SPINAL MANIPULATION
At Brackendowns Chiropractic, we specialise in Diversified Chiropractic manipulation/adjustment. This technique is the most commonly used of all chiropractic techniques and is the one probably most familiar to patients. The Diversified manipulation/adjustment entails a high velocity, low-amplitude thrust delivered by hand and possibly with assistance by a drop-table or block
DRY NEEDLING
As the name implies, there is no medication used. These thin filament needles are used to break down/reverse the effects of these trigger points with in the muscle and in so doing change the function of that muscle albeit almost immediately. Myofacial trigger points are small muscle contraction/knots that can be felt as a small muscle nodule just below the skin. Pushing these muscular nodules is very painful. Trigger points can exist in each muscle of the body, with multiple existing at the same time, affecting both sides of the body equally. These trigger points keep the muscle tight and weak and restricting the muscle’s range and motion
