About Us
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health care discipline designed to provide a safe and natural approach to improve the way your body moves and functions. Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (primarily the spine, and pelvis) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.
Our nervous system controls every cell, tissue and organ in our body. By maintaining an optimal structure free from restriction gives our bodies the best chance of handling everyday stresses. Poor posture, slips and falls, sports injuries or lack of exercise can cause the bones of your spine (vertebrae) or other joints to lose their usual motion or position.
Joint misalignment can result in decreased nerve function setting off a chain reaction affecting the vertebrae, nerves, muscles, soft tissues and organs, resulting in degenerative changes throughout the body. Symptoms may include pain, restricted movement, weakness, numbness, and headaches and in some cases no symptoms at all.
At Irvine Chiropractic we use gentle and specific adjustments/mobilisations, soft-tissue release techniques, musculoskeletal acupuncture (dry-needling), exercise prescription and ergonomic/postural/nutritional advice to heal our patients and prevent future injury.
It is non-invasive, non-surgical and drug-free, helping you to improve your overall health.

Western Sydney born-and-raised, Daniel was first inspired to become a Chiropractor as a young athlete dealing with recurring injuries. After seeking treatment from various health practitioners without success, he was introduced to chiropractic care and was amazed by the results.

Assessment
Obtaining an accurate diagnosis is critical to successful care. At Irvine Chiropractic we believe it's just as important to understand how the body has allowed this to happen. To determine the causes of your condition we will perform an assessment of the area using the latest neuromusculoskeletal assessment methods, which include:
- Structural anatomical analysis
- Joint range of motion assessment
- Joint coordination assessment
- Muscle testing
- Orthopaedic assessment
- Functional movement assessment
- Movement pattern assessment
- Neurodynamic testing
After a thorough assessment, our team will determine if any further information is required. This will usually be in the form of a referral to either a GP / specialist or for diagnostic imaging.

Sports Chiropractic
Professional athletes consistently push their bodies to the limit to compete. Their bodies must be in peak physical condition to be able to withstand the demands of training and competing at the highest level. Many elite athletes choose chiropractic care to reduce recovery times, prevent injury and increase general wellbeing - helping them to achieve and maintain peak performance.
A Chiropractic adjustment stimulates proper nerve conduction allowing increased muscle strength, decreased pain, and improved balance and coordination. This can significantly decrease the risk of injury, allowing you to move better for longer resulting in improved performance.
Just as Chiropractic care is a vital part of a professional athlete's regime, it's just as important for those of us with an interest in regular exercise and general wellbeing to keep our bodies aligned and balanced with a fully functioning nervous system.
We treat patients from a wide array of skill and fitness levels, and will tailor a treatment plan to suit your needs.
