Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care focuses on the assessment and management of musculoskeletal concerns, particularly those involving the spine. Your musculoskeletal system is made up of your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons, and it’s what allows you to move, lift, bend and stay upright throughout the day.
At The IN8 Life, our chiropractors use a range of hands-on techniques, tailored to each person after a detailed history and assessment.
How Musculoskeletal Concerns Can Affect You
Musculoskeletal pain and stiffness can make everyday things harder, like sitting at a desk, driving, lifting the kids’ school bags, exercising or turning your head to check a blind spot. Some concerns come on suddenly after a strain or injury, while others build up gradually from posture, repetitive tasks or long hours in the same position.
Common Signs and Symptoms
- Pain or aching in the back, neck or shoulders
- Stiffness, especially first thing in the morning or after sitting
- Reduced range of movement, like difficulty turning your head or bending
- Muscle tightness or spasm
- Pain that changes with posture or certain movements
How Chiropractic Care Works
- Spinal and joint adjustments or mobilisation, to help restore movement in restricted joints
- Soft tissue techniques, to help ease muscle tension
- Exercises and stretches to do at home
- Advice on posture, lifting and workstation set-up
