Chiropractic Services in Canberra – Conditions We Treat
Introduction At Motion Wellness Canberra, our chiropractic care focuses on helping patients recover from spinal and musculoskeletal conditions that affect mobility, posture, and overall wellbeing. Using gentle adjustments, postural guidance, and evidence-based techniques, we aim to relieve pain, restore alignment, and improve long-term function.
Common Chiropractic Conditions We Treat
Lower Back Pain & Sciatica Lower back pain is one of the most common complaints we see. Sciatica, a nerve-related condition causing pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg, can significantly impact daily life. Chiropractic adjustments can relieve pressure on nerves and restore spinal alignment.
Neck & Shoulder Tension Chronic neck and shoulder stiffness can result from poor posture, stress, or repetitive tasks. Targeted chiropractic care helps release tension, improve flexibility, and reduce discomfort.
Headaches & Migraines Many headaches originate from spinal misalignments or muscular tension. By correcting posture and addressing joint restrictions, chiropractic treatment can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.
TMJ (Jaw Pain) Temporomandibular joint dysfunction often causes jaw pain, clicking, or headaches. Our chiropractors assess jaw alignment, posture, and muscle tension to provide relief.
Tech Neck & Postural Strain Extended use of computers and mobile devices can cause postural strain, leading to neck, shoulder, and upper back pain. Chiropractic care addresses these issues with adjustments, ergonomic advice, and corrective exercises.
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) RSI is common in office workers, athletes, and those performing repetitive motions. Chiropractic treatment helps reduce strain, restore function, and prevent further injury.
Pregnancy-Related Discomfort Expecting mothers often experience back, hip, and pelvic discomfort. Gentle, safe chiropractic care can ease pain, improve posture, and support overall wellbeing during pregnancy.
