Who is Beaulieu Chiro
Beaulieu Chiropractic is a family practice treating patients of all ages, including newborns and geriatrics. Situated in the beautiful Beaulieu estate, we also treat a large number of sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts, including horse-riders, marathon runners and cyclists. Chiropractic by definition means ‘done by hand.’ The practice therefore makes use of conservative manual therapies in order to accurately diagnose and effectively treat a variety of biomechanical disorders and musculoskeletal conditions. Our aim is to remove or rectify biomechanical and musculoskeletal interference at the source, in order to remove pain and improve mobility, functioning and quality of life.

What is a restriction/joint immobility?
A joint is defined as a structure in the human skeleton in which two bones are fitted together. Within your body you have a number of spinal facet joints, formed by the articulation of the vertebrae with one another, and a number of extremity joints, such as your shoulders, elbows, hips, knees and ankles.
When any one of these joints becomes restricted (ie: when their mobility is affected) this can have a large effect on any of the structures surrounding this joint, which in turn can lead to pain and altered function. As chiropractors we are trained to detect these restrictions and correct them by means of a chiropractic manipulation/adjustment.
What is a manipulation/adjustment?
A chiropractic manipulation is defined as a high velocity low amplitude thrust, applied to a joint in the body in order to correct or restore motion. It is a painless, pleasant experience.
During this thrust pressure builds up within the joint in the form of small gas bubbles. These gas bubbles pop, which makes the characteristic ‘cracking’ sound associated with chiropractic treatment. No bones are being broken, we can assure you!
Sports Injuries
We have a strong interest in providing treatment to sports men and women of all age groups and across all disciplines... the goal of treatment is the same.... improved performance, improved recovery and a significant decrease in related sporting injuries.
As chiropractic treatment is a non-invasive, conservative approach to helping you achieve your full potential, many sports men and women are making use of our services.
Headaches
Headaches can be so severe that they become debilitating. Many headaches are termed as a cervicogenic headache, meaning the root cause of the pain is generated by structures in your neck. Spinal and cervical (neck) manipulative therapy provides very successful relief in these cases.
Some headaches are caused by pain referral patterns form the jaw and musculature of the neck. Relief can be experienced after specific manipulative and soft tissue therapy these very structures causing your discomfort.
Back Pain
Almost everyone, at some in their lives will suffer from back pain. Lower back pain has reached epidemic proportions in most industrialised nations. This could be due to a number of reasons, one of which is the more sedentary lifestyle one leads when forced to sit behind a desk for hours on end.
Pain could be caused by the bones, muscles, ligament and other elements of the spine itself. Research shows that chiropractic care is one of the leading conservative treatment methods for relief of acute (recently acquired) and chronic (long term) back pain.
Pregnancy
During pregnancy, many women experience aches and pains that they are not accustomed to. This is due to the increased weight and different distribution of weight around the body. Coupled with the increased flexibility of supporting structures and tissues due to hormonal influences, soon to be moms are often in a little discomfit. Chiropractic treatment provides an alternative approach to managing these discomforts, with the use of non-invasive, drug free methods.
Neck Pain
Neck pain is a very common ailment with many, many causes. From previous injury from a bad fall or motor vehicle accident (whiplash injury) , to bad posture and ergonomics in the workplace, chiropractic treatment can help identify the cause and attempt to provide you relief through various protocols.
