Alignments

One specialty technique in this office is the procedure we call an 'alignment'. 

The checking procedure for this technique is to observe the difference in the body from left and right sides.  This can be done using the scale test, muscle strength test, tenderness, posture test - eyes closed standing, muscle tone etc.  These tests demonstrate possible neurological imbalance in the body that may be coming from the brain's reaction to overload (e.g. from stress). 

An alignment is a gentle yet powerful lift procedure and is used to help reset or re-establish nerve output from the brain, thus assisting to balance the entire body.

If you’ve been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let us know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

Dr Jeff Asks some important questions of interest to Hobart residents - Chiropractor Hobart Dr Jeff Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Hobart parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
