Treatment Services at Chiro Sandton

1. Chiropractic Adjustments
   Chiropractic adjustments apply controlled force to a joint. This can restore its range of motion, relieve musculoskeletal pain, and support better posture.
2. Massage Therapy
   Massage therapy helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain. It also supports mental well-being by reducing stress and improving sleep quality through the release of endorphins.
3. IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation)
   Also known as the Graston technique, IASTM uses a specialised instrument to gently scrape the skin. It targets areas of restriction or tightness. It can help break up scar tissue, reduce pain, and improve function.
4. Dry Cupping
   Dry cupping creates suction on the skin. This promotes blood flow, eases pain, and supports healing at the cellular level by replenishing blood in the targeted area.
5. Kinesiology Taping
   Kinesiology taping supports muscles and joints without limiting movement. It may also improve circulation and reduce inflammation by gently lifting the skin.
6. Active and Passive Release Techniques
   These techniques reduce muscle tension by applying pressure to specific areas. At the same time, the patient or practitioner moves the affected region through its full range of motion. They are ideal for adhesions caused by repetitive use or muscle overload.
7. TENS and EMS Therapy
   TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) uses electrical impulses to block pain signals to the brain and stimulate the release of natural painkillers called endorphins. EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) sends electric pulses to injured muscles. This helps them exercise passively and supports recovery.
