Three treatments. One practitioner. One coordinated plan.
We offer three things that most chiropractic clinics don't: chiropractic care, laser therapy, and clinical Pilates — all under one roof, all run by the same practitioner who sees you from day one. That matters because your back doesn't exist in isolation.
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care at Momentum is grounded in over 30 years of clinical experience — and it goes well beyond what most people expect. Yes, spinal adjustments are central to what I do. But good chiropractic care means understanding what's causing the problem, not just treating the symptom in front of you.
Every patient gets a proper assessment before any treatment begins. From there I develop a care plan that addresses the specific mechanical, muscular and postural contributors to the problem — and that changes as you progress, because what you need in week one isn't always what you need in week six.
What chiropractic care at Momentum includes:
- Spinal and peripheral joint adjustments
- Soft tissue therapy — massage, myofascial release, trigger point work
- Postural assessment and correction
- Rehabilitation exercise prescription
- Home exercise programming
- Ergonomic advice and activity modification
- Co-management with GPs and specialists when indicated
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of light to interact with cells in the underlying tissue, supporting the body's natural healing process, reducing inflammation and relieving pain. It sounds high-tech, but it's been in clinical use for decades.
It's non-invasive. Most people describe feeling little or nothing, sometimes a mild warmth. Sessions take 10–15 minutes and can be incorporated into a broader treatment appointment, with no recovery time needed.
Where laser therapy can assist:
- Tendinopathy — Achilles, rotator cuff, patellar, lateral epicondyle
- Muscle strains and soft tissue injuries
- Joint inflammation and arthritic conditions
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Cervical and lumbar spine pain with inflammatory component
- Post-operative or post-injury tissue healing support
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates is not a fitness class. I prescribe it the same way I'd prescribe any other treatment — based on what your body actually needs, not a generic programme. For patients recovering from back or neck injuries, managing chronic pain, or wanting to build long-term physical resilience, it fills a gap that hands-on treatment alone can't cover.
The focus is on developing deep core stability, restoring spinal control, and rebuilding the neuromuscular patterns that protect you from re-injury. Every exercise has a purpose. Progressions happen when your body is ready, not on a schedule.
What sets clinical Pilates apart:
- Prescribed by a registered health professional
- Based on individual assessment findings and diagnosis
- Each exercise selected for a specific clinical purpose
- Progressions guided by clinical response, not a generic schedule
- Fully integrated with your chiropractic care plan
- Suitable for patients with injuries, chronic pain and deconditioning
Why integrated care gets better results
Each treatment modality targets different aspects of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Together, they address the problem from multiple angles simultaneously — with the aim of longer-lasting improvement.
One Practitioner
All three modalities are prescribed and delivered by Dr Poulton — the same person who assessed you. There are no handoffs, no miscommunication between providers, no conflicting advice. The care plan is coherent from start to finish, because one clinician holds the full picture.
Treats the Whole Picture
Chiropractic adjustments address joint mechanics. Laser therapy works on tissue healing and inflammation. Clinical Pilates rebuilds the neuromuscular control and strength that protects the spine. Each targets a different layer — and together, they cover the full picture in a way that no single modality can.
A Longer-Term Focus
By addressing the biomechanical, inflammatory and functional dimensions of a problem at the same time, integrated care aims for improvement that lasts, because the underlying contributors are addressed rather than just managed.
Clinical Pilates and laser therapy alongside manual chiropractic care, in one practice
All three are delivered by the same practitioner.
At Momentum, the integration is real. I assess you, prescribe your treatment, deliver your care and monitor your progress across all three modalities. That means one consistent plan, not three separate ones.
