About Peak Function Chiropractic
Our Philosophy
When we understand the causal factor of your symptoms, we can design a program to correct the issue at its source so the body can heal and return to optimal performance.
Our belief is that the “equation” of health is: DNA (genetics) make up your structure, and your structure is what allows you to function in your environment. Since we can’t change your environment, our goal is to help your structure function to its maximum ability.

Our Approach
Our whole-body method of restoring optimal mobility and function is based on addressing the joints of the spine and body, muscles and soft tissues and functional movement patterns. We start by correcting and strengthening our Core.
Our Core: Build Your House on Stone
Our core is the central part of the body that includes your pelvis, stomach, lower AND upper back, shoulders, neck, and head. The core is a group of muscles that stabilises and controls the pelvis and spine and directly influences the legs and arms and head.
The core provides stability, balance, postural support and generates force and correct movement in our legs and arms.
The Triangle model of care is tailored to your specific needs and goals, whether those goals are simple pain relief or world-class athletic performance.
Utilising chiropractic adjustments and moblisations, soft tissue work, stretching, activating and deactivating muscles appropriately, corrective exercise, and functional movement training, our goal is to improve your body’s neuroplasticity so you can move and function your best.
