What is Chiropractic?
We use our hands and/or instruments to make adjustments and realignments to your body that, in turn, relieve problems and pain. We monitor progress and adjust your plan to suit how your body responds to treatment.
But that’s not all we do.
Our profession is deeply rooted in the body’s ability to self-heal and includes other treatments like nutrition and exercise. In addition to spinal manipulation and joint adjustments, we also provide professional advice on health and nutrition and exercise as well as other aspects of day-to-day life that promote healthy living, such as massage, rest and relaxation.

Chiropractic is a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. There is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal manipulation or adjustment.
Your spine has two primary roles. Firstly to hold your body up against gravity; this is posture. Proper spinal alignment is the foundation of good posture. Therefore, your posture directly affects the health of your spine and back. The second function of the spine is protection. The spine is the protective armour for the spinal cord and nerve roots.
Altered function in the musculoskeletal system, or biomechanical dysfunction, within the spinal column, can cause postural distortions and affect nerve tissue passing through the spinal column. A chiropractor helps to restore normal movement within the spine and musculoskeletal system.
Postural correction helps to create an upright spinal alignment. By restoring normal function of the spine and musculoskeletal system, chiropractic care can relieve pain or discomfort arising from accidents, stress, lack of exercise, poor posture and everyday wear and tear.
With Chiropractic care, there is an emphasis on manual treatments including spinal manipulation or adjustments. These treatments are always safe, gentle and effective. At Duigan Chiropractic Perth, we use a number of different techniques and treatment is always catered to each individual person. Your personalized care plan will depend on your particular condition, how severe it is, how long you have had the condition, your response to treatment and how well you follow your chiropractor’s advice.
A Chiropractor is highly trained, having to complete a 5-year degree and register with the General Chiropractic Council. They are also required to complete further professional development every year. This ensures that Dr. Ashlee Clark will stay at the forefront of chiropractic research, technique and advancements. For you, this means you will receive the best chiropractic care available.
If something is off with your alignment, it can damage tissue and contribute to a wide range of health problems. Increasing your range of motion in your spine and joints is therefore key to restoring your wellbeing.
