CHIROPRACTIC SPECIFIC TECHNIQUES

Soft tissue techniques
  • A mixture of techniques and styles.

    We use our hands to find motion restrictions in the spine and joints, and to apply a manipulation to the fixated joint/s to restore movement.

  • A full spine adjusting technique that utilises the ‘drop mechanism’ of the Chiropractic table.

    A gentle thrust is applied to the spine or joint, while part of the table is ‘proped up’ and drops down via the thrust.

  • A gentle technique to improve the function between the head, pelvis and spine.

    It involves the use of ‘blocks’ and gravity to gently traction joints and thus to relieve tension on nerves and muscles.

  • A technique of choice for spinal rehabilitation and postural correction by utilising traction and orthotics as well as adjustments.

  • A highly specific, powerful adjustments of the spine. Using X-rays, palpation, instrumentation and visualisation to remove nerve interferences.

  • An instrument assisted adjustment device. Used for specific treatment of spinal joint problems. Especially effective for patients who’s conditions would not tolerate physical manipulation.

SOFT TISSUE TECHNIQUES

  • We use different types of myofascial release to help loosen muscles, joints and the thin layer around your muscles.

  • Technique to reduce local very tender and irritated bands in the muscles also known as ‘knots’.

  • Cross friction therapy aids in the breakdown of scar tissue and adhesions within muscles and tendons.

  • A western form of acupuncture. Which can be effective to help reducing muscle spasm and trigger points.

  • A technique which can alleviate pain, facilitate lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling.

  • This technique is beneficial for disc related issues, especially if they travel down into a limb.
