Chiropractic

Our chiropractors will take a thorough medical history, followed by extensive orthopaedic, neurological and muscular testing to help determine the cause of your pain or dysfunction and evaluate the best course of action. This may mean referral for imaging or to a GP or specialist for further investigation.

Our treatments consist of a variety of techniques, based on what the research says is most effective for your condition. They may consist of joint mobilisations or adjustments, Soft tissue techniques, active release, shockwave therapy, dry needling, Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), taping techniques as well as rehabilitation exercises in our specialised rehab gym on site.

The Chiropractic adjustment is a recognised and effective form of manipulative therapy1. It is a specific and controlled pressure applied to a joint to restore lost motion and is not painful. Adjustments provide a means for drug free relief of symptoms and are used where necessary to treat the cause of a symptom. When combined with exercise programs, adjustments have been proven to produce long term benefits2. Based on your diagnosis, your practitioner will determine if you require a stretching or strengthening programme to help you to achieve maximal results from your body.

The “crack” sound is the sound of gas being release from a joint. Fluid is present in most of our joints and its job it to create lubrication to aid movement. When a joint is not moving an adjustment can be applied to restore motion. When the joint is moved, the joint capsule is stretched and the fluid within the capsule is turned to gas which forms bubbles and a “crack” like sound is heard.

Chiropractic, manual therapy and exercise/rehabilitation works to improve your strength and mobility. To get the best out of your body it requires the best training, nutrition, mental preparation and movement. Sports training can cause your body to produce tough, dense scar tissue. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker and joints move less. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. When muscles and joints can move without restriction in a full range of motion, power, speed and agility is maximised.
