Total Health Chiropractic Rockhampton

What conditions do we see?

People visit our Rockhampton Chiropractic practice for a number of reasons, such as chiropractic care for spinal injuries, chronic headaches and neck pain. If someone has been in pain for more than three months, it is known as chronic pain and can be difficult to diagnose due to the length of time it has been present. Chronic pain can result from prolonged physical stress and emotional stress, such as poor posture, excessive physical workload, or long periods of sitting or standing.

At Total Health Chiropractic, we help people suffering from various acute and chronic conditions, including anterior head carriage, back pain, bulging discs, hip and leg pain, migraines, nerve pain, lumbar facet impingement syndrome, pelvic tilts, poor posture, shoulder and arm pain, sciatica, scoliosis, sporting injuries, vertigo and whiplash.
