Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments focus on correcting spinal misalignments to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. Using manual techniques tailored to individual needs, we address conditions like back pain, neck pain, and headaches. This treatment helps restore mobility while promoting natural healing processes through improved biomechanical function.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied kinesiology assessments evaluate muscle strength and response to identify imbalances affecting posture and movement. By integrating manual muscle testing with chiropractic care, we address structural, chemical, and emotional factors impacting health. This approach helps develop targeted treatment plans for improved physical performance and wellness.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialised sports injury treatments accelerate recovery from athletic strains and sprains. Combining joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation exercises, we restore function while preventing future injuries. Our approach addresses acute trauma and chronic overuse conditions to help athletes return to peak performance safely.
Paediatric Chiropractic
Gentle chiropractic care for infants and children addresses developmental concerns and musculoskeletal issues. Using non-invasive techniques, we support healthy growth patterns and address conditions like colic, posture problems, and sports-related strains. Early intervention helps establish proper spinal alignment for lifelong wellness.
Postural Correction
Postural correction programs address chronic misalignments caused by lifestyle factors or injuries. Through spinal adjustments, muscle rebalancing, and ergonomic guidance, we improve body mechanics to reduce pain and prevent degenerative changes. This service helps patients develop sustainable posture habits for better overall health.

Report
Referred by gp on care plan due to financial hardship for chiro, received mostly kinesiology treatment and sold extra tests and supplements for something that is not medically recognised. The chiropractic manipulation I did receive didn't last due to failure to massage or relax muscles in surrounding areas.... Basically I feel as though I saw a con artist and bought snake oil and my GP agreed...

Fabulous for addressing health issues. Annika diagnosed my son with an egg allergy when he was 7 months old. Im glad she did, it was confirmed through a blood test weeks later that he was highly allergic to eggs. Id hate to think of what would of happen had I not had gone to Annika and had follow up pathology tests.

I have been a client of this practice for over 2 years now. My mind, body and soul have never felt better, I have had physical and emotional trauma, herniated discs and fibromyalgia (chronic pain and fatigue). I am almost completely off pain killers and the only other medication I take is herbal. I now live a very active lifestyle and have a lot of energy. I get the care plans for chiropractic and i think it is wonderful that they include chiro and kinesiology into the same consultation, it is fantastic value for money! I have only ever been treated with compassion, kindness and a genuine want
