As trained Chiropractors we have been taught to see how the Spine works. How it moves, how it feels and what this means to you, your injury and your health. When it comes to niggling back pain, neck pain and other common complaints, our primary goal is to figure out WHY you have the issue you do. This means more than just hands on treatment.
Our unique 5 step process covers hands on treatment, exercises and strengthening, education and more.
Chiropractic has traditionally just been focused on Manipulation of the spine and we agree that this can be helpful.
However, by combining traditional approaches with the latest technology and up to date research we have adapted how we work over time to get you the best results possible.

What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a natural, safe approach to health care that focuses on using gentle and precise adjustments to realign the spine and joints: relieving nerve pressure, promoting better joint movement, reducing inflammation, and encouraging strength and pain free flexibility exercise.
Research suggests that chiropractic adjustments lead to improved spinal alignment, joint function, and reduced pain in conditions such as lower back pain, neck discomfort, and tension headaches. Additionally, some studies indicate that chiropractic interventions may contribute to enhanced nerve communication, potentially fostering better neurological function. Many individuals who have received chiropractic care report not only pain relief but also improved quality of life and a greater sense of balance and vitality.
What do our clinicians do?
At Cardiff Pain and Performance our clinicians use all the latest research to bring to the clinic the fastest, most effective treatments in musculoskeletal health, neurology, and spinal alignment to provide fast and lasting pain relief.
Through targeted adjustments and manual techniques, we swiftly address the root causes of pain, which may be related to misalignments or dysfunction in the spine and joints. By realigning these structures, we can alleviate pressure on nerves, enhance circulation, and promote the body's natural healing processes, leading to rapid pain reduction and improved mobility for their patients.
At Cardiff Pain and Performance our team are trained in many techniques and in addition to spinal and joint manipulation, we often use soft tissue and muscle relaxing techniques together with mobility and strength exercise rehabilitation.
At the foundation of all of our treatments: Our expert team use a neurology focused technique called P-DTR. We are the only clinic in the world that has two instructors working in the clinic. We pride ourselves on being a centre of excellence and the clinic serves as a teaching clinic for students around the world interested in learning the technique.
P-DTR is a unique approach to resolving Chronic Pain. This gentle, non-invasive and pain free approach allows us to find areas of the body that the Brain is seeing as “threatening” and as a result, increasing Pain signals to the body. Finding these areas of increased sensitivity typically found around past trauma we then “reset” them so that the Brain can finally stop Pain signals from being sent.
It is this unique approach that has led to our array of 5* reviews and excellent local reputation. We are often seen as the “last hope” for many patients with chronic pain, and using our unique blend and 5 Step Process, we shine a deeper light on understanding WHY a problem exists in the first place.
To guide you through the process of recovery we have developed a unique 5 Step Process, we use our Thor Red Light Laser to help improve the initial healing. Once done, we use hands on techniques to allow the body to settle, reduce pain and free movement.
We can progress you through a bespoke exercise plan, housed within our Members Portal we our patients can gain access through their unique logon.
The Goal is to not just get you out of Pain, but to end up being stronger, more resilient, so that the issue does not re-occur!
All our chiropractors are fully registered through the General Chiropractic Council, members and accredited through their professional bodies and fully insured.

How does Chiropractic work?
Chiropractic adjustments influence neurology through their impact on the spine’s alignment and its relationship to the nervous system. The central nervous system, which includes the brain and spinal cord, is a vital communication network that coordinates bodily functions.
Spinal Misalignments
Chiropractors believe that misalignments or subluxations of the spine can interfere with nerve function and communication. These misalignments are thought to disrupt the flow of nerve signals, potentially leading to pain, dysfunction, and other health issues.
Release of Pressure
Chiropractic adjustments involve precise movements that are intended to realign vertebrae and alleviate pressure on nerves. This release of pressure is thought to restore normal nerve flow, allowing signals to travel more efficiently between the brain and the body.
Nerve Irritation
Misaligned vertebrae might irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain and discomfort. By realigning the spine, chiropractors aim to reduce this irritation and promote a healthier nerve environment
Pain Reduction
Chiropractic adjustments help with pain relief, and pain management since pain signals travel through nerves to the brain, and by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal issues causing pain, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the transmission of pain signals
Neural Plasticity
Studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments have the potential to influence neural plasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt. It is thought that by improving spinal alignment, chiropractic care might positively affect brain function and sensory processing. Reducing pain and improving balance.
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate. Early research suggests that chiropractic care through spinal adjustments could influence the autonomic nervous system, potentially leading to improved balance between its sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) branches.
