CHIROPRACTIC CARE
LOOKING AFTER YOUR
Health
What controls your body? At times it may feel like it’s work or kids, however, we hope that you answered your brain! Your brain, which is part of your central nervous system, controls every muscle, organ and cell in your body. In fact it is responsible for almost everything!
That’s why as chiropractors we are obsessed with your spine. Your spine houses your central nervous system and the function of your spine directly affects your brain.
Like any relationship in life, your brain and body need a high level of communication to stay well. The benefits from chiropractic care that you may experience are practically endless!
Our South Fremantle chiropractors are highly skilled, thorough and deliver care based upon the latest scientific research. By looking at your health challenges from a different perspective, many of our clients achieve results that exceed their expectations.
Our chiropractors are well-versed in many effective techniques, including Sacro Occipital Technique® (SOT®), Neuro-emotional Technique, Thompson, Activator Methods®, Sympathetic Dominance protocol and Cranio-Sacral Therapy. We’ll fully explain the methods we believe are most appropriate for your case and that you feel comfortable with.
OUR
TECHNIQUES
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT) is a comprehensive, gentle and innovative chiropractic technique for the whole body. It helps in stabilising and normalising the function of the pelvis, spine, and entire nervous system. SOT is built around the relationship between three crucial parts of the body: the nervous system, the tailbone (Sacrum), and the base of the skull (the Occiput). SOT chiropractors understand the mechanics and neurology of the body in an organised and practical way.
This chiropractic technique is highly effective in addressing both chronic and acute issues, especially of the spine. Such as low back and neck pain and dysfunctions in the . This chiropractic treatment is quite versatile and can be safely applied to everyone, no matter what the age.
Are you constantly dealing with unresolved stressful situations? The subconscious mind is where we hold memories, particularly traumatic and emotional life experiences. These memories somehow form how we behave in different events, but mostly towards stress. Response to stress is not necessarily wrong, but it can end up damaging if left unmanaged.
Open Space Healing chiropractors offer Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), a treatment backed by research for those who require help, guidance, and release from traumas. The NET treatment is effective for clearing stress and eliminating trauma blockages so that you can make better decisions. No more negative attachments and emotional responses to experiences – it’s a huge step to rebuilding positive reactions in life.
Open Space Healing chiropractors are well-versed in the Thompson Technique, a well-known treatment for addressing and correcting misalignments of the spine. Dr J. Clay Thompson unveiled the very first application of his namesake manoeuvre over 50 years ago.
Fast forward to this day, the chiropractic community has revolutionised the original elements of the technique. The new and improved method still encompasses the initial concept, utilising a segmented drop table. Clients feel minimal force applied to problem areas. The Thompson technique has clients lying face down at an angle, and the table gently “dropping,” which helps preserve inequality in leg length. This positioning feels more natural, encouraging effective adjustments.
For this chiropractic technique, we use Activator adjusting instruments to help treat your back and neck pain. If you have extremity complaints, Activator Methods can be an alternative treatment to manipulation through high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust.
The Activator Method uses a mechanical instrument that allows our chiropractors to give a quick but gentle impulse at certain points. Many of our clients prefer this technique because it offers high-speed, and at the same time, the force is controlled. The handheld Activator instrument is so quick, preventing any tense response of the muscles, so there is little to no resistance to the treatment.
Do you often complain about tight neck muscles and shoulders, regular headaches, or tiredness that does not go away even after sleeping? You probably also have brittle nails, clumps of falling hair, or dry skin and experience digestive issues that sometimes come with hormonal problems. A lot of these problems can be attributed to a wound up nerve system or Sympathetic Dominance.
The Sympathetic Dominance (SD) Protocol looks at the body as a whole to get a clearer picture of the overall health. It’s designed to get to the root cause of your health issues, which is often what we all dread: “chronic stress.”
Like chiropractic treatments, Cranio-Sacral therapy is a healing technique with a hands-on approach. Your therapist will mobilise your Cranio-Sacral system, gently releasing it from stressors that cause negative impacts to the body and your health.
The treatment includes the cranium (your head’s soft tissue), sacral area (the entire spine), and your pelvis. Your Open Healing Space therapist will focus on creating a vital rhythm of your body by moving the spinal fluid around and within your central nervous system.
With this therapy, there’s less stress, which helps improve the quality of your sleep, boosts your energy, and enhances your general well-being.
