How your Chiropractor works
1. Discovery
Coming to see us with a sore neck? First, we'll dig deep to uncover the root cause of your pain and establish a base line of where you are now. This includes a detailed questionnaire and may also involve x-rays/EOS scan, INSiGHT scans, or other relevant tests.
We will also ask you about your health goals - so come in prepared!
2. Diagnosis
With the information collected, we will then create a report of findings and roadmap of where you are, where you want to get and how we will do it working with you hand in hand.
If we decide to work together, then an adjustment may be delivered in this session.
3. Care
There are different tiers of care dependant on your goals and findings. We will always recommend to you the best possible care we can for your circumstances.
In this stage, you will also be invited to our Better Results Faster workshop, to learn how you can improve your results and overall health.
Personalised treatment with a combination of techniques
We use a combination of techniques to get you the best possible result and offer truly personalised treatment.
Techniques we may use during your Chiropractic adjustments include Diversified, SOT (Sacro-occipital Technique), NOT (Neural Organisation Technique), Activator, Drop, Piece, Applied kinesiology, Bowen, Trigger point therapy, Graston and Rocktape/kinesiotaping.
Chiropractic Care plans
I’ve heard that once you see a chiro, you have to keep coming back?
That’s certainly not the case. What we do is find that the majority of our clients continue with care once their initial issue they presented with has resolved due to the dramatic changes they notice in other areas of their life. A short fuse gets longer, less stress and yelling at the kids, better concentration and productivity at work, faster reaction time on the field, better energy & digestion…
Sometimes, you’ll need multiple adjustments over a long period of time to address deeper underlying issues. Your Chiropractic Care plan is designed to move you gradually up towards optimal wellness and maintain your progress.
You will have 3 options when you see us:
1. Fix the problem
2. Treat the pain (bandaid approach)
3. Do nothing at all.
All 3 are valid choices depending on your scenario. We will always present you with your options based on what you tell us you are trying to achieve, but the choice is yours. We will never judge you for choosing to discontinue. To be honest, we find that unless you are committed to your health and the outcome outside adjustments, it is very hard for anyone to get the best results no matter how good the therapist is. It’s amazing how your mindset and what you believe is possible and whether you feel you are worth it comes in!
During your care plan, we will arrange INSiGHT scans, so you can not only feel but see the results from your adjustments*.
*your results also depend on your own efforts in addressing contributing lifestyle factors*
Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.
