Chiropractic techniques for arm, knee and leg pain

At Abbey Chiropractic in Romsey, our medical professionals treat each patient as an individual, whether they are suffering from leg pain or back pain, discomfort in the arms or other extremities. By careful assessment of every person’s condition, we are able to recommend treatments that will reduce pain, improve mobility and prevent future disorders. We do this through a range of techniques.

What Techniques Do We Use?

Chiropractic does not involve prescribing drugs or surgery. Instead, it relies on a number of tried and tested techniques that have been proven to help in particular instances. Manipulation, for example, is commonly used to adjust the spine or other body areas to address and remove irritation in the nervous system and improve the mobility of stiff joints. Trigger point therapy identifies knots in muscle tissue caused by a build-up of lactic acid, which are then manipulated to reduce pain.

The drop table is a special table that allows the chiropractor to gently move sections of the patient’s spine without exerting undue pressure, by using cushions to support each area and drop piece mechanisms that gently give way during treatment.  At our practice, we also use a range of other physical therapy methods, such as ultrasound, dry needling and interferential therapy, not to mention giving detailed medical advice on posture and exercises that will assist in managing otherwise painful conditions.

Orthotics Therapy

Finally, we are specialists in orthotics, shaped insoles for footwear that restore the natural alignment of the foot to address symptoms such as foot, knee, hip and lower back pain, as well as tired and achy legs, plantar fasciitis and Morton’s Neuroma. All treatments take place in our relaxed, welcoming clinic and are fully discussed and explained to each patient before we begin.
