INITIAL EXAMINATION

Your initial examination will consist of a thorough case history, postural analysis, orthopaedic and neurological tests and subluxation assessment.

Subluxation is a spinal misalignment causing nerve irritation.
Radiographic or ultrasound pictures may be required and a report of findings will usually be presented before commencing an adjustment program.

YOUR PROGRAM OF CARE HAS THREE STAGES

Initial Intensive Care: aims to reduce or eliminate symptoms such as aches or pains, pins and needles or numbness. Symptoms are the warning bells that often indicate an underlying subluxation that has existed for some time.
Rehabilitative Care: aims to help retrain underlying muscle and soft tissue damage and reverse these subluxation.
Maintenance Care: is dependent on your age condition and lifestyle. These checkups aim to progressively keep you at your optimum function. By having a wellness approach that includes exercises, dietary changes and an understanding of a healthy lifestyle, we believe that you are giving your body the best possible chance of achieving your health potential.

YOUR BODY’S HEALING RESPONSE

The changes that your body experiences during your chiropractic care will vary from person to person. Some people feel immediate changes either with pain or symptom relief. Some people do not ‘feel’ a difference and occasionally your body may respond in a way that has you ‘feeling’ not so good. These are all normal responses. If you are at all concerned by any changes you are experiencing, please talk to us.
We ask you to take responsibility for your health. If you choose to follow through with the program, our approach is to get under control the underlying degeneration, not just pain relief.

SPINAL CARE CLASS

Special appointments are held at the clinic. You are invited to bring along a friend or spouse to hear the chiropractor share the secrets of good health and how to enhance the healing process. Please enquire with the chiropractic receptionist for bookings.
