Chiropractic Services

Spinal Adjustment
Spinal adjustments are the foundation of chiropractic care. These adjustments involve applying a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust to the spine. The aim is to improve joint mobility and reduce pain. Spinal adjustments can help restore normal function and improve your quality of life.

Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to alleviate pain and discomfort. By inserting thin needles into specific areas, we release muscle tension and promote healing. This technique is beneficial for conditions like back pain, neck pain, and muscle cramps.

Massage Therapy
Massage therapy helps alleviate muscle tension and promote healing. Our therapists use manual techniques to improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance flexibility. This therapy is effective for conditions like neck pain, headaches, and low back pain.

Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to penetrate tissues, reducing inflammation and promoting healing. It is effective for soft tissue injuries, including strains and tendonitis. By stimulating blood flow, ultrasound therapy accelerates the healing process.

Shock Wave Therapy
Shock wave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to treat musculoskeletal pain. It helps stimulate tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation. Shock wave therapy is especially effective for tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, and calcific shoulder tendinopathy.

Flexion Traction
Flexion traction involves gently stretching the spine to reduce pressure on the discs. This treatment is effective for conditions like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. It helps improve spinal alignment and alleviates pain.

IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation)
IASTM uses specialised instruments to treat soft tissue injuries. This method helps break down scar tissue and improve blood flow to the affected area. It is highly effective for muscle and tendon injuries, improving flexibility and reducing pain.

How We Can Help You
Our centre offers a range of therapies to help you recover from injury and improve your mobility. We use the latest techniques to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and restore flexibility. Whether you have a sports injury or work-related pain, we can assist with your rehabilitation.

Understanding Your Back
The facet joints in your spine allow flexibility and mobility. However, when damaged, they can cause pain in the neck, back, and shoulders. At Helderberg Chiropractic Centre, we specialise in treating facet joint dysfunction, which is responsible for many cases of back pain.
