-
How do I know if I need Chiropractic care?Our chiropractors will determine if you need chiropractic care through a comprehensive evaluation. This may include a physical examination, review of any relevant X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. With your consent, we may also consult with your other healthcare providers to ensure a coordinated approach to your treatment, enhancing your recovery or pain management.
-
How many visits does it take to get better?Some patients only visit us a handful of times. Other patients require weeks or months of consistent care. The amount of time required for your recovery depends on a number of factors, including the severity of your condition and the level of improvement you want. Some patients want their pain to reach a manageable level, while others want to visit us until it disappears completely. Talk to us about your goals so we can develop a treatment plan tailored toward your wishes.
-
I have injured myself and might need ACC. Will I need to see my GP for a referral?No, you do not need a referral from your GP to see us for an ACC claim. Simply give us a call to schedule your appointment and inform us that it will be an ACC claim so we can allocate sufficient time for your initial consultation.
-
Is it OK to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?Yes, it is safe to see a chiropractor during pregnancy. Many pregnant mothers find that chiropractic adjustments make their pregnancy easier by improving nerve function and reducing discomfort. Our chiropractors use techniques that are specifically adapted to a patient's size, weight, age, and health condition to ensure safety and comfort.
-
Is Chiropractic care safe for Babies and Children?Yes, chiropractic care is safe for babies and children from birth. It focuses on the relationship between the spine and the nervous system, which is crucial as children develop. Our chiropractors are trained to adapt their techniques for newborns, infants, and children. Addressing spinal issues early can help with common problems such as colic, sleep difficulties, reflux, poor latching, excessive crying, and constipation. Benefits for toddlers and children include improved immune function, better concentration and learning ability, help with bedwetting, and reduced ear infections.
