Chiropractic Care
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural, conservative alternative approach to achieve better health and wellness. Chiropractors diagnose, manage, treat, and help prevent mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially of the spine.
Chiropractic manipulation is a therapeutic treatment by a licensed chiropractor. Our chiropractor uses pressure to manipulate joints in your body to improve and restore movement dysfunctions of the spine and reduce pain and discomfort.
A Different Approach
Mark doesn’t just target problems in his patients’ musculoskeletal systems, his focus is on helping them change their overall lifestyle and get into better habits. Aftercare is an important aspect of his treatment. Finding ways for the patient to be more active, gain strength and agility, and improve their respiratory fitness. Improving cardio and respiratory fitness enables better oxygen utilisation in the body, which is key to healing and rejuvenating tissues.
Gentle Techniques
Mark refers to himself as a gentle giant. He never wants to push a patient past their pain tolerance, so he always starts with gentle, soft tissue mobilisation. He communicates with the patient at all times to ensure their comfort, and increases the intensity over time, based on the patient.
Mark’s primary technique is Diversified, however he may use one or more adjunct services for best results.
