In addition to spinal adjustments, our practitioners integrate soft tissue therapies such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy, alongside structured rehabilitation exercises to support tissue healing, improve strength, and enhance functional outcomes.

what we do
What Chiropractic Care May Support?
Chiropractic care is a musculoskeletal and neurological healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders related to the spine and nervous system. The primary goal is to restore optimal biomechanical function, alleviate pain, and enhance the body's innate ability to heal.
A central focus of chiropractic care is optimal spinal biomechanics. When normal spinal motion becomes restricted or dysfunctional, it can create compensatory joint and muscular imbalances that heighten the risk of strain or injury. Limited spinal mobility may also interfere with the efficiency of the nervous system, reducing the quality of communication between the brain and body. This disruption can contribute to muscular weakness and may influence the function of other organs and physiological processes.
We understand that each persons needs are different. Whether someone is recovering from injury, seeking to manage a chronic issue or simply wanting to stay mobile and active, we provide an informed and customised based care on clinical findings, current symptoms, lifestyle and individual goals and preferences.
This patient tailored approach effectively manages acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions including
sports injuries,
sciatica,
disc herniations, and
repetitive strain injuries. By addressing both symptoms and underlying biomechanical dysfunctions, chiropractic care aims to reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I see a chiropractor?
The frequency of visits depends on the individual’s needs, condition severity and response to treatment. Some people benefit from short-term care for acute issues, while others incorporate chiropractic care as part of a longer-term wellness plan. Your chiropractor will recommend a schedule based on your initial consultation and progress over time.
What should I do in preparation for my visit?
To make the most of your chiropractic appointment, here are a few simple things you can do to prepare:
- Bring any relevant medical reports or imaging (X-rays, MRI scans, or notes from doctors or radiologists) if you have them available. These can help us better understand your condition and tailor your treatment.
- Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy movement and access to your back and neck, as some assessments and treatments require gentle movement or physical examination.
- Make a note of your symptoms, including when they started, what makes them better or worse, and any treatments you’ve tried so far. This information will help us get a clear picture of your health.
- Prepare a list of any medications or supplements you are currently taking.
Arrive a little early to complete any necessary paperwork and to ensure your appointment starts on time.
- If you have any questions or specific concerns, feel free to write them down so you don’t forget to ask during your visit.
Our team is here to make your experience smooth, comfortable, and effective. If you’re unsure about anything before your appointment, don’t hesitate to reach out!
What to expect when you come in to see a chiropractor.
When you visit our clinic, your first appointment will include a comprehensive consultation to understand your health history and current concerns. We take the time to listen carefully and gather detailed information about your symptoms, lifestyle, and any previous treatments.
Following the history, we conduct a thorough physical examination tailored to your specific presentation. This may include assessments of your posture, spinal mobility, neurological function, and musculoskeletal health to identify the root causes of your condition.
Based on these findings, we develop a personalized treatment plan designed to address your unique needs. Treatment may involve manual adjustments, instrument-assisted techniques, soft tissue therapies, and rehabilitation exercises, depending on your presentation.
We believe in empowering our patients, so we take the time to explain your diagnosis, the factors contributing to your condition, and how the proposed treatment will help you on the path to recovery.
While X-rays are not routinely required, they may be referred for if necessary to gain a clearer understanding of your spinal health or to rule out any contraindications.
Our goal is to provide safe, effective care that supports your health and wellbeing every step of the way.
