Back and Neck
A thorough assessment of your condition is performed including taking relevant past medical history, assessment of neurological function, joint mobility, soft tissue mobility, strength and posture. Further testing can be ordered if necessary including: X-ray, MRI or bone density testing.
Following this assessment a comprehensive plan of treatment can be made. Treatment options are discussed with you and may include: spinal manipulation, soft tissue mobilisation, electrotherapies, strapping, bracing, posture correction and core strengthening, amongst others.
We also offer pre and post surgical treatment of spinal conditions such as discectomies, laminectomies, fusions, rhizotomies and all spinal injections.
Examples of conditions we treat are:
Headaches
Headaches are often caused by mal alignment of the upper cervical vertebrae and muscle imbalance. Our physiotherapists can assess the problem and then mobilise/manipulate these vertebrae to restore normal function and mobility. Muscles often waste away with disuse and need retraining to balance out the system and reduce "tension" headaches. Inappropriate posture is often the cause of headaches. We can guide you through treatment protocols and improve your posture and mechanical loading of your spine to relieve your headaches.
