Chiropractors in Melbourne
For a Holistic Approach to Healing, Try Our Chiropractors in Melbourne
Life is tricky enough to navigate through without being weighed down by your body’s aches and pains. We cater to those who are starting to feel the effects of the passing of time in their joints and muscles or suffer from the after-effects of a strenuous job. Perhaps you’re serious about your sport and are looking to reach new levels of physical ability at the gym or even professionally. Our chiropractors in Melbourne provide non-invasive and non-surgical treatments to help potentially restore your ability to move freely and reach new heights, whether in your everyday endeavours or in your more ambitious sporting goals.
Signs You Need to See a Chiropractor
Once our skilled chiropractors have established the cause of pain in your muscles, joints, or spine, they can help determine the best course of action to alleviate the varying degrees of pain that you experience, from mild discomfort to excruciating pain. Depending on your ailment, they apply the technique most applicable to your condition.
This treatment doesn’t happen in isolation: the chiropractor will set out a plan for maintaining your physical wellbeing long after you have received therapy from us. They will advise you regarding which complementary treatments you may need to undergo to enhance the effectiveness of your session—for example, they may recommend massage therapy, dry needling, or active release techniques to help encourage long-term relief from the following concerns.
- Unrelenting tension headaches: Your neck and spine not being aligned or mobile may be one of the triggers of this condition. Our chiropractor in Spotswood can help restore your spinal alignment for improved nerve function, which in turn may help relieve your splitting headache.
- Incessant joint pain: Musculoskeletal misalignment is a very common reason behind this concern. Our chiropractor in Newport helps to improve nerve functionality to target the aches in your body.
- Sedentary or highly active lifestyle: Sitting at a desk for hours on end leads to neck and back pain from poor posture. This harmful way of sitting could be the result of the seat of your chair not being the right height from the floor for your body’s proportion—for example, if your feet don’t reach the floor, or if you have to extend your legs out in front of you. Your desk’s height also plays a role in potentially damaging your stance. If you have to reach your arms over the desk’s edge to type at your computer, or your elbows aren’t supported when you reach down, you could be compromising the state of your spine, shoulders, wrists and elbows. Perhaps you have a physically demanding job that results in major discomfort at the end of each working day. Our chiropractors in Williamstown can help to target strained muscles, pinched nerves, and major muscle tension to encourage relief from occupationally induced injuries.
- Numbness and limited range of motion in your limbs: If you experience tingling in your toes and fingertips or a shooting pain in your limbs, it could be an indication of a herniated disc, which is a condition so serious that it could lead to muscle wasting. You will need professional assistance from a chiropractor to help address this issue. Your chiropractor will adjust your spine which can help to take the pressure off a pinched nerve.
Differences Between a Headache and a Migraine
If you can’t think straight because you suffer from regular headaches or, worse, aren’t able to function in your day-to-day life because of a migraine, we offer headache treatment in Melbourne. Because you may experience migraine symptoms a day or two before a migraine occurs, we encourage preventative migraine treatment. In this course of treatment, our practitioners may recommend changes in your diet to exclude substances that may trigger a migraine, such as alcohol and caffeine.
Although you can treat headaches with over-the-counter medication, steps that you take to help prevent a migraine may include taking prescription medication such as antidepressants, blood pressure lowering medicine, or even antiepileptic medication. Our team can work in tandem with your existing migraine relief pathways.
What are the differences between headaches and migraines?
- Location: With a headache, you experience pain on both sides of your head. You will typically only feel a migraine on one side of your head.
- Pain quality: The pressure from a headache ranges from mild to severe. Headaches can last from 30 minutes to up to a week. A migraine is a more intense pain during which the sufferer experiences throbbing so severe that they have difficulty performing daily tasks.
- Causes. While a headache may be the result of tension from stress, upper cervical joint problems, and muscle strain, migraine triggers can include emotional anxiety, contraceptives, alcohol, hormonal changes, and menopause.
- Other symptoms: In addition to the intense pain of a migraine, other symptoms include pain behind one eye or ear, pain in the temples, seeing spots or flashing lights, sensitivity to light or sound, temporary loss of vision, nausea, or vomiting.
Our integrated migraine treatment in Melbourne involves identifying and targeting migraines early to help you do everything that you can to reduce or avoid their debilitating effects.
What You Can Expect from Melbourne Road Health Group
We approach healing holistically, providing clients with plans for how to maintain the levels of physical relief and comfort that they may feel from the treatment that we provide. For example, we provide stretch and exercise advice so that you can take your body’s wellbeing into your own hands.
We offer multiple massage therapies, such as remedial, deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, sports, relaxation, dry needling, plus myofascial cupping to target joint tension and help to potentially increase your body’s range of motion, assisting with improving your posture in the process.
Here are examples of the conditions that we target to get you on your way to optimal overall health:
- Neck pain treatment. Melbourne athletes and office workers alike may notice that their movement is restricted and they cannot turn their heads without experiencing pain. We provide massage therapy to improve blood circulation and, in turn, potentially stimulate oxygen flow to reduce the pain that causes inflammation.
- Back pain treatment. Although no responsible practitioner could claim to have one-size-fits-all back pain cures, our qualified and experienced chiropractors are highly skilled at myotherapy. In this muscle therapy, we help to restore and maintain the integrity of soft tissue such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
- Headache treatment. We offer massage services that help address headaches. In line with our holistic healing commitment, our therapists use natural balms made from essential oils to enhance your experience of the treatment with aromatherapy.
