Chiropractic can help

What conditions can be helped?

There’s a long list of conditions that Chiropratic care has been shown to improve. In fact, there are too many to list (though we’ll add more information soon).

Come in to Peak for a free spinal assessment and we can also arrange a place for you at one of our free education evenings.

These sessions give our new patients (and those who want to know more before proceeding), an accellerated education into the potential benefits of Chiropractic care.

  • Good spinal health

    has benefits!

    There's tonnes of reasons why Chiropractic may benefit each and every one of us. But the best source recommendations come from patients who have shared their success stories (like Dr Jenner and Dr Holder).

     

     

    Case Study - Child

    Stuttering, hyperactivity, slow learner, retarded growth. WEBSTER, L. Chiropractic Showcase Magazine, Vol .2, Issue 5, Summer 1994.

    This seven year old male child was placed under care on February 14, 1994 with the following clinical picture::

    Hyperactivity, stuttering, slow learner, retarded growth, left leg approximately 1' shorter than the right with a limp while walking. Medical plans were to break the left leg, insert metal rods in an attempt to stimulate growth and equalise leg lengths. Consider the cost of such an operation! THOUSANDS. Think about the pain the child would endure. Think about the risks of surgery. The time spent recuperating from surgery. Time lost at school.

    Our examination consisted of Metrecom evaluation, full spine X-rays, and Chiropractic examination of the spine. Areas of subluxation were as follows: Sacrum anterior, inferior on the left, 5th lumbar body left, atlas, anterior superior left. Patient was placed on an intensive correction program of three times weekly for a period of two months..

    During the first seven visit's the legs were never balanced, however, each time a reduction of the short leg occurred. On the 8th visit the legs balanced for the first time. Also noticed by the 8th visit:

    1. The stuttering had stopped.
    2. The grades in school had risen from non-satisfactory to satisfactory.
    3. The hyperactivity had abated.
    4. The limp was no longer constant.

    Now consider the cost of 8 chiropractic visits and the initial consultation; approximately $420. A chiropractic adjustment lasts approx 5mins. It is not painful. The risk of injury from a chiropractic adjustment is less likely than being hit by lightning. There is no recovery time from an adjustment and no time lost at school.
