Chiropractic is a natural vitalistic approach to health that deals primarily with the relationship between your spine and your nerve system. Every message to your body travels via your nerve system (brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves) this important system is protected by your spine.
Day to day stressors in our environment such as physical stress, chemical stress and emotional stress can cause interruption to the normal communication between our spine and nerve system. These imbalances prevent the clear flow of information along the nerves from our brain to our body.
As chiropractors, we are trained to specifically analyse and adjust your spine where required to clear these imbalances and allow your spine and nerve system to function at its best.
A healthy relationship between the spine and nerve system can help anyone at any time of their life, regardless of age, condition or symptoms.
If you’ve never visited us at the Chiro Lounge, you might be wondering what to expect when you come for an appointment. Rest assured you are literally in good hands, this is what we’ll do:
CHAT: When we meet we will sit down and discuss your health goals.
Your chiropractor will perform a thorough physical assessment and necessary tests.
Looking at your posture, muscle strength, neurology, biomechanics and your environmental stressors. All of this gives us a clear picture of how well your nervous system is adapting to your lifestyle.
We will refer for x-rays if required.
PLAN: Your chiropractor will go through the results of your examination and then the fun part is designing how you would love your life to be and what level of commitment you will put in to achieving that.
Together we will set a plan and begin the journey to abundant health.
ADJUST: Chiropractic adjustments will allow your nervous system to transform from its current state to a new way of functioning.
Each adjustment will unlock stress and dysfunction allowing your body to go about healing itself - the body loves to be in balance and work in harmony - it was designed to be that way.

During your pregnancy, there will be many physiological and hormonal changes as your body prepares for the birth of your baby. Chiropractic can help you better manage the changes as your pregnancy progresses.
Your centre of gravity moves - increasing the lumbar curve and causing extra strain through the lumbar spinal joints and pelvis.
Your shoulders can round forward from increased breast size, placing strain on your mid back and rib cage, which can affect your breathing and digestion
Your neck can fall forward placing tension on the base of your skull and along your spinal cord.
As your baby grows, they can push up into your ribs, placing pressure on your bladder or pubic bone and get themselves stuck in an unideal fetal position.
Pelvic misalignment can alter the opening and expansion of the pelvis, which is needed for birthing.
Optimal fetal positioning is extremely important to achieve the most effective birth outcome and reduce the cranial stress on the body while in utero. Websters Technique is used to align the pelvis and uterine ligaments to encourage this ideal positioning.
The Chiro Lounge is so passionate about adjusting babies and children as soon after birth as possible. It really does set up them up for the best start to heal and adapt to life outside the womb. With over 10 years of experience, Dr Christy and Dr Teri are highly skilled in pediatric adjusting.
The birth journey, whilst different for all, can be stressful on the newborn baby, so many parents have their newborns checked right away. We make gentle adjustments and corrections to remove any interference that could be contributing to your babies ability to heal itself.
We can see signs of imbalance by:
Breast latching issues
Preferring one breast over the other
Preferring to turn their head one way
Digestive tension and pain with gas
Difficulty winding
Flattening of the back of the head – plagiocephaly
Asymmetry of the face – one eye opening more than the other
Constant crying and irritability
It is important to understand that chiropractic is not a treatment for disease. It reduces nerve stress, a serious and often painless condition most children (and adults) have in their bodies. This stress left uncorrected can weaken the organ function, lower resistance, reduce healing potential and set up a body where sickness and dysfunction can develop.
As the children grow and develop there are primitive reflexes and milestones that need to occur at certain times of life. These show us that the brain is working in harmony and the connections are being formed.
Nerve and spinal interference can interfere with these developmental milestones. At The Chiro Lounge we track your child’s development to ensure these pathways are firing correctly. If not, we can support your baby with brain exercises to make sure these milestones integrate.
Signs of imbalance are:
Inability to have head control in a pull to sit position or when having tummy time
Not rolling
Commando crawling for a long period of time
Not crawling on all fours
Bum shuffling or crawling with one leg up.
Toe walking
Head tilt
Re occurring ear infections and immune challenges.
There has been a large movement towards a wellness lifestyle, with families discovering the value of all member of their family be strong and healthy, being able to live the life they love.
Imagine if your family had a proactive wellness plan that helps you all stay well and productive.
Many of our families love this idea – proactive health care rather than reactive. Setting up daily rituals to keep them thriving. Chiropractic care is a major part of their wellness plan.
Imagine if you never brushed your teeth, never drank water, ate fresh fruit and vegetables, or took your garbage bin out, or never washed your body- the effects of this would soon show with drastic effects.
We see these effects with family members when they first join us – years of tension and stress in their bodies, history of falls and accidents that were never corrected. Years of unideal posture. Years of over use of medications with no improvement in the symptom or health of the person.
If this is a goal for your family – please reach out, we would love to share with you how you can turn around any health situation and rebuild a vibrant thriving family.
