Our Approach
Your joints are designed to move. When they stop moving properly unfavourable things happen. We see changes in posture, limited ranges of motion and stiffness. If left moving not enough or too much this can result in pain and injury. The Chiropractors at North Shore Chiropractic look at you as a whole so that we not only address to painful areas but also the dysfunctional areas which can often prolong your condition.
Based on our findings, your history, body type and preference we choose the joint therapy that is best suited to you. These include manual adjustments, instrument assisted adjustments and mobilisation combined with:
- soft tissue releases / massage
- shock wave therapy
- dry needling
- rehabilitation / corrective exercises / strength plans
Why?
When your joint aren’t moving properly this puts pressure on surrounding areas of the body which can lead to injury and pain.
What do I do about it?
Find the hidden problem area with an initial appointment. Once we know the problem areas and tailor a treatment plan to you, you will save both time and money by:
- Increasing the specificity of treatments
- Teaching you to look after the hidden problem areas
- Reducing the overall number of treatment sessions instead of working with your symptoms alone.
