Chiropractic involves the diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the joints, muscles and nerves. Chiropractors consider the entire physical and emotional well-being of each individual patient and tailor the treatment according to the patient's specific needs.

​

Chiropractic is beneficial to people of all ages, from new-born to elderly, including expectant mothers! A variety of techniques are used, with the aim being to reduce pain, increase mobility and improve function. This includes low-force manipulation of the spine, manual treatment of the muscles and advice on therapeutic exercises.

​

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT):

SOT is a branch of Chiropractic based on the principle that the occiput (back of the skull) and the sacrum (base of the spine) move in a reciprocal fashion. The aim of SOT is to normalise the motion between these two areas, thus optimising the motion of the rest of the spine and the nerve supply from the spinal cord to the muscles and organs. This gets to the root of the problem and helps to eliminate any associated symptoms and compensatory movements you may have made as a result.

Nutritional Supplements:

When it comes to recovery from injury, your body can only heal as quickly as your nutrition allows. This is part of the reason why some people heal quickly whilst others heal very slowly. Whilst a balanced diet is essential for good health, the reality is that modern food often falls short of providing the key nutrient levels required for healing. To protect your alignment and calm inflammation, your body needs specific raw materials to rebuild. Therefore, to help bridge these nutritional gaps, we recommend specific clinical-grade supplements to support complete and optimal recovery. To see a range of supplements we recommend, click here.

Pregnancy:

Chiropractic care can provide great relief for pregnant patients. As your baby grows, it shifts your centre of gravity and places greater physical stress on your lower back and pelvis. Chiropractic care focuses on gently keeping your spine and pelvis aligned as your body changes. It also corrects any structural twisting, creating the freedom of movement your baby needs to get into the correct position for a smoother delivery. Chiropractic helps patients enjoy a more comfortable pregnancy, helping you manage the daily aches and pains, as well as help you to get a much better night's sleep until your new bundle of joy arrives.

​

Epley Manoeuvre: 

This is a technique used for patients suffering specifically from Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. It involves a series of movements to help orientate the crystals in the semicircular canals of the inner ear into the appropriate position. The manoeuvre takes about 15 minutes to complete, but taking the time on each motion allows a patient's symptoms to settle more completely.

Please note: After the Epley manoeuvre patients are advised not to drive for a few hours as the movement of the crystals can cause nausea and brief bursts of vertigo. Therefore, patients are instructed to have someone pick them up after their appointment or use public transport.
