What sort of treatment can I expect?

As Chiropractors we want to get you moving at your best. We use a variety of different techniques which aim to safely restore normal movement to the joints and surrounding muscles. We can also show you some quick and easy stretches to keep them moving while allowing your body’s own repair mechanisms do the healing.

We use a combination of techniques so there is something to suit everyone:

• Very low force adjustments: These help to restore the joints normal range of motion.
• Myofascial Release: The “layers” of muscles and fascia can become fibrous and “stuck”. We spend time each session working to release this tension by both hands on and tool assisted techniques.
• Activator assisted adjustments: this little tool replicates the same effect as an adjustment but without the need to use any pressure – making it suitable for patients who are very sore or where manipulation is not deemed appropriate.
• Importantly, home stretch and exercise advice.

Why do we use these techniques? Because they are so effective in releasing deep joint and muscle tensions. Many of the treatment techniques are extremely gentle. When you visit us, we will always start very gently and you always be involved and have a choice of treatment.
Whatever your problem, we`ll always choose the treatment that suits you best.

Does treatment hurt?

Sometimes there is some soreness after treatment, after all, we are treating a painful area. In most cases this will subside after a day or two.

We never forget that your health is our business and you can be sure we’ll always keep our touch as light and pleasant as possible. We want you to get better quickly … and stay that way.

If you are not sure, please just ring our clinic and we’ll be happy to discuss your concerns.
