Our Cairns chiropractic posture treatment is gentle and non-invasive. We first determine where joint dysfunction is contributing to less-than-ideal posture. For example, if the pelvic and sacral joints are not aligned, this can alter the natural curves (lordosis) in the low back and neck and often causes the head to tip forward. Neck pain may then be related to low-back dysfunction and vice versa. A misaligned, dysfunctional joint (a subluxation complex in chiropractic terms) anywhere in the body can affect the whole system. When providing our Chiropractor Cairns posture treatment, we also give practical advice on ways to make active changes in your daily life to improve posture and help reduce muscular aches and pains. Our care is comprehensive and includes assessment, appropriate testing and the delivery of specific chiropractic care for you.
Knowledge is power. Our chiropractors provide information, guidance and referrals when required, to support and empower you to optimise your body’s healing ability. You are only as strong as your weakest link. This means you might be great at exercising, but if you have a poor diet, your healing potential is compromised. Likewise, if you have an excellent diet but you are highly stressed, your healing potential will again be reduced. If you lead a sedentary lifestyle without adequate movement, your muscles and ligaments do not hold up your structure as they should. At Stratford Chiropractic we tailor our Chiropractor Cairns posture treatment to your individual needs, helping kids, teens and adults to be their best.

Several researchers have found that chiropractic care improves spinal function. This is significant, as spinal dysfunction is known to result in reduced postural control (Haavik*). When we look at a patient’s spine from the side, it should be like an ‘s’ shape. A loss of our natural lordotic curves in the low back and neck can arise from a whip lash injury or sitting with head looking down for hours on end. This results in the spine being less able to react well to even little stresses and strains, like it would if it had its natural curves like a spring. An increase in our natural curves also results in abnormal biomechanics that can predispose to posture strain and pain. A scoliosis is lateral deviation in the spine. As Chiropractors we are very well placed to assess for scoliosis and depending on the cause manage or co-manage your care.

Our Cairns chiropractic posture treatment is tailored to your individual needs. It begins with a thorough assessment, including postural analysis from the back and side, range-of-motion checks, and palpation to feel for joint inflammation and specific motion restrictions. Appropriate nerve flow is then supported through specific chiropractic adjustments. See our Services page for more detail on the techniques we use. Many of our Chiropractor Cairns posture treatment patients report feeling “lighter and brighter” after an adjustment. Dr Karen and Dr Kim are experienced in assisting with posture-related problems across all ages, from school-aged children and desk-based workers to active adults and older patients.
