Thank you for visiting us. We look forward to assisting you with your health care.
Our chiropractors have many years of knowledge and experience in spinal and chiropractic adjustments. The purpose of spinal adjustments is to return the spine to a natural state of health,
and to reduce pain, muscle spasm, and nerve irritation, so
you can enjoy a better quality of life.
Chiropractic adjustments work by helping to place your body
in the proper position that then allows the body to heal itself. One of the key focuses of chiropractic care is realigning the spine and thereby reducing pressure placed on sensitive nerves, which can contribute to dysfunction of the central nervous system.
Chiropractic has been proven to be one of the safest approaches
to naturally and holistically treating patients with a wide range of symptoms or conditions. We encourage our patients to learn how to maintain their own health to help keep recurrence of pain and symptoms to a minimum.
Our chiropractors use gentle Sacro-Occipital Technique to analyse and correct subluxations (misalignments of the spine and other joints). They may also use the Activator instrument when adjusting the spine and extremity joints of the body, and if necessary, a manual adjustment can be used to correct a problem.
Not all patients are the same, and our chiropractors modify their techniques to suit the person's needs. For example - adults, children, babies, the elderly, and pregnant women may all require different techniques. Whatever method is used, you can be sure that your adjustments will be skillfully performed by our experienced and caring chiropractors.
If this is your first visit to our clinic, we would like to thank you for selecting us to care for your spinal health.
Firstly, we need to know why you have come to see us and whether we can help you. You will be asked to fill out a form with your details, then we will sit down with you and discuss your present problem(s) and your health history so we can analyse your symptoms. We then go through some chiropractic checks to determine the health and structure of your spine. Once we have determined that chiropractic may help you, we explain our recommendations to help you achieve the best results.
In most cases we are able to begin adjustments straight away, but if there are injuries or complicated symptoms we may refer you for X-Rays or to another health professional to make sure you receive the most appropriate care.
We adjust patients fully clothed, so there is no need to undress for your visits. However it is
a good idea to remove bulky, tight or restrictive clothing for general comfort.
Your health needs and goals are important to us and we are happy to answer any question you may have.
Please allow 45 minutes for your first visit. Subsequent visits will take about 10-15 minutes.
