| Chiropractic :– |
There is several different ways to analyse you as patient. Johann will explain the various treatment methods available when you visit, to focus on your specific dysfunction and need for your unique body. To really focus on, one certain technique, what can benefit you the most? Some people really respond to a very physical adjustment where you will hear the bones actually moving in the joint cavity, releasing, like a “gas bubble” what pop. Other people do not like that at all, they will like a very light force adjustment by using his hands, but also might use an instrument such as this called the activator and it is a very quick movement you can adjust it to different tensions, depending on if it is an older or a younger patient, and depending if your problem are up in the neck or may down the low back. Other techniques may include diversified, gonstead, Hi-Lo drop table and soft tissue work.
Johann believes that visiting a Chiropractor should be a pleasant experience, by using safe and gentle techniques. |
| Acupuncture :– |
High quality disposable needles is our policy. Chiropractic and acupuncture what a wonderful combination together. Johann started to see the benefit of it and went back to university and completed his master’s degree in acupuncture. Chiropractic works with the skeletal and nervous system. Skeletal problems are often the origan of many physical complaints. Johann experienced an adjustment alone may not hold if uneven muscle tension or soft tissue inflammation are constantly tugging the bones out of alignment. Acupuncture works with soft tissue and overall balance of body function. By relieving pain while relaxing and balancing muscle and nervous function, acupuncture helps chiropractic adjustments to last longer. Together, these therapies can shorten the overall time required to resolve a musculoskeletal complaint and therefore get so much better and quicker results. |

Swedish, Remedial, Deep Tissue, Chinese Tuina, Sport and Muscle Therapy, Pre & Post Natal Massage, Pregnancy Massages, Relaxation and Stress Reduction is available. For complaints involving a combination of skeletal misalignment and muscle injury or chronic tension, massage therapy is an important ingredient in successful chiropractic treatment. As with acupuncture, the combination of hard and soft tissue therapy leads to fast recovery and fewer visits to resolve a complaint. |
