Chiropractic

Our chiropractors are specialists in the field of diagnosing, treating, rehabilitating, and preventing musculoskeletal conditions. When you make an appointment with us, we will take the time to find out as much as we can about your history and your condition before giving you a diagnosis and suggesting the most appropriate treatment for your needs.

Chiropractors use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility. This may include hands on manipulation, however, this often forms just part of a package of care including advice on self help, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle changes and other adjunct therapies such as soft tissue work and dry needling acupuncture. We will always work together with you to come up with a treatment plan that suits your needs and preferences.

Dry Needling Therapy

Western medical acupuncture or dry needling acupuncture is a modality involving the insertion of fine needles. It acts mainly by stimulating the nervous system (sensory stimulation) and is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal pain.

Our chiropractors can perform dry needling acupuncture for pain, and can offer it as part of a wider approach that incorporates other treatments and interventions. When performed by a qualified professional, dry needling is a safe option you could try for pain management. The pain relief from this treatment is temporary.
