Chiropractic Manipulation and Mobilization
Applying a controlled, sudden force to a specific joint segment to improve the movement and function of the joint, reduce pain and promote healing. Often used to treat back pain, neck pain, disc injuries and other musculoskeletal conditions. The process may involve a quick popping sound, which happens when gases are released from the joint.
Myofascial Dry Needling
A highly effective therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves inserting thin, solid needles into specific "trigger points" within muscle tissue to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and reduce muscle tightness. The term "dry" refers to the use of a needle without any medication or injectables. This technique aims to release tight knots or muscle spasms and improve overall muscular function.
Soft Tissue Release Techniques
ocus on muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia. They aim to relieve pain, reduce tension and improve movement. Techniques used include massage, trigger point therapy (pressure applied to muscle knots), myofascial release (therapy targeting fascia around tight muscle areas), active release (releasing tension through movement) and ischaemic compression (depriving an area of dysfunction of blood flow for a short period of time which then flushes fresh blood through the area upon release of pressure from the area)
Taping
Utilizing various taping materials (kinesiology tape, dynamic tape, rigid and elastic tape) to support muscles, joints and ligaments while still allowing for movement and flexibility. Main uses include support and stability, pain relief, swelling reduction and proprioceptive input. Most commonly used for sprains, strains, joint instability, particularly in injury and athletes.
Flexion-distraction
Is a chiropractic technique used primarily to treat lower back pain, especially involving conditions like herniated disc's and spinal stenosis. It involves using a special chiropractic table that allows the chiropractor to gently stretch and "distract" (or pull apart) the spine while applying a controlled flexion motion. It is a non-invasive treatment that is a gentler alternative to more aggressive interventions.
