FAQS
What conditions can we help with?
Spinal health care can help a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, and even issues related to posture. It's not just about addressing the symptoms; it's about improving your overall health and well-being by improving the health of your spine and nervous system. If you have specific concerns or questions about your condition, please don't hesitate to ask for a consultation to discuss how spinal health care can benefit you.
Is spinal health care safe, and are the adjustments painful?
Spinal health care is generally considered safe when performed by trained professionals. The adjustments are typically not painful; in fact, many clients report feeling relief and improved mobility after an adjustment. Our spinal therapists are highly skilled and will use gentle techniques tailored to your individual needs. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we will explain every step of the process to ensure you feel at ease during your sessions.
How many visits will I need to see results?
The number of sessions you'll need depends on various factors, including the nature and severity of your condition, your overall health, and your treatment goals. Some clients experience relief after just a few sessions, while others may require more ongoing care. During your initial Spinal Health Assessment, our therapists will assess your specific situation and provide a personalised treatment plan. Our goal is to provide efficient and effective care, so you can return to a pain-free and healthy lifestyle as soon as possible.
Is Your Spine Involved in Your Sense of Taste?
When Flavour Feels Flat
Have you ever noticed your favourite meal doesn’t taste quite the same? Maybe food seems bland, or you struggle to tell flavours apart. We often blame age, blocked sinuses, or even “bad cooking”—but your spine and nerves may also play a hidden role.
The Nerves Behind Taste
Taste doesn’t come from your tongue alone. Yes, taste buds detect sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and savoury—but your nervous system and brain do the real work of turning those signals into flavour.
And here’s the important link: taste is closely connected to smell, swallowing, and even jaw and neck muscles—all of which depend on healthy nerve communication through the spine.
As neuroscientist Gordon Shepherd put it:
“Flavour is not in the food; flavour is created in the brain.”
If the signals are distorted by spinal misalignment or nerve interference, your perception of flavour can change.
Did You Know?
When you eat, your brain combines information from taste, smell, and touch to build the full “flavour experience.” If any of those signals are disrupted, food can taste dull, strange, or unbalanced.
How Spinal Misalignment Affects Taste
A misaligned spine can:
Interfere with motor nerves controlling swallowing and jaw muscles, making eating uncomfortable.
Irritate sensory nerves that work alongside taste and smell pathways.
Trigger headaches or facial tension that alter how you perceive flavour.
Affect posture so breathing and smelling are restricted, reducing the richness of taste.
People sometimes notice:
Food tasting “different” or less enjoyable.
Reduced appetite because flavours seem flat.
Changes in swallowing comfort.
Jaw or facial tension when eating.
Simple Support for Taste and Nerves
Enjoying food starts with giving your body clear signals. Supporting your spinal health helps your brain process flavour fully.
Even something as simple as eating in an upright posture(rather than slouched forward) helps your nerves, muscles, and breathing work together—bringing more flavour back into every bite.
Takeaway
Your sense of taste isn’t just on your tongue—it’s a full-body experience created by your brain. Misaligned or irritated nerves in the spine can distort that experience, leaving flavours flat or strange.
By caring for your spine, you’re not only protecting your posture and movement—you’re keeping the joy of flavour alive.
