About Chiropractic Care and Chiropractic Adjustments

The word Chiropractic means ‘to be done by hand’. Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare solution where Chiropractors use adjustments to restore normal joint function to the spine and support the nervous system. When spinal dysfunction is restored there is an improved neurological connection between the brain and the affected spinal segment that helps to restore the function of all of the tissues in the affected area. 

Spinal dysfunction can occur due to physical trauma, or any type of chemical, emotional or mental stress. Often if the spine is out of alignment, it can cause several symptoms such as, headaches/migraines, mood changes and hormonal issues, poor posture and chronic muscle pain and tension. This is usually when you would come to visit us!

Benefits of Chiropractic Care

The majority of our patients experience an improvement in the overall quality of their life when adjusted on a consistent basis. Depending on your age and condition, “consistency” can mean a few times a year to twice a month. It’s common to hear people report greater vitality, a rewarding sense of well-being, and the reduction or elimination of pain.

At Belridge Chiropractic we provide our patients with a variety of research-based techniques that are gentle and reliable. Our Beldon chiropractic clinic takes a more hands-on active approach. These techniques are some of the most popular chiropractic techniques used in Perth Chiropractic clinics.

The benefits of manual adjusting methods.

Manual Chiropractic adjustments help to remove subluxations, which are nerve interferences in the spine. The subluxations can be a result of falls, accidents, poor posture, and even joint weakness. Manual chiropractic adjustments can:

• Relieve pain
• Reduce joint stiffness
• Restore the normal movement of the joint in the body
• Improve posture
• Recover your full range of motion

Other techniques used are:

Activator Methods®
This is a low-force technique that uses a handheld instrument to apply the force to adjust the spine and joints.

Diversified and Gonstead
Are both manual techniques that use force applied through the hands to adjust the spine and joints.

Thompson Drop
A specially designed adjusting table that drops slightly to assist the thrust while maintaining the force used during the chiropractic adjustment.

Soft Tissue Therapy/and Dry Needling
Dry needling is a quick and gentle procedure used for muscular and soft tissue issues. It is used by our chiropractors to reduce pain and muscle tightness, focusing on myofascial trigger points.
