What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic (or Chiro) is a safe and gentle complementary health care system that focuses on the assessment, treatment and prevention of imbalances of the musculoskeletal system. As such it helps relieve muscular, joint and body pains and stiffness, including:
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Migraines
- Shoulder pain
- Jaw pain
- Knee and ankle pain
- Sciatica
- Neck stiffness
- Pinched nerves
- Muscle weakness
- Torticollis
And much more. Call Martina if you have a query about your individual needs.
Our principal Chiropractor here in Neutral Bay works to balance the skeletal system and the muscular system to allow normal and efficient functioning of these systems. By having a freely moving skeletal system, the nervous system will also be able to function freely and optimally. This reduces the potential for muscle tightness, pinched nerves, joint stiffness and inflammation.
By improving the ability of the nervous system to function, a treatment by a Chiropractor can have other follow on benefits and effects. Chiropractic may also help with:
- Low energy
- Poor immunity
- Poor posture

Techniques
At Encompass Health Centre, our Chiropractor uses several techniques that may be utilised, ranging from the traditional adjustments to low force balancing techniques, as treatments are tailored to the individuals needs and within their comfort level.

The techniques used at Encompass include:
- Muscle Testing
