Treatment
At HEALTH SHAK, we use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility.
Our highly trained Chiropractors will use their hands to relieve problems with the bones, muscles and joints. This will usually involve some spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), in combination with soft tissue work (STW), such as stretching or massage.
We may also incorporate Advanced BioStructural Correction™ or Applied Kinesiology as part of your treatment programme, depending on your condition.
We can help you with…
-
Back Pain
Around 4 in 5 adults (80%) will experience lower back pain at some point in their lives. It is a common problem that can be both debilitating and emotionally exhausting, but it can be treated naturally with long-lasting effects.
-
Neck Pain
Research has shown that Chiropractic treatment is a highly effective way of treating headaches that originate from the neck. It is a natural and long-lasting alternative to commonly prescribed medication.
-
Posture
Poor sitting, sleeping and standing positions for prolonged periods of time can cause unnecessary stress and pressure on your spine. We use natural methods to help your spine support the weight of your body equally.
-
Performance
Whether you've been injured whilst playing high-level sport or during a recreational activity, we can help you restore full function as soon as possible and reduce the risk of further injury.

Your body has the remarkable ability to heal itself, but only to a certain extent. Sometimes it needs a little help.
Advanced Biostructural Correction™ is a full-body, manual protocol-based method of correcting and optimising the mechanical life-structure of the human body.
Throughout our lives, our bodies are being pushed and pulled in multiple different directions, and if there is enough force, bones can move out of position - or become misaligned. When this occurs our body “twists”, or uses other muscles pulling in other directions, to compensate.
The ABC methodology allows us to carefully detect and correct these misalignments that the body cannot self-correct because there are no muscles or combination of muscles that can pull in the direction required to do so.
What to expect
Before you visit HEALTH SHAK, we will ask you to complete an online registration form telling us about your current condition and general medical health.
-
Once you have booked and completed your online consultation form, you will receive a private link to your virtual consultation. During this call, we will get to know you, your problem and your goals. This will help us to establish an overall picture of your health and determine whether Chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.
-
On your first visit to the clinic, you will receive your first full-body adjustment.
Prior to this, we will give you a physical examination using a range of orthopaedic and neurological tests, as well as assessments of posture and range of movement to help with diagnosing your condition.
-
During your second treatment, you will receive your Report of Findings with a Digital Posture Analysis. Your Chiropractor will talk you through your condition and discuss the best ways we can help you. You will have a plan and personalised road map to help you get to where you want to be.
