About Levin Chiropractic

Levin Chiropractic is a family friendly healthcare practice here to restore the spine towards an ideal shape and to support better health. Our purpose is to allow the body’s intuitive ability to self heal to be fully expressed.

We know that health is a continuous process that requires regular support to keep it. Levin Chiropractic recognises that there are a number of factors involved in maintaining a functioning body:

  • functioning nervous system: correct spinal position with proper motion in pelvis and cranial bones to allow for effective brain body signals (communication) and less tension within the brain and central nervous system.
  •  nutrient rich diet: natural whole real foods (fats, protein and carbohydrates) with plenty of clean fluids (water) to supply the body with the correct building blocks to repair and heal itself.
  • regular movement (exercise): helps keep the muscles strong and joints mobile, blood circulating and increase oxygenation.
  • mental state: a positive healthy mental attitude provides good self esteem and better outlook.
  • sleep: this is where the body heals and regenerates.
We focus on the nervous system because that is the link between the brain and body. For the body to function optimally it needs to be able to talk to the brain and vice versa. This is achieved through the nervous system (spinal cord and nerves).  Our aim is to restore the shape and function of the spine for effective brain body communication and allow for optimal self healing.

What to expect?

It’s common for the body to experience unpleasant symptoms as it goes through the healing process. Dr Li teaches people that the body responds appropriately all the time even if it is uncomfortable.

First appointment – can be up to an hour.

This is the initial consultation and examination where the chiropractor will go through a health history then an examination involving neurological, orthopedic, postural and spinal exam. Postural photos are taken. Referral for X-rays given if indicated.

This appointment is performed fully clothed.

Second appointment – can be up to 30mins

This is the follow up appointment where the Chiropractor tells you what they think is going on, what’s causing your issue and how they plan to help you. If you have any questions this would be the time to ask. It is at this appointment that you’d get your first Chiropractic adjustment.

This appointment is performed fully clothed.

Subsequent appointments – can be up to 10mins

These are based on the plan of care that you agreed to at the second appointment, it depends on what you’re wanting to achieve.

There are two types of care:

  • Bandaid, this is first aid care, essentially you have a specific symptom (a pain) and this type of care is to get your spine working better, once symptoms ease the care ceases until symptoms return.
  • Rehabilitation, this is getting to the cause of the issue investigating the shape of the spine and rehabilitating it back to or as close as possible to ideal so that the brain and body can talk effectively and restore the body’s intuitive ability to self heal and self regulate for optimal performance regardless of symptoms.
