Each of us has unique health objectives.....
You might want pain relief, a quick fix, or rehabilitation and management of a longer term problem or prevention of future injury. Our chiropractors are here to help with any of these choices.
Chiropractic addresses core physiological and bio-mechanical aspects of the body and aims to correct problems without drugs or surgery by allowing the body to function optimally: this can take some time! Some conditions can be treated in a few visits, while others may take longer. If you continue to have bad habits or carry out the activities that caused your problem, it is unlikely that you will stay in perfect balance forever. We aim to give you the capacity to cope with the demands life makes on your body and support that process as you continue to lead a full life.
To clarify how we might help you to achieve your goals, the three phases of care are outlined below:

To clarify how we might help you to achieve your goals, the three phases of care are outlined below:
Phase 1: Intensive Care
The majority of patients consult a chiropractor because they have an ache or pain. In the first phase of care, the main objective is to eliminate or reduce your discomfort and stabilise your condition in the shortest amount of time. During this phase, progress is usually rapid. The dysfunction around your injury is corrected which begins the healing process by gradually removing the irritation from the tissues.
The number of times you visit a chiropractor during this phase of care varies and is dependent upon your specific condition. It's hard to say how long it will be until you see relief- it could be as short as a week or up to a month. If you are not responding to chiropractic care during this phase, you may be referred to another health-care provider. You should see a significant improvement within 4 to 6 visits unless you have very severe or long term problems.

iPhase 2: Corrective Care
Once your condition has stabilised, you may choose to enter the second phase of care, where the objective is to strengthen the muscles, and improve neuromusculoskeletal function. The frequency of visits is reduced over a period of a couple of months. Care may be supplemented by rehabilitation exercises, nutrition advice and modification of daily habits.
It is important to remember that many of the conditions for which people seek care have developed over many years; therefore, correcting these problems is a true rehabilitative process. It may take time to correct these conditions.

Phase 3: Wellness Care
Some people go on to choose wellness care, which aims to maintain your improved health spinal function, prevent the return of the original condition, and catch small problems before they become serious.
A personal wellness care program will be designed specifically for you where we teach you how to incorporate good nutrition and exercise habits into your everyday life, thereby promoting vitality, endurance, and the ability to enjoy life at its fullest. The interval between visits will depend upon the demands you place your body under. An athlete may come in every 4 weeks, keen to avoid injury and optimise performance, aware the body is under stress. A young professional may get checked annually as they keep fit, manage stress and balance work and home life. Most people find 3-4 visits a year can keep them on track.
Just as a point of interest, our Chiropractors check each other every week!
