THRIVE CHIROPRACTIC - A BETTER FUTURE



NEW LONGER HOURS - See Contact page for details

What does good health mean to you? How would being pain free change how you live your life. What are you losing out on because you are in pain or are in poor health? What might you miss in the future? These are the most important questions you must answer before finding the solution to your problem. Valuing the outcome of any activity is essential. If you do not value the benefits of the treatment it may not work for you as well. At Thrive we know that chiropractic can benefit you in many ways. By understanding your own motivation to seek chiropractic care, you will achieve far more than you originally thought.

Good health, in fact OPTIMAL health is attainable. Recognising how valuable that is dramatically improves your quality of life. If you simply want to get started with us, click here to get information on our initial consultation and examination

At Thrive Chiropractic we pride ourselves on providing lifestyle solutions to your problem, and not just treating your symptoms (which we do very well). Our role is as much a coach for healthy living, as it is a provider of spinal health. Quite simply, we want you to thrive. 

Most of our patients seek our care for simple reasons - back pain, neck pain, headaches. Most also know that taking medication just doesn’t work (and let's not get started on surgery). 

Isolating the cause of your symptoms and resolving them as quickly as possible is goal number one. While we're sure you want the symptoms to go immediately it's important to remember that healing is a process which takes time.
- the acute inflammatory stage lasts up to 72 hours
- the repair stage with random scar tissue formation takes 72 hours to 6 weeks, &
- remodeling of the scar tissue for optimum strength takes from 3 weeks to 12 months depending on the type and severity of problem

A simple rule exists in diagnosing problems - common things occur commonly. 90% of all back problems fall into a category known as FUNCTIONAL disorders. This means that with spinal pain the INITIAL focus should be on improving the way in which your joints move.This is what chiropractic is all about - we are the specialists. The other 10% of back problems encompass disc problems, pinched nerves, arthritic pain or something complex, and so are not all that common. Even if you do have something more complex, chiropractic is very well placed to help manage your problem.

HOW DOES CHIROPRACTIC WORK?

Put simply, we help the body by relieving pressure off nerves so that your symptoms reduce, and your body heals.

Chiropractic adjustments restore normal joint function by breaking up scar tissue adhesions, and stimulating inactive nerves or creating new nerve pathways to the affected joint. Seldom is a back problem something that has just happened, it's usually a build up of postural stress over time. So these processes require substantial repetition though all the stages of healing (listed above) if long term correction is to take place. The challenge is that your symptoms will likely disappear long before the healing has finished, so understanding the principles of healing will improve your results.

OUR PASSION TO HELP YOU

Thrive Chiropractic is a labour of love. We opened as The Chiropractic Workshop in 2003, and changed to Thrive Chiropractic in November 2006. Our new name better reflects our mission. We are absolutely committed to finding the real cause of your aches and pains, providing the best care we can to relieve them as quickly as possible. If we don’t think we can help you we will tell you.

Since 1895 chiropractic has specialised in identifying spinal mechanical problems. It is what we do. No other profession is trained so specifically to do so, in fact many other health professionals almost pretend there is no such thing. Yet millions of chiropractic patients around the world would happily disagree. When faced with the choice, doesn’t it make sense to seek treatment from someone who is trained specifically to find the cause of the problem? Drugs do not fix spinal pain, and more and more of them are being found to cause serious side effects; headaches after all are not caused by a lack of aspirin in the brain. The old message about back pain was to wait and let it pass, but there is no such thing as natural progression of back pain; the research says that if a back problem is left alone, while the pain may eventually subside, the problem will return again and again.  Unfortunately too many people wait too long for treatment and this just makes resolving things that much more difficult.
