Services
Chiropractic care
Our chiropractic treatment addresses neuromusculoskeletal issues through spinal manipulation and joint adjustments. We specialise in relieving back pain, neck pain, and headaches using hands-on techniques. Each session includes posture analysis and tailored exercise prescriptions to improve mobility and prevent recurrence. Patients benefit from our practitioners' decades of experience and ongoing professional development.
Shockwave therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses acoustic waves to accelerate healing in chronic tendon conditions. We treat plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and Achilles tendinitis with 2-5 sessions typically required. The treatment stimulates blood flow and breaks down scar tissue, providing lasting relief for sports injuries and repetitive strain conditions.
Soft tissue mobilisation
Our manual therapy techniques target muscle tension and fascial restrictions through deep tissue massage and myofascial release. This improves circulation, reduces pain, and restores normal movement patterns. Combined with stretching exercises, it effectively treats chronic muscle stiffness and postural imbalances.
Medical acupuncture
We integrate acupuncture into treatment plans to manage musculoskeletal pain and inflammation. Fine needles stimulate specific points to release endorphins and improve blood flow. This evidence-based approach complements manual therapy for conditions like chronic back pain, osteoarthritis, and tension headaches.
Functional rehabilitation
Personalised exercise programs address individual weaknesses and movement patterns. Using the Physitrack app, patients receive guided home exercises to improve core stability, flexibility, and posture. This proactive approach prevents recurrence and enhances overall musculoskeletal health.

Are treatments covered by insurance?
Many private health insurers cover chiropractic care. Check with your provider for specific coverage details. We provide receipts for potential reimbursement from insurance plans.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies by condition. Acute issues may resolve in 4-6 sessions, while chronic conditions require longer care. We re-evaluate progress regularly to ensure effective, efficient treatment.
