Can chiropractic help with bad posture, even if I have no pain?

Pain is often the last thing to come; it is our body's way of saying that it's had enough!

Poor posture, whether you are sedentary or very active in life, overloads the joints, discs, and muscles causing irritation and wear and tear. This eventually manifests itself as pain and weakness.

Chiropractic care has the ability to help in preventative care as well as pain relief. Though postural re-education and strengthening exercises we can improve posture, in turn reducing incorrect loading and movement patterns, preventing pain and early wear and tear.

Sciatica Causes & Treatment

Sun 11 Feb 2024

Sciatica is a commonly used term to refer to that sharp shooting pain down the back of your leg. It is, however, a symptom of an underlying cause, not a diagnosis itself. In this post we will explore some of the different possible causes of this uncomfortable symptom..

Many causes for sciatica are nothing to be concerned about and can be treated and generally ease with time, despite being uncomfortable and often painful. However, in some cases the cause for sciatica can be more sinister and require attention immediately.

If you’re experiencing sciatica in both legs, have a weakness or numbness in both legs that is progressing, have numbness in the saddle area (genitals), bowel and bladder changes, seek medical attention immediately.
