My Approach
Chiropractic involves the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of mechanical disorders of the spine and musculoskeletal system.
I especially focus on the relationship between joints, muscles & other soft tissues and the nervous system.
Together with my focus on spinal problems I also am involved in the treatment of joint and muscle pain in the arms and legs.
My Emphasis
I have a particular emphasis on the soft tissues (especially muscles, tendons & ligaments) as they have a profound influence on the movement and stability of the joints of the musculoskeletal system.
Each component requires specific attention, so I apply ‘muscle techniques to the muscles’ such as ultrasound, massage & exercises; and ‘joint techniques to the joints’ including various manipulation techniques & traction… …a simple sounding concept but not always applied.
Common Conditions
I offer care for the large range of mechanical disorders that produce neck, back & extremity pain and dysfunction, but also maintain special interest in the management of certain conditions including:
Postural Imbalances
TMJ Problems (Jaw)
Headaches
Disc Conditions
Scoliosis
Breathing Disorders
Repetitive Use Syndromes
And many more…
Health Care is a ‘2 Way Street’
MY responsibility is to provide assistance to treat your condition to help produce a favourable outcome.
It is then YOUR opportunity to follow the suggested treatment advice, make relevant lifestyle changes, where necessary, and follow exercise recommendations to promote favourable outcomes.
It is my pleasure to cooperate with your other health care providers when necessary to provide a holistic care approach and to refer you elsewhere when it is appropriate for a comprehensive assessment.
