Break Free from Pain and Injuries

Chiropractic care focuses on relieving and correcting musculoskeletal complaints such as back and neck pain.

The most common treatments performed by chiropractors are “chiropractic adjustments.” The purpose of an adjustment is to restore proper joint motion and stability by applying a controlled force to joints that have become restricted in their movement and/or irratated.

Joint pain, back pain, neck pain and other injuries are often caused by injury, improper lifting, repetitive movement stresses or sitting in awkward positions for extended periods of time.

Injured tissue undergoes physical and chemical changes that result in inflammation, pain and diminished function for the sufferer. The adjustment of affected joints restores mobility while alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing damaged tissue to heal.

Your first step in effective pain treatment

Velca chiropractors work with patients to obtain a thorough health history and perform relevant clinical examinations to determine whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate or not.

We consider chiropractic care to be the first step to breaking free from pain and achieving your goals in health and fitness.

It’s our job to help you be free from pain and healthy; we readily refer patients to other health professionals when chiropractic care is not suitable for their condition or when the condition warrants co-management with other members of a health care team.

Frequently Asked Questions …

When do I need to see a chiropractor?

There are many reasons you might be looking for chiropractic care. Mobility issues, deep pains in the body and repetitive injuries can all be corrected, restoring function and ease of movement to the body. These are just a few of the different symptoms you might be experiencing that would lead you to seek relief through chiropractic.

What happens in a chiropractic session?

The aim of chiropractic is to diagnose, adjust and correct issues in the body. A thorough consultation will be held to determine the source of your pain and what can be done before the chiropractor starts the process.

What is an adjustment?

An adjustment is a movement made by the chiropractor to loosen the joint and restore mobility. Adjustments are very precise and intend to allow a full range of motion that may previously have been lost.

What happens when my joint cracks?

A ‘crack’ or ‘pop’ noise is often heard during an adjustment, sometimes causing the client to worry. The noise is simply a gas bubble escaping the joint as it is being corrected.

Is chiropractic the answer for me?

Diagnosis is the first step in any chiropractic care to ensure that it’s right for your symptoms. At Velca, we readily recommend our practice members to other appropriate healthcare professionals if chiropractic treatment isn’t the solution to their pain.

How safe is chiropractic?

Often recognised as one of the safest forms of pain relief and healthcare, chiropractic is drug-free and non-invasive with a fantastic record to back up its reputation.
