Whole Body Vibration – Get Faster Results From Your Care
Get Better Results From Your Care.
One of the key components missing from most Chiropractic Clinics is Rehab. Physiotherapists, on the other hand, may have fantastic rehab – but alas are often unable to provide the corrections to restore normal Spinal Biomechanics.
To assist in our Rehabilitation Programs we use a number of different devices, physical therapies, exercise therapies, mirror image exercises, Spinal remodelling and traction equipment.
One of the most popular, and evidenced based machines, used to assist You in Your recovery is Whole Body Vibration (WBV).
WBV can be used to assist with virtually all strength, stretching and rehabilitation programs. The 3D Vibrational Technology provided by our medical grade plates is quite impressive in its ability to help you recover faster, improve your flexibility and stimulate muscles you never thought you had!
Launching The New Spinal Centre Website
New Website, New Clinic and New Staff
If you have been keeping an eye on proceedings you will notice we have been a little quite online lately.
However, things have been very busy behind the scenes working on a range of initiatives within the Practice to provided a higher level of patient care.
RA – A Double Edged Sword
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes progressive pain, inflammation and eventual destruction of the joints.
The hallmark feature of this condition is long term inflammation of joints that is mirrored on the opposite joint. It affects the hands, wrists and feet, though any joint lined by a synovial membrane may be involved.
Early diagnosis is key and by implementing supplementation, changes in lifestyle and the environment, RA’s impact can be lessened.
Congratulations to Dr. Hooper
Chiropractic BioPhysics Certified Practitioner
Many may be aware Dr. Hooper recently attended an intensive training program in Chiropractic at Boise Idaho – America.
The accreditation program was for an advanced form of Chiropractic Care called Chiropractic BioPhysics or ‘CBP’.
Dr. Hooper is now one of only 16 Doctors of Chiropractic in Australia with CBP Certification.
In fact, he is the only Doctor of Chiropractic in Australia to hold a CBP Certification and Masters Degree in Chinese Medicine.
However, at the end of the day, it is all about you as a patient of the practice and providing the best and most scientific, evidence based care possible.
Muscle Strength and Power for Optimum Bone Health
We have all heard how essential calcium and vitamin D are in maintaining bone density especially as we age and conditions such as osteoporosis become more likely to develop.
A university in Victoria has demonstrated that including impact exercise like jumping or skipping alongside should be included in a treatment protocol.
This, alongside proper nutrition and supplementation improves function and reduces the risk of fractures by enhancing muscle strength and power.
