Physical therapy → Techniques
Tools we use A wide set of tools, so the treatment fits the person, not the other way around.
01 Diversified manipulation The classic hands-on adjustment: a precise, controlled thrust to restore motion in a restricted joint.
02 Activator® / ArthroStim® Instrument-assisted adjusting. Low force, high precision, and a good fit for patients who prefer no manual thrust.
03 Drop table technique A segmented table that drops with the adjustment, reducing the force needed to move the joint.
04 Trigger point therapy Sustained pressure on taut, tender bands of muscle to release spasm and restore length.
05 Active Release Soft-tissue work applied through movement, to free adhesions between muscle, fascia and nerve.
06 Spinal decompression Mechanical traction that unloads the disc and reduces pressure on an irritated nerve root.

Conditions
Common reasons people come in Back & spine 4 Low back pain What it is
Ache or stiffness in the lumbar spine, often from a joint, disc or muscle that has stopped moving well.
How we approach it
Adjustments to restore joint motion, then core and hip strength work so the back tolerates load again.
Request an appointment → Sciatica What it is
Pain, tingling or numbness that travels from the low back or buttock down the leg, following an irritated nerve.
How we approach it
We find where the nerve is being irritated, take pressure off it, and add nerve glides and strengthening as symptoms settle.
Request an appointment → Disc irritation What it is
A bulging or irritated spinal disc that can cause back pain, leg pain, or both. Bending and sitting usually make it worse.
How we approach it
Decompression and low-force techniques to unload the disc, plus directional exercise you can repeat at home.
Request an appointment → Thoracic stiffness What it is
A locked-up mid back, common with long hours sitting. It often shows up as neck or shoulder trouble.
How we approach it
Mobilisation of the mid-back joints and ribs, paired with extension and rotation drills.
Request an appointment → Neck & headaches 4 Neck pain What it is
Stiffness or pain in the cervical spine, often tied to desk posture, sleep position or an old injury.
How we approach it
Gentle joint work and soft-tissue release, then deep neck and upper back strengthening.
Request an appointment → Whiplash What it is
A neck strain from a sudden acceleration, most often a car accident or a sports collision. Symptoms can appear days later.
How we approach it
Early, gentle mobility work, then graded strengthening as the tissue tolerates it.
Request an appointment → Tension headaches What it is
A band of pressure around the head, often driven by tight neck and shoulder muscles.
How we approach it
Trigger point and soft-tissue work on the muscles involved, plus posture and workstation changes.
Request an appointment → Cervicogenic headaches What it is
Headaches that start in the joints of the upper neck and refer pain to the head, usually on one side.
How we approach it
Treatment of the upper cervical joints and the deep neck muscles that support them.
Request an appointment → Sport, surgery & life stages 2 Prenatal pelvic pain What it is
Low back, pelvic or hip pain during pregnancy as load and ligaments change.
How we approach it
Gentle, pregnancy-appropriate techniques and positioning, with exercise to support the pelvis.
Request an appointment → Pediatric care What it is
Growing bodies get sports injuries, posture-related pain and growth-related aches too.
How we approach it
Age-appropriate, low-force care and exercise, with parents involved in the plan.
