ABOUT THE CHIROPRACTOR

OUR STORY

We are a family-run Chiropractor who aims to work with people in our community who share our values of vitalism and natural health through education, community, and wellness.

The state of your body affects everything you do. There are things we need to do, like sleeping; things we want to do, like making better decisions at work; and things we love to do, like having more energy to enjoy our families.  

If our bodies are not functioning with ease, the things we need, want and love to do become more and more difficult. Chiropractic helps your body function the way it was designed, not making these things more difficult. 

CHIROPRACTIC

Chiropractic is the third largest healthcare profession in the world and primarily focuses on your Central Nervous System (CNS) and its control of the body. Your brain and spinal cord are the most important organs. It has to coordinate every other system in the body every second of your life. The main purpose of the brain is to receive a stimulus from your environment, interpret it and then respond as quickly as possible.

 

Many stressors in the CNS can be divided into three main categories. Firstly, our biggest physical stressor is gravity.  Other physical stressors can be too much activity without proper alignment, sitting for long periods, falls and accidents. Secondly, chemical stressors like over-the-counter medicines, food intolerances and other chemical pollution can also affect your immune system and metabolism. Thirdly, emotional and chronic stress can have a strong impact on the optimal functioning of the CNS. 

Most people think that they have to wait to feel something before they seek help. But in fact, only 10% of your nervous system feels pain and by the time you feel something, you have too much tissue damage for your body to self-repair. Often there are other asymptomatic signs that Chiropractors are trained to find in order to help your body heal as quickly as possible so that you can function optimally every day.

Health always comes form the inside out.

FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY

Healthcare is continuing to evolve and Functional Neurology serves to bridge the gap between Allopathic medicine and complementary medicine. As chiropractic deals mainly with changes to the Central Nervous System, we can start to provide more precise and accurate care for people.

 

We know about the strong connection between the brain and the body. The brain initiates and coordinates movements in the body and the body has to relay information of its environment back to the brain. It is a continuous, multi-sensory ongoing loop that can be easily distorted.

 

The limitations in the scope of conventional medicine are such that unless a patient needs surgery or ongoing medications for symptom relief, choices are limited. Functional Neurology aims to increase the functional pathways and the connections within the brain so that we can restore our adaptive capabilities. We do this by analysing and comparing the visual, vestibular and cerebellar pathways that fire down into the spinal cord and vice versa.

 

Sunitha has undertaken the Neurology Masters Program through the Carrick Institute. They are the most prestigious and well-renowned in the profession. The Carrick Institute and its scholars pride themselves on keeping up to date with the latest developments in Neuroscience and by doing so aim to help people to the best of their ability.
