who we treat
Healthy Spine
Children
We care for children also. Paul has taken further education in paediatric care since the birth of his own two boys.
We use a chiropractic technique called Neuro-Impulse Protocol. This is a highly sophisticated and accurate system that is known for how gentle it is on children and adults alike.
Expecting Mums
Growing another person inside your tummy can put extra pressure on your spine and especially your hips. Many women choose to include chiropractic to reduce discomfort and improve the balance of movement in the pelvis. We have a gentle approach to expecting mother and we use special cushions so that mums to be can lay down on their front without any pressure on their Bumps.
