Why Unwind Health Could Be The Solution To Your Aches, Pains And Niggles
They’ve *cracked* the code to holistic treatments
Unwind Health, Miranda
Is your back causing you grief? Do you have a niggle in your neck that just won’t quit? We’ve all been there - and for some, the pain can be near-debilitating. Instead of taking the “just put up with it” approach, instead, get yourself booked in with the team at Unwind Health and explore your options.
After more than 10 years of operation, and many more years of experience between their team members, chiropractic and naturopathic clinic, Unwind Health have solved their fair share of physical and emotional woes.
Chiropractors may have cracked the code to solving musculoskeletal issues, but there’s a lot more to it than just the sound. The professionals at Unwind Health make it their business to thoroughly understand their clients, to formulate a holistic approach that works as more than just a band aid solution.
“We look at a patient’s history and discuss their goals. We’ll chat to them about what they want to do in the future that they may think is inhibited right now. We are trying to create their best life, really,” says director Dr Ian Edwards. “In our treatment, we take a lot of things into account. We look at how the brain, nervous system, joints and muscles function.”
Although Ian says 99% of their patients will come to them after an injury, the idea is more so that you should seek chiropractic care as a preventative measure. Who knew? “We identify risks through a thorough examination, including of a patient’s history. We focus on people identifying their bodily imbalances - and that goes a long way to preventing recurrence of injuries,” says Unwind Health chiropractic, Dr Garret Cummins.
Also contrary to popular belief, the sound we hear in chiropractic treatment has less to do with ‘breaking’ or ‘cracking’ bones, and more to do with joint realignment, says Ian. It’s a common misconception that prevents people from exploring it as a viable option. “I'd rather people understand that the adjustment is about correcting a joint position or taking stress out of a joint. The cracking sound is just incidental,” he explains. “Anything that we do with the patient, we talk them through so that they understand what's going to happen.”
“It doesn't always have to be what you see on TikTok or Instagram!” adds Garret.
And before you cry, “I can do that!”, and attempt to crack your own back or neck, heed Ian’s warning: “Usually, if you're cracking your own back or neck, you're cracking a joint that's already moving too much. So you're actually making the problem worse.” Some things are just better left to the professionals, right?
