If it’s your first consultation, we’ll begin by asking a series of questions to gain a full picture of your body, your medical history and the particular symptoms that have prompted you to visit our clinic. Once we have all the information we need, we’ll begin our consultation. We begin with a series of examinations of your spine and skeletal system, to establish exactly what Chiropractic treatment is necessary.
Our clinicians will deliver a specific and targeted correction to the part of the body which, in their professional determination, needs it. Most patients say that the correction itself barely feels like anything, and there is much less of a ‘cracking’ sound that you may expect! Upon completion of your examination, our Chiropractors may give you exercises to complete at home in order to maintain optimum health.
Top Chiropractor Acupuncture practitioners are highly trained with years of experience, so you can always be confident they only deliver necessary treatment, and always operate within your comfort zone. By the time you leave our clinic, you can expect to feel relaxed, limber and enjoy an overall feeling of contentment.
If you have a chronic condition or complex care needs, you may qualify to receive a Chiropractic Medicare rebate for up to 5 sessions per calendar year. To be eligible, your GP must place you on an EPC – an Enhanced Primary Care Plan. If you have been suffering, or will suffer, from a condition for longer than 6 months, or you have several health issues simultaneously, you are likely eligible to be placed on an ECP.
For more information, consult your GP or visit the Department of Health’s website.
First, our practitioners will conduct a thorough examination, canvassing your current and previous symptoms, diet and lifestyle and family history in order to gain a full and complete idea of your body and general health. Based on this information, we will make a professional assessment of the treatments you will benefit from most. An initial consultation will take longer than subsequent ones, to allow for this information gathering process.
Once we’ve established what treatments will be most successful for you, we begin treating! We may offer several specific herbal medicines, commence warm cupping or begin Acupuncture. Don’t worry about pain, especially if you’re scared of needles! In terms of sensation, warm cupping is more like feeling pressure than feeling pain. In terms of Acupuncture, you’ll hardly feel a thing! Most patients say they can’t feel the Acupuncture needles at all.
Certainly. Acupuncture restores balance in the body, allowing it to more effectively self-regulate and self-treat. By opening blocked energy pathways, energy pathways are allowed to operate unencumbered, strengthening the immune system, improving blood flow and ensuring physical harmony. Acupuncture improves overall health, and by maintaining the vital energy pathways within the body, helps to prevent injury, disease and stress.
