What we do
CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractic care is a form of healthcare focused on conditions related to the spine, joints, and muscles. It also considers how spinal health affects the nervous system, particularly the spinal cord and surrounding nerves.
Chiropractors are licensed professionals trained to perform manual adjustments—precise, controlled movements applied to joints—often using their hands or specialized instruments and tables. These adjustments aim to restore better alignment, reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Chiropractic care is commonly used to help conditions such as: Back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint or muscle problems, upper and lower limb pains and poor posture.
Because of the close connection between the spine and the nervous system, chiropractic treatment may also positively influence overall health, not just musculoskeletal issues.

APPLIED KINESIOLOGY
Our use of applied kinesiology together with standard diagnostic procedures provides us with a holistic approach to your wellness. When evaluating your health, we will consider your structural, chemical and emotional condition. We look for the cause of your health problems and provide treatment especially suited to your needs. Applied kinesiology is a fantastic method for determining causes of recurring spinal dysfunction and other health complications.
Applied Kinesiology is a procedure which uses muscle testing, as a primary feedback mechanism, to examine how your body is functioning. Your chiropractor finds a muscle imbalance then attempts to determine why the muscle is not working correctly. This enables your chiropractor to determine the best form of treatment for you. Therapies may include; chiropractic spinal adjusting, cranial techniques, myofascial therapies, meridian therapies, clinical nutrition, dietary advice and emotion/stress reducing procedures.
Your chiropractor may test for environmental or food sensitivities by using a previously strong muscle and seeing what weakens it e.g. – chlorine, dairy, wheat/gluten, sugars, skin care products etc. Depending on the results, nutrition supplements and or a change of diet may be recommended. An extremely common cause of recurring health problems is gastro-intestinal tract dysfunction. Decreased intestinal vitamin and mineral absorption can lead to decreased body function and healing capabilities. An important aspect of our care is establishing what ingested products may be causing gut irritation and then also what can help restore proper absorption.
Applied Kinesiology can also determine whether muscle weakness and health complications are being caused by mental thought processes. If this is the case, our chiropractors can use another approach called Neuro Emotional Technique to establish and help remove this type of irritation.
Applied Kinesiologists use the triad of health as their model. The triad of health is interactive, a problem on one side of the triad can affect the other sides e.g. a chemical imbalance may cause mental/emotional problems. Applied Kinesiology enables the practitioner to evaluate the triad’s balance and direct therapy toward the imbalanced side or sides.
We would like you to consider our team as partners in your continuing good health. We can make a valuable contribution to your wellness, but it is essential that you take an active involvement too. Due to our holistic approach, we will often recommend that you make adjustments to your diet, your exercise habits, stress management and other lifestyle factors.
