Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments correct spinal misalignments using controlled force to restore joint mobility and alleviate pain. Our practitioners employ manual techniques tailored to individual needs, addressing conditions like back pain, headaches, and joint issues. This non-invasive approach promotes natural healing by improving nervous system function and reducing inflammation, ensuring long-term wellness for patients of all ages.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression uses traction-based therapy to relieve disc-related pain in the back, neck, and limbs. By creating negative pressure in the intervertebral discs, this technique encourages healing of herniated or bulging discs while reducing nerve compression. Patients benefit from improved posture, reduced inflammation, and accelerated recovery without surgical intervention, supported by 15+ years of clinical success.
Cox Flexion Distraction
Cox Flexion Distraction is a gentle, evidence-based method for treating lower back and neck pain. Using a specialised table, practitioners apply controlled stretching to decompress spinal discs, alleviate nerve pressure, and restore mobility. This technique follows research-backed protocols to achieve 50% pain relief within 30 days, with outcomes validated by peer-reviewed studies and clinical trials.
Posture Correction
Posture correction addresses musculoskeletal imbalances caused by poor alignment, reducing pain and improving overall health. Our approach combines spinal adjustments, targeted exercises, and ergonomic advice to correct postural habits. Patients learn to maintain proper alignment through real-time ultrasound assessments and customised exercise programs, preventing long-term complications like chronic pain and reduced mobility.
Epley Manoeuvre
The Epley Manoeuvre treats benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) by repositioning dislodged inner ear crystals. This quick, non-invasive procedure involves guided head movements to resolve dizziness and balance issues. Supported by NHMRC Level I evidence, it offers rapid symptom relief with minimal side effects, enabling patients to regain stability and confidence in daily activities.

The Ashgrove Spinal Centre has been a godsend for me. I hobbled in and walked out - pain not completely gone but I'm booked in for a treatment plan that will have long term health benefits for me. Thanks so much.

I have been to many chiropractors over the years but Rob is the best by far - his treatment program will get you back working or playing as quickly as possible!!
