Chiropractic: what we do
During your initial appointment we perform a clinical assessment and contraindication screening. We then design an individual plan that may include spinal manipulation (HVLA) when appropriate, joint mobilisations and a targeted exercise programme to build stability and motor control.
Before any technique, we explain the purpose, expected benefits and possible transient effects (such as mild soreness) and obtain informed consent. If manipulation is not indicated – or you simply prefer not to have it – we use equally effective conservative strategies: low-load mobilisations, soft-tissue techniques, direction-specific exercises and movement re-education.
Chiropractic: indications
- Spine
Low back pain, neck pain, mid-back stiffness, mechanical spine pain, cervicogenic headache.
Goals: reduce pain, restore segmental mobility, improve the quality of everyday movements (sitting, standing up, bending) and support a graded return to the activities you enjoy. - Function & Performance
Aims: improve segmental mobility, decrease pain and guide a progressive return to daily life and sport with shared progression criteria.
For active individuals, we integrate functional testing (squat, hip hinge, single-leg balance) and weekly milestones. We add dynamic stability and reactive training to lower reinjury risk and build confidence in higher-demand movements.
Safety & Informed Consent
Manipulative techniques are offered only when clinically indicated and after informed consent. Where contraindications exist, we employ conservative alternatives—mobilisations, exercises and manual therapy.
Our clinical screening identifies situations in which manipulation should be avoided; in these cases, the focus remains on pain, function and your personal goals, with a personalised, progressive and closely monitored plan.
