Kirwan Complete Care
The Right Choice For Every Body
Kirwan Complete Care helps people from every walk of life to feel their best with professionally-administered services. With the assistance of an experienced sports chiropractor, we’ll help you overcome injury and manage chronic pain, helping you enhance your quality of life. In our clinic, we use a range of chiropractic and soft tissue techniques whose use depends upon the person we are seeing and their condition.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic is a drug and surgery-free modality of treatment concerned with the diagnosis, management and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculo-skeletal system; this includes the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health. Chiropractors focus on the detection and correction of abnormal spinal function and its subsequent effect on how the nervous system controls & coordinates the body in response to its environment.
Active Release Technique
The Active Release Technique is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement-based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently. Dr Paul Klich is one of the few doctors in North Queensland with full body ART qualifications.
Injury Rehabilitation
Chiropractors and physiotherapists can assess and treat an injury, but also evaluate the underlying causes, such as mechanical or structural problems. We look at not only reducing pain but also at improving function and performance during recovery. This includes, but is not limited to, areas such as the neck, mid back, low back, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle.
Massage Therapy
Take a proactive approach to your recovery and ensure you’re giving your body the attention it needs.
At Kirwan Complete Care, we use a variety of massage therapies to help people of all ages and with complaints of every kind to overcome pain, tightness or inflexibility to allow them to enjoy an active lifestyle.
RockTape
RockTape is a kinesiology tape used to treat injuries such as shin splints, plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee and back pain. It is commonly used for sporting injuries, as the tape creates a decompressive effect by microscopically lifting the skin away from the muscle and fascia below. It can relieve pain and swelling, and promote a quicker recovery.
Professional Exercise Advice
At Kirwan Complete Care, we offer comprehensive exercise advice to complement your treatment. We also work very closely with the leading Townsville and Kirwan personal trainers, yoga instructors and exercise physiologists to further provide a holistic approach to the treatment we offer.
Myo-Bars
Myo Bars or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a therapy involving profiled edge tools to potentiate a variety of muscle or fascial techniques. The method employs a collection of five stainless steel tools of particular shapes and sizes, which are used to release patients’ muscles in order to detect and resolve adhesions. Myo-Bars treatment has been used in triathlons, NRL, AFL, cross fit and many contact sports.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is the use of either solid filiform needles (also referred to as acupuncture needles) or hollow-core hypodermic needles for treatment of muscle pain. Dry needling is sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulation (IMS). It is often confused with acupuncture, though the treatment tool is the same, the philosophy of acupuncture is that of Chinese medicine and not the same as dry needling.
