1st Treatment
The first treatment usually occurs during your first appointment and will involve a combination of specific adjustment, mobilisations, soft tissue techniques and acupuncture to the spine, joints and muscles in order to help restore normal function, relax muscles, remove strain from ligaments, improve the efficiency of the nervous system and thus relieving pain.
The Consultation, Report of Findings and 1st Treatment normally occur on the 1st visit and takes around 45 minutes to an hour. Subsequent Treatments are around 30 minutes
2nd Treatment (30- 45 minutes)
The 2nd visit is usually scheduled within a few days of the initial visit. On this appointment we will run through your Report of Findings again, discussing the number of treatments required. We allow for further questions and explanations from the first appointment.
The number of treatments required will be affected by the severity of you condition, how long you have had it for and the number of underlying causes that appear to be aggravating it. Usually when people are in pain we recommend a treatment every 2-3 days (2-3 times a week) for 1-4 weeks depending on the problem.
As you improve and come back having been pain free for 3-4 days, we would extend the length of time between treatments to a week. As you improve the time between sessions is increased.
Follow Up Treatments (30 minutes)
Like a regular work out at the gym, each chiropractic session will build on the one before. You may also be given exercises and other lifestyle advice to complement your treatment, and enable you to reap maximum health benefits.
