Chiropractors use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility.
Chiropractic treatment involves safe, often gentle, specific spinal manipulation to free joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly. Apart from manipulation, Chiropractors may use a variety of techniques including joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling/acupuncture and Class IV Laser treatment.
As well as manual treatment, chiropractors are able to offer a range of aftercare which includes posture guidance, self-help advice, strength and conditioning exercises, stretches and lifestyle changes.
The initial consultation will last around 45 minutes to an hour. Please wear comfortable and comfortable clothing Depending on the area of complaint we may need to have this visible during the examination. Gowns will be available, but suitable clothing would be ideal (For example, wearing shorts for a knee complaint or a vest for a shoulder complaint).
In our initial consultation we go through a full and detailed history of not just your current complaint, but we will also review your general health, repetitive stressors, any previous accidents, and injuries that you may have had.
We will then go through a thorough physical examination completing testing to check issues that maybe causing your complaint to help form both a diagnosis and further care strategy.
We will then discuss your diagnosis and care strategy. We will ensure you understand, your questions are answered and both client and Chiropractor are happy. The first treatment will begin on the same day.
If we find at any point we cannot help, we will refer you to the correct care professional for further investigation.
After your initial consultation and first treatment, subsequent treatments last 15 minutes (longer treatments can be provided at the digression of the Chiropractor). We find this amount of time allows us significant clinical impact on your care. Treatment modalities used include chiropractic manipulation, joint mobilisation, muscle techniques, Class 4 laser and medical acupuncture.
