Each week, approximately 200,000 Australians rely on the specialized expertise of chiropractors
Some of the different health issues people may have before seeing a Chiropractor range from back pain, headaches, sciatica, pain in their middle back, shoulder pain, rib pain, just to name a few.
So what is a Chiropractor?
According to the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia, Doctors of chiropractic work successfully with all sorts of spinal disorders. In Australia, they are five year university trained, and are government registered and regulated health professionals.
And what is Chiropractic?
The spine is designed to protect the most important vital organ, your nervous system. Misalignments of the spine can affect how well your nervous system can communicate with the rest of your body. By correcting the misalignments (through Chiropractic) it allows the body to heal and repair. Chiropractic treatment can be carried out on clients of all ages. It is a gentle and safe technique that is tailored to suit your needs.
Spine and Nervous System: Why Function Matters.
Your spine does far more than simply hold your body upright. It is one of the largest sources of sensory information to the brain.
Specialised nerve receptors in the joints and muscles of the spine constantly send signals to the brain about movement, posture and load. This information helps the brain coordinate muscle activity, stabilise joints and control balance and movement.
When spinal joints stop moving properly, the quality of this information can change. Research suggests altered spinal input may influence how the brain processes movement and stability through a process known as sensorimotor integration. Brain function research
Chiropractic adjustments are designed to restore normal spinal motion and stimulate the nerve receptors in the joints and surrounding tissues. Studies have shown that spinal manipulation can influence brain processing, motor control and proprioception — the body’s ability to sense movement and position.
At Platinum Chiropractic Erina we focus on improving spinal function so the nervous system can coordinate the body more efficiently. For many people this leads to improvements in pain, movement, energy and resilience to stress.
With over 23 years of experience providing neurologically based chiropractic care, our goal is not only to help people get out of pain but to help their body function at its best.

And the results?
A study in ‘Spine’ on low back pain has shown that compared to those who sought care from medical doctors, chiropractic patients were more likely to be satisfied with their care, and less likely to seek care from another provider for that same episode of pain. Chiropractic care represents the pinnacle of best practice for low back pain and is the drug-free alternative. Chiropractic care of the spine reduces pain, decreases medication, and is extremely cost effective.
