Our Services
At Hughes Chiropractic-Westville, we provide a broad range of treatments to address a variety of musculoskeletal issues. Our services include:
1. Spinal Adjustments
Spinal adjustments involve the controlled movement of joints within their natural range of motion. This safe procedure not only helps relieve pain but also improves mobility and promotes overall well-being.
2. Dry Needling Therapy
Dry needling is an effective technique for treating myofascial trigger points (commonly referred to as muscle “knots”). It involves inserting fine needles into these points to relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve muscle function.
3. Strapping and Bracing
We utilise specialised strapping and bracing methods to support joints and muscles during the healing process. These techniques are especially beneficial for sports injuries and rehabilitation.
4. Electrotherapy
Our electrotherapy treatments involve the use of electrical currents to manage pain and support recovery. Devices such as interferential current (IFC) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) help reduce inflammation, promote healing, and alleviate discomfort.
5. Chiropractic Manipulation, Mobilisation, and Traction
These techniques involve moving joints within their safe range of motion, often producing a gentle popping sound called a cavitation. This treatment is highly effective in restoring normal function to the spine and joints.
6. Soft Tissue Therapy
We offer soft tissue therapy using hands-on techniques or specialised instruments. This therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing in affected areas.
7. Temperature Therapy
Temperature therapy uses heat or cold to treat a variety of conditions. We may recommend cold or heat pads, as well as advanced devices like ultrasound and laser, to reduce pain and inflammation.
