The Nantgarw Chiropractor

The Nantgarw Chiropractor treats musculoskeletal problems affecting bones, joints and muscles. Care covers back and neck pain, extremity joint pain such as knees and shoulders, headaches associated with neck dysfunction, sporting aches and pains, pregnancy related musculoskeletal aches and pains, and aches and pains associated with osteoarthritis.

Every new patient has an initial consultation first. This includes a review of relevant medical history, a physical examination and a discussion about the course of treatment for their symptoms. New clients booking chiropractic, myofascial cupping or dry needling all start with this initial assessment, and existing clients are asked to book a re-assessment if they have not been seen for over a year or have a new issue.

Chiropractic treatment may include joint adjustments, mobilisations, soft tissue work and corrective exercise. Treatment can also include myofascial release techniques and home stretches or rehabilitation exercises. Soft tissue techniques listed by the clinic include spot massage, trigger point therapy, medical acupuncture and muscle energy techniques.

Dry needling, also referred to as medical acupuncture, is used for pain and tightness in muscles, tendons and ligaments. It can be booked as a stand-alone treatment or used as part of a wider plan that includes joint manipulation, stretching and rehabilitation exercises. Myofascial cupping is also available as a stand-alone treatment.

The clinic is based at Treforest Industrial Estate, in the Pontypridd area. Onsite parking is available, and local buses stop outside regularly. The clinic also states that it is accessible from Cardiff and Caerphilly.
