Our Techniques
At Noosa Chiropractic we use low force techniques to create the greatest change with the least amount of force. The low force techniques include pelvic blocking and using an Activator Instrument, as well as low force (amplitude) adjustments to specific regions of the spine.
The techniques include :
S.O.T (Sacro Occipital Technique) that is a low force technique that aims to balance the cranium and sacrum. S.O.T uses pelvic blocking and cranial adjustment.
A.K. (Applied Kinesiology) is an advanced muscle testing procedure to test which parts of the body or spine may not functioning properly.
Activator technique uses the Activator Instrument to correct and stimulate restricted areas of the body.
Other techniques include:
S.T.O (Soft Tissue Orthopedics)
As well as many other sports therapy techniques.
Each Adjustment has a pre-test, adjustment/spinal correction, and a post-test to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.
Whichever technique your treatment requires, rest assured that you are in safe hands with us.
