Services
Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal adjustments use diversified techniques to correct joint dysfunction and alleviate pain. This treatment improves mobility and nervous system function through controlled force application. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and accelerated recovery for conditions like sciatica and disc problems.
Myofascial Release
Specialised myofascial release targets restrictions in connective tissue to relieve chronic pain. Sue's advanced training enables effective treatment of shoulder, knee, and fibromyalgia-related discomfort through sustained pressure techniques that rehydrate fascial tissues.
Dry Needling
Dry needling reduces muscle spasms and pain through targeted needle insertion. This evidence-based technique interrupts pain signals and promotes localised muscle relaxation, particularly effective for trigger points and sports-related injuries.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound accelerates soft tissue healing by increasing blood flow and tissue elasticity. This modality effectively treats sprains, strains, and chronic injuries by promoting cellular repair and reducing scar tissue formation.
Epley Manoeuvre
The Epley manoeuvre resolves benign paroxysmal positional vertigo through precise head positioning. This non-invasive technique repositions inner ear crystals causing dizziness, providing rapid relief for balance disorders and associated headaches.
