Your Casuarina chiropractorMeet Dr Adam Williams.

Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) is a structural chiropractic technique that looks at how the body is organised as a whole — spine, pelvis, ribs and limbs — rather than one segment at a time.

ABC describes the body as adapting to the loads placed on it over time. Adjustments are made in a particular order so those adaptive patterns can be addressed progressively, which is where the idea of "unwinding" comes from.

In the studio, ABC is the foundation of how Adam assesses posture and structure, and it guides most structural care.

Applied Kinesiology (AK) uses manual muscle testing alongside standard orthopaedic and neurological checks to gather information about how your body is functioning.

A muscle test simply involves you holding a position while Adam applies light pressure. The response is one piece of clinical information — weighed together with your history, posture and movement findings — not a diagnosis on its own.

Adam is certified in AK and draws on it where it's relevant to you.

Neural Organisation Technique (NOT) is a chiropractic system focused on how the nervous system coordinates movement, posture and reflexes.

It follows a structured sequence of checks, using muscle testing, to look at coordination patterns such as balance and gait, with gentle corrections where they're indicated.

Adam is certified in NOT and uses it alongside the structural work where it fits.

Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a mind–body technique that looks at how stress and emotional responses may sit alongside physical patterns. It combines muscle testing with a short, structured conversation and gentle contact.

PSYCH-K is a process concerned with beliefs and habitual patterns. It uses simple, guided steps to help you approach a goal or a stressor differently.

Both are complementary approaches. They are not a substitute for psychological or medical care, and they are only used with your agreement and where relevant.

Practical guidance on the things you do every day — how you sit, sleep, move, train and eat — so what happens in the studio is supported at home.

Advice is simple and realistic, and fits around your work, your family and the way you live on the coast. Where you'd benefit from more specialised input, Adam will refer you to the right professional.
