Relief from Back Pain with Chiropractic Care You Can Trust

At Mt Eden Chiropractic, we understand how debilitating back pain can be. Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp discomfort, pain can make even the simplest tasks feel overwhelming. With over 25 years of experience, our friendly and professional team is here to help you feel better and move better—naturally.

We take a comprehensive approach to care, using a wide range of chiropractic techniques to tailor treatment to each individual. No two spines are the same, so why would the care be?

Our Approach Includes:

• Gonstead Technique – A precise, hands-on method focused on finding and correcting misalignments in the spine using X-ray analysis and specific adjustments.
• Applied Kinesiology – A system that uses muscle testing to assess the body’s structural, chemical, and emotional imbalances, helping guide effective treatment.
• Activator Method® – A gentle, instrument-assisted technique ideal for those who prefer low-force adjustments.
• Diversified Technique – A classic manual adjustment approach used to restore normal motion and alignment.
• Soft Tissue Therapies – To relieve tension, improve circulation, and support the healing process.

At the heart of our care is the correction of vertebral subluxation—a subtle but significant misalignment of the spine that can interfere with nerve function. Subluxations often cause or contribute to back pain, stiffness, and other health concerns. By addressing these misalignments, we support your body’s natural ability to heal and function optimally.

Evidence-Based Results: The Haas Study

A landmark study by Dr. Mitchell Haas and colleagues, published in The Spine Journal, examined the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for chronic low back pain. The randomized controlled trial found that chiropractic care significantly reduced pain and improved function in patients with chronic low back pain. The study also highlighted a dose-response relationship, indicating that more frequent chiropractic visits led to greater improvements in pain and disability outcomes (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

Advanced Diagnostic Tools for Accurate Assessment

To ensure precise diagnosis and effective care planning, we utilize on-site X-rays and thermal scanning during your initial assessment. These advanced diagnostic tools allow us to:

• Identify structural misalignments and abnormalities in the spine.
• Detect areas of inflammation and nerve interference.
• Monitor progress and adjust care plans as needed.

By combining these diagnostic tools with our extensive experience and diverse chiropractic techniques, we provide personalized care aimed at achieving lasting relief from back pain.

We believe that education is key to long-term health. That’s why we host fortnightly workshops every second Wednesday at 6 PM.
