Full chiropractic adjustment

People of all ages come to Chiropractic Health and Wellness Clinic to get pain relief and treatment for many types of health issues, including:

• Backache
• Neck pain
• Sciatica

Chiropractic adjustment techniques entail spinal manipulation to correct misalignment or malfunction of vertebrae – the series of small bones forming your backbone.

The basic principle of chiropractic manipulation lies in the connection between spinal health and the body’s central nervous system, which controls every organ and cell in your body.

A key focus of chiropractic manipulative treatment is correcting a misaligned spine to lessen pressure on sensitive nerves.

Many of our patients are seeking spine pain relief, and Dr David Liew is a spine pain specialist in areas such as the treatment of slipped disc and spinal stenosis (the narrowing of spinal canal thereby putting pressure on the spine and nerves).

Common chiropractic adjustment techniques applied

Dr Salman Khan is an expert in spine chiropractic, skilled in many types of chiropractic adjustments, including:

• Direct thrust method (spinal manipulation).
• The gentler technique of spinal mobilisation.
• Chiropractic adjustments to treat damaged joints.
• Myofascial release to relive problems with the layer of membranes that connects muscles.
• Cervical distraction for neck problems.
• Spinal decompression to treat a herniated disc.

Benefits of spine adjustment

As well as problems in the back itself, chiropractic spine alignment can fix issues in other areas of the body and eliminate side effects such as fatigue, joint pain, and inflammation.

As a full body adjustment chiropractor, Dr Salman Khan provides much-needed relief for patients suffering from a range of ailments besides back and neck pain and headaches and migraine, including joint problems such as arthritis, high blood pressure, and asthma.

Further, chiropractic manipulation helps to maintain the equilibrium of your entire body, and this can ease stress, improve posture, lift your mood, boost your immune system, and allow you to sleep better.

What’s more, Dr Salman Khan practises chiropractic body reshaping – an effective alternative to costly cosmetic surgery.

After treatment, our patients typically report benefits such as:

• Less pain.
• Feeling more energised.
• Greater flexibility and range of movement.
• Improved health as a whole.

Chiropractic care for children

Studies in the US have shown that chiropractic is the complementary medicine parents seek most often for their youngsters.

This is because many childhood disorders respond well to chiropractic care for kids – a treatment option increasingly sought by parents who bring their youngsters to our chiropractic centre with ailments including:

• Colic
• Headaches
• Allergies
• Sleep disturbance
• Asthma
• Scoliosis

Your child’s development puts stresses on their body that can result in spinal problems.  Unless the problem is obvious, it can be difficult for parents to tell whether their youngster’s backbone is working properly.

There are, however, some signs that all may not be well with your child’s spine. Irritation of the central nervous system caused by spinal misalignment in a child can result in several disorders, including those listed above, plus:

• Ear infection
• Reflux
• Breastfeeding issues – for babies

Chiropractic treatment for scoliosis and infant torticollis

Chiropractic Care Health Clinic specialises in:

Scoliosis in children

Scoliosis is the irregular curvature of the spine to the side. This can be a congenital problem but most often starts when youngsters are aged 10 to 15. In these cases, the condition can be caused by an infection or muscle spasms.

Signs of scoliosis include protruding ribs and uneven shoulders.

Infant torticollis

Torticollis (twisted neck) can result from a difficult birth or how the baby was positioned in the womb.

Left untreated, infant torticollis (also known as congenital muscular torticollis), can lead to contraction of the spine, misshapen skull bones, and restricted shoulder movement.

Dr Salman Khan has a remarkable 100% success rate in treatment for infant torticollis.

Making adjustments for infants and young children

The chiropractic adjustment techniques utilised by Dr David Liew will be modified in accordance with a child’s spinal condition and their age, weight, and height.

Being an experienced paediatric chiropractor, he would only apply light, fingertip pressure on young children – including babies and infants – to restore full function to spinal joints that have locked up and are interfering with the nervous system.

Chiropractic spinal adjustments can be particularly beneficial for youngsters because their backbone is still developing, so the spine will typically respond to chiropractic treatment far faster than that of an adult.

Our clinic’s paediatric care has been shown to enhance the growth of children. One boy, treated by Dr Salman Khan since 2013, shot up 15 cm (nearly 6 inches) over a 2-year spell.

Parents of our young patients say their children enjoy seeing our paediatric chiropractor and look forward to subsequent regular check-ups to help maintain optimal functionality of their spine and nervous system.

Professional massage therapy

Chiropractic massage therapy provides a holistic remedy for multiple physical and mental health issues and can result in faster recovery because it helps the body to heal itself.

Physical conditions that can be treated with professional massage therapy include backache, headaches, pinched nerves, and joint pain.

Our therapeutic body massage can also ease symptoms of mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, and the eating disorder anorexia nervosa.

The techniques our masseuse use are predominantly:

• Deep tissue massage therapy – manipulation of deep layers of tissue, including supportive tissue of joints and muscles.
• Lymphatic drainage massage therapy – to boost the flow of lymph (part of the immune system) and flush toxins from the body.

Orthotics for feet

Problems with the complex mechanical structures of the feet are one of the most prevalent medical complaints, affecting young and old alike.

One of the most common foot problems is heel pain from plantar fasciitis. Other issues include flat feet, problems with the metatarsal bones in the foot, and bunions.

Foot orthotics is the medical field concerned with devices inserted into footwear to ensure balance and functionality and cushion the foot against impact.

In addition to orthotics for plantar fasciitis, bunion orthotics, arch orthotics (for flat feet) and metatarsal orthotics, our adult and children’s orthotics include orthotics for heel pain, orthotics for under- and over-pronation, and sport orthotics.
