Struggling with Back Pain, Neck Pain, Sciatica or Headaches?

We understand the effects that these kinds of pain can have on your body and mind. We also understand it’s not so much the pain itself, it’s the inability to do the simple things we took for granted before the pain started – the things you need, want and love to do.

However, the limits of ‘quick fixes’ are too many. You don’t want to just feel better until the next tablet, you want a longer-term solution.  In fact, you don’t just want to recover, you want to reclaim your time and become healthier than ever before.

So then, what does a chiropractor do? Well, we correct spinal misalignment or structural distortions in your spine that compromise the health of your spine and nervous system which ultimately limits the health and function of your entire body. To achieve this we gently adjust your spine to remove interference from your nerve system allowing your body to repair, heal and function better. Your spine and nervous system is your body’s information super-highway, so when it’s not working 100% you body’s not working 100% (interference to your nervous system is like a bad modem, and no one likes slow internet).

If this sounds like you, then you're in the right place.

You might not know this, but many problems like pain, headaches, sciatica, low energy, indigestion and even poor immune functions are almost always secondary issues – fixing these in the short term won’t stop the real cause.

The primary issue here may be located in your spine and nervous system. Once we start to correct these primary problems, the secondary ones will follow.

At Vitality Health & Wellness Chiropractic we focus on identifying these primary problems through comprehensive assessment of your spine and nervous system. Once located, we’ll develop a customised roadmap to recovery, alleviating secondary problems as quickly as possible, but most importantly, addressing the underlying primary problems to help grow your health to levels that seemed previously unattainable.

Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Massage… What’s the difference?

Most people have different ideas of what a chiropractor actually does, so if you’re confused, we get it. To know if you need a chiropractor instead of a physiotherapist or massage therapist you need to know the differences.

Physiotherapy

If you’ve rolled your ankle or have specific ‘extremity’ problems in your arms or legs then a physiotherapist, with hands-on care and exercise rehab, is probably for you. If you’d like a quality recommendation, send us an email and we’ll refer you to some great physiotherapists across Melbourne.

Registered Massage Therapist

Properly applied massage therapy can be great for rebuilding and maintaining healthy muscles. If you’ve got a specific muscle problem then a good registered massage therapist – one who will do a thorough assessment and provide specific recommendations for follow-up sessions – is what you’ll want.

So Who Should I See?

This is the important question. A lot of the time it’s very hard to answer on your own (even for us it’s not always immediately apparent), luckily we utilise sophisticated technology to determine where your problem is originating – spine/nervous system or muscles.

Now let’s be absolutely clear, chiropractic is NOT a cure for any disease, condition or symptom. But when your spine and nervous system work optimally, you’re ability to heal, recover and be healthy drastically improves. The above symptoms are examples of secondary conditions that can be caused by a handful of primary conditions – one of which is the structural distortions in your spine disrupting how your brain and body function and communicate.

Our job is to figure out if the secondary conditions that you’re currently suffering from are caused by primary problems located in your spine and nervous system. If they are, we can help; if they’re not we’ll let you know and refer you to the appropriate health care professional.

How long before I see results?

If we believe we can help you based on your consultation and comprehensive assessment, we’ll prepare a detailed, customised roadmap to recovery.

This will take into account:

– Your own health goals and objectives

– The severity and longevity of your problem

– The results of your assessment.

After working with thousands of people just like you over the years, we have become extremely adept at determining who we can and can’t help and how long it might take for results to show.

It’s important to also note that while some clients experience almost instantaneous results, most start to notice significant changes within the few weeks of care.
