At Pure Wisdom, our Chiropractors use a variety of effective adjusting techniques that are tailored on the results of an initial examination, often X-ray findings and a consultation with you. All of our techniques are designed to maximize the function of your INTERNAL WISDOM by reducing interference or blockages to your central nervous system. This allows the body to heal more efficiently and function the way it is designed to… 100%!

These techniques are based on our extensive training of 5 years at university, our many years of clinical experience, post-graduate study, knowledge and skill. The primary adjusting techniques are:

Drop-piece adjustment

The chiropractor assesses the movement of the spine while you are laying face down. Using our specialized tables, the chiropractor implements a specific manual thrust to correct the subluxation (misalignment). The drop mechanism of the adjusting tables utilizes gravity to assist for a more specific, gentle and comfortable adjustment. This technique results in instant localised relaxation of the surrounding muscles and tissues and reduces nervous system interferences. The drop-piece tables also allow our Chiropractors to assess and adjust extremity joints of the body to help restore proper range of motion.

Activator Methods®

This is a system of spinal evaluation combined with a handheld adjusting instrument that delivers a consistent, low-force thrust. The Activator Methods® Adjusting Instrument is a handheld spring-loaded tool that delivers a consistent low-force, high-speed thrust. It is approximately 10 times faster than adjustments delivered by hand, and is very effective and successful working with babies and children, and people with osteoporosis or hyper-sensitive patients.

Torque Release Technique (TRT)

TRT focuses on the vital connections between the spinal cord and the spinal column. The chiropractor gently and methodically adjusts the areas of your spinal cord, bringing about positive change in the degree of tension in the central nervous system.

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)

SOT deals with the relationship between the function and structure of the nervous system, the skeletal system and the circulation of the cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF). SOT employs the use of wedge shaped levers or blocks to allow the body to seek its correct alignment and balance.SOT recognizes the importance of body language and uses many indicators in the form of neurological indicators, weak muscles, tender spots or other body signs to determine the type of adjustment you need. As the body responds and heals, stress areas around the body are eliminated.

Paediatric and pregnancy chiropractic care

Our Chiropractors have completed post graduate study in working with pregnancy, infants and children. For pregnancy, these techniques are aimed to support the mother in optimal health throughout pregnancy, for ideal position and development of the baby in utero, and to assist in a healthy active birth and promote successful breastfeeding and bonding.

The gentle and specialized techniques for babies and young children work of the delicate cranial, dural and spinal system to assist for optimal brain development. These gentle yet powerful techniques are integrated with tailored homecare and exercises to ensure the child obtains the best results.
