Chiropractic Techniques
We use a range of evidence-based techniques to restore normal joint motion, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Spinal Adjustment Techniques
Diversified Technique
One of the most widely used chiropractic methods. It involves quick, precise adjustments to restore normal joint motion, reduce pain, and improve mobility.
Gonstead Technique
A hands-on technique that uses detailed analysis of your spine to deliver specific adjustments. It's particularly effective for targeting problem areas with accuracy.
Thompson Drop Technique
This method uses a special adjusting table with sections that gently "drop" as the chiropractor applies pressure. The drop assists the adjustment, making it lighter and very comfortable.
Activator Method
For patients who prefer a very gentle approach, the Activator is a handheld instrument that delivers a quick, low-force impulse to the spine or joints.
Extremity Adjusting
Chiropractic isn't just for the spine. We also adjust joints in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles to restore normal function and ease pain.
Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
A gentle method that uses wedge-shaped blocks under the pelvis to balance the spine and nervous system. Often helpful for pelvic alignment and posture.
We also use a range of non-manipulative techniques to complement spinal adjustments. These help release muscle tension, support healing, and improve posture and overall function.
Complementary Techniques
Proprioceptive Muscle Testing
Tests the muscle's ability to withstand external force. Our primary defense against injury relies on our sensory ability to detect forces and our motor response to protect ourselves from them.
Soft Tissue Techniques
We combine joint adjustments with soft tissue work to relieve tension in muscles and ligaments. This helps improve flexibility, circulation, and recovery. Can be done by hand or with specialist tools (IASTW).
Exercise and Rehabilitation
Tailored exercise programs to strengthen weak areas, improve flexibility, and prevent future injury. We guide you through movements that support long-term recovery.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
A dynamic treatment designed to soothe and rehabilitate persistent pain in muscles and joints. Propels acoustic waves into the affected area, promoting healing and reducing discomfort. Ideal for stubborn injuries or chronic conditions.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are hyperirritable knots in muscles that cause local pain and can refer pain to other parts of your body. Effectively treated with firm pressure, deep tissue massage, acupuncture, or stretching techniques.
Myofascial Dry Needling
Western-style acupuncture using very fine needles inserted at certain points to stimulate nerves and muscles, causing pain-relieving substances like endorphins to be produced. Aims to alleviate pain and kick-start healing.
Kinesio Taping®
Therapeutic taping technique that provides support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. Helps reduce pain and inflammation while supporting the healing process.
Lifestyle and Ergonomic Advice
We look at the bigger picture. From posture at your desk to lifting technique and everyday movement, we give advice to reduce strain and keep your spine healthier for the future.
Orthotic Insole Prescription
Custom orthotic insoles worn inside your shoes to control the alignment and function of the foot, treating or preventing injuries caused by misalignment of force through bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments.
