What We Offer
We are constantly seeking to add new and effective services to our clinic that can be of benefit to our patients.
We do this by expanding our own skill sets as well as inviting practitioners with new skills to join our clinic. At the core of our practice though there are the following services that we offer and focus predominantly on.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a natural way of health care which is based on the body's ability to heal itself. Chiropractic is the science of locating problems in the spine, and through a specific adjustment reducing their impact on the nervous system.
When the nervous system is functioning properly, all the cells, tissues and organs in the body are able to resist illness and disease. However, when something is interfering with our nervous system, problems start to develop and we find ourselves in a "state of ill health".
Chiropractic is a system of locating and reducing interferences to our natural state of health. Common interferences to the nervous system often occur between the moving bones of the spinal column. A loss of normal motion or position of these bones can irritate or impair the function of the nervous system, which in turn disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses.
With improved spinal movement, people often report improved organ and system function.
Learn MoreSports Injuries & Rehabilitation
Whether through a sport's injury, overuse or simple compensation, injury management and rehabilitation remain extremely important facets of therapy. We at Hornsby Spine Centre are not only active in different sports, but also have extensive experience in injury management and rehabilitation.
At Hornsby Spine Centre we are also very lucky to be actively involved in providing our services to local sports teams and gyms.
We can offer rehabilitation programs to get you back to where you need to be, and also offer extensive injury prevention programmes.
Learn MoreSpinal Care
Spinal/ wellness care focuses on all the various aspects of one's daily life that may contribute or lead to the different stressors creating 'disease' states in the body.
By modifying these different facets of one's daily life, such as diet; exercise; water intake; movement and structural support, we work at getting your body to function at the best possible level it can.
Health is therefore viewed not only as a state free of injury, but also a state of vibrant wellbeing and life enjoyment. This is highlighted in Australian Aboriginal culture, who view health as: "Health does not just mean the physical well-being of the individual but refers to the social, emotional, spiritual and cultural well-being of the whole community."
Learn MoreRemedial Massage
Remedial Massage is an effective tool in the rehabilitation of all soft tissue dysfunction and aches and strains caused by everyday activities such as house work, gardening, walking and sitting at a computer for long periods of time.
Remedial massage helps to relieve tensions, poor postures, and muscular aches and pains.
The clinic's Remedial Massage services are an excellent compliment to the Chiropractic services provided. Ask our friendly staff if we have any combined massage and chiropractic package deals available.
Learn MoreWorkplace Health
The working environment is essentially the place that as adults we spend most of our time throughout the week, as students this would be the equivalent of the lecture rooms.
While we are busy at work or school, our concentration and focus on the task at hand can sometimes put us at risk of a wide variety of injuries and problems ranging from repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), incorrect lifting techniques, poor postural habits and many others.
By assessing work tasks from a biomechanical perspective, we can determine if any risks are involved in completing the task effectively and suggest efficient alternatives or additions if any risks are present.
At Hornsby Spine Centre, we have years of international experience in helping businesses identify and solve problems in both commercial and industrial settings.
Learn MoreWorkplace injury Management
When injuries are sustained in a workplace environment or are part of an insurance claim, certain protocols need to be followed to conform to the requirements of the insurance companies so that payment for your care can be facilitated.
This may include, but not be limited to, report writing, care plans and consistent case updates with measurable outcomes as well as interacting with any other healthcare practitioners involved in the case.
Not only do we at Hornsby Spine Centre have experience in doing this, but we are also WorkCover NSW accredited.
