We aim to provide exceptional chiropractic care. Our goal is help get you out of pain and prevent it from reoccurring, allowing you to perform at your full potential.
What you can expect from our chiropractor
Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions, including back and neck pain, sports injuries, sciatica, headaches, shoulder, hip and knee pain, soft tissue and tendon disorders.
At your first session we’ll take a thorough history about your presenting complaint, injury or pain. We’ll discuss your past medical history to help uncover any additional risk factors that could affect your recovery . Next we’ll discuss what your expectations are and what you would like to achieve from these treatment sessions.
We’ll then perform a thorough examination consisting of a number of physical, orthopaedic and neurological tests. This allows us to diagnose your complaint, give you a clear explanation of what is the cause is, how we’re going to treat it and how long we expect a your recovery to take.
Our Treatment Approach
When it comes to our chiropractic treatment we have a wide range of tools and techniques on offer. Our treatment approach is primarily “hands-on”. What it means is that we we use techniques such as dry needling, massage, myofascial release & cupping to help release tight soft tissues. People often associate chiropractic with spinal manipulation. Yes it’s one of the techniques that we use when indicated, but we have a strong focus on treating the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments etc) as well.
Correct movement of the joints is key to a faster recovery. We use a range of mobility joint mobilisation and manipulation techniques as used by physiotherapists and osteopaths that can be adapted to suit every body type and treatment preference.
