Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments restore joint mobility and alleviate pain through controlled spinal manipulations. This treatment addresses back pain, neck pain, and musculoskeletal imbalances by correcting vertebral misalignments. Patients benefit from improved nerve function and reduced inflammation, supporting long-term recovery from chronic or acute conditions.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points for pain relief and muscle relaxation. This evidence-based technique targets trigger points in soft tissues, effectively managing sports injuries, headaches, and chronic pain. Combined with chiropractic care, it enhances recovery and promotes natural healing processes.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy employs hands-on techniques to treat joint, muscle, and nerve pain holistically. Practitioners use mobilisation, soft tissue work, and rehabilitation exercises to address conditions like sciatica and osteoarthritis. Treatment focuses on improving mobility and reducing pain through individualised, patient-centred approaches.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injury rehabilitation combines manual therapy and exercise prescription to accelerate recovery from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. Tailored programmes restore function and prevent re-injury through biomechanical assessments and targeted strengthening exercises. Athletes receive sport-specific advice to maintain performance during recovery.
Laser Therapy
MLS laser therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation and promote tissue repair for chronic pain conditions. This non-invasive treatment accelerates healing in joints, muscles, and soft tissues, offering effective relief for arthritis, tendonitis, and post-surgical recovery without medication or side effects.
