Stretching exercises or physical therapy can help treat pain in the long term.
Recommend appropriate medical care, such as braces or supports, that can help you manage your injuries or pain.
Refer you to other specialists who are experts at pain relief, thus providing you with an entire support team that can help you remove your pain (such as our amazing sports therapists!)
MORE THAN JUST PAIN
However, the evidence is also clear: You don’t have to be in pain to benefit from a visit to a chiropractor. Visiting a chiropractor can help address a variety of issues in a pre-emptive manner, helping you find better posture, improve discomfort, and more. Furthermore, many chiropractors practice more than just chiropractic, preferring to operate in a holistic, integrated manner. As a clinic we also provide sports therapy and nutritional advice.
