Genya and Gavin’s naturopathic treatment comprises a range of modalities:

Herbal medicine

Herbal medicine is the most universal and oldest form of medicine known to mankind. Herbal prescriptions are based on the traditional therapeutic uses as well as the ever increasing scientific research.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a vibrational medicine, prescribed according to a patient’s individual symptom picture.

Nutrition

If a patient’s nutrition is lacking eventually a disease state will occur. Our Naturopaths specialize in identifying and isolating the specific nutritional deficiencies and correcting them with diet or supplements.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific sites along the body’s meridians. Stimulating these points clears energy blockages and encourages the normal flow of Chi (energy) through the body. The acupoints may also be stimulated using other methods such as cupping, laser acupuncture, electric stimulation, massage and moxibustion

Biomesotherapy

An effective treatment for pain, inflammation and immobility which acts by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Sterile saline solution is injected into acupuncture points and oral homeopathic medicines are given simultaneously. It is especially effective in acute injuries, old injuries, scar tissue, arthritis and reducing the duration of sports injuries.

Ear Candling

The technique involves the use of a hollow candle which is placed gently in the ear. The outer end is lit which creates a gentle warm air vacuum in the auditory canal that draws out old wax, debris and infection. It can be useful for dizziness, tinnitus, sinus, hearing problems and cold & flu symptoms.

Bach Flower Essences

Distilled water extracts which gently balance emotions, promote internal harmony and wellbeing.

 CHIROPRACTIC CARE IS FOR EVERYONE

Dr. Sandra Buchanan

B.App.Sci(Clin.Sci.)/B.Chiro.Sci, Member CAA

Discover the secret to unlocking your health potential

What truly differentiates doctors of chiropractic from any other healthcare professionals is the fact that chiropractors are the only professionals who are trained to diagnose and treat what are called spinal subluxations.  The word “subluxation” comes from the Latin words meaning “somewhat or slight" (sub) and “to dislocate” (luxate).  So the term ‘vertebral subluxation’ literally means a slight dislocation or misalignment of the bones in the spine. 

When your spine and nervous system is not working properly, your body cannot function properly either.

Chiropractic care is a gentle system of health that recognizes the primary function of the nervous system in controlling and maintaining the health of your body. If there is intereference to the normal flow if nerve information (subluxation), then there can be changes in the body such as inflammation, muscle spasm, pain, changes to normal organ function and other indicators of dis-ease.

So, Chiropractic care can assist with bringing your body back into better balance and getting your health back on track, naturally. Chiropractic recognises the body’s innate ability to heal itself so that treatment is focussed on removing the cause of the problem (subluxation).

Many conditions respond really well to chiropractic care. People consult a chiropractor for:

Wellness

Scoliosis

Postural Problems

Ergonomic advice

Headaches (including tension headache, migraine, cluster headaches)

Hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder complaints

Foot, ankle, knee and hip complaints

Pain: especially low back pain, middle back pain and neck pain

Newborn babies undergo a fair amount of spinal pressure during gestation and birth and sublaxations can make our newest people very irritable. Colicky babies, irritable babies and babies with torticollis or bengin hypotonia can all benefit.

During pregnancy , the extra pressure on the spine and other joints can be uncomfortable. Chiopractic care can help to maintain optimum spinal function which will minimise discomfort and may assist in an easier birth. Other discomforts of pregnancy such as carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, foot over-pronation to name but a few, may also be safely managed by your chiropractor.

Dr. Sandra Buchanan can also use a gentle technique called the Webster Technique which can be really helpful for turning breech babies.

Adults often come for chiropractic care because they have hurt themselves....back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, headaches & migraine etc. Chiropractic care is great for this but did you know that chiropractic care can also be a part of your health and wellbeing lifestyel to help you maintain optiumum health?

Elderly people, even those with pain from osteoporosis can benefit greatly from gentle chiropractic care. Dr. Sandra Buchanan has quite a lot of experience in geriatric care and is especially interested in helping to maintain movement and flexibility in older people. Even joints that are arthritic can feel better if even slightly more movement can be achieved.

Dr. Sandra Buchanan uses a wide variety of techniques such as Diversified, Activator, blocks, and Logan technique. The technique used is chosen by various factors including patient age, presenting complaint and patient preference.

Dr. Sandra Buchanan also uses a technique called N.E.T. (Neuroemotional technique). This technique can be helpful when physical therapy is not enough. It helps to change the body response to emotions that may be causing the patient to be "stuck". Further information can be found at www.netmindbody.com

Dr. Buchanan works in close partnership with general practitioners and is happy to work with patient who have an Enhanced Primary Care Plan from their GP so that they can clain 5 visits per calander year on Medicare. WorkCover and TAC claims also welcome.
