Our Chiropractic Services

Pinnacle Chiropractic uses a step-by-step approach to care to help you throughout all stages of your healthcare journey. Using a unique range of techniques, our appointments are tailored to suit people of all ages.

The Pinnacle approach to care

We take a 3 step approach to healthcare to get you started on your Chiropractic journey, to enable you to perform at your best and to sustain and maintain optimal performance. We practice a variety of highly-effective adjusting techniques, with our approach to care tailored to your specific needs and requirements based on our years of experience and expertise in reducing nervous system interference.

getting started

Initial Care

When you begin Chiropractic Care, our focus is on helping to bring stability back to the body and to improve the function of your spine and nervous system as soon as we can. During this initial phase of care, frequent adjustments are typically recommended so we can help you as soon as possible with your particular reason for seeing us.

Corrective & Rehabilitative Care

Following your initial care phase, where you have achieved an increase of overall body function as well as more mobility in your spine, we aim to test the body a little more to see what it is capable of doing and with this, we gradually space visits out to ensure we are right there along your health journey and trying to figure out how long you can hold your adjustment for. During this phase of care, we usually start to see any old patterns your body has, whether this is posture, tension or unresolved misalignments in your spine. It is common for us to see people notice an increase of strength, co-ordination, reaction times, energy levels and stress levels.

Wellness Care

This final care phase is the fun part! This is when your body is now able to work and function at your optimal potential. This is where we have tested your body to see how long it can function at its best, before we start to see, feel and notice a drop in the body’s ability to adapt to everyday life of possible stressors, posture and awkward positions at work and at home. It may even be your reaction time or alertness. Having regular adjustments to your spine and nervous system, enables you to stay at the top of your game so that you can tackle anything coming your way whether it be physically or emotionally.

Our Chiropractic Techniques

We use a unique range of Chiropractic techniques in our appointments. We tailor the techniques we use to your individual health concerns, care preferences and where you are on your health journey with us.

Activator Technique

The Activator is a small hand-held device that is a spring-loaded mechanism that delivers high velocity, low amplitude adjustments to your spine and various joints throughout the body. It is a low force technique that we use on people of all ages from kids to the elderly, as well as for those who may be apprehensive about hearing a ‘click’ in their spine.

techniques

Diversified Technique

Diversified is a Chiropractic technique that involves a manual adjustment to adjust the spine. This technique uses our hands to make the adjustment and you may hear a ‘click’ or popping sound which is the sound our joints make when a small amount of gas is being released from them.

Thompson Technique

Thompson is a Chiropractic technique that uses parts of the table to rise and when a small amount of pressure is added to the body with our hands, the table drops at the same time. This technique works great throughout the spine and is a common technique we use to adjust the pelvis, in particular, to help correct any misalignments.

Impulse tool

The Impulse tool is an adjusting tool we use which is similar to the activator however is connected to the power supply and provides many impulses in fast succession to aid in correcting the misalignments in the body.

Total Body Modification (TBM)

Total Body Modification is a Chiropractic technique that uses muscle testing to detect and correct most of the known body functions. TBM works on the philosophy that the body is controlled and organized by the brain and the nervous system. It uses muscle testing and body access points to access the brain and nervous system to challenge the body to identify functional faults.

When there is an interruption to the connection between your brain and nervous system, disease and ill health can occur. There can be many reasons as to how this could occur. Through muscle testing we can explore what the body wants, whether it be; adjusting your spine or any bone in your body, soft-tissue manipulation, energy work, exploring various organ system functions, emotional work, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle modifications. Once the connection is re-established between the brain and nervous system, it allows the body to perform at a healthier and more balanced state of optimal healing – emotionally, mentally and physically.

Chiropractic Appointments

Whether you are booking with us for the first time, are seeing us for regular maintenance or are simply coming in for a progress check, our Chiropractors will tailor your appointment to where you are on your healthcare journey.

Initial Appointment

For your initial appointment, we will go through your health history, assess your current concerns and how they could be impacting your health, performance or productivity. Once we have gone through your health history, we will perform a physical exam where we see what your baseline is. In your physical exam we will perform various orthopaedic, neurological and balance tests. After this, we will assess your spine and nervous system and following this, you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. Expect this to take about 30 minutes. If any x-rays are required, we will refer you to have this done.

appointments

Standard Appointments

Following your initial appointment, we will set out a care plan tailored specifically for you in order for you to achieve your goals. On standard appointments, you will get adjusted each visit and each visit will progress you closer to reaching your optimal potential. Expect these appointments to take between 10-15 minutes.

appointments

Progress Appointments

After you have completed your initial care plan, we will book you in for a progress appointment where we will refer back to your initial appointment and recheck any tests that were positive. We will also compare how your body has changed over the course of your initial care plan. From here, we establish where we go to keep you at your optimal potential. Expect these appointments to take about 20 -30 minutes.

Appointment Fees

We have appointments for ACC, as well as rates for children and seniors.
