Southwest Chiropractic Clinic

Southwest Chiropractic Clinic is for adults, children, newborns and older patients looking for chiropractic care for musculoskeletal pain, stiffness and mobility concerns. The clinic treats problems affecting joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons, including back pain and leg pain, neck pain and stiffness, headaches and migraines, shoulder, arm and wrist pain, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, hip, knee and ankle pain, sports injuries, muscle strains, postural issues, joint stiffness and pregnancy-related pain.

Care is hands-on and may include joint manipulation, mobilisation, muscle massage, soft tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, targeted exercises, and heat or ice therapy. The clinic also refers to osteopathic care for all ages.

At a first visit, your chiropractor will take a history of your complaint and wider health, then carry out a physical examination. This may include looking at posture and movement, testing range of motion, and checking areas of tension or pain. You will be given a diagnosis and an individual treatment plan. If treatment is appropriate, it may be provided at that visit, although it can be delayed if x-rays or other investigations are needed.

Advice may also cover posture, lifestyle, diet, and how to look after your back at home and at work. Tanja's stated specialisms include pregnancy-related pain and paediatric chiropractic care.
