Our chiropractors treat back pain through spinal manipulation, massage, and rehabilitation exercises. We address acute injuries and chronic conditions like disc degeneration, helping patients regain mobility and reduce discomfort. Treatment plans include posture advice and ergonomic adjustments for long-term relief.
Neck Pain
Specialised care for neck pain caused by poor posture, whiplash, or muscle tension. Techniques include gentle adjustments, ultrasound therapy, and dry needling to alleviate stiffness and headaches. We provide ergonomic workstation assessments to prevent recurrence.
Sports Injuries
Treatment for sports-related injuries using joint mobilisation, kinesiology taping, and tailored exercise programs. We focus on restoring function and preventing re-injury through biomechanical analysis and rehabilitation specific to the patient's sport or activity.
Arthritic Problems
Gentle chiropractic techniques to improve joint mobility and reduce inflammation in arthritis patients. Combined with lifestyle advice and home exercise programs, our approach aims to maintain joint health and slow condition progression.

Targeted treatment for tension headaches and migraines through cervical adjustments and muscle release techniques. We identify triggers like poor posture or jaw alignment issues, offering corrective strategies to reduce frequency and severity.

Report
A very professional business from booking in to the treatment given. Unlike other companies I have used in the past they are open the hours needed for busy working people, including Saturday mornings. Melanie is a great chiropractor and has helped me no end with a couple of different issues. I will and have recommended the centre to other people.
