Our Services
Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a gentle, 'hands on' approach focused on the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal complaints, with a large focus on the muscular and spinal system through a variety of manual techniques.
Anatomical structures such as joints, ligaments and muscles can give pain, and present as in many different ways. Chiropractic treatment encompasses soft tissue work, mobilisation, joint manipulation, dry needling to aid to muscular and joint restoration.
Chiropractic does not just treat the spine, it is a wholistic approach to the close relationship between muscles and joints in the body.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a safe and effective technique using a sterile, single-use, fine filament needle inserted into a muscle to aim at permanently decreasing pain and improving function by releasing myofascial trigger points (muscle knots).
Myofascial trigger points can occur when there is muscle dysfunction due to joint restrictions, poor posture, or altered muscle function.
Dry Needling is used by different medical specialist, including chiropractors and physiotherapists.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation in chiropractic is the continuing care provided to patients to allow them to further improve their musculoskeletal complaint.
Specific exercises help in maintaining care that is provided by the chiropractor, and allow individuals to take treatment into their own hands!
