Our chiropractors take a holistic approach, uncovering the root cause of your pain, not just masking it. We focus on treating musculoskeletal conditions for long-term relief.
Whilst more commonly chiropractic care is associated with the spine, it actually covers aches and pains throughout the entirety of the body.
Lower back pain is a widespread issue, affecting approximately 80% of adults at some point in their lives. It’s crucial that those experiencing this discomfort receive effective treatment.
Lower back problems can manifest as stiffness, soreness, sharp pain, and even leg pain or numbness. The causes of lower back pain are diverse, ranging from herniated discs and muscle strain to sciatica, pinched nerves, and general wear and tear.
Many of these conditions result in limited spinal mobility. This lack of movement between vertebrae can increase muscle tension and nerve irritation, leading to heightened pain.
Lower back pain is by far the most common complaint we encounter in our clinic. Through targeted chiropractic adjustments, we aim to improve spinal mobility, reduce nerve involvement and muscle tension, and alleviate pain, allowing the body to heal naturally.
The sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the human body, extends from the pelvis through the hip and buttocks and down the back of each leg. Sciatica refers to the inflammation of this nerve, causing pain that radiates along its path.
Symptoms of sciatica can include leg cramps, numbness, burning sensations, or a tingling sensation. Acute sciatic pain can be excruciating, often described as piercing or stabbing.
Neck pain is a widespread issue, affecting two-thirds of the population at some point in their lives. As lifestyles become increasingly sedentary, the upper back and neck regions are subjected to greater stress and strain.
Poor posture and high stress levels can also contribute to neck and shoulder pain. Common causes include road accidents, prolonged poor posture (such as excessive computer or mobile phone use), and physical or emotional stress. In many cases, neck and shoulder tension can lead to pain between the shoulder blades, headaches, arm pain, and even tingling in the fingers.
Headaches are so common that many people tend to ignore them. However, headaches are often caused by an underlying issue.
Common causes of headaches include neck joint problems, emotional stress, physical trauma, nutritional imbalances, and dehydration. To address your headaches effectively, we’ll conduct a detailed history, including questions about your posture and lifestyle, followed by a thorough examination.
After treatment, some patients experience immediate relief, while others may notice a gradual improvement in symptoms over several weeks, depending on the nature and severity of the problem.
By restoring proper alignment through chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors can help reduce nerve irritation and improve muscle function. This can result in decreased muscle tension, pain relief, and improved overall mobility.
We also use techniques such massage, dry needling, stretching, active release, class 4 laser therapy and IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue massage) to help release tight muscles that are causing you discomfort.
To effectively address your injury, we’ll need to identify its underlying cause. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment, asking about your sports activities, posture, medical history, and lifestyle. This information will help us understand why your performance has declined and make an accurate diagnosis.
We treat a wide range of sports injuries, from tendonitis to recurring muscle strains and sprains. When an injury occurs without a direct trauma, it often stems from faulty biomechanics or excessive strain on a particular area.
After treating the dysfunctional area we typically prescribe rehabilitation exercises and stretches to strengthen the injured area, improve flexibility, and prevent future problems.
Shoulder pain can originate from within the shoulder joint itself or from the surrounding muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Common causes include rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, arthritis, frozen shoulder, and overuse injuries.
Chiropractic care can effectively manage shoulder pain by assessing flexibility and strength, modifying activities, and employing techniques like dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue massage (IASTM), exercise, and class 4 laser therapy.
Frozen shoulder occurs when the connective tissue enclosing the joint thickens and tightens. Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin slowly, and then get worse over time.
Chiropractic care can help speed up the slow healing of frozen shoulder. Treatment and mobility exercises are utilised to restore movement and decrease pain.
These elbow conditions involve pain and tenderness on the outer or inner side of the elbow. Activities like gripping, wrist movement, bending the wrist, or lifting objects can be particularly painful.
Patients may also experience morning stiffness or tingling in the hand. The injury often results from repetitive overuse of the arm.
Hip pain can be an irritating and debilitating condition that impacts your daily life on a significant scale. Whether it’s caused by overuse, injury, or an underlying medical condition, seeking effective treatment is essential to regaining your quality of life.
Hip pain can start due to from many different reasons from muscle imbalances, misalignment, sciatica, arthritis and overuse activities.
Knee pain can be a debilitating condition that affects people of all ages. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that limits mobility and daily activities. Common causes of knee pain include injuries, arthritis, overuse, and underlying medical conditions.
Symptoms may include tenderness, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Knee pain can significantly impact quality of life, making it important to seek medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.
Ankle pain can be a frustrating and limiting condition that affects people of all ages. It can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that makes walking, running, or even standing difficult. Common causes of ankle pain include injuries, sprains, strains, arthritis, and overuse. Symptoms may include tenderness, swelling, stiffness, bruising, and difficulty bearing weight. Ankle pain can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
Chiropractic adjustments and mobilization can be used to restore proper joint function, reduce inflammation, and improve range of motion. This can help alleviate pain, improve mobility, and promote healing in the ankle.
Plantar fasciitis is a common condition characterized by pain in the heel of the foot, often worse in the morning or after prolonged periods of standing or walking. It is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes. Symptoms may include tenderness, stiffness, and difficulty walking or standing for long periods.
Class 4 deep tissue laser therapy offers a safe, pain-free, and effective solution for plantar fasciitis, addressing the root cause and promoting healing.
