Spine Biomechanics

The Expert Spine Biomechanics division is dedicated to analyzing and improving spinal function and mechanics using advanced diagnostics and therapeutic techniques. Our specialists assess posture, movement patterns, and spine function and loading behaviour. This is combined to understand injury mechanisms and pain triggers which create a biological tipping point exceeding tissue and/or pain tolerance. The process of these specialised consultations is to root out the mechanical cause of the specific triggers and restore balance in the biological tipping point to facilitate healthy adaptations and promote the healing cycle.

Once a precise diagnosis is reached formulation of the collaborative plan is created while informing and educating the patient to enhance their understanding and ability to manage tissue stress and therapeutic decision making. Treatment plans are designed to enhance spinal health, reduce pain, prevent future injuries, and even enhance physical performance and athleticism.

Expert Spine Biomechanics sessions are typically 3 hours in duration and range from 2.5 to 4 hours depending on the case and patient presentation. Neck, mid-back and lower back pain are assessed during these intensive consultation assessments. Patients will be asked to provide detailed historical reports, imaging studies and be prepared for an intensive half day of history taking, diagnostic testing, and biomechanical interventions to address their mechanical spine disorders.
