Services
Chiropractic Adjustments
Our chiropractic adjustments address spinal misalignments and musculoskeletal disorders through precise manual techniques. This service improves nervous system function, alleviates pain, and enhances mobility for patients with back pain, neck pain, and posture-related issues. Regular adjustments help maintain optimal spinal health and prevent future complications.
Active Release Techniques
Active Release Techniques (ART) treat soft tissue injuries by breaking down scar tissue and adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This patented method restores flexibility and reduces pain for athletes and individuals with repetitive strain injuries. Sessions combine movement with manual pressure to accelerate recovery and improve range of motion.
Myofascial Dry Needling
Myofascial dry needling targets muscle knots and trigger points causing chronic pain and restricted movement. Thin needles stimulate healing responses in affected tissues, releasing tension and improving blood flow. This technique effectively treats sports injuries, headaches, and postural imbalances when combined with other therapies.
Kinesiology Taping
Spidertech and kinesiology taping supports injured muscles and joints while allowing full range of motion. The elastic tape reduces swelling, improves proprioception, and provides pain relief for acute injuries and chronic conditions. Application techniques vary based on injury type and rehabilitation stage.
Spinal Decompression
Flexion distraction spinal decompression gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on discs and nerves. This non-surgical technique treats herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease by creating negative pressure that promotes nutrient flow to spinal structures.

I've been receiving chiropractic care for twenty years, I moved to Hope Island six years ago, after a number of false starts looking for THE RIGHT chiropractor, I found Matthew. I can't recommend him enough. Great job, thanks Matt.

You will not find a more accomplished, more knowledgeable, more skilled, more up to date Chiropractic practitioner on the Gold Coast. I have a multitude of medical issues that cause me to seek out Matthews help and he "fixes" me. Unfortunately it must be ongoing but Matthew relieves me of excruciating pain. If you experience rotten pain, call Matthew. BTW, booking is essential 'cause he's a busy guy.
