Chiropractic Services

We offer a wide range of chiropractic services designed to address specific health issues. Our treatments include both traditional chiropractic adjustments and modern therapies for musculoskeletal conditions.

1. Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT)
   SMT involves applying a controlled, high-velocity thrust to a spinal joint. This technique increases mobility, reduces pain, and restores function, helping you achieve better spinal health.

2. Peripheral Joint Manipulation
   Similar to SMT, this treatment targets joints outside of the spine, such as the hips, knees, and ankles. It improves joint mobility, alleviates pain, and enhances overall function.

3. Dry Needling
   Dry needling helps to release tight, painful muscle knots. The technique involves inserting fine needles into specific trigger points in your muscles, promoting pain relief and muscle relaxation.

4. Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM)
   IASTM uses specialised instruments to treat soft tissue conditions. This technique improves blood flow, reduces muscle tension, and aids in muscle recovery.

5. Shockwave Therapy
   Shockwave therapy uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in soft tissues like tendons and ligaments. It helps relieve pain and promotes tissue regeneration.

6. Ischemic Compression
   This technique targets areas of muscle tension. It temporarily blocks blood flow to a specific area, and when released, it encourages increased blood circulation, promoting healing and pain relief.

7. Active Release Techniques (ART)
   ART helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions that form from repetitive use. By targeting and releasing these tension points, ART can relieve muscle tightness, pain, and discomfort.

8. Lumbar Spine Flexion Traction Technique
   This technique uses mechanical force to gently separate the lumbar vertebrae. It helps alleviate pressure on the spine and improves mobility in the lower back.

9. Dynamic and Kinesio Taping
   Kinesio taping provides support to muscles and joints. It helps correct joint movement patterns, support muscle function, and improve posture.
