The Hands-On Care That Supports Your Treatment Plan

We are not a “snap, crackle, pop” office, and we say that plainly because so many patients arrive braced for exactly that. Many of our patients are in their seventies and eighties, some have osteoporosis or previous spinal surgery, and a good number have had an experience elsewhere that put them off chiropractic altogether.

What we do instead is low-force. That means gentle mobilisation, careful positioning, and instrument-assisted adjusting that delivers a small, precise impulse rather than a manual thrust. Most patients describe it as underwhelming, which is the point. You will be told what is about to happen before it happens, and anything you would rather we did not do, we do not do.

Fascia is the thin sheet of connective tissue that wraps every muscle and runs continuously through the body. When it tightens and loses its glide, it can pull on the structures around it, restrict how freely you move, and press on nerves that were already irritated.

Myofascial release works slowly and deliberately. Sustained, gentle pressure is held on a restricted area until the tissue softens and releases, rather than being forced. It is unhurried by design, and it pairs well with laser therapy in the same visit.

Deep tissue medical massage reaches the deeper layers of muscle and the tissue around them. It is aimed at a specific problem found during your examination, such as chronic tension through the low back and hips, or calves that have tightened up from months of walking differently to protect a painful foot.

Pressure is matched to what you can comfortably tolerate and is adjusted as we go. Deeper is not automatically better, and a session that leaves you sore for three days has not helped you. Tell your therapist what you are feeling and the pressure changes.
