Chiropractic Treatments Offered

Chiropractic Adjustments

Spinal adjustments are one of the most effective ways to align the body and relieve pain. Dr. Crestani uses gentle and safe manual adjustments to realign the spine, allowing the body to function more efficiently. These adjustments target misalignments in the spine, which may be causing pain, stiffness, or restricted movement. While the “pop” sound is often associated with chiropractic adjustments, the primary focus is on restoring balance and promoting better health.

Mobilisations

Not every treatment requires intense manipulation. Sometimes, the body simply needs assistance in regaining its natural range of motion. Mobilisations involve gentle movements designed to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness. This technique helps improve flexibility and makes daily activities more comfortable. Mobilisation can be an excellent choice for those seeking to restore ease of movement without the force of spinal adjustments.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an effective way to treat muscle tightness and trigger points. By inserting fine needles into specific muscle knots, dry needling stimulates healing and promotes relaxation. This treatment allows your body to send healing cells to the affected areas, helping to relieve muscle pain, tension, and discomfort. Dry needling can be especially beneficial for those with chronic muscle pain or repetitive strain injuries.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that provides support to muscles and tendons during physical activity. The brightly coloured tape is designed to allow full movement while offering stability and reducing strain. Kinesio taping can help alleviate pain and prevent injury by supporting muscles and joints, making it a popular choice for athletes and active individuals.

Massage Gun Therapy

Imagine the relief of a deep tissue massage, but with a high-tech massage gun. This device operates at speeds of up to 3600 rpm, targeting muscle soreness and tension. Massage gun therapy is ideal for relieving muscle tightness, improving circulation, and accelerating recovery after physical activity. The device works tirelessly, providing a consistent and powerful massage that helps promote healing and relaxation.

She empowers her patients to take control of their own health, guiding them toward a pain-free and active life.
