What kinds of techniques are used by the chiropractor in Kerikeri?
We draw on multiple therapies to provide a solution that’s just right for you. This may include:
Chiropractic adjustments:
This is a manual therapy to relieve pain or increase mobility. It’s also known as chiropractic manipulation.
Massage:
For relieving pain and discomfort. Chiropractic massage can assist in recovery, and help to maintain the adjustments for longer.
Stretches:
Targeted chiropractic stretching can help manage pain and discomfort, as well as increasing mobility.
Trigger point therapy:
This addresses muscle pains that may occur in myofascial trigger points, which are painful, tense areas found in muscles.
Traction therapy:
A manual stretching of the spine can help relieve back pain and neck pain, as the stretches relieve pressure on the discs.

This therapy involves soft tissue stretching to break up scar tissue. It can also help prevent injuries and promote flexibility.

Low energy acoustic wave pulsations are effective for many types of acute and chronic pain and tendonitis. It’s also known as Acoustic Wave Therapy.
