SERVICES

Chiropractic - If you are in pain, life can be hard.
At Somerville Chiropractic our priority is to get you out of pain as soon as possible. We do this by listening and then undertaking a thorough assessment to find the cause of the pain. We then give you options on how you can move out of your pain.

Myotherapy - Myotherapy is the assessment, treatment and management of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. The name is derived from the Greek prefix ‘myo’ – meaning muscle.

There are a multitude of causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction including habitual postures, work environments and duties, sporting pursuits and other recreational activities.

Remedial Massage - At Somerville Chiropractic, our massage therapists are very experienced in not only relieving your muscle tension and aches and pains but also in educating you in how you can stay well also.

If your muscles are tight, joints are stiff, feel tired and have low energy then you could be a candidate for remedial massage. So many people are stressed and too busy to listen what their body is telling them. If you want your body to look after you, then you need to look after your body. It is not a machine, it will break down unless you take steps to maintain it.

Naturopathy - At Somerville Chiropractic we take a holistic approach when determining the cause of illness and the health of an individual.

Nutrition - At Somerville Chiropractic we understand the importance of nutrition if you want to be healthy.
These days it is too easy and convenient to eat foods that are non nutritious and totally incongruent to the genetic requirements of the body. We always have to remember that just because its convenient and a lot of people eat these foods that it doesn’t make it right.

Ever wondered why your energy levels fall in the afternoon, or why you can never shift those last 5 kilograms despite exercising vigorously? Perhaps you always feel bloated, pass a lot of wind, or have an upset stomach especially after certain foods? These symptoms are your body’s way of letting you know, what you are eating, just isn’t cutting it. Your nutrition isn’t what it should be and needs to improve.

Health Risk Assessment - At Somerville Chiropractic our number one priority is your health… and it should be yours as well.
Too often we have seen people who think they are well, suddenly die or become extremely sick.

How could this be? How can we see if we are as healthy as we think we are?

That is why our clinic has implemented a Health Risk Assessment, which is the worlds first health measurement that assesses all aspects of your past, present and future lifestyle habits. The data collected is analyzed to determine your current and future health and your expected quality of life going forward.

Exercise Physiology - Is an injury or condition getting in your way of being active?
Have you noticed a decline in your physical strength, fitness or flexibility? Perhaps you already exercise regularly but would like to improve your performance?

At Somerville Chiropractic, we recognise the importance of being physically active and the significant impact it can have on your health and wellbeing. We know that exercise is not optional, it’s a necessity.
