Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a complementary medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Treatment involves manipulations, mobilisations, soft tissue work and other modalities.
The purpose of this treatment is to reduce pain, allow joints to move at their optimum and help the nervous system to operate to its potential.
Most people believe that Chiropractors only treat the spine; and whilst the majority of chiropractic treatments are centred around the spine, any joint can be adjusted and many people get treatment for other injuries. For example, shoulder or knee injuries or common tendinopathies such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a procedure in which thin filament needles are inserted directly into myofacial trigger points. A trigger point is "knot" in a muscle; these knots are often signs of neuromuscular dysfunction and generally occur in areas of musculoskeletal stress. They can be the cause of both acute and chronic pain. The aim of the needling is to reduce pain as well as changing imbalances that are caused due to the muscles not being able to fully lengthen.
