Our Chiropractic Services

Dr Kelsi Holz offers a wide range of chiropractic services, designed to treat various musculoskeletal conditions and enhance overall wellness. These treatments aim to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and support long-term health. Below are the primary techniques provided at the practice:

Chiropractic Manipulation and Mobilisation

Chiropractic manipulation and mobilisation involve the application of a controlled, sudden force to a joint. This technique helps improve movement, reduce pain, and promote healing. It is particularly effective in treating conditions like back pain, neck pain, disc injuries, and other musculoskeletal issues.

Myofascial Dry Needling

Dry needling is a highly effective technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. By inserting thin needles into specific “trigger points,” Dr Kelsi releases muscle tightness, improves range of motion, and reduces pain. The process does not involve any medications or injectables, making it a safe and natural treatment option.

Soft Tissue Release Techniques

Soft tissue release techniques target muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. These techniques include massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Active release therapy and ischaemic compression are also used to reduce tension, improve movement, and enhance overall function.

Taping

Various taping methods, including kinesiology tape, dynamic tape, and rigid tape, are used to support muscles and joints. Taping provides stability, reduces pain, and helps with swelling, without limiting joint movement. It is particularly useful for treating sprains, strains, and joint instability.

Flexion-Distraction Technique

This non-invasive technique is primarily used to treat lower back pain, particularly in cases of herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Using a special chiropractic table, Dr Kelsi applies a gentle, controlled stretch to the spine. This approach is a less aggressive alternative to more invasive procedures, promoting healing and reducing pain.
