Treatment
ADJUSTMENTS
Chiropractors are highly skilled in providing targeted, high velocity, low amplitude adjustments, with the aim of:
- providing relief from chronic pain
- encouraging gentle realignment
- increasing range of motion
- reducing nerve irritability and
- improving overall function.
Adjustments are very effective in treating neck/back pain and associated symptoms. Studies show the benefits of chiropractic adjustments for both tension and migraine headaches caused by back pain or misalignment. Adjustments have also been shown to reduce inflammation which can reduce muscle tension and provide joint relief.
Soft tissue
Soft tissue therapy can help with your pain, function, and overall musculoskeletal health. Dr Renato will assess the texture, tightness, and mobility of tissue before applying Active Release Technique. This technique assists in relieving muscle tightness and trigger points for patients suffering from acute, chronic, overuse and repetitive strain injuries. As adhesions build up, muscles become shorter and weaker, which can lead to the motion of muscles and joints being altered and nerves becoming compressed. As a result, tissues suffer from decreased blood supply, pain, and poor mobility. Soft tissue work restores the smooth movement of tissues.
Injury rehabilitation
With a background in martial arts and personal training, Dr Renato is uniquely qualified to treat patients in the rehabilitation phase of injury.
As a chiropractor, Dr Renato is not only trained to treat every joint in the body but also to stretch muscles and mobilise/adjust joints that would have spasmed and stiffened from the injury.
Chiropractors assess which muscles may need strengthening to rehabilitate the joints back to their pre-injury state. Dr Renato will look at the body as a whole to ensure treatment of all other appropriate joints that may have been indirectly affected by the injury.
Chiropractors don't just treat your spine
Chiropractic care is holistic in nature. Many people only associate Chiropractors with the treatment of the back and neck. What they don’t realise is that their 5-year university degree has equipped them to deal with every joint and muscle in the body – from head to toe.
