At Chiropractic Health Centre, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic wellness care to our patients. Below is a sampling of the different chiropractic services we offer in our Mittagong office.

Chiropractic Care

We provide advanced spinal correction utilizing "state of the art" chiropractic techniques. Never in the history of chiropractic have we been able to provide the level of help and expertise that now exists. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. As Chiropractors, Marti Harris has years of training and experience in spinal adjustment.

Torque Release Technique (TRT)

TRT is a gentle chiropractic technique which normalises the tone of the nervous system.  This means that it concentrates on correcting problems in the communication of the nervous system, either by increasing or decreasing the function  of the nerves, spinal cord and brain.  Like all chiropractic techniques, TRT is based upon the correction of subluxations which allows the nervous system to function free of interference.  TRT concentrates on the areas of dural attachments in the spine where the outter coverings of the spinal cord and brain attaches to the spinal vertebrae.  This occurs in the upper neck area and in the sacrum and coccyx.  Very gentle corrections are made in this area using an instrutment known as an integrator.

Sacro-Occipital Technique

Sacro-Occipital Technique (S.O.T) is a comprehensive and advanced concept of chiropractic pioneered and developed through study, research and clinical application by Dr. M. B. DeJarnette.  Dr DeJarnette clinically found that human structure distortation falls into three basic groups.  He labelled these groups as Categories 1, 2 and 3.  SOT gets its name because it recognises - and uses - the relationship between the Sacrum (base of the spine) and the Occiput (base of the skull) as the key to proper body function.

Both Marti and Clara are trained to detect the different categories (1,2,3) which are a compensation of the body to stress.  These stressors may be physical, chemical or emotional.  The compensations - or subluxations - produced interference with the central nervous system and lead to a compromise in the full expression of your health potential.  Resulting distortion of the spinal and cranial system and imbalance in the flow of cerebro-spinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord can lead to increased toxicity, lack of nutrition and loss of nerve function around the whole body.

Neuro Emotinal  Technique (NET)

Is a safe, effective and natural way to resolve long standing health problems that have an emotional  component .While emotions are perfectly normal, they sometimes can negatively impact our health. At times of stress trauma, or disease our bodys ability to "let go" of these emotions are hindered and years later can cause chronic physical and emotional problems such as recurrent back problems ,tight muscle spasms, self sabotage behaviours and phobias to name a few. Most people have experienced how an emotion can "physically' affect the body eg butterflys in the stomach , feeling a lump in your throat. These are all responses that your body has been programmed to react to through your past experiences using your "limbic brain " . Many of these can hold you back in life -NET helps the body and the body reconnect and then let go. NET aims to release these negative responses from the body to bring harmony and balance back to the body . NET is a methodology of finding and removing vertebral subluxations associated with negative emotions which are preventing abnormal emotional responses from returning to their normal physiology.  www.netmindbody.com

Network Spinal Analysis

Network Spinal Analysis is an evidenced based approach to wellness and body awareness.  Gentle precise touch to the spine cues the brain to create new wellness promoting strategies.  Two unique healing waves develop with this work.  They are associated with spontaneous release of spinal and life tensions, and the use of existing tension as fuel for spinal re-organisation and enhanced wellness.  Chiropractors combine their clinical assessments of spinal refinements with patient's self assessments of wellness and life changes.  Greater self-awareness and conscious awakening of the relationships between the body, mind emotion and expression of the human spirit are realised through this popular healing work.  NSA is exclusively practiced by chiropractors in relationship to the identification and self regulation of spinal tension and subluxation patterns.  www.donaldepstein.com

Webster Technique

Sacral misalignment causes the tightening and torsion of specific pelvic muslces and ligaments.  It is these tense muscles and ligaments and their constraining effect on the uterus which prevents the baby from comfortably assuming the best possible position for birth.  The Webster Technique is defined as a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nerve system and facilitates biomechanical balance in pelvic structures, muscles and ligaments.  This has been shown to reduce the effects of intrauterine constraint, allowing the baby to get into the best possible position for birth. Marti Harris is a Certified Webster Technique Practitioner.  www.icpa4kids.com/about/webstertechnique.htm

Neurolink

Neurolink bases its treatment methods on the neurophysiology principles that the brain governs optimum function of all body systems.  This in essence makes the brain, not the chiropractor, the most knowledgable and qualified to diagnose and correct your complain.    The brain control optimum function, through its neurological circuitry.  It is constantly receiving feedback from every facet of the body and in turn sends back "fine tuning" messages, many times per second.  However, from time to time, circuits break down - very similar to a fuse blowing in your house.  Power is lost to that circuit, reducing function and the brain is no longer in communication with the area of function.

Neurolink involves a prioritised set of treatment protocols that evaluate the neurological circuitary and the facets of body function they represent.  This system, in simple terms could be thought of like a list of "checks" similar to one a mechanic would use when you put your car in for a service.  These protocols evaluate all the causes that may have translated themselves to symptoms.  Neurolink can help asthma, ADD, fibromylagia, irritable bowel syndrome, sciatica, and the list goes on and on.

Spinal & Postural Screenings

Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We provide screenings at area malls, community events, health fairs and places of employment. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace

Corrective Exercises

We teach our patients special "blueprint" exercises designed just for them to help strengthen and correct their own unique problem. These exercises can be performed in the comfort of your own home and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. In addition to skeletal misalignment, muscles and connective tissues can be out of place or strained by improper alignment and use. Specific exercises and stretches can help your body stay in balance and in health.

Lifestyle Advice

We often find it helpful to "coach" our patients on certain activities they should avoid or do differently to avoid aggravating their particular health challenge. Our goal is to help every patient achieve a fulfilling and happy lifestyle full of the activities they enjoy most. We recognize that each our patient is a whole person, and help them reach true health and wellness is a collaborate effort between our professionals and our patients.

Nutritional Counseling

We provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to enhance our patient´s return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you our professionals can provide a structured nutritional program based on your individual needs.www.metagenics.com.au
