Our Approach: Optimal Body Efficiency

 

David’s philosophy is centred on getting your body working as efficiently as possible, going beyond simply fixing the immediate injury. This approach helps patients not only recover faster but also maintain long-term health and peak function.

A typical appointment with David always includes assessment, whether you are seeing him for the first time or the the fiftieth. Starting in this way allows David to check how your body is functioning, rather than just focussing on your symptoms.

Like all of our chiropractors, David’s is a top-to-toe approach. In evaluating your entire body, we are able to find and address underlying causes to pain and potential future issues.

Treatment with David can incorporate both adjusting and dry-needling, but for those with particular soft-tissue needs, David works closely with our soft-tissue therapist Harry.
