About chiropractic and our chiropractor services
What do chiropractors do?
Chiropractors are musculoskeletal therapists who share a market place alongside physiotherapists and osteopaths in dealing with musculoskeletal pain e.g. sporting injuries, sprains, strains, osteoarthritis, jaw pain, headache, back pain, neck pain, etc. The modern chiropractor practices evidence based therapy. Here at George Street Chiropractic we use varieties of soft tissue therapy such as massage and active release methods, alongside manipulation and joint mobilisation. We often prescribe therapeutic exercise and give advice regarding posture and ergonomics. One of the main goals of treatment is to help restore and enhance movement of your joints and muscles. Prior to any treatment a full history and examination is made and if further investigation is needed we may order X-Ray or MRI, etc.
What should I expect after my first chiropractic treatment?
What you experience after your first treatment will depend on the condition treated. Usually you feel a lot of relief. Occasionally, if your problem has been long standing then we may have needed to break adhesions in order to get you better quickly. This sometimes results in the tenderness or inflammation in the area. In this situation your chiropractor will discuss this and advise you on how to minimise the discomfort. These symptoms are temporary and if you get a rapid recovery are more than worth it. Sometimes there may be a lot of inflammation in the area being treated and there may be some pain and discomfort reflecting this. Again this will be temporary and we will advise you on how to minimise this. If your experience is something you are concerned with, always call the Chiropractor back.
Do I need a referral from my GP to see a Chiropractor?
Although we do get referrals from GPs, you can present without one. For those on an Enhanced Primary Care program (EPC) a GP referral is necessary.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. This is reflected in our relatively low Professional Indemnity insurance fees. As with all healthcare services there are risks and minimising risks is paramount at our clinic. A detailed history and examination is carried out before any treatment to ensure that the proceeding treatment is safe and effective. We loosen the body and only use minimal forces at our centre.

Research shows that one of the best ways to ward off 'frailty' that often comes with ageing is to build up your muscles and embrace weight training.
Why do we hurt? Do we actually experience pain, or is it merely illusion? In this video, Lorimer Moseley explores these questions, and position the pain that we feel as our bodies' way of protecting us from damaging tissues further.
A Doctor-Professor answers the old question "What is the single best thing we can do for our health" in a completely new way. Dr. Mike Evans is founder of the Health Design Lab and Associate Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of Toronto.
Chiropractic can be a helpful measure if the specialist determines that joint blockages are the cause of back pain. A chiropractor can release the blockages by means of targeted impulses and thus relieve the back pain.
The body is intelligent and can heal itself. From this idea chiropractic has evolved around an art, a science and a philosophy. Our brain and the nervous system control the body, our body gives back information to the brain. So they depend on each other for us to be healthy.
