Chiropractic Care

The Essential Needs

Welcome to Harvey Young Advanced Holistic Therapy, our focus goes beyond temporary relief; we prioritise restoring spinal function, optimising posture, and promote long lasting health.

When most people think about chiropractic treatment, they think about the joint popping sound, as know as “bone cracking”. Many people, including health professionals, have all sorts of misconceptions about this popping sound, so let’s set the record straight.

The popping sound is simply the formation of gas within a joint, and it’s no more significant than any other gas release from the body. It’s very similar to what happens when you open a champagne bottle, but in an enclosed joint space. The popping sound in chiropractic care does not actually matter at all. Whether or not you hear it makes absolutely no difference to the effectiveness of the adjustment!!

All it really means is that the chiropractor adjusted you very quickly. We know that higher adjustment speed means better outcomes, and silent adjustments with ultra-fast speed techniques, like proper Activator Methods, if they improve spinal function, are just as good as loud popping ones.

Four compelling advantages of Activator Methods® that set us apart from the rest:

1. Precision and Speed for Unmatched Comfort: Our approach delivers chiropractic adjustments with remarkable precision, speed and utmost safety, ensuring a comfortable and accessible experience for everyone. We eliminate patient discomfort and significantly reduce the risk of complications associated with traditional manual adjustments, making our care suitable for all—including children, pregnant women, the elderly, those managing illness, and patients with surgical history.

2. Chiropractic adjustments shouldn’t feel one-size-fits-all. Activator Methods chiropractic care breaks away from the one-size-fits-all approach. Unlike conventional manual techniques that target broad areas, potentially missing the true source of dysfunction and even inadvertently adjusting areas that shouldn’t be, our approach is precision personified.

We pinpoint specific, localised areas for adjustment, honing in on a single, isolated vertebra or a targeted muscle. What sets us apart is our ability to apply the appropriate force to these narrow targets, mirroring the impact of a traditional manual technique on a larger region. With precision and experience, we identify your specific dysfunctional spinal segments (and other areas of your body), ensuring that every adjustment is designed to maximise results and cater to your well-being.

3. Muscles shouldn’t resist movement: In many manual approaches, when a practitioner lies on their hands, patient muscles tense up. It’s an unavoidable behaviour that drastically reduces the effect of adjustments. To bypass this automatic body response, we use deep-penetration, low-force waves from Activator Methods, providing patient comfort and eliminating discomfort. Experience precise, fast and gentle adjustments that target localised areas swiftly before your muscles have a chance to tense up. No more joint twisting, tugging, cracking, or popping!

4. Clinically Tested and Proven: Choosing our Activator Methods chiropractic care means opting for a technique that is not only innovative but also backed by extensive clinical research. Our approach is the most thoroughly researched chiropractic technique, with unequivocal proof of its benefits. You can trust in the scientific validation and proven results that come with our clinically tested Activator Methods.
