Our Chiropractic Services

Back Pain Treatment

Back pain is one of the most common medical complaints worldwide. It is also a leading cause of disability. Chiropractic care is proven to alleviate lower back pain and improve overall function. Dr. Scholtz uses chiropractic adjustments, mobilisation techniques, and soft tissue therapies to relieve pain, reduce reliance on medication, and improve mobility.

Neck Pain Treatment

Neck pain is another frequent reason people seek chiropractic care. Chiropractors use manipulation and mobilisation to address issues in the neck. Dr. Scholtz tailors her treatment plans to target both acute and chronic neck pain, helping to reduce pain and enhance the range of motion. Chiropractic care is often more effective than medication for relieving neck pain.

Headache Management

Cervicogenic headaches, caused by neck issues, and tension headaches are commonly treated with chiropractic care. Research shows that spinal manipulation can reduce symptoms of these headaches. Many patients experience significant improvement with chiropractic treatment, sometimes finding it more effective than traditional medications.

Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Pregnancy often places physical strain on the spine and pelvis. Chiropractic care can alleviate these pressures and correct misalignments. Proper pelvic alignment during pregnancy can also reduce the risk of a breech baby and ease the labour process. Dr. Scholtz ensures that care is safe and beneficial for both mother and baby.

Children’s Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is safe for children and can address various musculoskeletal problems such as delayed motor skills, postural issues, and discomfort. Research shows that children can benefit from chiropractic treatments for musculoskeletal health, as well as conditions like colic and digestive issues. Dr. Scholtz adapts treatment methods to suit the needs of children and infants.

Sports Injury Treatment

Dr. Scholtz has a special interest in sports injuries and prevention. Chiropractic care helps athletes recover from injuries and enhances performance. It focuses on restoring joint motion and function, preventing future injuries, and accelerating recovery. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, therapies such as dry needling and sports massage may be used to speed up healing.
