Understanding Balance Assessment
Balance is a crucial foundation for everyday function and overall wellbeing. At Hartwell Chiropractic Centre, we place a strong emphasis on the role balance plays in maintaining a healthy, active life. Through ongoing professional development, we have pursued advanced studies in the assessment and diagnosis of balance-related issues.
Our balance assessments combine traditional physical evaluations with cutting-edge technology, including the BTrackS™ Balance Plate and BTrackS™ Assess Balance Software. These tools allow us to accurately measure stability, postural control, and fall risk. We also conduct a detailed examination of your posture and nervous system to build a complete picture of your balance health.
By identifying even subtle imbalances, we can intervene early to help improve mobility, prevent injury, and support your confidence in movement. A balance assessment at our clinic is more than just a check-up — it’s an essential step towards better living.
HEALTH • MOVEMENT • FUNCTION • PAIN MANAGEMENT
Hartwell Chiropractic Camberwell is a modern evidenced based practice which focuses on reducing pain and improving function and performance. We utilise varied techniques and recommend specific programmes for each of our patients.
Who Should Consider a Balance Assessment?
Balance assessments can benefit a wide variety of people — not just those who have already experienced falls. Older adults, athletes, people recovering from injury, or individuals managing neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or vestibular disorders can all gain valuable insights through a comprehensive evaluation.
If you’ve noticed symptoms like dizziness, unsteadiness, or simply feel less sure on your feet, a professional balance assessment is highly recommended. At our Camberwell clinic, we use advanced equipment and hands-on techniques to uncover any underlying balance issues, even those that might not yet be obvious.
Establishing a baseline is also useful for individuals who are active and want to maintain peak performance or prevent future problems. By identifying challenges early, we can create a personalized care plan that includes hands-on chiropractic care, targeted exercises, and strategies to enhance stability and overall wellbeing.
What to Expect During Your Balance Assessment
When you visit us for a balance assessment, you can expect a detailed, supportive, and highly personalized experience. We begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history and a discussion about your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.
Our assessment includes a combination of advanced technology — using the BTrackS™ Balance Plate and Assess Balance Software — and a thorough physical examination of your posture and nervous system function. This multi-faceted approach ensures we gain a full understanding of your balance capabilities.
Following the assessment, we design an individualized treatment program that often includes hands-on chiropractic care, balance training exercises, vestibular rehabilitation strategies, and lifestyle advice tailored to your needs. If appropriate, we can also coordinate referrals to other specialists to ensure you receive the most comprehensive care possible.
Our goal is to not only diagnose any issues but to help you build lasting improvements in stability, confidence, and quality of life. We are committed to helping you move better, feel better, and live better every day.
