Chiropractic care
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug free approach to health. Chiropractor’s focus on improving musculoskeletal complaints including those related to spine and nervous system function. When joints are under tension and don’t move correctly this causes misfiring into the nervous system. By using gentle, specific adjustments, Chiropractor’s restore joint movement to improve your mobility, alleviate pain and enhance overall wellness. This care extends past the spine to other joints in the body including shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, hands and feet.
Some of the reasons why people may seek Chiropractic care:
This holistic therapy promotes the bodies natural healing ability and often complements conventional medical treatments for a comprehensive approach to healthcare.
From birth through adolescence and completing the cycle into adulthood and parenthood my holistic, hands on care is tailored to your needs.
Consultations take place in my cosy home practice in Moorabbin.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The initial consultation and assessment is a 50 minute appointment where we cover your current health goals and any symptoms that you may have.
We delve into some of the reasons why these may be presenting exploring your physical, chemical and emotional stressors. This allows us to create a lifestyle plan to support your care.
A thorough Chiropractic, Orthopaedic and Neurological assessment checking range of motion, balance, strength and posture gives us a baseline of your function. In children we also assess for age appropriate neurodevelopment including primitive reflexes.
If necessary a referral may be made for further imaging.
REPORT of findings
Whether your goal is simply to get out of pain or to keep you functioning at your best this appointment is all about outlining your personalised pathway to wellness.
If any further imaging was taken we will go through your results on this appointment.
You will also receive your first Chiropractic adjustment on this visit.
The Chiropractic Adjustment
During these appointments I will assess and gently adjust areas of restriction and tension to allow you to feel and function better.
I use a variety of techniques during these appointments:
Manual techniques
Low force techniques (activator, blocks and drop piece)
Cranial therapy
Soft tissue therapy
Fascial release
NEURO EMOTIONAL TECHNIQUE (NET)
This technique looks at the physiological response to stress and how we store it in our body. Think of a time you have felt stressed - you might feel that tension build in your jaw, shoulders or get a funny feeling in the pit of your stomach. NET is an evidence based technique that helps you identify and clear unresolved stress patterns. It uses muscle testing to assess and facilitate the release of this unresolved stress.
