Chiropractors as musculoskeletal specialists have a full understanding
of all the joints and muscles in the body.
Chiropractors use modified adjusting techniques to care for joints
as diverse as the jaw, wrist and shoulder. When dealing with soft tissues
(muscles, tendons and ligaments) we may use a modified form of acupuncture
applied specifically into muscles or tendons (dry needling).
We will carry out a full examination and take x-rays if necessary,
to establish the cause of your aches and pains in, for example, your elbow,
knee or ankle. Your problems may be a simple sprain or strain;
it may be longer term arthritis or even be the result of an irritated
nerve in the spine referring pain into the body.
We will of course refer you to any other specialists if chiropractic
care is not suitable.
