Chiropractic is a primary health care profession which is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and management of a range of musculoskeletal complaints including back, neck and joint pain.

It is a safe and effective treatment, which primarily works by restoring normal function to joints, nerves, muscles, tendons and ligaments, allowing them to function at their optimum, which therefore promotes healing and helps to prevent injury.

The most common form of treatment is an adjustment or manipulation, which involves your chiropractor using their hands to perform precise, quick and small movements into joints, to try and restore their normal function. You may hear a click or a pop during the manipulation; this is a normal response to the manipulation.

Issues that Chiropractors can help with include:

Acute & chronic back pain with or without sciatica
Mechanical neck pain
Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic) and Migraine prevention
Joint pains including the hip and knee
Shoulder complaints including rotator cuff injuries
Elbow pain and tennis elbow
Ankle sprain
Plantar Fasciitis
Generalised aches and pains
Minor sports injuries
Muscle spasms
Cramp
Tension and inability to relax

Sports Therapy Treatment includes the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of injury.

A thorough assessment will take place to assess various joint range of motion movements within the musculoskeletal system, this will involve working across various planes of motion; Sagittal (Left and Right), Frontal (Anterior and Posterior) as well as Transverse (Upper and Lower Extremities) this means an exercise plan can be created with recommended corrective exercises to be carried out on a regular basis.
