Although the basic tenets of Chiropractic are universal, there are many different approaches to treatment. Different treatment techniques suit different people and so we tend to use a mixture of techniques, tailoring treatment to the individual. In terms of analysis, our chiropractors use principles developed in Sacro Occipital Technique, Applied Kinesiology and motion palpation. Overall there is an emphasis on gentle effective techniques used to facilitate the body's own healing processes.

Skillful spinal manipulation should not be painful. Sometimes, working on muscles which are in spasm can be uncomfortable and so these procedures are used only when absolutely necessary. Chiropractic treatment is often sought because of its effectiveness in reducing pain of spinal origin.
