Chiropractic Techniques Used at Lunar Chiropractic

Diversified Technique

One of the most commonly used chiropractic methods, the Diversified Technique involves precise, hands-on adjustments to restore proper joint movement and alignment. This technique is adapted to suit each patient, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)

SOT is a gentle method that focuses on the relationship between the sacrum (base of the spine) and the occiput (base of the skull). This technique uses specialised blocking methods to support spinal balance and improve nervous system function.

Functional Neurology (Functional Neuro)

This approach assesses and supports brain-body communication, helping to enhance neurological function. It is particularly beneficial for children with developmental concerns, retained primitive reflexes, and sensory processing challenges.

Drop Table & Activator Technique

• Drop Table Adjustments: A specialised chiropractic table with gentle, controlled movement assists in making adjustments without forceful twisting or cracking.

• Activator Method: A handheld instrument delivers precise, low-force adjustments to specific areas of the spine and body, making it a great option for those who prefer a gentle approach.

Oromyofascial Therapy

This technique focuses on the muscles, fascia, and soft tissues of the jaw, mouth, and face. It is beneficial for infants struggling with feeding issues, tongue ties, and jaw tension, as well as adults experiencing TMJ discomfort.

Gentle Paediatric Chiropractic Care

There is no cracking involved in paediatric care. Instead, gentle techniques such as light pressure, stretching, and soft tissue release are used to support a child’s growing spine and nervous system. Care is tailored to each child’s age and developmental stage to ensure comfort and safety.

Pregnancy Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care during pregnancy focuses on supporting the body through postural and hormonal changes. Techniques include:

• Round Ligament Release: Helps reduce tension in the ligaments supporting the uterus, easing discomfort and promoting pelvic balance.

• Diaphragm & Breathing Work: Supports proper breathing mechanics to enhance relaxation and reduce tension.

• Vagal Nerve Stimulation: Helps regulate the nervous system, supporting digestion, stress response, and overall well-being.

• Fascial Release: Gently releases tension in the connective tissues, promoting mobility and comfort throughout pregnancy.

At Lunar Chiropractic, every technique is carefully selected to ensure a safe and effective experience for all patients. If you have any questions about the techniques used in your care, feel free to ask during your appointment.
