Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring mobility and reducing pain through tailored adjustments. Using techniques like Activator Methods and Diversified, we address conditions from back pain to sports injuries. Each treatment combines soft tissue work, lifestyle advice, and education to ensure long-term wellness. Patients receive customised plans addressing hydration, exercise, and stress management alongside manual therapies.
Paediatric Chiropractic
Specialised care for infants and children ensures optimal spinal development. Gentle Activator adjustments and light-touch techniques address birth trauma effects or developmental issues. Parents receive home-care guidance, including sleep positioning advice. Our team creates a comforting environment with toys and blankets to ease young patients during sessions focused on improving mobility and reducing discomfort.
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy-specific adjustments target pelvic alignment and posture to ease discomfort and prepare for labour. Using gentle techniques on pregnancy pillows, we address neck, shoulder, and sacrum pain while ensuring maternal and foetal safety. Custom care plans include monthly maintenance visits leading to pre-birth optimisation, helping reduce the need for medical inductions through natural body preparation.
Physiotherapy
Treating musculoskeletal conditions from sports injuries to arthritis, our physiotherapy combines manual therapy with exercise prescriptions. Specialised areas include respiratory support for COPD patients and neurological rehabilitation for stroke recovery. Personalised treatment plans incorporate balance training, gait analysis, and vestibular therapy to restore mobility and prevent future injuries through targeted strengthening programmes.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy accelerates healing for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. High-energy acoustic waves stimulate blood flow and tissue regeneration, breaking down calcifications while desensitising pain receptors. Sessions lasting 15-20 minutes target specific areas like shoulders, knees, or heels, often showing improvement after initial treatments for both acute and long-standing musculoskeletal issues.
