Chiropractic at The Adelaide Disc Center

At The Adelaide Disc Center, we employ a diverse array of chiropractic techniques and advanced equipment to provide holistic care for musculoskeletal disorders. Our approach integrates various methods to ensure comprehensive and effective treatment for our patients.

Book an Appointment

This widely used method involves high-velocity, low-amplitude thrusts to realign the spine and joints. It is effective for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, and headaches, offering quick relief to patients. It is the technique that most people think of when talking about chiropractic adjustments and is the most widely used technique in the chiropractic profession.

Utilizing a handheld device, this technique delivers gentle impulses to specific areas of the spine or joints. It is particularly suited for patients who prefer a less forceful approach and is effective for neck pain, low back pain, and headaches. It is the second most widely used technique in the chiropractic profession. At The Adelaide Disc Center we use a hand held electronic version of the Activator called an Arthrostim, as well as the original, smaller hand held device.

This technique uses a state of the art, Korean made “drop piece” adjusting table. This table can also be used to provide a very gentle stretch and traction of the spine. Although it is not a true spinal decompression table, it does allow for a very comfortable, gentle stretch that can help to decrease the pressure on the spinal joints and the spinal discs. This can help to decrease spinal compression as well as alleviating pressure on spinal nerves, reducing spinal pain and improving mobility.

This is sometimes described as Terminal Point technique. It uses the Korean made Raphael 707 drop table. The dropping motion of the table makes it very comfortable for most patients. The precise, but gentle “drop” creates a very fast and accurate movement of the spinal joint. It allows me to be very precise in selecting the joint to be adjusted, as well as in choosing the direction or “line of drive” of the adjustment. This style of adjustment creates the movement at the joint without the traditional “pop and cracking” of the spine. It is a very effective technique for pain coming from the larger joints of the pelvis as well as the lower back.

ArthroStim

This electronic activator instrument delivers precise, gentle impulses to specific areas of the spine and joints. It is a firmer impulse than the traditional chiropractic activator instrument thrust. It is particularly effective for patients who require a more delicate approach, or more targeted adjustments than traditional adjustments, but prefer a firmer impulse than the hand held activator instrument.

VibroStim

A deep massage release tool, the VibroStim provides powerful yet soothing vibrations that penetrate deeply into tissues. It promotes circulation, relieves tension, and complements other techniques by enhancing pain relief and mobility. It is particularly effective in breaking up muscle adhesion's and improving lymphatic drainage, helping to accelerate recovery from injury.

Raphael 707

This hi-tech table is one of the most advanced chiropractic adjusting tables in the world. It is a Korean-made drop piece table that enhances spinal adjustments by allowing specific segments of the spine to drop slightly during the adjustment. This controlled drop reduces the force needed for corrections, making the process more comfortable while maintaining high precision.

Cold Laser Therapy

Dr. Weiland uses a custom-designed cold laser, produced to his specifications by one of the largest medical-grade cold laser companies in the world. This advanced laser utilizes German-made diodes and has been employed both in clinic and during his time serving overseas with the national Australian Ice Hockey teams. Cold laser therapy is effective in reducing inflammation, promoting healing, and alleviating pain.

Custom Orthotics and Heel Lifts

We emphasize the importance of custom-formed orthotics and heel lifts in preventing long-term joint damage caused by conditions such as short leg and pelvic tilt. These imbalances can lead to chronic misalignment and accelerated wear and tear on joints. Dr. Weiland prefers the Vasyli brand of orthotics due to their affordability and custom moldability. These orthotics help correct imbalances, promote even weight distribution, and reduce internal rotation of the lower limb, decreasing stress on the hips.

By integrating these techniques and tools, we offer a comprehensive, non-invasive approach to chiropractic care. Our goal is to enhance your overall well-being, improve function, and prevent long-term damage through tailored and effective treatments.

Key Goals of Chiropractic Care:

We operate on the foundational belief that spinal misalignments, known as subluxations, can disrupt the nervous system and lead to a variety of health issues. By identifying and addressing these misalignments, we work to reduce pain, restore mobility, improve your health and support your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive.

Alleviate Pain

Our targeted spinal adjustments and our tailored techniques offer effective relief for both chronic and acute pain.

Whether due to recent injuries, long-term conditions, or everyday wear and tear, we customize treatments to address the root causes of your pain and discomfort.

By focusing on underlying issues, we not only work on reducing your pain, but also on promote lasting healing and improve overall quality of life.

Restore Mobility

Chiropractic adjustments aim to enhance spine and joint mobility, making movement and daily tasks more comfortable and effortless. Improved joint mobility reduces spinal stress, lowering the risk of strain, inflammation, and injury while promoting overall well-being.

This holistic approach supports better posture, improved physical function, and long-term spinal health, helping you enjoy a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.

Improve Health

Chiropractic care supports natural healing by correcting spinal misalignments and optimizing nervous system function. This helps to restore normal joint movement and mobility to individual spinal joints as well as to the overall spine in a global sense.

This approach promotes overall well-being, enhances the body’s ability to maintain health, and boosts vitality and resilience, helping you experience less discomfort and more energy in daily life.

Conditions We Treat

Our comprehensive chiropractic services are tailored to manage a wide range of conditions. Some of the common issues we address include:

Back Pain

One of the most frequent reasons individuals seek chiropractic care, back pain can arise from poor posture, injuries, or degenerative conditions such as arthritis. Our spinal adjustments aim to relieve pain, enhance functionality, and help you return to your daily activities with greater ease.

Headaches

Tension headaches and migraines are often linked to spinal misalignments and muscle tension. By addressing these underlying issues, chiropractic care can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches, providing much-needed relief and improving your overall quality of life.

Sciatica

Characterized by pain radiating along the sciatic nerve, sciatica can result from conditions such as herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to relieve pressure on the nerve, alleviate pain, and improve nerve function, supporting your recovery and comfort.

Neck Pain

Neck pain, often resulting from poor ergonomics, whiplash injuries, or muscle tension, can significantly impact your quality of life. Chiropractic adjustments work to alleviate tension, restore proper alignment, and improve neck mobility, enabling you to move more comfortably.

Joint Pain

Joint pain in areas such as the knees, shoulders, or hips can be debilitating and limit your mobility. Our targeted treatments aim to improve joint function, reduce inflammation, and enhance your overall movement, helping you regain your active lifestyle.

Sports Injuries

Athletes often seek chiropractic care for effective treatment of sports-related injuries. We develop personalized rehabilitation programs to enhance recovery, improve performance, and prevent future injuries, helping you get back to your sport stronger and more resilient.

Postural Imbalances

Postural imbalances, such as forward head carriage, text neck, and imbalanced pelvis, can lead to various musculoskeletal issues and discomfort.

Forward Head Carriage: This condition occurs when the head juts forward relative to the spine, often due to poor ergonomics or prolonged screen time. It can cause neck pain, upper back discomfort, and headaches. Chiropractic adjustments and posture correction techniques help to realign the spine and alleviate related symptoms.

Text Neck: This term refers to the strain and discomfort resulting from prolonged use of mobile devices, leading to a forward head posture. Chiropractic care addresses this issue by focusing on spinal alignment, muscle relaxation, and postural education to prevent and relieve pain.

Imbalanced Pelvis: An imbalanced pelvis can result from factors like uneven leg length or poor posture, leading to lower back pain, hip discomfort, and gait issues. Chiropractic adjustments and custom orthotics help correct pelvic alignment and restore balance, improving overall function and reducing discomfort.

At The Adelaide Disc Center, we are committed to providing personalized, effective care to address your unique health needs. By combining advanced chiropractic techniques with a thorough understanding of your condition, we strive to support your journey to better health and well-being.
