Chiropractic Treatment

Treatment in Taunton

Before your back pain treatment begins, we will discuss the best options for your specific condition as well as alternatives.  To make the most of your back pain treatment package, your Chiropractor will advise on the most appropriate series of simple stretches and exercises for you to do at home which will help speed up your recovery. They may also recommend having additional massage treatments which will compliment your Chiropractic  care.

The combination of therapeutic massage on top of our Chiropractic treatment techniques give many benefits to reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, reduce pain and improve blood supply. This in turn promotes faster healing within injured tissues.

Because of the individualistic nature of each patient’s case, no two treatment plans are the same. This means whatever treatment plan we embark on with you, it is bespoke to you and your body.

If you have already experienced Chiropractic and are looking for specific techniques, we use the following methods:

 

Sacro-Occipital technique (SOT)

 Traditional (Diversified) Chiropractic
 Activator and other low-force techniques
 Thompson Drop technique
 Muscle energy techniques (post-isometric relaxation etc.)
 Medical Acupuncture (dry-needling)
 Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation
 Trigger Point Therapy
 Exercise rehabilitation
