Busting Myths about Chiropractors in Melbourne

Busting Myths about Chiropractors in Melbourne

In the world of health and wellness, it seems that everybody has an opinion on this particular treatment or that particular practice. While some of those opinions might be solid and informed, others are often founded on speculation and hearsay. Myths about these treatments become formed and, if enough people believe them, they become ‘truths’ that might not necessarily be true at all. The chiropractic profession certainly has numerous myths surrounding it, many of them unfounded. Let’s take a look at just a few of them.

Myth One: Spinal adjustments are painful

Often when you hear the word chiropractor or chiropractic, terms like ‘cracking the back’ usually follow. This can often put fear into patients who have never been to a chiropractic clinic before as they think the process will be painful. The truth is that spinal adjustments (i.e. what people actually mean by ‘cracking the back’) actually produce feelings of great relief. Of course, if you’d never experienced it before you might experience some post-treatment soreness, in much the same way you’ll experience Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) if you haven’t exercised in a while. But once you’ve had a few treatments, that feeling will give way to pain relief.

Myth Two: Once you start chiropractic treatment, you’ll need to keep coming back forever

Again, not true. Your body won’t break down simply because you’ve stopped chiropractic treatment. But, like regular exercise and a healthy, balanced diet, chiropractic treatment can help you to maintain a healthy, fully functional body and stave off its degradation as you get older. So while we certainly believe you will benefit from continued chiropractic treatment, the choice is ultimately yours.

I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the last 5 months for gut issues I have had for a number of years. She is very knowledgeable and ensured that the treatment and solution provided was targeted and tailored to my issues which has brought me great relief and improvement. A very professional, friendly and understanding approach that I would recommend to others.
Lina is absolutely fantastic to work with. Her passion for her work shows in absolutely every aspect of her practise - her level of care, her thoroughness & determination to help.
Angela is friendly and helpful, she takes the time to explain things clearly and cares about health. I have felt an improvement since following her advice thank you 🙏
Emma is friendly, knowledgeable & very thorough in her testing so as to resolve existing issues.
Coming into the clinic it feels instantly warm and cuddly. Very welcoming. I had the pleasure of seeing Rebecca, she was amazing and very knowledgable. Rebecca was brilliant at prescribing me natural supplements that catered to my specific needs. I’d love to praise her on her communication skills also, I am Deaf, and even having my interpreter alongside me, Rebecca spoke and looked directly at me, making me feel seen, heard and understood. I would also give a big round of applause to the receptionist and other staff at the clinic, they were all very accomodating, warm and friendly.
I've been seeing Lina for about two years now to treat a skin related condition. Lina is extremely knowledgeable; she is patient and persistent but best of all, she is practical! Her advice was tailored to suit my lifestyle and commitments without being unworkable or unrealistic. She really cares and is passionate about health. I would recommend Lina 100%.
I have been seeing Erin Graystone for the past 4 months due to leaky gut symptoms and a bacterial overgrowth in my GI tract. Erin is knowledgeable, kind and understanding and really goes the extra mile to make sure you are getting the right treatment. My symptoms are greatly reduced and we are on track to a full recovery after 10 years of other practitioner’s not finding an answer. It’s been life changing. Can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou Erin
Today was my second visit with Lina who is so kind and caring and she has given me hope that my perimenopause symptoms can be balanced with her guidance. I have already felt a shift in my sleep which had been horrible. The clinic is so lovely, staff are very helpful and I look forward to the journey ahead of managing this transition in my life.
I've had stomach problems for years and doctors have never properly diagnosed the problem. After one meeting with Emma I was giving a breath test and found the issue. We are now working to fix the issue
