Blocking Technique

This is a gentle, non-force adjusting approach which many of our patients love. The thing that most patients notice first is our commitment to get them out of their symptoms using a technique that is suited to their individual needs. The leather covered blocks are placed in specific positions according to your joint distortion pattern. Lying on these blocks can help traction the spine, opening up compressed spinal discs and reducing pressure on facet joints of the spine.

This highly-effective technique combines osteopathic principles with the specific, highly-directed approach used in chiropractic. The combination offers a conservative resolution of low back and leg pain that often averts the need for surgery.

A gentle blocking technique gives us the ability to place spinal joints in a more normal motion and position without pain or aggravating your condition.

By lying on the table, we neutralise the effects of gravity on your spine we’re able to gently separate spinal joints and move them through a more normal range of motion. Patients find this a surprisingly pleasant technique. We find it powerfully effective.
