Chiropractic adjustments are quick, precise movements (known as a ‘thrust’) used to treat musculoskeletal pain. These movements are brief stretches in the joint which stimulate nerve receptors in muscles and ligaments that surround the joint. These adjustments can be made to the spine (cervical, thoracic and lumbar), peripheral joints (shoulder, wrist, hip, knee or ankle) and jaw.  

The goal is to improve alignment, improve range of motion, relieve pain and pressure. When joints are not moving correctly, it can lead to pain, stiffness, or reduced function, especially in areas like the back, neck, or shoulders. By adjusting these joints, we aim to relieve pressure on surrounding nerves and muscles. When you are out of alignment it causes tension, pain and stiffness throughout the body.

When Dr Henry or Dr Miranda apply pressure to the joint a very fast, specific stretch occurs in the area. This happens as there is a brief change in pressure in the joint causing very small gas bubbles in the synovial fluid (joint fluid) to release. The sound is just gas releasing from the joint! The same thing happens when you crack your knuckles.

Dry needling is a targeted treatment used to relieve muscle pain and improve movement. We will use a very fine, sterile needle and place it into muscle tissue that is causing discomfort. Otherwise known as trigger points! This treatment helps by reducing tension and pain. 

Often when the needle finds a tight and inflamed muscle it causes a small twitch, this is totally normal! The muscle tissue twitches as the needle is in a trigger point, which is stimulating nerve endings and motor-end plates.
