"If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried a few different things to deal with back pain, neck stiffness or just that general feeling of knowing something’s off. I’d seen a few chiropractors before but never stuck with any, until I found InSync Chiropractic & Healthcare. I was looking for someone who would make me feel comfortable and take the time to understand my body, not just do a quick crack and go. I hadn’t heard of Gonstead Chiropractic until I met Dr. Ksenia but I quickly realised it was exactly what I needed, especially as someone with chronic back pain and arthritis. Yep, even in my early 20s.

What’s Different About Gonstead Chiropractic?

The Gonstead method focuses on identifying the exact areas of spinal misalignment using posture checks, visual observation, palpation, nerve scans and x-rays so that the treatment is based on real data, not guesswork. Dr. Ksenia did a full assessment before creating a tailored plan just for me.

What’s Changed For Me;

1. Back Pain – My lower back pain, which had been a consistent issue since I was probably 8 years old, started easing up after just a few sessions. I used to be in so much pain I’d end up in the ‘on all fours’ position just to get relief, especially when I was trying to sleep.

2. Neck Pain – I’ve had arthritis in my neck for about 4 years too and every time I get adjusted, I feel immediate relief. If I take too long to get another appointments, I start to struggle to sleep again.

3. Better Posture – I sit on my backside a lot, from hours of driving to then sitting at my computer. Eventually, I started to notice it becoming harder for me to sit up straight. But after each adjustment, I literally feel taller, something I notice as soon as I get back into my car.

4. More Mobility – I used to feel stiff in the mornings and late afternoons. I was known as the girl whose body cracked loudly when I simply just moved. Somewhere along the way, I realised my body’s not cracking constantly anymore!

5. Overall Wellbeing – I just feel better. With less back pain, neck pain, imporved posture and better mobility, everything else in my body seems to benefit which is something I’m really grateful for.

Why I recommend InSync Chiropractic;

Dr Ksenia is warm, professional and genuinely invested in helping you heal. She explains everything clearly, takes her time and never makes you feel like just another patient on a schedule. If you prefer a natural approach to health, Gonstead Chiropractic care could be for you. I’ve seen real, lasting results over the past couple of years so, if you’re in or around Fremantle, InSync Chiropractic is 100% worth checking out. What’s something you’ve done that’s made a big difference for your health or pain management?

Many Blessings, Grace. Xx"
