North Sydney Spine and Health
Chiropractors in North Sydney

We are the Spine and Health team, Sydney’s Posture and Pain experts, caring for patients since 2001. We are the largest Posture Centre in Sydney, with clinics in Crows Nest and North Sydney. We have eight Doctors of Chiropractic all trained in Post Graduate Postural Therapy.

POSTUREPosture is related to the positioning of your head. That is the degree of forward head carriage you have and the knock on effect that it has on your spine and surrounding muscles, which are trying to compensate and maintain your body’s centre of gravity.
BACK PAINBack pain effects 8 in 10 people in Western countries at some point in their lives. What most people don’t realize is the key to most back pain cases is poor posture. For every inch of forward head carriage one has the weight of the head doubles. This results in compensation by core muscles (posture muscles) and an increase in the load on the spine. With poor posture our bodies are vulnerable and normal daily movement can result in pain.
NECK PAINNeck pain can be treated with rest, gentle massage and the application of heat packs. If the pain persists the underlying issue is generally related to your posture and the next step should be to visit your chiropractor.
MIGRAINE AND HEADACHEDid you know that migraines are nerve pains? The nerve that causes migraines is called the trigeminal nerve, which is a nerve that supplies your face and structures in your head. This new migraine therapy works by calming down the activity of this trigeminal nerve, and therefore stops your migraines.
BULGING AND SLIPPED DISKThe terms “bulging”, “slipped” and “herniated” discs are all interchangeable. The spine has 24 moveable segments with 23 fibrous discs between them. These discs have a tough fibrous outer surface and a soft, gel-like centre, which enable a form of shock absorption. By standing we are placing weight-bearing forces on our spine and if we have poor posture the load is increased.
ARTHRITISArthritis is a condition that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and inflammation in joints with the most common forms being Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis. There is no cure for sufferers but there are treatments that Spine & Health can use to help relieve the symptoms and slow down the progress of the condition.
