Toowoomba Chiropractors : FAQ
Toowoomba Chiropractors are often asked...
Can Chiropractic help with… ?
As a Toowoomba QLD Chiropractor we never look to “treat” a condition. It may be semantics, but our primary focus is on restoring normal nervous system function as best we are able. Because the nervous system is the master regulator of the body’s function, it is simply amazing the changes that can happen with different health problems when we address low back or neck pain.
We have a pretty good idea of what levels of the spine are associated with different organ systems of the body e.g. heart or digestive system function and can examine and, if indicated, adjust these, often with remarkable changes. Sometimes the original problem doesn’t improve very much, fortunately not too often, yet even so people commonly report improvements in so many other areas.
How does Kinesiology work?
Kinesiology uses muscle testing and the reflex points associated with the meridians of Chinese acupuncture to gently and effectively address a wide variety of health problems. Patients very often report immediate changes in their level of comfort and improved movement with this simple technique.
Once I start Chiropractic, do I have to keep coming?
As Toowoomba Chiropractors we make this very clear to all our patients on their first visits: whether you simply want relief from pain, a little more to help stabilize different areas related to your problems to prevent recurring episodes or choose to continue in our wellness care program, the choice is entirely yours. Its not that you have to, but once people experience the benefits of their Chiropractic care, they simply want to keep coming because it helps them be healthy and to feel well.
Why does the supplement I am using not seem to be helping me?
Many of our patients ask questions about the supplements or products they are using and are often very uncertain of what may be right for them. They often take a ‘stab-in-the-dark’ while standing in front of the shelves in the supermarket isle with a myriad of choices before them.
A couple of simple considerations often helps to clarify things: Is the product whole food sourced (i.e. derived from something that we might normally eat such as grains, fruit or vegetables)? Whole food supplements have so many more available co-factors that assist the actions of the key nutrients and the naturally occurring racemic mix provides the best balance for maximum benefit to the body. Secondly, is the product in the most readily available form for the body to use? This is where our experience as chiropractic practitioners is helpful, knowing what is regarded as the best type of product e.g. glucosamine hydrochloride over glucosamine sulphate or an animal source of Omega-3’s over plant based Omega-3’s. Then there is a need for consideration of the quality of the processing to maintain the integrity of the nutritional content, how it is stored and delivered
