How We Help
Think all chiropractic clinics are the same? THINK AGAIN! Most Singaporeans have come to expect a quick ‘in-and-out’, ‘5 minutes or less’ upon their regular visits to their chiropractor. While this may satisfy some, we at Absolute Chiropractic offer you a very different experience…
Absolute Chiropractic uses state-of-the-art spinal corrective technology in order to give every practice member specific, scientifically-based chiropractic care following the Chiropractic BioPhysics® or CBP® Technique - among the most researched techniques in the field.
On average, our practice members will spend about 45 minutes to 1 hour for each visit. What do we do during that time? Here’s a short outline of what you can expect for your regular visits with us:
Power Plate®
Found at all elite gyms around the world, whole body vibration (WBV) offered by the Power Plate® was initially used by cosmonauts in an effort to solve the problems of muscle atrophy and bone loss created by the zero-gravity environment of outer space.
At Absolute Chiropractic, we use WBV to warm up the body/spine at the start of your appointment and also to assist in various exercises related to correcting spinal alignment and posture. Use of the Power Plate® has been linked with a broad spectrum of health benefits including increased strength, balance, flexibility, improved circulation, weight loss, pain reduction, and many more.
Exercise
At Absolute Chiropractic we strongly emphasize the importance of YOU participating actively in YOUR healing process. Therefore, everyone is taught a range of specific exercises and stretches pertinent to their condition. Your exercises will complement the chiropractic care received in the clinic, empowering you to help your body heal from the comfort of your home. In general, the exercises will stabilize and re-educate those areas of your body that need it most, consolidating the effects of your chiropractic care and expediting the healing process. They also help to break your poor postural habits that contributed to your problem in the first place.
Adjustment
The chiropractic adjustment is one of the most important components of this corrective process. It is a very specific, calculated, input of force that is gently and safely applied to your spine. An adjustment is only done by a chiropractor, and is done by hand or with a corrective tool (ie. Activator)– in order to restore proper alignment, biomechanical function, and neurologic input to the brain.
Our chiropractic doctors are experts at assessing and identifying the areas of your spine that need to be adjusted, and will do so utilizing a range of different techniques to suit the requirements of the individual.
Spinal Traction
Featuring two cervical traction units, two lumbar traction units, and two 3D Denneroll® Traction Tables, Absolute Chiropractic is currently one of the only chiropractic clinics in Singapore that offers all the necessities in correcting spinal and postural deviations in both the sagittal plane (from the side) and coronal plane (from the front). From correcting problems like forward head carriage (also called 'text neck' or 'hunchback'), to swayback or flatback (loss of curve in lower back), or improving cases of scoliosis-- spinal traction is an absolute must when it comes to spinal and postural correction. To attain maximum correction potential and lasting changes, a time frame of 10 to 20 minutes per traction will be required. Some spines may require 2 to 3 variations of spinal traction per session.
ArthroStim®
The ArthroStim® is a hand-held adjusting instrument hosting a variety of uses; from assisting to adjust the spine to releasing myofascial trigger points and muscle spasm. It produces a succession of rapidly repeating, high velocity-low amplitude thrusts in areas the doctor will dictate. The rapid thrust and unique recoil produced by the ArthroStim® activates the patient's proprioceptors and mechanoreceptors.
VibraCussor®
The Vibracussor® is a specialized hand-held vibration tool used by our chiropractic doctors to target deep and superficial soft tissue planes, allowing them to soften up muscles/tendons, increase circulation, and break up scar tissue and fascial adhesions. Not only does the VibraCussor® assist in relaxing and preparing the body for the adjustment, but it also has great success in relieving minor aches and pains to chronic muscle tension.
