TECHNIQUES & TREATMENTS

Our extensive health centre provides comprehensive care
& the latest therapeutic equipment.

Supine T white landscape-1445711594-g-chiropractic-476638460
Chiropractic Manual Adjustments
Chiropractic Manual Adjustments

Traditionally Chiropractic adjustments were done by hand to correct biomechanical dysfunction or subluxation in the spine.

There are many different manual techniques used but the main manual techniques our Active Back Care practitioners use are Diversified, Gonstead and ABC ( Advanced Bio-structural Correction) These are precise techniques that require specific contact and small thrusts (adjustment) that activate fast stretch reflexes in the joint and muscles to relieve pain, alleviate pressure from inflammation and swelling and restore joint function.

With years of training and experience our practitioners can apply these safe and effective techniques to facilitate recovery from back and neck pain or stiffness, postural strain, sports injuries and other traumas.

Joint Mobilisation
Joint Mobilisations

Our Physiotherapists and Chiropractors use this hands-on technique to improve joint function in the specific direction of joint restriction. With graded force, our practitioners can skilfully use passive movement to free up the joint capsule, stretch the muscles and improve joint mobility as well as decrease pain, joint stiffness and muscle tension.

Activator
Activator

The Activator is a specially designed, hand-held spring-loaded instrument which delivers a controlled impulse to the spine. There are several settings from gentle to firm to ensure our patients receive effective, yet comfortable adjustments within their tolerance levels.

The Activator instrument has been researched for over 30 years and tested for back and neck pain conditions for 15 years. It has been found to be safe and effective for performing Chiropractic adjustments. At Active Back Care, we have found it particularly useful for the young and old or those that just prefer a more gentle approach.

Exercise Prescription
Exercise Prescription

As you recover from your injury, your practitioner will introduce some targeted strength and conditioning exercises to help rebuild muscles and re-train joint function and balanced movement. This is important to ensure long term recovery and prevent re-injury. Each exercise programme will be prescribed specific to your individual needs.

At Active Back Care we also offer the professional skills of our Personal Trainers in our own exclusive gym. They will work closely with our other practitioners to help you start your exercise programme and stick to it with correct and effective techniques. When you are ready, we can refer you to one of the great gyms in our area who work with us to ensure safe and effective continuation of your programme.

Chiropractic Drop Piece Table
Chiropractic Drop Piece Table

A drop piece table is a specialized Chiropractic table that helps adjust lower back, pelvic and mid back problems with ease and comfort. It can also be used to effectively adjust the neck and extremities. The table features 3 to 4 sections that can be specifically raised by about 1 to 2 inches beneath the spinal segment to be adjusted. By setting a precise resistance, the Chiropractor can then deliver a gentle, controlled adjustment that is safe and comfortable. Like other Chiropractic adjustments, drop piece adjustments are effective in relieving pain and stiffness and restoring movement to joints.

Taping
Taping

At Active Back Care, our practitioners are experienced in using various tapes to support your recovery or get you back on your feet or back in the game fast! They may use rigid Sports Tape ( non- stretch) to restrict movement of an injured joint, support healing of an injury, prevent re-injury or speed up return to an activity or sport. Alternatively, they may use KinesioTape with special stretch that provides joint support but allows some therapeutic movement. In addition, the Kinesiotape gently lifts the skin and decompresses the underlying tissues to reduce pain and swelling. Strategic application of tape can help stabilize an injury, improve posture and promote recovery.

Dry Needling
Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a new and modern treatment designed to ease muscle tension. It is a safe and proven method of relaxing tight and dysfunctional muscles by deactivating trigger points. Our specially trained Chiropractors and Physiotherapists use one-use, sterile acupuncture needles to stimulate oxygenation of contracted muscle fibers and fascia, reduce inflammation and improve circulation. By releasing the muscle knot Dry Needling provides fast relief for muscle pain and tension especially for sore and aching shoulders, headaches, tennis or golfers elbow, hip and leg pain and stiffness.

Cold Laser
Cold Laser

Low Level Laser Therapy ( LLLT) is the use of red and near infra-red light over injuries to accelerate the healing of soft tissue, reduce inflammation and give relief for both acute and chronic pain. The effects of LLLT are photochemical (just like photosynthesis in plants, but for the human body), with the correct intensity of wavelength LLLT reduces the body’s oxidative stress and increases ATP production. This improves cells metabolism and speeds up recover. LLLT can be beneficial to help treat soft tissue injuries, joint or arthritic conditions and neuropathic pain.

IASTM
IASTM

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) uses specially designed hand held instruments to break down fascial adhesions and scar tissue. This can facilitate a cascade of healing activity resulting in re-modeling of effected soft tissue and functional restoration. Originally designed to treat tendon conditions, at Active Back Care we have had great results with IASTM on strains, sprains, arthritic joints, chronic soft tissue conditions and myofascial dysfunction

Shockwave
Shockwave

  • Feet - heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis
  • Elbow – tennis and golfers elbow
  • Shoulder - calcific tendinosis of rotator cuff muscles
  • Knee - patellar tendonitis

Pillow Fitting, Lumbar Supports & Braces
Pillow Fitting, Lumbar Supports & Braces

Whether you are recovering from an injury or re-training function, specific supports such as neck pillows, back supports, lower back, pelvic or postural braces or joint guards can help speed improvement.

At Active Back Care we stock a variety of contour neck pillows, lumbar cushions, back, postural, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle braces. Our practitioners are also here to personally fit and select the right style, size and shape support for you so you get the most benefit.

A properly fitted pillow can not only give you a good night’s sleep, it can unload strain in your neck and shoulders relieving neck pain, shoulder tension, headaches, fatigue, pins and needles or numbness in your arms. Due to the many different body types with different neck lengths, shoulder widths and comfort levels, it’s important to have your pillow fitted by a professional at Active Back Care.

A properly fitted and selected Lumbar back support can help relieve stress and unload your spine during prolonged periods of sitting. So if you spend hours in an office chair or driving, consider the benefits a lumbar support may give you.

If you need the added support of a brace to get back to work or sports quickly, Active Back Care provide the convenience of stocking what you might need. Talk to our practitioners to see what best suites your needs.
