ABOUT US

What is Chiropractic?

Chiropractic care addresses the neuro-musculoskeletal system (the nerves associated with the spine and the muscles holding everything in place) and works to restore spinal misalignments affecting how efficiently your brain sends messages and your body receives them. When left untreated, the cumulative effects of these environmental factors may begin to take a toll on your body and this is often when back pain and discomfort are experienced.

What to expect from us

At your first appointment, your chiropractor will ask a number of questions to clarify how your spine is limiting you. Once all the relevant information is gained, a chiropractic examination is completed. This involves neurological, orthopaedic, postural, and physical tests.

If X-rays are required in addition to your physical assessment, your Chiropractor will communicate this with you, and a referral will be made. This ensures that the most effective recovery plan is developed by visualising the spinal anatomy, and also screens for any serious spinal conditions. Most are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In many cases, patients can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Once all information is gathered a diagnosis and recovery plan specific to you will be established. Recommendations will be made on how to make the most out of your care, and the plan for your recovery will begin with a spinal adjustment.
