Our Approach
At Dynamic Chiropractic, we believe effective care is a true partnership between practitioner and patient. That’s why we take a collaborative, comprehensive approach to our chiropractic services. We’ll always begin your journey with a complete spinal and neurological assessment alongside a full spinal x-ray (if clinically required). Why? Because understanding precisely what’s happening allows us to create a clear, informed plan that addresses the root of the issue as well as the symptoms.
Alongside these assessments, we’ll also ask you some questions about your health, goals, lifestyle, and any previous injuries or treatments you’ve had, so we can shape a care plan that suits you, your lifestyle, and preferences. Our treatment plans can include spinal adjustments, exercise prescriptions, soft tissue therapies, lifestyle modifications, and recommendations for alternative treatments where appropriate, always ensuring we focus on what best supports your health and recovery.
What Do Chiropractors Do?
Chiropractors are trained to identify and address various imbalances or misalignments in the spine and joints that may be causing pain or interfering with your daily life. These types of issues can lead to a range of symptoms affecting both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, and can vary in severity from mild discomfort to more severe problems.
A chiropractor is often associated with helping:
- Persistent back and/or neck pain
- Chronic stiffness or joint or muscle pain.
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Limited range of motion and/or flexibility
- Injury from sports or an accident
- Poor posture and/or balance
- Dizziness or brain fog
- Nerve pain, such as sciatica
- Pregnancy-related pains
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an osteopath vs a chiropractor?
While osteopaths and chiropractors both use hands-on techniques and focus on the musculoskeletal system, their approaches differ. Osteopaths use a variety of methods such as stretching, massage, and gentle joint mobilisation to restore balance and improve the overall movement and function of the body, often helping with conditions like muscle strains and joint pain.
Chiropractors, on the other hand, primarily focus on spinal alignment and its effect on the nervous system. We often use targeted adjustments and specialised equipment to restore proper alignment to the spine, which helps reduce nerve pressure, improve nervous system function, improve mobility, and relieve pain. Many individuals see chiropractors for issues such as migraines, back pain, neck pain and other symptoms caused by spinal misalignment.
What is the difference between a chiropractor and a physiotherapist?
As you know, chiropractors use targeted spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment to the spine and ultimately help to reduce nerve pressure, pain, and promote nervous system function regulation.
Physiotherapists, on the other hand, take a broader approach, focusing on restoring strength, flexibility, and function through exercises, manual therapy and education. Physiotherapy often involves tailored exercise programs to help recover from injury, manage chronic conditions, and improve physical performance.
Many people choose to combine chiropractic care and physiotherapy as part of a well-rounded treatment plan. Why? Because together, they provide a balanced approach that supports faster recovery and long-term health.
Can I see a chiropractor if I’m pregnant?
Not only is it safe to see a chiropractor during a pregnancy, but a chiropractor can also be incredibly beneficial for helping relieve pregnancy-related pains, and can maintain pelvic alignment often leading to a quicker birth with less risk of complications. Dr. Brett is also trained in the Webster technique which is often utilised to assist with breach presentations.
Can a chiropractor help with sciatica?
In short, yes, many individuals do see chiropractors to help relieve the painful symptoms caused by sciatica. Sciatica is caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from your lower back through to your legs. Our chiropractors use spinal adjustments to restore proper alignment of the spine and reduce irritation, which often provides effective relief from the symptoms of sciatica
