Total Health Chiropractic Rockhampton

What conditions do we see?

Chiropractic care for spinal injuries is one of the main reasons why people choose to book an appointment with our Rockhampton Chiropractic practice. Spinal injuries can be full-on and debilitating.

People also visit our practice presenting chronic headaches and neck pain. What is the cause? For people who experience persisting pain for longer than 3 months, it can be considered chronic pain. This type of pain can stay the same or get worse in intensity or frequency. Due to the length of time, it can be harder to pinpoint the exact cause. A condition can build up for a long period of time, in many cases longer than first thought. This build-up of pain can come from repetitive physical and emotional stress. Stressors can include:

• Poor posture
• Physical workload
• Long periods of standing or sitting
