How does NSA Chiropractic differ from conventional chiropractic/osteopathy? There is much diversity within the chiropractic and osteopathic approach to pain, health and wellbeing. Techniques can be classified in different ways, one classification is structural or tonal. Structural techniques involve a thrust or manipulation that results in a popping sound from the joints of the spine. These thrust aim to remove restriction in the spine. NSA is a tonal technique which is a low force technique involving gentle specific touches to the low back and neck. These contacts enable the brain to observe where restrictions in the spine exist and learn to release these restrictions without the need to manipulate the area. This is a modern, innovative approach to reducing spinal restriction, one that is gathering increasing support and interest. Many people prefer this approach as it is totally painless and safe (as the touches are so gentle further irritation to the spine is impossible) and they find it easy to accept the adjustment and relax whilst it is being given. So is NSA Chiropractic safe? The pressure used to give an adjustment is no more than you could comfortably place on a closed eyelid. It can be used in newborn babies and the very elderly even if they have very brittle osteoporotic bones. There is no evidence to suggest it carries any risk to health or function. So I have a really acute back injury, how can something so gentle help? Amazing isn't it. We are brought up to believe that lots of pain needs a dramatic intervention, but actually experience shows us over and over that often a gentle subtle approach can yield rapid, effective results. The majority of our patients report changes after the first session, its often the very chronic complaints that can take a bit longer to respond. How long do I have to come for? That depends on what your goals are from care. Some people see us for symptomatic relief from an short term injury, others are looking for life changing care for chronic pain or dis-ease states. Others already feel good and want to feel better or maintain a state of wellbeing. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific needs and can be updated at any point if your needs change. So I have to come for the rest of my life? That depends on the amount of stress in your life. Stress can be physical (birth trauma, injuries, accidents, poor posture), toxic (poor diet, processed food, alcohol, smoking, chemical exposure) or mental/emotional (stress at work/home, death of a loved one, life pressures). Depending on your ability to adapt to your environment will help you decide what care you need. Some people come in when they have symptoms, others adopt a periodic maintenance approach and some people feel so much better with regular care that they choose a more frequent schedule. The choice is yours. Can pregnant women have care? Absolutely. Many changes occur during pregnancy and NSA helps the body to adapt to these changes, improving the internal environment for the developing foetus and the experience of pregnancy for the mother. Our goal is a natural, straight forward birth and the care plan will be tailored to do everything to ensure this happens. Rachael is also Webster Certified, a technique for the reduction of intra-uterine contrainst that can be used in Breech Presentations. And what about children? Imagine a world where you grew up and could adapt and process all the challenges that life throws at you with ease and excitement. A flexible, healthy nervous system can help a child fulfil their potential and get the most from school and life experiences. We recommend regular check ups for all children under our care so that they can get the most from life and not develop many of the chronic complaints we see in society nowadays. And kids respond really well to NSA and enjoy their visits. It only takes a few minutes to check and adjust a child and it can be life changing. |
