What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic Care involves the clinical assessment, diagnosis and management of mechanical disorders throughout the body over a period of time. Focusing on the spine and musculoskeletal system, chiropractors are able to apply techniques that involve the manipulation of joints and soft tissues. Along with causing direct physical symptoms, musculoskeletal disorders can also have an ongoing and negative effect on the proper function of the nervous system and the general health and wellbeing of an individual.
The spine and musculoskeletal system is central to how the whole body functions and physical discomfort, pain, and poor health can often be the result of misalignment of the spine and associated issues such as poor posture. By asking the right questions, performing detailed physical assessments and monitoring changes in the body over time, chiropractors work to address physical discomfort and improve health outcomes.
Here at Healing Wave Chiropractic, we provide a full range of chiropractic services for people of all ages and levels of physical fitness. From chronic back pain, neck pain or headaches to a recent sports injury, we have the experience and expertise required to thoroughly evaluate your current health status and formulate an appropriate care plan to provide you with the best possible outcomes. Be assured that our highest priority is to seek out the root cause of your health concerns and work with you to bring about an effective solution.
With twelve dedicated chiropractors across our five locations, we provide an exceptional chiropractic care experience that meets the needs of the local Newcastle and Hunter communities. Our comprehensive approach to serving the whole community includes the provision of the highest quality chiropractic care to children, pregnant women, sports people, and families.
Chiropractic For Kids
Children of all ages may benefit from chiropractic care, with bio-structural problems and physical stress to the body commencing at birth. Regardless of age, kids are just as likely to suffer accidents and injuries as adults. From bumps on the head through to sports injuries, excessive periods sitting at school or at home in front of screens, children are susceptible to a range of skeletal and nervous system problems that may adversely affect them later in life.
As they grow, mechanical disorders and related problems can sometimes go completely unrecognised in children. Damage to or incorrect spinal alignment, misalignment of joints, and problems with ligaments and muscles may occur as a result of sporting or other physical activity (or inactivity) and other lifestyle choices. If your child is suffering from or exhibiting poor posture, it's also important that this be addressed at an early age.
Typically, and in contrast to the types of care that we provide for adults, chiropractic care for infants and children involves the use of specific low-force, low-amplitude techniques.
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Being pregnant can be a stressful time, with emotional, mental, and physical issues all likely to rise to the surface throughout this nine-month period. Many of the physical problems that women suffer during pregnancy are directly related to the health of the spine and musculoskeletal system. For example, women often experience backache, headache and sciatica during pregnancy, as well as the more common symptoms of dizziness, nausea and fatigue.
The physical stress that takes place during pregnancy can create a wealth of problems for women if left untreated, along with hormonal changes that make the pelvis more supple during the later stages of pregnancy. Along with making existing problems worse, many women develop entirely new issues during pregnancy as the structural system and supporting muscles become more susceptible to stress. Here at Healing Wave, we offer a range of low-impact chiropractic services during all stages of pregnancy chiropractor.
Sports Chiropractic
Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned pro, the sports field can be a challenging environment that can trigger or exacerbate musculoskeletal problems and contribute to other physical injuries. Our sports chiropractic services focus on identifying contributing factors and techniques to assist with the prevention of sports related injuries, and the application of specific and relevant chiropractic care to ensure ongoing optimum performance for amateur and professional athletes across multiple disciplines.
From incorrect stretching techniques, impact damage to the body and excessive use of specific muscle groups, there are many factors which contribute to injuries in a sporting environment. Here at Healing Wave Chiropractic, our sports chiropractic services are second-to-none, with our chiropractors’ direct experience with a range of sporting codes and injuries. Our sports chiropractors regularly undergo ongoing professional education in order to keep up-to-date with the latest knowledge and skills in chiropractic sports care.
Chiropractic For Families
At Healing Wave Chiropractic, we support children, parents, and entire families through the healing process. Our male and female chiropractors focus on integrated family care, with each person treated as part of a wider family unit rather than in isolation. In some cases, common health issues relating to biomechanical structure of the body may be identified from generation to generation, with genetic factors influencing specific mechanical disorders. Lifestyle factors such as extended periods sitting or other sedentary behaviours can also contribute to or exaggerate these health issues.
While each person is provided with individualised chiropractic care, we enjoy being recognised for our commitment to serving the needs of whole families. Our experienced chiropractors work with families through a process of communication and informed consent, asking the right questions and performing a detailed physical assessment in order to identify, support and improve health outcomes across generations.
