HOW Does chiropractic treatment work?
When you first visit our St Lucia chiropractors, we’ll do an assessment so we can understand your pain and how it’s affecting you.
After that, we do an examination to identify why your pain is happening and what our diagnosis is. Then we can start treatment to alleviate your pain. Our treatments include…
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) uses muscle release techniques that involve shortening and lengthening the muscle under pressure to break up scar tissue and tightness. It’s our primary method for treating problems relating to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.
Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation is when a chiropractor adjusts a joint with a quick thrust motion (commonly known as getting your ‘cracked’) to decrease pressure on the joint. Whilst definitely helpful, most chiropractors only focus on this area. We use multiple techniques for a holistic approach.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is used to elicit a response from your soft tissues (the muscle will often ‘twitch’) to release tension and aid healing. Think of it like a super-deep massage which can be very satisfying and helpful. Whilst it may look like acupuncture, dry needling is more focused on releasing tensions and knots.
Exercise Therapy
Our goal is to help you live pain-free, and even though we love seeing you, we’ve truly succeeded if you don’t need to come back! In addition to therapy, our St Lucia chiropractor will provide you with a specific program to better manage your sports injury and try to prevent it from returning.
100% Satisfaction guarantee.
Our St Lucia chiropractors are very experienced. They have been worked around the world, travelling with professional athletes and being their personal chiro.

What makes our St Lucia chiropractic clinic different?
We find the root cause.
Our priority is to fix the root cause of your pain, not just provide temporary relief to the symptom. We want you to live pain-free, not have to come back every week for a treatment.
We use multiple techniques.
Many clinics only use 1 or 2 treatment methods. At Elite, we offer a variety of modalities in the same session including active release, soft tissue massage, manipulation and needling.
See improvement in 1 session.
We aim to make a noticeable change in your pain and mobility from your very first appointment, so you can start to restore movement and reduce inflammation right away.
Imagine not even having to think about your injury.
What if you were able to work comfortably, exercise freely and get on with your life without having to constantly worry about making it worse? That’s what our chiropractors want to help you achieve.

Absolutely! Chiropractic care, utilising techniques such as massage, physical therapy and dry needling, can help with chronic pain, neck pain, lower back pain and shoulder pain.
We start by examining and assessing your condition to determine the underlying causes, like spinal misalignments, muscle tension, or joint dysfunction. Then, we create a personalised treatment plan for you.
A chiropractic adjustment is used to restore proper spine alignment, reducing nerve irritation, muscle tension, and improving joint mobility. Soft tissue therapy involves techniques like massage and myofascial release to address muscle imbalances and tension. Dry needling uses thin needles to target trigger points and release muscle tightness.
We may also recommend therapeutic exercises and lifestyle adjustments to enhance your overall well-being, posture, and muscle strength.
Remember, the effectiveness of treatment varies for each person. While some experience significant relief after a few sessions, others with complex conditions may require ongoing care. We'll closely monitor your progress, make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, and provide guidance on self-care techniques.
