Chiropractic
As chiropractors, we understand that central to your body’s health is a well-functioning spine and nervous system. Since the nervous system controls and coordinates nearly every function in the human body, even a subtle shift in posture or alignment can compromise its ability to maintain health and balance, leading to pain and dysfunction.
Here at Continuum Chiropractic, we work to uncover the root cause of any presenting issues you may have. Having back pain doesn’t necessarily mean you have a bad back - the problem could lie elsewhere, and it’s our job to find the cause. While medicine typically focuses on reducing symptoms, we focus on correcting, stabilising, and maintaining the normal function of the spine and nervous system to improve overall well-being in the long-term.
Our experienced team of chiropractors work directly on your spine, pelvis and cranium to correct any misalignments which may be creating imbalance in surrounding muscles and ligaments. We use a variety of different techniques to achieve this and always tailor our approach according to your individual needs.
At Continuum Chiropractic, we are guided by our commitment to being honest with you about your symptoms and what the underlying cause is. We also believe strongly in openness and transparency, and love to share our knowledge with you, so that you can leave our practice more aware and empowered in your own health journey.

Perinatal Chiropractic
Our perinatal chiropractor Chloe Powell is dedicated to helping you to cherish your pregnancy and have the birthing experience you desire. Because chiropractic is concerned with the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, it is a wonderful way to support a physiologic pregnancy and birth.
The changes experienced in pregnancy can be very rapid – weight gain, postural shifts and hormonal changes to name but a few, and many women are still trying to keep up with work, home and social demands too. All these factors can place an extra strain on the body and bring up issues like pain, discomfort, digestive issues and poor sleep. Babies in utero are also very sensitive to everything going on in their mother’s body and will respond to any shifts in her posture by changing their own position, which could result in a breech or other presentation. All these factors could mean a more difficult labour and delivery for both mum and baby, so it makes sense for a woman’s body to be well balanced during pregnancy and in preparation for birth.
During pregnancy, Chiropractor Chloe Powell uses The Webster Technique - an exceptionally specific and gentle technique to realign any imbalances in the spine, pelvis and cranium, allowing your body to function optimally. In the postnatal period, chiropractic care is also a wonderful way to optimise healing and guide your body back into balance. As a mother herself, Chloe has an intimate understanding of what it is to be pregnant and give birth, and loves caring for women at this unique time of their lives.

Paediatric Chiropractic
People are often surprised to hear how many babies and children we help in our practice. It’s something most people have never even considered. However, many people are now choosing to use chiropractic care from birth and throughout life when their child has symptoms, but also for prevention.
In the first 2 years of life alone, over 90% of a child’s neurological foundation is formed. The spine and cranium house the core of the nervous system, and even subtle shifts in positioning or alignment can interfere with its correct functioning, leading to symptoms and less optimal health. However, you don’t have to wait for an issue to see our chiropractors for your baby or child – being proactive gives them the best start in life, allowing their health to thrive uninhibited.
Our dedicated paediatric chiropractor Chloe Powell is specialised in the care of babies and children. The chiropractic techniques that she uses are exceptionally gentle and non-invasive, which is why so many babies even sleep through their adjustments. Cranial techniques, visceral releases of the digestive system and gentle spinal corrections are used to reduce any residual tension from the birth process and guide the body into a more relaxed state.
Toddlers and older children also really benefit from chiropractic care to help make sure their bodies are growing, developing and functioning as they need to. We often under-estimate the long-term impact of bumps and falls in toddlers, but it’s worth remembering that just because there’s no pain or obvious problem, doesn't mean there aren’t any imbalances below the surface.
Chiropractor Chloe Powell sees children of all age, from tiny premature newborns up to young teenagers. Please contact Chloe directly if you have any questions about your baby or child.

Professional Applied Kinesiology
Professional Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a system of diagnosis using manual muscle testing. It is a completely non-invasive technique that can uniquely evaluate body function by testing specific muscles. In contrast to the practice of more basic kinesiology, the discipline of Professional Applied Kinesiology is a postgraduate training available only to practitioners with previous medical training, such as chiropractors, doctors and osteopaths.
Chiropractor Gert Lippens has extensive experience in Professional Applied Kinesiology, having used it in practice for 20 years and covering more than 500 hours of post-graduate study. He often uses this subtle and sensitive diagnostic tool during his treatments as a way to gather more information from the body and find answers which may otherwise be hidden beneath layers of compensation.
The philosophy of Applied Kinesiology is based around the triad of health. Structural, chemical and mental factors all unite to form this triad and ideally are in complete balance and synchrony with one another. Literally all health problems are related to at least one part of this triad, with a reciprocal effect in the other parts. Using AK allows Chiropractor Gert Lippens to evaluate the balance of this triad and direct appropriate therapy.
Chiropractor Gert Lippens integrates many aspects of Professional Applied Kinesiology with his regular chiropractic visits. If you would like to enquire about a dedicated Applied Kinesiology session, please get in touch with Gert directly.
Chiropractors Gert and Chloe are both fully registered members of the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) and the United Chiropractic Association (UCA). Chiropractor Chloe Powell is also a member of the International Chiropractic Paediatrics Association.
