Services
Torque Release Technique
This low-impact technique delivers precise spinal corrections using a specialised instrument. It enhances nervous system function through gentle adjustments that require minimal force. Patients benefit from improved posture alignment and reduced interference to the body's natural healing processes.
Sacro-Occipital Technique
Focuses on cranial and pelvic balance through gentle block placement. Addresses mechanical stress patterns affecting spinal alignment. Particularly effective for chronic conditions and postural adaptations in sensitive patients.
Advanced BioStructural Correction
Targets permanent structural misalignments that the body cannot self-correct. Combines postural analysis with mechanical adjustments to restore natural spinal curves. Addresses long-term breathing efficiency and biomechanical function improvements.

I was recommended through family to come here. It's been amazing ever since. Good people, flexible schedules, and they truly care about your health- not just treating the symptoms.

My wife and I have been receiving regular chiropractic care at Mark O'Brien Chiropractic for seven years. Since starting, both of us have found that lower back pain issues have virtually disappeared and we have experienced improvements in energy levels and overall lifestyle. Highly recommended.
