What is Spinal Orthotics?

Spinal orthotics is a means used to help restore healthy spinal curvatures. Your spine naturally has optimal curvatures which act as a shock absorber helping to reduce day to day physical joint stress.

With the advancement of modern technology and more sedentary lifestyles, these curves can start to shift over time. These shifts can start to create problems over time such as muscle aches, muscle tightness, headaches, nerve compression, poor function and spinal damage. This happens as long term shifts in the spine start to create unnecessary pressure and start to create compensation patterns.

Once these misalignments are identified, spinal orthotics can be used to restore and improve spinal alignment and posture. Spinal orthotics is made out of firm foam which is shaped to the spines natural alignments, by using spinal orthotics in the correct manner, it helps to lengthen out ligaments, reduce muscle tension and restore normal curvatures of the spine.

Spinal orthotics can treat a number of conditions as most spinal symptoms stem from dysfunction and misalignment of the spine. For example, someone who hunches could have tight shoulder muscles, headaches, numbness from cervical compression, etc. These symptoms are caused by prolonged stress to the area due to the postural change.

I had suffer lower back slip disc at my L4 bone for 13 years. Way back, i had went to hospital for MRI scan, refer to bone specialist and even tried TCM but non of them work well. Time and money spend in the past but the aching/pain just cannot resolve hence at one point of time i had already given up the hope for my slip disc and have the mind set to just live with the pain forever. Recently, happen to saw Chiropractic Ads in my facebook so i decided to give it a try. Did some research online and found LiveWell Sengkang so decided to give it a last tried. Dr Siew Wei was my chiropractor. After 2 session with Dr Siew Wei, realize my back was not as ache as before and surprisingly my body movement had improved as previously due to the aching/pain my body movement when straightening my back is like having this one to two sec pain/aching lag time whenever i bend down and up to do thing. Somehow, Chiropractic improve my body movement and daily lifestyle so I decided to sign up for a 20 session with Dr Siew Wei to continue maintaining my back ache. Overall, i feel the time and money spend is really worth here as I can really see the result here after 2 session with Dr Siew Wei.

I had an ankle surgery 6 months ago and with a scoliosis, it definitely affected my walking during rehabilitation. And I also suffered from severe back pain. with proper exercises, stretching and Chiropractic treatment with Dr. Jessie. I definitely feel a huge improvement on my walking and there’s lesser back pain. Dr. Jessie is a very well versed Chiropractor, she is also very friendly and tends to every patient with different specific treatment. I had chiro treatment done few years back and this is definitely a better clinic! Also I would like to thank the counter staff for always being flexible with my timing.

Made an appt after feeling stiff necks and shoulders. Attended to by Dr Kenney. Recommended to do an x-ray and realised I have cervical neck. Now midway to the treatment and feeling much better. Even the chest tightness I used to have, is also better now (yes, chest tightness or pain can be caused by chiropractic issues). Definitely recommend - most of time, the appt are punctual and treatments are fast.

Dr Kenney is very professional and patient. He will check with you any pain and adjust treatment accordingly. There is no pain for doing chiropractic unlike surgery. Though it will take some times to improve body condition progressively.
