Chiropractic
At Potter Chiropractic we are focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing disorders of the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Our central premise is that proper alignment of the spine and other parts of the body enables the nervous system to function optimally, which can lead to overall better health and well-being.
Our chiropractic doctors help people of all ages - from alignment problems, joint injuries, muscle pain, postural strain, and many other common conditions such as headache and back/ neck pain. Treatment will be targeted to alleviate pain, enhance function, and support your body’s natural healing powers.
What to expect:Many patients report a noticeable reduction in pain almost immediately after an adjustment due to the release of tension and improved alignment of the spine.
The enhanced joint mobility can make you feel more flexible and able to move more freely and spinal adjustments can help relax tight muscles and reduce stress on the nervous system, leading to a sense of relaxation and well-being.
Some people find that chiropractic care helps them sleep better, possibly due to reduced pain or a more relaxed state.
At Potter Chiroprcatic we are skilled in delivering a variety of techniques, including traditional manual spinal adjustments and spinal decompression. We also perform low force treatment for those who require a softer approach which includes drop-piece table, pelvic blocks and activator instrument.
Complimenatry therapies may also be utilised for your healing such as massage, dry needling, cupping and exercise rehabilitation - all depending on your needs.
- Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training, earning a five year Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree. Their education includes coursework in anatomy, physiology, neurology, and spinal manipulation techniques, as well as clinical training.
Many seniors today want to be more active and take care for their bodies.
At Potter Chiropractic we are helping people realise that our care is providing significant pain relief, greater mobility, ability to participate in more activities and reduce pain medications.
What can tend to happen in older years is a misconception that aching limbs and joints are due to the “I’m just getting old” syndrome. Well, just because you may be adding a few years, is no reason to put up with pain or even discomfort.
There are a number of treatable conditions as your age increases, including arthritis (degenerative joint disease). We just need to know precisely what your condition is and what is causing it. And the first step is to ask us – “Can you do anything for me?"
More often than not, regardless of your age, a remedy of care can be found for your specific condition. The result will invariably be reduced pain, greater mobility and your body’s ability to function better.
Babies & Children
Many parents choose, or are referred, for their babies and childrens Chiropractic assessment. Infancy and childhood are times of rapid growth, and a healthy spine and nervous system can help support their development.
We are committed to providing a thorough assessment of your children, and if required, gentle (non-manipulative) Chiropractic correction.
-Should we not be able to assist, we will help refer your children to the appropriate specialist.
At Potter Chiropractic we regularly treat babies with head flattening (plageocepahly). This a condition where a baby’s head is nearly always rotated to one side only, and after a period of time, the back of the baby's head distorts in shape.
Pregnant Mothers
Major physical and hormonal changes occur in a woman’s body during pregnancy. Joint strain, weight gain and shifts in the body’s centre of gravity are some of the common changes that occur to accommodate your growing baby. These changes can cause you joint strain and stress to the muscles and ligaments.
At Potter Chiropractic we assess for improper joint function and help restore balance to the musculoskeletal system to make your pregnancy a more comfortable journey, and to prepare the body for the birthing process.
