Over the decades, Chiropractic care has grown tremendously in popularity. People now see that their local Chiropractor can help with more than just back pain or joint issues. If you suffer from chronic headaches, tension headaches or migraines, it’s time to visit the expert team at Carlin Chiropractic. We’ll discuss your medical history, find out the type of headaches you are suffering from, and then find the cause. You can rely on a Chiropractor for headaches instead of pain-relieving medication.
A potential cause of your headaches could be that your spine is out of alignment, and extra stress is being placed on your nervous system. Visiting Carlin Chiropractic for gentle Chiropractic techniques may help alleviate your recurring headaches. Dr Simon or Dr Tayla can assist with realigning your spine to help eliminate, or reduce the severity of your headaches.
When your bodily functions return to normal, there is less stress and tension. As a result, your headaches may subside. You may have an occasional headache but, these might be the result of dehydration or diet choices, and nowhere near as painful as a misaligned spine.
Chronic back and neck pain can result in severe migraines. If you experience debilitating back and neck pain, Chiropractic care may help reduce the amount and severity of your migraines. Although environmental factors and dietary issues can cause migraines, a major cause is tension issues. This tension can be a byproduct of limited physical activity, poor ergonomics, and incorrect posture – these adversely impact your upper back and neck, causing migraines.
When you see a Chiropractor for headaches, the experts can perform joint manipulation to reduce the tension levels in your neck and back. Some may recommend soft tissue massage, shiatsu or acupuncture.
If you suffer from headaches or migraines, below are some of the results you may experience from seeing a Chiropractor who uses gentle Chiropractic techniques.
After a session with your Chiropractor for headaches, you may experience immediate relief. The longer you have had headaches, no matter which type, the longer it may take for you to find relief. Most of the time you will need to see your Chiropractor for a series of appointments as part of a health care plan.
One thing to note is that everyone responds differently to Chiropractic treatment. Regardless, it’s time for you to stop treating your issues with over-the-counter medications and schedule an appointment with Carlin Chiropractic. Reach out to us today!

Make sure you provide your Chiropractor with your most up-to-date medical records and history. Your Chiropractor will ask questions about your overall health and you should answer with as much detail as possible. Some questions will cover general medical information, others will pertain to your back pain, such as how it started, what makes it feel better, other symptoms you might be experiencing, and whether your issues were caused by an accident or injury.
Your Chiropractor will look at all factors that are impacting your ailments, such as your posture, the location of the pain, whether you can move freely, if there is numbness anywhere, while also determining the overall strength of your body. Carlin are a Chiro Perth locals turn to for comfort, and will perform many tests to help you get back in shape.

It’s that time of the year again! For most Western Australian kids, January 31 is Back to School day! Thanks to an initiative from the Australian Chiropractors Association, Carlin Chiropractic are proud to promote the ‘Back to School Health Checklist’. As millions of children across the country return to their classrooms to learn, play and socialise – it’s important for them to value their health and wellbeing in the classroom, all year round. The focus is too often placed upon mental and social development, while health and wellbeing can sometimes fall by the wayside.
It’s all well and good to have a checklist of stationery and text books for the school year, but what about the factors that impact a child’s health and wellbeing? The Australian Chiropractors Association ‘Back to School Health Checklist’ is a tool to instill healthy habits into your child’s everyday routine. Below is a summary of the key items.
We focus so intently on how an adult’s posture is some important when using a computer at work or in the home. What we fail to recognise is the amount of time a child spends sitting at a desk. It’s only natural that your child maintains good posture. Below are the recommendations.
Devices are so commonly used in the classroom for learning. Keep recreational screen use outside of the classroom to a maximum of 2 hours per day. Make sure your child enjoys plenty of non-screens related activities.
A nutritious diet is important at any age. Staying alert in the classroom, active in the playground and sporting field are assisted with a balanced diet including fruit, veggies and plenty of water.
Physical education, school and weekend sports are essential for a child’s health and wellbeing. An hour of physical activity should be included in a child’s daily routine.

Are you a woman who suffers from menstrual pain or other menstrual health complications? If so, do you feel as if your world stops each and every month. What if Carlin Chiropractic told you that it doesn’t have to?
There are a number of natural remedies and other home remedies that you can use to seek relief menstrual pain relief.
This natural home remedy for menstrual cramps can be taken in many different ways. Some Australian women find relief by grinding a teaspoon of ginger, swallowing it, and washing it down with a glass of water. Others recommend grinding the ginger and leaving it to soak in a boiled cup of water, then waiting for it to cool to a drinkable temperature before consuming. While some women find that including ginger in cooking can provide menstrual pain relief.
Another natural remedy for menstrual health that relieves the severity of cramps is cooked banana flower. Carlin Chiropractic recommends eating it with a side of yoghurt. This home remedy may assist with easing pain and discomfort, and assist women experiencing a heavy cycle.
Magnesium is a helpful and naturally occurring substance that can assist with menstrual health. But don’t overdo it, excessive consumption can cause tummy upsets and muscle weakness. Magnesium can be found in the following foods:
Just like magnesium, when Omega 3 Fatty Acids are consumed in moderation, there are little to no side effects. For those who do not eat fish or fish products, there are capsule supplements available. Staying on top of your Omega 3 Fatty Acids is the recommended approach, and should be consumed on a regular basis, not just when menstrual cramps are a problem.
We know it’s easier said than done during menstrual health problems. If a gym visit, running or aerobics are too painful to endure, then walking, yoga or some simple stretching may assist to relieve cramping. Talk to our expert team about how the freedom of movement created by Chiropractic care can provide menstrual pain relief.
Discomfort, and cramps that often accompany a menstrual health flare-up can always be treated with heat. While it’s not truly a “natural” remedy, there are many women who use heat packs or a warm washcloth to ease the pain of cramps. Be careful though, let your source of heat cool before applying to your skin.
We hope you’ve discovered some new remedies to relieve the pain and discomfort associated with menstrual cramps. Apart from staying on top of your water consumption, you should talk to a Chiropractor about how Chiropractic care can provide menstrual pain relief. Reach out to us today on 08 9385 2388 for a chat, or make a booking via our contact form.
Typically, Perth locals will visit Carlin Chiropractic for back and neck complaints, but the next most common chronic pain complaint is that of headaches. A Chiropractor is trained to evaluate and diagnose the root cause of your headaches, then implement gentle Chiropractic techniques to treat you. Furthermore, our Chiro team will create an ongoing treatment plan that may see partial or complete relief in most people. Below we discuss the common causes of headaches and what can be done to find relief.
Headaches happen to everyone, including children. But when they are impacting your day-to-day life, causing stress and other physical symptoms, seeing a Chiropractor for headaches is highly recommended. Managing your symptoms with painkillers is not the answer.
A headache is often your body telling you something is not right. Some of the common causes of headaches include lifestyle factors such as stress or tension, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet choices that include too much salt, and even smoking. Symptoms that accompany headaches include:
Untreated diabetes is a common cause of headaches, as is high blood pressure. Other common causes of headaches include:
Older people may experience headaches as a result of arthritis and inflammation of the temporal artery.
The reason a lot of people consider a Chiropractor for treating headaches is to reduce their reliance upon medication. As previously mentioned, managing your symptoms with painkillers is not the answer. Seeing a Chiropractor for headaches is a natural approach to dealing with your pain and the cause of the pain. Eradicating the side effects that comes with the daily use of painkillers is also a motivation to seek a natural remedy.
Carlin Chiropractic’s holistic approach to health employs techniques that are designed to reorganise the nervous system.

While many sporting contests and training sessions are completed with no occurrence of injury or incident, the odd hit-out can result in the opposite. There are many different kinds of situations that may arise during a match or training, and any part of the body can be injured. While the road to recovery after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament can be arduous and a test of one’s resolve, recovery from a head injury can take even longer. The head is sacrosanct in many sports and when injuries do occur, concussion management should be held paramount. In this blog post from the expert team at Carlin Chiropractic, you will learn how to handle concussions when they occur.
As a coach, you should not only educate yourself with regards to the skills, tactics and discipline of your chosen sport, but also with managing injuries. It’s important that you understand all the signs of concussion, the symptoms, and after recovery, what needs to be done in the way of concussion management.
When a person experiences concussion, it can be the result of a blow or jolt to the body. This can cause the head to move quickly back and forth, with the brain bouncing around inside the skull. Concussion is extremely dangerous and can be caused by:
However, concussions can also occur when the brain accelerates or decelerates in the skull rapidly – not just as a result of direct head trauma.
When an athlete experiences trauma to the head, they are likely to lose consciousness and experience one or more of the symptoms below:
As a coach of any level of sport, it is important to identify concussion quickly and remove the affected athlete from play. In professional sport, SCAT5 (Sports Concussion Assessment Tool 5) is used as a concussion assessment tool, and must only be used by medical professionals. In amateur sport, CRT5 (Concussion Recognition Tool 5) is used for evaluating concussion. But these tests should not be used to categorically make or exclude a concussion diagnosis.
After assessment, if a player is suspected of having concussion and medical professionals are not immediately available to assist, the athlete should be referred to a medical facility for urgent assessment.
The basic principles of first aid (DRSABC) should be followed. Do not move the athlete (exceptions can be made for airway management) unless medical professionals such as paramedics, nurses or doctors are on site. An athlete’s helmet should not be removed and assessment for spinal cord injury is critical and should be carried out.
Treating concussion is vitally important and the expert team at Carlin Chiropractic provide concussion management services. We provide a drug-free alternative for treating concussion issues and restoring overall balance to an athlete’s body and mind.
Contact us today and book an appointment if you think you or any of your loved ones might have a concussion.

Our professional team can assist you with the following:
Back pain is something most of us know all too well. From lower back pain, to upper back discomfort, neck and head pain is a wide spread condition in almost every country and across all ages. When people are faced with ongoing back issues that cannot be helped through the use of ordinary medicine, chronic sufferers start looking for a Chiropractor to ease their pain. Be sure to engage the services of a back pain Chiropractor today!
Our Chiro experts are of the ilk that the spine is one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. This is due to the gravity of stress and fatigue taking their toll. Gravity and stress can lead to back problems such as scoliosis. Problems in the spine may also lead to other complications such as low immune function, headaches, allergies, asthma, and more interestingly, menstrual disorders.
If you’re considering a natural path to menstrual cramp relief, choose Carlin Chiropractic for menstrual pain relief. Our proactive approach can stop pain in its tracks. We can help you say goodbye to uncomfortable, debilitating periods with Chiropractic care.
You’ve probably heard your team mates talking about about Chiropractors, Chiropractic therapy, or even Chiropractic treatment. Maybe your favourite athlete is receiving Chiropractic therapy because of an injury. Sports Chiropractic has been popular for decades, and we recommend you reach out us if you’re struggling to reach peak performance when the pressure is on.
Sports injuries are not just an adult’s issue. Children and teenagers are regularly involved in physical activities, such as sport, dancing, or something as simple as cycling to school. From sprained ankles, to kneee injuries and concussions, these accidents can occur anywhere, including school, the park, or while practising sport or dance at home. Contact us for assistance with kid’s sport injuries.
Dance is a beautiful yet demanding form of art. Dancing takes its toll on the body, whether it be your wrists, back, neck, hips, pelvis, knees, ankles, or even toes. Visits to a Chiropractor for dancers can help you continue dancing while giving your body the opportunity to heal. Pain should not be a part of your dance routine. Reach out for drug-free treatment for your dance-related injuries!
More than 3,000 Aussies end up in hospital each year due to concussion. This figure is from playing sports alone. Almost 3 times this number of Aussie do not seek medical attention after a head knock, and what scares us the most is that 9 out of 10 people who are hospitalised due to a concussion, don’t even recognise the condition.
The expert team at Carlin take great care to ensure accurate diagnosis and provide you or your child with a comprehensive and customised concussion management plan.
Our family Chiro care will provide your entire family with less stress, better energy and healthy movement. We are ready to help you with our gentle therapeutic approach. Book today and discover the benefits of visiting our Chiro experts, we even help babies!
For most people, good health begins with dieting and ends at exercising – they completely overlook the importance of adequate relaxation. You might think that eight hours of sleep is all you need to recharge your mind and body, but this is rarely true. Releasing tension from your muscles is where true relaxation lies. Sessions with a skilled massage therapist Perth locals love is a good start!
Unspecialised massage involves manipulating your muscles, whereas myofascial treatments can promote natural healing. The benefits of massage therapy last only a couple of days because it targets the muscles alone, which tend to quickly bounce back into their original stressed state. On the other hand, myofascial release massage creates a long-lasting change because it targets the fluid-gel connective tissue called fascia, in addition to your muscles.
We often hear massage therapists talk about ‘knots’ in our muscles. These knots are hardened fascia subjected to severe tension. At Carlin Chiropractic, you can experience a long-lasting release of this tension with our calming massage therapist Perth locals recommend. Our treatments empower the body’s own self-corrective mechanism and might be just the thing you need, especially if your doctor has been unable to diagnose anything based on your X-ray, MRI, or CT scan results because fascia is not detectable in these tests.
We undergo different kinds of stress during the day – some physical, some mental. Shiatsu can help relieve both, in four to six sessions. It can also help you eliminate muscle tightness, constant headache, back pain, period cramps, pregnancy complications, and so much more. With Carlin Chiropractic, you can discover a skilled massage therapist Perth residents have tried, tested, and loved for relieving all these ailments.
Shiatsu takes you into a deep state of relaxation and balances the energy flowing through your body, while you’re fully clothed and lying on a soft mat close to the earth. Our therapists ensure that every session is tailored to meet your needs and that you experience the best relaxation massage Perth has to offer.
After exploring the techniques of myofascial release and shiatsu massage, it’s now time to look at some of their benefits. Not only do these therapies help you relieve pain, but they also promote the overall wellbeing of your body promoting healthier digestion, reducing the levels of stress, and increasing your stamina for physical work and exercise.
However, a remedial massage ends up delivering the best results only when performed by a well-trained professional who knows how to understand the unique needs of each person’s body. At Carlin Chiropractic, we offer just this – professionalism and dedication, whether you are visiting us for a minor chiro-related concern or the most relaxing shiatsu massage Perth can provide.
Begin your journey towards a calm life and balanced physical health with us. Schedule an appointment with our experts and never suffer another day in pain. At Carlin, your needs always come first!
