Services

Dr Cunningham offers a range of chiropractic services tailored to meet the unique needs of every patient. From infants to adults, her treatments aim to provide long-lasting relief from pain and discomfort.

Paediatric Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care for babies and children ensures that their growing bodies function properly. Dr Cunningham uses gentle techniques such as joint release and soft tissue massage to help treat conditions like colic, feeding difficulties, and musculoskeletal imbalances.

Chiropractic sessions are designed to be fun and engaging for children, allowing parents and siblings to join in. This makes the experience enjoyable for the whole family, while also addressing important health concerns.

Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy brings many physical changes. Chiropractic care during this time helps balance the body, reduce pain, and support healthy alignment. Dr Cunningham works with expectant mothers to ease pregnancy-related discomforts, such as pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, and headaches.

Chiropractic treatments not only target pain relief but also support the overall health of both the mother and baby. Postpartum care is also available, assisting with recovery from the physical challenges of childbirth.

Adult Chiropractic Care

Dr Cunningham uses Diversified Chiropractic techniques to restore normal joint movement, particularly in the spine. She applies high-velocity, low-amplitude force to restricted joints, which helps alleviate pain and improve mobility.

She also combines soft tissue treatments like dry needling, massage, and electrotherapy. Flexion distraction traction is used for patients with disc disorders or pinched nerves. Dr Cunningham provides patients with rehabilitation exercises to continue improving at home.

Sports Injuries

For athletes, chiropractic care is vital for improving performance and preventing injuries. Dr Cunningham provides spinal and extremity adjustments to help optimise joint range of motion and enhance biomechanics. This leads to better performance with fewer physical challenges.
