What is Chiropractic?

Simply put the human body is incredible, just consider how many amazing functions and activities your body takes care of automatically every second that you're alive. The master controller for everything that happens in the body whether consciously or subconsciously is the human brain, spinal cord and nerves.

At Greensborough Family Chiropractic our Chiropractors use Chiropractic and other post graduate training such as Paediatrics, Webster Technique, sports rehab training and Chiro Neuro Rehab techniques to assist our patients. Please note there are no specialities in chiropractic in Australia.

For information call the office or use the contact us page with your questions.

Your body is a self-regulating, self-healing organism. These important functions are controlled by the brain, spinal cord, and all the nerves of the body.

The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots. If the nervous system is impaired, it may cause malfunction of the tissue and organs of the body. Chiropractic doctors call this the Vertebral Subluxation Complex. Vertebral, meaning the bones of the spine. Subluxation, meaning the less than a total dislocation, and Complex, meaning consisting of more than one part.

Chiropractic is the science of locating offending spinal structures, the art of reducing their impact to the nervous system, and a philosophy of natural health care based on a belief of the bodies inherent ability to heal itself.

=====================================================================================

At Greensborough Family Chiropractic our Chiropractors have done post graduate study in addition to their 5 years at university studying Chiropractic.

Special Interest Post Graduate Qualifications and Study by GFC Chiropractors:

1.     Webster Certification - The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic sacral analysis and diversified adjustment. It is a useful technique in the chiropractic care of pregnant woman. The goal of the adjustment is to reduce the effects of sacral subluxation / SI joint dysfunction. This diversified adjustment and work on muscles and ligaments may facilitate biomechanical function in the pelvis. If you would like more information on Webster technique you could check icpa4kids.com (USA).
