WHAT TO EXPECT
Health history:
It's important for us to get a really good understanding of what your problems are. To start with, we will ask you to complete a comprehensive health history form. We will then ask you additional questions to ensure we have all the relevant details about your symptomatic history and your general health.
THOROUGH EXAM:
Following a health-history, our chiropractors will perform a thorough examination of your spine. This will include general checks of your posture, range of motion, as well as static and motion palpation. Depending on what we find we may also conduct neurological and orthopaedic tests.
X-RAYS:
Being able to see a complete picture of your spine (with x-rays) gives us a much greater appreciation of the current alignment and state of your spine. Although we don't x-ray everybody, this tool can be very useful. Our chiropractors have had advanced training in the taking and analysing of spinal x-rays.
REPORT OF FINDINGS:
We will thoroughly explain what we have found in our health history and examination. If we took x-rays of your spine we will show them to you and tell you in lay terms about anything that’s not normal. You may need lifestyle recommendations immediately, or these may come in subsequent visits.
ADJUSTMENT TECHNIQUES:
There are many different adjustment techniques within chiropractic and all of our chiropractors know many so they can tailor their approach for each patient. Some of the main techniques that our chiropractors use are Diversified, Gonstead, Thompson-Drop, Activator, and iQ, to name a few.
WELLNESS:
Our primary goal is to improve your spinal function, this helps your nerve function and therefore your overall health. Once your spine is working a lot better we will offer you the chance to maintain your spine. We are also passionate about helping you to make healthy lifestyle choices.
