Low force techniques

I provide spinal care by choosing the correct techniques and degree of force, so that adjustments are comfortable and appropriate to you and your body type. These newer correction methods are even safer, more comfortable and more effective than ever before. I have expertise and qualifications in assessing other areas of your body including Feet, Ankles, Knees, Hips, Ribs, Jaw, Hands, Wrists, Elbows and Shoulders.

SOT (sacro-occipital technique)

Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) is a comprehensive, gentle and innovative technique of Chiropractic. It is so named because of the relationship between the Sacrum (base of the spine) and the Occiput (base of the skull).

The pelvis forms the foundational support of the human skeleton. It supports the upper body right up to the skull, and enables us to transfer our weight to our legs.

The spine holds our body upright, supports all of your organs and provides anchor points for our muscles. It also protects our delicate nervous system.

The nervous system controls our body, and can only function normally when our structures are balanced and our pelvis is stable.

Activator Instrument Adjusting

The Activator Method Chiropractic Technique is a gentle, low-force approach to chiropractic care. The technique has been used safely on patients of all ages since the late 1960s, bringing relief to people with a variety of health concerns.

Incorporating the latest advances in orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examinations, this unique system of administering spinal adjustments using research-based analysis and the Activator Adjusting Instrument can help restore spinal balance safely and comfortably.

Because of its effectiveness and gentle nature, the Activator Method has grown to become the world’s most widely-used instrument chiropractic technique.

Impulse Instrument Adjusting

The IMPULSE ADJUSTING INSTRUMENT® is the most technically advanced chiropractic adjusting instrument in the profession today.

The Impulse Adjusting Instrument is specifically tuned to the natural frequency of the body allowing the creation of more bone movement with less force and simultaneously stimulate greater populations of nerve receptors for more effective adjustments and better results.

Soft Tissue Therapy

(STT) is the assessment treatment and management of soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction primarily of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Soft tissue involvement is common in most spinal problems and will always be included in any chiropractic care regime when indicated.

Rehabilitation Process

Where appropriate we assist you with learning exercises which help strengthen and correct your posture or problem. These exercises can often be performed in the comfort of your own home or office, and can improve the effectiveness of your spinal correction by as much as 30-40%. Our simple and easy to follow DVD program will assist you during the course of your recovery and beyond.

Footlevelers Orthotics Foot Scan

Foot Levelers are custom-made orthotics which support and stabilise your spine and pelvis by correcting imbalances in your feet – the foundation of your skeletal system. These imbalances may occur even if you’re not experiencing foot pain. Though they may go unnoticed, these imbalances contribute to postural misalignments, pain in areas throughout your body and fatigue.

We arrange these custom-made stabilisers through an imaging process that we use in our office. First, we get a digital foot scan which captures an exact impression of your feet while you are standing, with your full weight on your feet. We determine which style is appropriate for you, and then the scan is sent to our laboratory where the custom made orthotics are created to correct any imbalances found in the three arches of your feet.

Your new Foot Levelers will be sent back to us and we then show you how to wear and care for them. For more information, click here.
