites me is seeing patients build greater confidence in their bodies, and working towards goals in flexibility, strength and movement.

It’s deeply rewarding to be part of someone’s journey toward better wellbeing and quality of life.

Your Health Reset Starts With the Basics

Sometimes the most powerful things we can do for our health are also the simplest.

Here are three very simple things that become even simpler once we make them habitual and routine.

➡️ Moving Your Body
Even 20 minutes of movement can shift your entire day. Regular activity strengthens your heart, boosts energy levels, and releases endorphins that naturally lift your mood.

➡️ Breathing Fresh Air
Breathing fresh air reduces stress hormones, improves focus, and helps regulate your circadian rhythm. Nature has a remarkable way of pressing reset on our nervous system. Even five minutes outdoors can make a difference.

➡️ Prioritising Sleep
During rest, your body repairs tissue, consolidates memories, and balances hormones that regulate everything from appetite to mood. Most adults need 7-9 hours, and the investment pays dividends in mental clarity, emotional resilience, and physical health.

These three practices work together, creating a positive cycle: movement and fresh air improve sleep quality, better sleep gives you energy to move, and the combination strengthens both body and mind.

I used the Nervo-Scope while assessing Matt’s spinal issues.

The Nervo-Scope is a temperature-sensing instrument we often use during our clinical assessment process.

It measures small variations in skin temperature along the spine using two probes.

These readings can provide information that, alongside other assessment methods such as case history, observation, and manual palpation, help us to determine areas that may need further attention.
