Services
Chiropractic Clinic
Our chiropractic treatments address neuro-musculoskeletal conditions through spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue techniques. We manage back pain, neck pain, and posture-related issues caused by work, stress, or injury. Treatment plans include exercise advice and lifestyle modifications to prevent recurrence while maintaining patient comfort throughout the process.
Headache Clinic
Specialist headache treatment for tension-type, cervicogenic, and migraine conditions. We provide accurate diagnosis and management strategies through biomechanical assessment and collaboration with neurologists. Our approach combines manual therapy with medication review and lifestyle adjustments to reduce frequency and severity of headache episodes.
Sports Clinic
Sports injury rehabilitation for runners, golfers, cyclists, and skiers. We analyse biomechanics to identify movement restrictions and develop recovery plans incorporating soft tissue release and rehabilitation exercises. Treatment addresses common sports injuries while working with personal trainers to ensure safe return to activity.
Shockwave Therapy
Non-invasive shockwave therapy treats chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. This evidence-based treatment stimulates healing in musculoskeletal tissues through targeted acoustic waves. Typically requiring 4-8 sessions, it offers effective solutions for persistent tendon and muscle injuries resistant to conventional treatments.
Orthotics
Custom and off-the-shelf orthotics correct biomechanical foot issues affecting the entire musculoskeletal system. We provide gait analysis and collaborate with podiatrists to create tailored solutions that alleviate pain in feet, knees, hips, and back while improving overall body mechanics.
