Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care at Flynn Chiro is built around understanding how your body moves, not a one-size-fits-all routine. Dr Flynn Pettersson (Chiropractor) takes a practical, individually tailored approach to help you move better and feel more comfortable in everyday life.

How Flynn Approaches Chiropractic Care

Rather than relying on traditional chiropractic language or complicated medical jargon, Flynn prefers to explain things in practical, easy-to-understand terms. He focuses on what you can actually feel and see, such as restricted movement, stiffness, reduced range of motion, or changes in strength and function. If something isn’t moving the way it should, he’ll show you and explain how that may relate to what you’re experiencing.

Where there’s a clear neurological component involved, such as nerve-related pain, Flynn will talk you through what’s happening using models or imagery so you understand what’s going on and what the plan involves. His explanation always reflects your specific situation rather than a generic script, because every patient’s presentation is different.

Techniques Used

Flynn primarily uses a diversified technique, alongside drop-piece adjusting, the Activator Method, trigger point therapy, and Active Release Technique (ART) for soft tissue work. He doesn’t use Gonstead or dry needling, so if you’re looking for a practitioner using either of those specific methods, it’s worth knowing in advance.

Soft tissue and muscular release work is a consistent part of how Flynn provides care, alongside muscle strength testing where relevant. He takes the time to properly assess and prepare the area before any adjustment, rather than moving straight into care without first understanding what’s going on.

Conditions We See

The most common reasons patients visit Flynn Chiro are neck pain, back pain, and headaches, though care isn’t limited to these. Flynn also regularly sees patients for:

  • Sports injuries
  • Hip pain
  • Frozen shoulder
  • Sciatica
  • Whiplash injury

Whatever brings you in, the approach is the same: a thorough assessment first, followed by a plan built around your specific situation.

While chiropractic care is often an important part of the picture, Flynn recognises that some situations benefit from additional perspectives. When appropriate, he’s happy to work alongside GPs, physiotherapists, osteopaths, massage therapists, and other healthcare providers to help patients access the support that best suits their needs.
