Chiropractic with a difference
Our guiding philosophy at Align HQ is based on the principle that through living a more natural lifestyle we can uncover our inherent state of well being. We begin this process through using a cutting edge chiropractic technique called ABC (Advanced Bio-structural Correction).
When our bodies are out of alignment this can lead to pain and dysfunction in our muscles, joints and nerves, creating discomfort in the way we feel and move. Through a series of specific ABC adjustments we begin to align the structure, uncovering a balanced and upright posture which is effortless to maintain.
As our bodies go through the process of unwinding they start to let go of built up tension and stress in the system leading to a reduction in pain and symptoms and an improved feeling of wellbeing and more optimal function overall.
At Align HQ we take the time to assess each patient individually and tailor our treatment to suit each unique body and circumstance.

What to expect
Initial appointments
During your initial appointment at Align HQ we will discuss your case and your goals through asking important and detailed questions regarding your health.

This is your second appointment where we’ll discuss in more detail the nature of your condition and outline a detailed plan for getting you moving and feeling better as quickly as possible.
Ongoing appointments
After your initial appointments our focus is on getting you adjusted, moving and feeling better. Depending on your goals you’ll be prescribed and guided through exercises and lifestyle modifications to compliment treatment.
Understanding ABC Chiropractic
ABC Chiropractic is based on 4 key principles.
1. Your body has an ability to heal.
This is self evident if you have ever cut yourself or broken a bone. ABC acknowledges this innate ability of the body and seeks to work with it rather than against it.
2. The body can not correct all ailments and problems.
When your body cannot correct a problem it will compensate. As a result your body becomes stiff, rigid, and movement becomes harder.
3. ABC focuses on correcting only what your body cannot self correct.
ABC only looks to correct the things that your body cannot on its own. Once these obstructions are removed our bodies can begin to take care of the things it can correct.
4. Correct alignment (posture) is vital for health and living pain free.
Posture is often overlooked as playing a major role in our health. However changes in posture place unnecessary pressure on joints, muscles and nerves, leading to pain and dysfunction.
