We believe in a multi-directional approach to the treatment of back and neck injuries.
After a comprehensive examination we utilise treatment skills such as manipulation, manual therapy, massage, acupuncture and exercise prescription to treat the disorder.
Strengthening the muscles around the area of injury is imperative to help prevent the recurrence of the injury. We know through research that the local muscles around the level of the spine that is injured become switched off due to the pain and start to waste within four hours of the injury. These muscles do not return to their normal strength by themselves. They need exercises that specifically target them forcing them to work, otherwise other stronger muscles take over. To achieve this we have imported specialised MedX Medical Spinal Strengthening equipment which effectively isolates these muscles, enabling them to return to normal or above normal strength.
We utilise other MedX exercise equipment and pilates to also help achieve our rehabilitation goals.
We pride ourselves in being the only clinics in New Zealand with the MedX Spinal Strengthening equipment.
Spinal conditions we treat include:
- disc injuries
- spinal joint injuries
- sciatica
- spondylosis
- spondylolisthesis
- scoliosis (adult and teenage)
- muscle strains
- postural disorders
- torticollis
- osteoporosis
- fibromyalgia
- post surgical rehabilitation
A focus in our treatment of back and neck injuries is spinal reconditioning and strengthening.
