Chiropractic
Natural health for your spine and entire body
Chiropractors study for a minimum of 5 years university training and are government regulated health professionals.
Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system and how that relationship affects our health. Using spinal adjustments and other manual and soft tissue techniques, chiropractic corrects misalignments of the joints, improves muscle tone and stimulates nerve activity.
Chiropractic adjustments involve the application of a precise yet gentle force to a section of the spine that needs correction. This has been shown to reduce pain and improve spinal function.
Our team are highly skilled and experienced and use a range of techniques matched to your needs. Firmer adjustments are perfect for some people, while lower force adjustments are better suited to others. Adjustments can be done by hand, using hand-held instruments or with special adjusting tables. We work with spines of all ages from the very young to the very old.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps you recover from injury, reduce pain and stiffness, increase mobility and prevent further injury. They do this through manual therapy, exercise and advice. Physios use careful manipulation and movement of your joints, bones and muscles to help prevent, treat and manage health complaints relating to your movement and/or mobility, including related disorders you may be experiencing.
Physiotherapy can help people of all ages and abilities. You may turn to physio when you’re ill, injured or ageing. Physios can also keep you strong and prevent injuries in the first place.
The following are common treatment methods use by physiotherapists:
- exercise programs to improve mobility and strengthen muscles

- muscle re-education to improve control
- airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises
- soft tissue mobilisation (massage)
- dry needling
- assistance with use of taping, aids, splints, crutches to help you recover and get you back to activity

Dry Needling
As a treatment, dry needling involves the gentle insertion of filament needles into the painful or knotted part of a muscle: commonly referred to as a myofascial trigger point. The aim of dry needling is to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with these trigger points by promoting muscle relaxation, tissue rejuvenation, and restoring any wider imbalances caused by tight or constricted muscular tissue. In a dry needling session, each needle is gently inserted into the tense muscle at the trigger point, carefully manipulated to instigate the therapeutic effect, and then removed after a short period. The process may be repeated several times throughout the course of a single session.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold Laser Therapy (CLT) delivers energy units, in the form of collimated light photons, to damaged tissue cells. Photons absorbed by the cells stimulate mitochondria to increase the production of ATP (the power house chemical giving energy to the cell). This biochemical increase in cell energy helps transform the cells from a state illness to a healthy stable state.
At Simply Health we use a SuperPulsed MR4 as this has greater tissue penetration for more effective healing. Cold laser is completely painless. When combined with TENS you may feel a mild prickling sensation.
