Chiropractic
A natural and conservative form of healthcare. The main focus of the treatment is the relationship between the function of the joints, muscles and the nervous system and the effect of these disorders on health. Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care from the elderly to newborn, pregnant women and athletes. A safe, gentle, drug-free alternative to relieve everyday aches and pains.

cranial therapy
Chiropractic treatment that uses a series of gentle manipulation of the cranium which influences the central nervous system and helps to regulate the sympathetic response ('fight or flight' and homeostasis). Particularly effective in babies, providing relief from irritability and persistent crying. Spinal and cranial restrictions can interfere with the body's natural ability to function so children also benefit hugely from chiropractic care.
DRY NEEDLING/ACUPUNCTURE
Dry needling is the use of a solid needle for therapy of muscle pain, sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation. Myofascial trigger points are palpable nodules of small contraction knots found in muscle that commonly cause pain. By deactivating and desensitising these trigger points, with the use of dry needling, the healing response in the tissue is stimulated. Acupuncture is also used in conjunction with other treatments by controlling pain pathways in acute and chronic pain.
SPORT & REMEDIAL MASSAGE
