Conditions Treated

Summit Chiropractic treats a variety of musculoskeletal conditions. Some of the most commonly treated include:

Neck Pain
Neck pain is often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, or even more serious issues such as cervical spondylosis. Chiropractic care can help alleviate pain by restoring spinal mobility and relieving muscle tension.

Low Back Pain
Low back pain is widespread, with nearly 80% of people experiencing it at some point. It can arise from lifting, prolonged sitting, or degeneration. Chiropractic treatments target the root causes, improving mobility and reducing discomfort.

Sciatica
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve is compressed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling along the lower back and legs. Chiropractic care helps relieve pressure on the nerve, promoting healing and reducing symptoms.

Sports Injuries
Chiropractic treatment is effective for various sports injuries, such as muscle strains, joint sprains, and soft tissue damage. By improving spinal alignment and reducing inflammation, chiropractic care supports faster recovery.

Headaches
Cervicogenic headaches, which originate from the neck, can cause severe pain and stiffness. Chiropractic care helps manage these headaches by addressing the underlying neck issues, reducing pain, and promoting healing.

Whiplash
Commonly caused by car accidents, whiplash leads to neck sprains and strains. Chiropractic treatment can relieve symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and headaches, promoting faster recovery and restoring mobility.

Treatment Methods

Summit Chiropractic offers a range of effective treatments to suit each patient’s unique needs:

Spinal Adjustments
A spinal adjustment is a precise technique used to restore joint function and mobility. This method helps relieve pain and improves overall movement.

Dry Needling
Dry needling is an effective therapy for treating muscle trigger points. It increases blood flow to the affected area, helping to reduce muscle tension and pain.

TENS Therapy
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) is a safe and effective method for reducing pain. It works by inhibiting pain signals and promoting healing through gentle electrical currents.

Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping involves applying specialised tape to injured joints or muscles. It helps reduce swelling, support injured areas, and alleviate pain.

Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy uses sound waves to reduce inflammation and promote healing. It is especially effective for soft tissue injuries and joint pain.
