PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Psychologists are experts in human behaviour, having studied the brain, memory, learning, human development and the processes determining how people think, feel, behave and react. Psychologists apply their expertise using reliable and scientifically supported methods. Psychological treatments are widely used to assist individuals and families and can also help groups and organisations.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system. Altered shape of the spine or misalignments in your joints can lead to poor nerve function, or poor healing. By correcting any misalignments with gentle manipulations, chiropractic can take the stress and strain off the nervous system and realign the body as it was meant to be.
Symptoms commonly treated with chiropractic include headaches, pain, swelling, dizziness, chemical changes in the body, prolonged mental or emotional changes & repetitive physical straining.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is credited as one of the oldest systems of medicine from around the world. It is based in correcting the imbalances or blockages in the flow of qi, or energy. By placing fine, sterile needles in specific parts of the body, the disrupted flow is balanced.
Common conditions acupuncture is used to treat include –
- musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal issues, stress, hormonal, reproductive and gynaecological problems;
- chronic headaches, migraines, trigeminal neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, and sequelae of stroke;
- sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, neck and shoulder pain, lower back pain, and osteoarthritis;
- bronchitis, rhinitis, common colds; IBS, gastritis;
- thyroid problems – hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism;
