TREATMENT
Chiropractors use many different 'tools' to help treat your source of pain. This will be tailored to your individual case.
Our 'Tools'
Manipulation
The main treatment we use is manipulation, also known
as an adjustment.
It is a quick controlled force to specific joint region to relieve pain, discomfort, and increase mobility. It should net be painful, but can sometimes be uncomfortable due to inflammation and muscle spasm in the area.
​
We also use...
Mobilisation and blocking
On occasions, other techniques using either blocks (wedge shaped cushions) or an activator (a spring loaded tool that can give a different kind of manipulation) can be used.
Soft Tissue Work
When the muscles are spasming or shortening to protect, it is advantageous to work on them too.
This massage like treatment can aid the manipulation and help with the overall recovery of musculoskeletal conditions.
Ultra sound
Ultrasound therapy is an electrical therapy, where a wave of energy is sent into the tissues. It can aid with reducing pain, swelling and inflammation
