Staring With a Detailed Analysis

Our chiropractor, Dr Fico, does a thorough postural analysis during every patient’s initial consultation to determine whether any poor physical habits are leading to misalignments. For example, you might have one chronically tight shoulder you’ve never noticed, or a pelvis that’s higher on one side than the other. We’ll take a look at everything from your head, neck, shoulders, and hips to whether you’re carrying your upper back forward and if you have scoliosis, or a curve in your spine.

Once we have a good understanding of your condition, we’ll explain in detail what we’re seeing and how posture is affecting your functioning. We can show you exactly what your posture looks like using a chart on the wall so you understand the effects of posture, like rounded shoulders that lead to painfully tight muscles in the front.

Our Thorough Approach

Regular chiropractic adjustments are essential to get your body back on track again. Our team at Morley Chiropractic will help improve your alignment and relieve any structural problems we’re seeing, restoring nerves to optimal health and reducing the symptoms you’ve been feeling as a result.

During your appointment, we’ll talk with you about lifestyle changes you can focus on to improve your health. How you walk is just as critical as how you stand and sit. By providing personalised, step-by-step guidance on how to make sustainable changes, we make healthier rhythms doable until you don’t even have to think about them anymore.

Comprehensive Care for Whole-Body Health

In some cases, poor posture may be the result of an underlying condition, like scoliosis or muscle spasms pulling your spine to one side. Dr Fico will start by identifying the root cause of your health problem and figuring out how we may help you achieve long-term health.

For some patients, that includes using a heel lift on one side to help level out your legs and straighten your pelvis. We offer a range of therapies and supportive services, including dry needling, Kinesio Taping®, the Graston Technique, and rehabilitation, and we’ll combine techniques as necessary to get you the results you need.
