Ridgeway Chiropractic Clinic
Welcome to Ridgeway
Dr Mark Blokland first established Ridgeway Chiropractic clinic in 1995. His aim was to create a wellness clinic to provide a holistic approach to your health as well as relief from back and neck pain. Those pains are now regarded as being an epidemic amongst our generation and are even predicted to get worse as a result of our sedentary lifestyles and poor and inadequate dietary habits.
Painkillers can give short-term relief, but they do not address the cause of the pain or reach the source of the problem. Most back pain is due to poor mechanics in the way that the spine moves due to misaligned vertebra, the bones in the spine. That results in inflammation, muscle tension and reduced blood flow to the area, scar tissue and nerve irritation. Usually that arises from bad posture, too much sitting and lack of exercise, repetitive strains and chronic stressors from modern day life and trauma. Pain may be localised to one area or may radiate to the arms, legs and feet or even the head.
