When pain starts getting in the way
Maybe you woke up with a stiff neck. Perhaps you've had lower back pain for a few weeks or regularly get headaches. Maybe you've been dealing with the same problem for much longer, or it keeps coming back. Or perhaps you'd simply like to improve your posture.
Whatever brings you here, you mainly want to understand what's going on and what you can do about it.
How chiropractic works
As a chiropractor, I look at how your spine functions and at areas that are under a lot of strain. This can play a role in pain or other symptoms.
Your body is constantly adapting to what you ask of it. Sometimes this leads to compensations that, over time, no longer work as well. That's why I don't just focus on where it hurts. I also look at your posture and what's happening elsewhere in your body.
I use different chiropractic techniques to improve movement and function. The technique I use depends on what I find during your examination and how your body responds.
My goal isn't just to reduce pain, but to help your body function as well as possible.
Your first appointment
During your first appointment, I take the time to thoroughly assess what's going on.
We start with a conversation about your symptoms, how your body is being put under strain in daily life and what you would like to improve.
I then carry out a physical examination. I look at your spine, your posture, any imbalances or misalignments, and how your body is functioning.
Afterwards, I explain what I've found and whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your symptoms. If it is, we can usually start treatment straight away.
I'll always explain what I'm doing and why, and of course there is plenty of time to ask questions.
What to expect after your first appointment
After your first appointment, I'll discuss what I've found with you and recommend a treatment plan.
How often you come in depends on your symptoms and how your body responds. If you've had your symptoms for longer, you may need several treatments.
At first, appointments are usually scheduled a little closer together. As things improve, we gradually reduce the frequency.
You'll often notice the first changes within a few treatments. Throughout the process, I'll keep assessing how you respond and adjust your treatment plan when needed.
