Types of Chiropractic Care Available
At Ripple Chiropractic, we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of chiropractic services to cater to the specific needs of our patients. Whether you’re dealing with acute pain or chronic issues, our customised treatment plans are designed to offer not just immediate relief but long-term benefits. Here’s a closer look at the types of treatments we offer:
Spinal Adjustments
Also known as spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment, this is the cornerstone of chiropractic care. A chiropractor uses their hands or a device to apply a controlled force to a joint of your spine.
Effective For
This method is commonly used for treating acute low back pain, chronic low back pain and neck pain. It can improve functionality, decrease pain and stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities.
Techniques
Techniques may include; diversified technique, Gonstead adjustment and spinal manipulative therapy, cervical spine manipulation and more.
Soft Tissue Therapy
This is not just a simple massage. Our soft tissue therapy aims to treat muscular imbalances and disorders, using a combination of manual therapy techniques, which may include kneading, stretching and manual pressure.
Effective For
Soft tissue therapy is especially effective for musculoskeletal pain, tension headaches and strains or injuries affecting muscles, ligaments and tendons.
Techniques
Myofascial release, trigger point therapy and cross-friction massage are some of the techniques employed.
Ergonomic Training
Given our modern lifestyle, often tethered to desks and screens, ergonomic training has become increasingly essential. This involves personalised consultation to identify and correct poor work habits that could contribute to musculoskeletal problems.
Effective For
Ergonomic training is effective for preventing and managing chronic low back pain, repetitive strain injuries and workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Techniques
This might include; proper chair height, screen placement, keyboard and mouse setup and correct posture exercises.
Chiropractic Adjustments for Nervous System
This approach targets the overall functioning of the nervous system, which controls every cell and organ in your body. The spine is intimately related to the nervous system and specific adjustments aim to improve this crucial relationship.
Effective For
These adjustments can help decrease pain, reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and enhance your overall well-being.
Techniques
This might involve; neuro-emotional technique (NET), sacro-occipital technique (SOT) and activator methods, among others.
These treatments can be standalone or part of an integrated care approach, often blending well with other healthcare disciplines like physical therapy. As each individual is unique, we will customise a treatment plan based on a thorough evaluation, aligning it with the guidelines set by Australian healthcare standards.
By entrusting your care to Ripple Chiropractic, you’re taking an active step toward lasting wellness and improved quality of life.

FAQs
If you have any more questions about chiropractic care, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, check out our most frequently asked questions below which may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
Are Chiropractic Treatments Safe?
Chiropractic treatments, especially for neck pain and back pain, are generally safe when performed by a professional with chiropractic education. However, like all medical treatments, they can have risks. Serious complications are rare but can occur, so it’s important to discuss any concerns with medical doctors or chiropractors.
How Often Do I Need Treatments?
The frequency of chiropractic adjustments depends on individual needs and conditions. For pain relief in areas like the cervical spine, regular sessions might be recommended. Your chiropractor will assess your musculoskeletal system to tailor a treatment plan.
When Will I Start to Notice Improvements?
Improvements from chiropractic therapy can vary. Some patients experience pain relief after a few sessions, while others may take longer. Consistent chiropractic management can lead to more significant and sustained improvements over time.
What is the Recovery Time for a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Recovery time after a chiropractic adjustment is typically short. Most patients can resume daily activities immediately. Some may experience minor discomfort initially, but this is usually temporary and a normal part of the healing process.
What is the Popping Sound I Hear During a Chiropractic Adjustment?
The popping sound heard during chiropractic manipulation is the release of gas bubbles from the joints. This is a normal part of the adjustment process and is generally not painful.
Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are not typically painful. Some patients might experience slight discomfort during the adjustment, especially if there is severe pain or inflammation. However, chiropractic care is often sought to relieve pain and improve overall function.
