💬 What Conditions Can Chiropractors Help With?

Common Reasons People Visit Align and Restore Chiropractic in Pascoe Vale

When people think of chiropractors, they usually think of back pain — and they’re not wrong! But chiropractic care goes far beyond just sore backs. At Align and Restore Chiropractic, we help people manage a wide range of musculoskeletal issues that affect how they move, feel, and function every day.

Our goal is to restore proper spinal movement, reduce tension, and support the nervous system — which has a flow-on effect across the entire body.

So, what conditions can chiropractic care help with? Here are the most common issues we see in our Pascoe Vale clinic.

📍 1. Lower Back Pain

Probably the most well-known reason to see a chiropractor. Whether it’s from poor posture, lifting injuries, desk work, or long hours on your feet, lower back pain can interfere with everything from sleep to mobility.

✅ How we help:
Spinal adjustments, movement correction, ergonomic advice, and strengthening strategies.

📍 2. Neck Pain & “Tech Neck”

Looking down at devices, slouching at work, or sleeping in an awkward position can all contribute to neck tension and reduced mobility.

✅ How we help:
Gentle adjustments, postural support, and targeted soft tissue work to relieve pressure and restore movement.

📍 3. Headaches & Migraines

Tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches (which originate from the neck) are common and often overlooked. Misalignments or tension in the neck and shoulders can trigger or worsen headaches.

✅ How we help:
By improving cervical spine function, reducing muscular tension, and supporting nervous system balance.

📍 4. Sciatica & Nerve Pain

Sciatica refers to irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often resulting in pain down the leg, tingling, or numbness. This can stem from spinal joint dysfunction or disc issues.

✅ How we help:
Spinal decompression, mobility work, and gentle adjustments to relieve nerve pressure and restore comfort.

📍 5. Shoulder, Hip, and Joint Pain

Chiropractic care isn’t just for the spine — we often work with the shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, wrists, and jaw (TMJ) to improve alignment and reduce dysfunction.

✅ How we help:
Joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, rehab exercises, and lifestyle advice.

📍 6. Postural Issues

From rounded shoulders to forward head posture, postural imbalances can lead to long-term pain and fatigue. Poor posture is a major contributor to neck and back problems.

✅ How we help:
Posture assessments, spinal adjustments, desk setup recommendations, and corrective exercises.

📍 7. Pregnancy-Related Discomfort

Pregnant women often experience lower back pain, pelvic instability, sciatica, or pubic symphysis discomfort. As the body shifts, so does spinal and pelvic alignment.

✅ How we help:
Gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic techniques to support comfort, mobility, and a balanced pelvis.

📍 8. Children’s Developmental Issues

Kids can experience everything from growing pains to postural imbalances. Early support can help set a strong foundation for spinal health as they grow.

✅ How we help:
Low-force care, posture advice, and movement assessments designed specifically for little bodies.

📍 9. Chronic Conditions

Chiropractic care can complement medical treatment for long-standing issues like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue — improving mobility and quality of life.

✅ How we help:
Joint mobilisation, gentle care, and support strategies to keep you moving.
