chiropractic
Various forms of adjustments using our hands and or equipment are used to deliver movement through joints particularly the spine. These adjustments may help muscles, joints and the nervous system to work better. This type of treatment is commonly used to reduce musculoskeletal pain and improve movement or stiffness.
DRY NEEDLING
A great way to provide relief for muscle pain, muscle stiffness and muscle tension. Very thin disposable needles are inserted into a muscles’ trigger point which may help to reduce pain and improve flexibility and range of movement. This therapy is often used to to help treat symptoms of sports injuries, muscle pain, chronic pain, neck pain, back pain, jaw pain and even fibromyalgia pain.
electrical stimulation (E-stim)
Used alongside dry needling to enhance its benefits. Fine acupuncture-style needles are gently inserted into a muscles trigger points then small clips connect the needles to an electrotherapy device that delivers a controlled electrical current. This current produces a rhythmic pulsing or twitching sensation to the muscles. The intensity can be adjusted for individualised comfort. By enhancing muscle relaxation and increasing circulation, electrical stimulation can help achieve deeper, longer-lasting relief compared to standard dry needling alone. It’s an effective treatment for a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, including neck and back tension, shoulder tightness, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions.
