A Doctor of Chiropractic is registered with a licensing body. They are a regulated profession.
Chiropractors have long been thought of as someone who ‘cracks’ your spine; which is known as ‘adjustments’.
There is so much more to Chiropratic than adjustments.
An experienced chiropractor does a full bio-mechanical and neurological assessment because your nervous system is connected to your muscles, ligaments and joints.
Your posture and alignment of all parts of your body is assessed.
Soft tissue manipulation is part of chiropractic care. This technique stretches muscles that are in spasm or tight and constricted.
It is also used on ligaments and tendons.

Dry needling is used to release tension and spasm. It is very effective. Medical cupping is used to treat adhesions and for fascial release. Adhesions form when you injure muscles. Think of it like scar tissue. Fascia is the lining over the muscle. It can have adhesions or get ‘tight’. Releasing this helps the muscle pain be relieved more effectively.

Chiropractic works well to treat all sorts of pain:

  • Muscle Spasm
  • Headaches
  • TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction
  • Back Pain
  • Arthritis
  • Tendinitis
  • Bursitis
  • Tenosynovitis
  • Whiplash
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Impingement
  • Impingement
  • Muscle or Ligament Strain

Chiropractic also works well to protect your posture and enhance athletic function. You do not need to be in pain to see a chiropractor. You can have maintenance treatments to keep your muscles and ligaments and tendons in optimal function to protect against future injuries in the case of over-exercise or a slip and fall or other injury.
