Our Services
Chiropractors (practitioners of chiropractic) use their hands to treat disorders of the bones, muscles and joints.
Chiropractors use a range of techniques, with an emphasis on manipulation of the spine. They may also offer advice on diet, exercise, postural correction and lifestyle. They will give rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do in your own time
Diversified Chiropractic
At Alpha Chiropractic and Sports Injury Clinic, we use an adjusting style commonly referred to as “Diversified.” Many people ask the questions “what is chiropractic?” or “what is a chiropractor?” Diversified is the technique practiced by Danial David Palmer, the first chiropractor who founded the chiropractic medical profession in 1895.
Gonstead Technique
Named after its developer, Dr. Clarence Gonstead, this approach came from his engineering background. His “foundation principle” explains how a subluxation pattern in one area of the spine can produce compensatory changes in another.
Thompson Drop Technique
The Thompson Technique, developed by Dr. J. Clay Thompson, has evolved into a system of analysis and a way of adjusting the full spine.
The combination produces precise adjustments and high levels of patient comfort.
Activator Methods
We use one of the most popular “low force” chiropractic techniques in the world.
The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust.
Supportive Therapies
Electrical Therapy: InterX 5000
The InterX 5000 is the first product from NRG to use a new generation of neurostimulation technology called Interactive Neurostimulation. Hand-held and battery operated, the InterX 5000 delivers significant results in applications such as, Injury Management, Rehabilitation and Pain Relief – both acute and complex chronic pain conditions.
McTimoney Chiropractic Technique
At Alpha Chiropractic Clinic, we will tailor the correct chiropractic technique to suit your treatment needs and preferences. We can offer a lighter chiropractic technique known toggle recoil technique, which is very similar to McTimoney chiropractic technique.
