Chiropractic Care In Howick
Break Free from Pain and Injuries
Chiropractic care focuses on relieving and correcting musculoskeletal complaints such as back and neck pain.
The most common treatments performed by chiropractors are “chiropractic adjustments.” The purpose of an adjustment is to restore proper joint motion and stability by applying a controlled force to joints that have become restricted in their movement and/or irratated.
Joint pain, back pain, neck pain and other injuries are often caused by injury, improper lifting, repetitive movement stresses or sitting in awkward positions for extended periods of time.
Injured tissue undergoes physical and chemical changes that result in inflammation, pain and diminished function for the sufferer. The adjustment of affected joints restores mobility while alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing damaged tissue to heal.
Your first step in effective pain treatment
Our chiropractors work with patients to obtain a thorough health history and perform relevant clinical examinations to determine whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate or not.
It’s our job to help you be free from pain and healthy; we readily refer patients to other health professionals when chiropractic care is not suitable for their condition or when the condition warrants co-management with other members of a health care team.
Sports chiropractic
When you need more than spine care
Sports chiropractic is a specialty within the chiropractic profession that focuses on the comprehensive and holistic healthcare of physically active individuals and athletes.
It goes beyond general chiropractic care by emphasizing the unique musculoskeletal needs related to sports and exercise, with a focus on:
Injury Prevention and Treatment: Specializing in the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, such as strains, sprains, and joint dysfunctions, with the goal of returning the athlete to their sport as quickly and safely as possible.
Performance Enhancement: Working to optimize an athlete's physical function, biomechanics, range of motion, and nervous system to improve athletic performance.
Specialized Techniques: Often including additional training in areas like extremity (non-spine) adjustments, soft tissue therapies (e.g., massage, myofascial release), therapeutic exercises, and rehabilitation programs.
All of our chiropractors are trained in extremity adjustments as well as soft tissue therapies, and work with a wide range of athletes from weekend warriors to professionals.
