Services
Back Pain Care
Back pain can arise from a range of musculoskeletal factors, including posture, work demands, and physical strain. Chiropractic care begins with a thorough assessment to understand how spinal movement and surrounding structures may be contributing to your symptoms, allowing care to be tailored to your individual presentation.
Neck Pain & Posture
Neck pain and stiffness are commonly associated with postural strain, prolonged screen use, and everyday activities. Care focuses on assessing cervical joint movement, muscle tension, and posture, with the aim of supporting comfort, mobility, and functional movement.
Headaches & Migraines
Some headaches may be associated with musculoskeletal factors such as neck tension or joint restriction. Assessment helps identify potential contributors, with care aimed at supporting symptom management where appropriate.
Sports Injury Recovery
Sport and physical activity place specific demands on the body. Chiropractic care involves movement assessment and management strategies that may support recovery, functional movement, and a safe return to activity.
Sciatica Management
Sciatic symptoms can involve pain or altered sensation through the lower back, hips, and legs. Care begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify contributing musculoskeletal factors, followed by personalised management aimed at supporting movement and daily function.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care
Pregnancy is associated with changes in posture, joint mobility, and muscle load. Care is adapted to each stage of pregnancy and focuses on supporting comfort and mobility using gentle, pregnancy-appropriate approaches.
Paediatric Chiropractic
Children’s musculoskeletal systems change as they grow and develop. Paediatric chiropractic care uses gentle, age-appropriate assessment and management techniques, with clear explanations provided to parents to support informed decision-making.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology is used as part of a comprehensive chiropractic assessment to evaluate movement patterns and muscle function. Findings may assist in guiding personalised management alongside other examination information.
