Did you know that chiropractic care can be a preventative healthcare option? Meaning you don’t have to wait until you’re suffering from neck pain to seek help for it.
Whether you’re a new or existing chiropractic patient, if you’re eager to maintain your neck health before it becomes a problem, then join the 300,000 Australians who visit a chiropractor each week.
Research shows that neck pain is a leading cause of disability in adults (reported up to 20% of adults), with many presenting for assessment.1
Implementing positive spinal health habits in the first place, including good posture, sleep hygiene and partaking in regular stretching and exercise regimes are important factors in preventing neck pain.
So, by visiting a chiropractor you can help ensure these practices are best supported.
Chiropractors use a variety of non- surgical techniques, such as spinal adjustments, manual therapy and low force intervention. They can also offer advice and assistance to help you make the best lifestyle choices for your overall health and wellbeing – reducing the risk of neck pain and stiffness arising in the first place!
Our vision is that more Australians value and experience chiropractic care for their health and wellbeing.
