Our Services

Assessment

When you visit Dr Blundell’s clinic, your journey begins with a thorough assessment. Whether you are new to chiropractic care or have prior experience, the assessment helps Dr Blundell understand your specific needs. She takes time to listen to your concerns and assesses your physical condition, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your health challenges. This information allows for a personalised treatment plan, designed to address your individual goals and priorities.

Adjustment

A core component of chiropractic care, spinal adjustments are a safe and effective way to improve spinal health. During your first adjustment, Dr Blundell will explain the process and what you can expect. Adjustments involve applying controlled pressure to the spine to correct misalignments, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. This technique is effective for a range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Dr Blundell ensures that each adjustment is tailored to the needs of the patient, providing relief and enhancing overall well-being.

Mobilisation

If you prefer a more gradual approach to chiropractic care, mobilisation might be the right option for you. This technique involves gentle movements designed to increase the range of motion in your joints and reduce stiffness. Mobilisation is particularly beneficial for patients who may have a fear of more intense spinal adjustments. It helps in restoring normal joint movement without the high-velocity thrust typically associated with adjustments, making it an ideal alternative for many individuals.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique used to treat myofascial pain caused by muscle knots or trigger points. Using thin, sterile needles, Dr Blundell targets specific areas of tightness within the muscle tissue, providing relief from pain and improving flexibility. Dry needling is particularly effective for treating conditions like chronic neck pain, back pain, and sports injuries. This technique can complement your chiropractic care, promoting faster healing and enhancing muscle function.

Soft Tissue Techniques

At Dr Blundell’s clinic, multiple methods of soft tissue treatment are available to help address muscle-related issues. These techniques are used to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote healing in the muscles and fascia. Dr Blundell may use techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, or trigger point therapy, depending on your specific needs. Soft tissue treatments are often incorporated into a chiropractic care plan to optimise recovery from injuries and reduce muscle-related discomfort.
