The word ‘Subluxation’ is a widely used term in Chiropractic. Subluxation refers to a misalignment of vertebra and/or any joint. This misalignment impacts the joints function, mobility and thus can cause pain. Although contact between joint surfaces remains intact muscle attachments and nerve supply are commonly affected. Chiropractors aim to improve the biomechanics and neurology of the area affected by subluxation, which will eventually have a positive outcome in reducing pain and improving your wellbeing.

Often we hear patients in the clinic say they thought chiropractors only deal with spinal related issues. Chiropractors treat people with a variety of conditions from plantafascitis of the foot to mensical injuries of the knee to migraines and tennis elbow. The chiropractor has 5 years of training in the treatment of areas outside the spine. At the clinic in haberfield we see a diversity of issues. Many patients that present to the clinic have knee, elbow and wrist issues. The chiropractor will address any muscular, tendon and ligamentous issues as well as joint related problems that may be evident

When the joint is stretched, a gas is released from the fluid that surrounds the joint, this makes a popping/ cracking noise. If you are one of the few people that don’t like this noise other treatment can be administered that will be as effective.

Most health funds give benefit to chiropractic treatment. Every persons insurance plan is slightly different, so for accurate details on reimbursement it is best to call your specific insurance company that will provide you the details. If you are covered you can claim on the spot with hicaps at the chiropractic clinic.
