You do not have to be in pain or suffering with any particular problem to enjoy chiropractic treatment. Many of our patients simply visit us on a regular basis because it makes them feel good. They feel looser, more aligned, less tense and generally healthier. Patients who do this typically come in once every few months and are sure to have a healthier spine until a ripe old age!

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is considered to be the leading evidence based multidisciplinary tool in the conservative management of subacute and chronic conditions relating to the musculoskeletal system.
Shockwave therapy is a multidisciplinary device used in orthopaedics, physiotherapy, sports medicine, urology and veterinary medicine. Shock wave therapy is a noninvasive method that uses pressure waves to treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
High-energy acoustic waves (shock waves) deliver a mechanical force to the body’s tissues. Its main assets are fast pain relief and mobility restoration. Together with being a non-surgical therapy with no need for painkillers makes it an ideal therapy to speed up recovery and cure various indications causing acute, subacute or chronic pain.
