The ChiroDynamics Approach
Treatment at ChiroDynamics is about more than simply easing pain. By blending hands-on therapy, gradual movement, and education, care helps you:
- Restore comfort and mobility
- Rewire overactive pain and protective movement responses
- Reclaim confidence in movement and quality of life
This integrated approach works from both the bottom up and the top down, supporting the body’s natural capacity to heal and adapt.
Move Well. Live Well.
Manual Therapy Techniques
Chiropractic Adjustments
Adjustments are precise, controlled movements applied to stiff or sensitive joints that aim to restore mobility, reduce muscle guarding, and ease irritation.
Dry Needling
Dry needling uses a very fine needle to release tight or hypersensitive points within a muscle. This can help calm overactive areas, improve local circulation, and ease referred pain.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy applies gentle, sustained pressure to sensitive muscle spots. It helps soften tight tissue, relieve referred pain, and restore more comfortable movement patterns.
Movement & Rehabilitation
Movement retraining is integrated into manual therapy to reinforce healthy patterns. It helps recalibrate the nervous system, improve load tolerance, reduce flare-ups, and build long-term resilience.
Education
A clear understanding of what’s happening in your body is central to recovery. Education is woven into every session to help reduce fear, improve self-efficacy, and support calm, informed decision-making.
Device-Assisted Therapy
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
ESWT uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate blood flow, promote tissue repair, and influence how the nervous system processes pain.
V-Actor Therapy
V-Actor delivers gentle vibration pulses that help muscles relax, improve local circulation, support tissue recovery. The rhythmic input also offers calming feedback to the nervous system, helping restore ease of movement.
TENS
TENS uses mild electrical currents to ease pain and muscle tension. It works by influencing how the nervous system processes threat signals; either by interrupting pain messages or by activating natural pain-relief pathways.
Common Presentations
Manual Therapy Conditions
- Lower back pain
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Nerve-related pain – tingling, numbness, or pain running into the legs or arms (sciatica and thoracic outlet syndrome)
- Tension Headaches
- Mid-back or rib pain – sometimes associated with restricted breathing mechanics
- Hip and pelvic discomfort
- Repetitive strain and overuse injuries
- Postural fatigue and movement control issues – when the body feels “stuck” or uncoordinated
- Persistent tension or tightness
- Chronic or complex pain conditions – such as fibromyalgia or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
Shockwave Conditions
- Jaw tension (TMJ dysfunction) – often linked to postural or muscle tension patterns
- Rotator cuff tendinopathies (incl calcific tendinopathy)
- Golfer’s elbow
- Tennis elbow
- Hamstring tendinopathies
- Knee Osteoarthritis – for pain linked to degenerative changes
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Plantar Fasciitis – heel pain due to overload of the plantar fascia
Whatever your presentation, pain is complex and rarely just a local problem; it’s a whole system experience. My approach ensures that each case is assessed through an integrated framework that considers the interaction between your nervous system, movement patterns, and daily activities. The combination of techniques that is right for you depends on your body, your story, and your goals.
