Chiropractor Manual Therapy

What does Chiropractic manual therapy include?
- Spinal and peripheral adjustments – this is a highly skilled technique that involves precision and control focusing on reducing pain and restoring alignment, movement and function
- Joint mobilisation – a gentle controlled movement that is applied directly to the affected joint aiming to improve range of motion and reduce stiffness. Essentially it works like an adjustment, just without the ‘crack’.
- Soft tissue techniques – deep tissue massage, myofascial release and trigger point therapy aiming to reduce muscle tightness
