What We Treat
At Dr Jenny Family Chiropractor we can treat a wide range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal system (i.e. your bones, muscles, joints, and surrounding tissues), including:
Back Pain
From lower and upper back pain, to neck pain, chiropractors use a variety of techniques to help reduce pain and improve long-term mobility and range of motion.
Joint Pain
Chiropractors use gentle techniques to help reduce inflammation, mobilise affected joints, and alleviate joint pain and stiffness, such as that caused by injury, arthritis and other causes of joint pain.
Headaches
Chiropractic care can be effective in the treatment of tension headaches, migraines and other types of headaches. We can help alleviate headaches by reducing tension in the neck and shoulders, improving spinal alignment, and providing advice on posture and ergonomics.
Sports Injuries
Chiropractors are trained in the treatment of sports injuries, such as sprains, strains and repetitive motion injuries. They use a variety of techniques to help reduce pain and inflammation, improve range of motion and promote healing.
Work Related Injuries
Chiropractic care can help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by work-related injuries, such as repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome and back injuries caused by lifting heavy objects.
Vehicle Accidents
The impact of an accident can cause misalignments in the spine and neck, which can lead to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine, reduce pain and improve overall physical function.
Slip-and-fall injuries
Falls can cause a variety of injuries, including back, neck and joint pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by such injuries.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a common injury that occurs when the head is suddenly jolted forward and then back. This can cause misalignments in the spine and neck, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and neck, and reduce pain.
Pregnancy-related pain
Chiropractic care can be beneficial for pregnant women who are experiencing back pain, hip pain or other discomforts. Chiropractors can use gentle techniques to alleviate pain and help ensure a more comfortable pregnancy.
Birth Trauma*
During the birthing process, an infant's spine and neck can become misaligned, leading to discomfort and pain. Chiropractors can perform gentle adjustments on infants to realign their spine and neck, which may help alleviate any discomfort.
Colic*
While the exact cause of colic is not known, some theories suggest that it may be related to gastrointestinal issues or nervous system dysfunction. Chiropractors can use gentle techniques to adjust the spine and nervous system of an infant, which may help regulate their digestive system and improve their overall health and well-being.
*Infant Treatments
*It is important to note that chiropractic care for infants is very different from the adjustments performed on adults. Chiropractors who work with infants use very gentle, specialised techniques that are safe and effective for young children. Before seeking chiropractic care for your infant, it is recommended to consult with your paediatrician to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your child's specific needs.

Other reasons to see a chiropractor:
In addition to the most common reasons for seeking chiropractic care, there are several others, including:
Improved athletic performance
Chiropractic care can help improve flexibility, balance, and range of motion.
Improved sleep
Chiropractic adjustments may help improve sleep quality by reducing pain and discomfort, promoting relaxation and improving overall physical function.
Improved immune function
The nervous system plays a critical role in immune function, and chiropractic care can help improve nervous system function, leading to better immune function and overall health.
Improved digestion
Chiropractic adjustments may help regulate the nervous system that controls the digestive system, leading to improved digestion and better gut health.
Better posture
Poor posture can lead to pain and discomfort in the back, neck and shoulders. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine, improve posture and alleviate pain.
Stress relief
Stress can cause tension in the muscles and spine, leading to pain and discomfort. Chiropractic adjustments can help realign the spine and reduce tension in the muscles, which may alleviate some of the symptoms of stress.
Sciatica
Sciatica is characterised by pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs. Chiropractic care can help realign the spine, alleviate muscle tension and reduce pressure on the sciatic nerve.
It is important to note that chiropractic care is not a substitute for medical care, and you should always consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment or therapy.
