Crackenback Chiropractic & Colonic Clinic

Dr Debra Lawson / Dr Deb, of Crackenback Chiropractic and Colonic Clinic in Edge Hill, Cairns started her career as a Chiropractor in 1996.

Prior to graduating from Chiropractic College, she was a Massage Therapist and Colon Hydro-therapist since 1983.

Born, bred and educated in the USA, Dr. Deb offers a variety of treatments in addition to traditional chiropractic adjustments. These treatments include NMT/ neuromuscular therapy, Interferential therapy, Ultrasound therapy and the most recent addition: MLS Laser Therapy.

A typical visit with Dr Deb may include some muscle therapy along with your adjustment working with your muscles and soft tissues as well as your spine and pelvis.

The only MLS Laser in Far North QLD

Dr Deb’s high-tech laser is the only MLS dual frequency Laser in Far North QLD. Dual frequency refers to how the device is programmed delivering both high power laser (intermittently) and low power laser (continuous) simultaneously.

“MLS® Laser Therapy comes from ASA’s scientific research to overcome the limits of traditional laser therapy and at the same time to exploit the advantages of low and high power through a patented quality impulse.”

Chiropractic Adjustment

Dr Deb uses a Zenith drop table to perform full spine adjustments. The low force drops makes the adjustment more comfortable.

NMT/ Neuromuscular Therapy

NMT Neuromuscular Therapy is a form of deep tissue work that targets Trigger points for the relief of pain. NMT originated in the USA with Paul St John and has a specific set of treatments for each muscle group.

Colonic Hydrotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy, aka colonics. Dr Deb prefers the open system colonic: this is where you have privacy and you are in control of your own treatment and so this is what is used at Crackenback Clinic.
