Although all musculoskeletal conditions, including sporting injuries, are treated at this clinic, there is a particular emphasis on back and neck problems.
Often the symptoms of such are not in the back or neck, but manifested in the periphery as headaches, nausea, dizziness, clicking jaw, shoulder, arm, hip, leg pains (sciatica), pins and needles or muscle spasm.
Some problems, although seeming to originate elsewhere, as in the shoulder or hip, are in fact referred from the spine.
But whether local or referred these problems are normally remedied with one or a variety of physiotherapy techniques.
Treatments;
Mechanised Spinal Traction for discs in the neck or back.
Spinal Manipulation.
Mobilisation.
Orthotic Inserts.
Ultrasound.
Corrective Taping.
Short-Wave Diathermy.
And Exercise Therapy are some of the treatments available at the clinic.
