Services Offered

Dr Mark Aaron offers a wide range of chiropractic treatments tailored to meet the individual needs of his patients. His services include:

1. Spinal Adjustments:
Chiropractic adjustments involve applying controlled force to joints, particularly in the spine, to restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve overall function. These adjustments are precise and safe, helping to correct joint and muscle imbalances.

2. Dry Needling Therapy:
This technique involves inserting fine needles into myofascial trigger points (muscle “knots”) to relieve pain, increase blood flow, and reduce muscle tension. Dry needling is particularly effective for sports injuries, chronic pain, and muscle stiffness.

3. Kinesio Taping:
Kinesio taping provides support to muscles and joints while allowing for full range of motion. It helps reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and support the healing process.

4. Soft Tissue Therapy:
Soft tissue therapy is a targeted clinical massage technique that focuses on reducing muscle tightness and tension, improving flexibility, and increasing joint mobility.

5. Exercise Therapy:
Dr Aaron develops customised exercise programmes that help strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. These exercises are designed to support recovery, enhance mobility, and prevent future injuries.

6. Health and Wellness Advice:
Beyond physical treatments, Dr Aaron provides valuable advice on lifestyle changes, ergonomics, posture, and nutrition to help patients maintain long-term health and avoid recurring issues.
