What can a chiropractor do for my back pain?

A chiropractor is a healthcare professional who focuses on finding the root cause of your pain in relation to your spine and joints and will be able to treat such disorders by manual realignment.

How do I know if I have pulled a muscle or have I slipped a disc?

A thorough examination from one of our chiropractors will determine the cause of your discomfort and suggest treatment. A pulled muscle is usually a dull and aching pain, a slipped disc presents as a much sharper pain. Our chiropractor can treat or refer to one of our massage therapists as required.
