Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a complete system of healthcare focused on restoring, preserving, and optimising health with natural hands-on care.

Your brain and nervous system controls and coordinates the function of all the systems in the body. When your brain and body are communicating effectively your body and health flourish. Any interference to this communication results in a breakdown to the system causing your body to not function at its best.  Spinal misalignments caused from the various stressors of everyday life can cause this nervous system interference.

Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct these misalignments, remove interference and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal naturally. A spinal adjustment is the application of a precise force to a specific part of the spinal segment, correcting the misalignment, permitting normal nerve transmission and assisting your body to recuperate on its own. Only a Chiropractic examination can detect these misalignments and only Chiropractic adjustments can reduce their effect to your nervous system, naturally.

What to expect

Initial Consultation and Examination

The purpose of your consultation is to get to know you, discuss your health goals and to come up with the best care plan for you. We will then perform a thorough examination based on the information discussed during the consultation, which will help us identify the likely cause of your problem. The examination consists of a postural, spinal and neurological assessment, as well as a full Chiropractic spinal examination. In some cases the Chiropractor may refer you for X-rays when indicated, based on your examination findings. You may then receive your first Chiropractic adjustment, depending on your consultation and examination findings. Allow approximately 30-40min for this visit.
​

Followup Visit and Regular Visits

At your followup visit you will be questioned on your symptomatic changes and then a Chiropractic examination will be performed to assess the physical changes and how the nervous system is responding to your first adjustment. Examination tests will be re-performed to measure the degree of change when indicated. We will then discuss your examination findings, how Chiropractic can best benefit you and then propose a schedule of care that is specific to you and your needs. We take into consideration the severity of your concerns, age and condition of your spine, and time frame of how long the problem has been present for. You will receive a Chiropractic adjustment based on your new findings. 

Regular visits take approximately 10min where your spine will be assessed and adjusted where indicated, following your care plan. When indicated we will cover any at home exercise, rehabilitation, concurrent care methods, stretches, and lifestyle changes you may need to be utilising.
