Musculoskeletal complaints, examined joint by joint.

Six areas of care covering the spine, pelvis and peripheral joints — each beginning with an examination rather than an assumption.

Areas of care

What we assess and treat

Every area below follows the same sequence: examine, explain, treat, review.

Spinal assessment and adjustment

A segment-by-segment examination of the spine and pelvis, then manual adjustment and mobilisation of the joints found to be restricted or irritable.

  • Standing and seated postural screen
  • Active, passive and segmental motion testing
  • Manual adjustment and low-force mobilisation

Neck pain, jaw tension and headaches

Assessment of the cervical spine, upper ribs and surrounding musculature for stiff or aching necks and headaches that track from the base of the skull.

  • Cervical range and segmental testing
  • Upper trapezius and suboccipital soft-tissue work
  • Screen and pillow set-up review

Low back pain and referred leg pain

Lumbar spine, sacroiliac and hip examination for aching, locking or catching low backs, including pain that refers into the buttock or leg.

  • Lumbar and sacroiliac joint testing
  • Neurological and orthopaedic screening
  • Graded loading advice between appointments

Desk posture and workplace strain

For the mid-back, neck and shoulder complaints that accumulate across a working week, with a workstation and movement plan that fits your actual job.

  • Thoracic spine and shoulder girdle assessment
  • Desk, chair and monitor height review
  • Short movement breaks you will realistically do

Sport, gym and running load injuries

For recreational athletes whose complaint tracks with training volume — a look at the joint, the movement pattern and the load that produced it.

  • Movement screen relevant to your sport
  • Joint and soft-tissue treatment
  • Training load and return-to-activity guidance

Shoulder, hip, knee and ankle joints

Peripheral joint assessment and manual care, including how a restricted ankle or hip changes what the spine has to absorb.

  • Single-joint range and stability testing
  • Mobilisation and soft-tissue release
  • Onward referral where imaging or review is indicated

In the room

How treatment is actually delivered

i.

Manual adjustment

A specific, controlled movement applied to a single joint that testing showed to be restricted. You are told which joint, and why, before it is done.

ii.

Mobilisation and soft tissue

Slower, graded joint movement and hands-on work through the surrounding muscle — used where an adjustment is not appropriate or not yet tolerated.

iii.

Loading and movement advice

A short set of things to do between appointments, chosen so they fit your week rather than an ideal one.

Before you book

Two things worth knowing

Chiropractic care is a manual therapy for musculoskeletal complaints. It is not a substitute for medical care, and it does not suit every presentation.

Where the examination points to something outside the scope of this practice, you will be told at the findings stage and pointed toward the right professional. Where imaging or a medical opinion is needed before manual care is appropriate, that comes first.

The four stages of a course of care Examination leads to findings, findings lead to treatment, treatment leads to review. 01   EXAMINATION Screen, test, record 02   FINDINGS Explained, then agreed 03   TREATMENT Adjust, mobilise, load 04   REVIEW Re-test against stage 01
