Treating Chronic Fatigue with Naturopathy

Is Chronic Fatigue getting you down? Chronic Fatigue is a complicated syndrome, also known as CFS, which is characterised by persistent and extreme tiredness. CFS lasts for at least 6 months but could also last for years. There are many causes with varied symptoms in addition to fatigue, which makes the condition difficult to diagnose and treat.

This is why Naturopathy is a preferred assessment method as there is no ‘one size fits all’ way to treat CFS. A naturopath will determine the underlying causes of your chronic fatigue and develop an individualised treatment plan to address the condition.

Kyphosis. How does Chiropractic care help?

Scoliosis can happen from a young age, in children, adolescence, young adults through to adulthood. While many people who have scoliosis suffer minor issues, and may not even be aware that they have the condition, scoliosis can worsen over time without treatment and lead to severe pain.

Scoliosis is a curvature of the spine and can range from a minor degree to an S-shaped curved spine, depending on individual cases. While the exact causes are unknown, it is more commonly seen in young teens in which sudden growth can impact the formation of the spine.

Preventing Back Pain and Injuries

Lower back pain is one of the most common health complaints in which most of us will experience at some point. While back pain can get better on its own, chronic back pain can be related to injuries and can have a detrimental impact on your everyday life.

What is Bio-Energetics?
Unknown to most people, the very reason that we’re alive is because of bio-energetics. This amazing process happens within the mitochondria, deep inside most of our cells. The mitochondria often called the ‘energy-factory’ or the ‘powerhouse’ of the cells. The energy currency that it makes is in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy-rich ATP molecule is produced using oxygen from our breath to convert chemical energy from our food. It’s this ATP form of useable energy that sustains our life.

Holistic Health – Treating Your Mind & Body as One

Empowering Wellness Clinic, Burleigh is committed to helping our clients restore their health, by offering a range of holistic and natural therapies which are individually tailored to their needs.

The philosophy of holistic health focuses on the mind and body as one, with a whole-body approach to health issues. As Socrates wrote – ‘the part can never be well unless the whole is well.’

We believe that the entire person is made up of interdependent components and if one part of the body is not functioning well, all the other parts will be affected. Therefore, if people have imbalances (physical, emotional, or spiritual) in their lives, it can negatively impact their overall health.

By avoiding the temptation to focus solely on the physiological symptoms of our patients, our practitioners at Empowering Wellness Burleigh can objectively look at the full picture, including environmental, emotional, social, and psychological influences affecting the patient.

The Benefits of Custom-Made Orthotics (Shoe Inserts)

Our feet are often taken for granted, but when you think about it they are our main form of transport!

They are the foundation of our body and play a crucial role in our stability, particularly the pelvis and the spine. Biomechanical dysfunctions of the feet can lead to issues ranging from heel pain through to hip and spinal problems.

‘Pronation’ is the part of walking and running that allows your body to absorb the shock of contact with the ground. As your foot hits the ground, it locks slightly to absorb shock and allow your foot to stabilise itself to propel forward for the next step. However, sometimes your foot rolls too far inward, known as overpronation, causing lower body pain in areas such as your legs, knees, hips and even your spine.
