Chiro clinic for joints, muscles and nerves

Diagnosing and treating the root causes of musculoskeletal problems

My chiropractic clinic deals with musculoskeletal problems affecting your joints, muscles, and/or nerves. Problems like these can make it harder for you to work, live an active life and do the things you enjoy.

While painkillers, massage and stretching may provide temporary relief, chiropractic is about finding the root cause and treating it.

This will give you more sustainable results and the hope of a lasting recovery.

What to expect when you visit my clinic

Your initial consultation

If you’re a new patient, we’ll begin with a 60-minute consultation appointment.

Understanding your issues and goals

We’ll start by having a chat about your problem and I’ll listen to everything you have to say. I want to understand the issue you’re having, how it’s affecting or limiting you, and what you’re hoping chiropractic will do for you.

Maybe you want to reduce muscle tension and tightness. Maybe you’d like to move better, without pain, stiffness or risking injury. Maybe your focus is on wellness and supporting your continuing mobility and resilience.

Identifying the root cause

After our discussion, I’ll carry out a physical assessment. I’ll observe your posture, movement and range of motion. Using hands-on techniques, I’ll assess your muscles and joint quality. And I’ll carry out neurological and orthopaedic testing.

A key part of my process is called Functional Muscle Testing (FMT). This identifies the missing or weak link in a particular movement.

When I’ve identified the problem, I’ll help you understand what’s wrong and explain how we’re going to fix it.

Next steps

If I can offer you treatment, I’ll talk you through what to expect. And, if it’s appropriate, I’ll give you your first treatment during the appointment.

If I’m not the best person to resolve your issue, I’ll refer you to someone who can.

My approach

“It was the first time someone has truly listened to my issues, explained what was wrong and what we could do about it.”

Your treatment

Chiropractic isn’t just back cracking, neck cracking and massage. It’s specific and targeted treatment, which is based on your physical assessment.

How long is a treatment appointment?

Chiropractic treatment takes 10-15 minutes.

If you’ve had massage before, these appointments might seem short. But it’s plenty of time for what I need to do and there wouldn’t be any benefit in having a longer session.

What will treatment involve?

You’ll receive a personalised treatment plan, designed to target the root cause of your particular issue.

Your treatment will involve manual therapies to help relieve discomfort and/or restore movement and mobility.

The Functional Muscle Testing I used to identify your problem will be used during each treatment session as well. I’ll test the area we’re working on before and after I treat it, so we can see the difference and track your progress.

How much treatment will I need?

For lasting and sustainable results, you’ll need several sessions of treatment.

The actual number of treatments will depend on how quickly you improve and how you’re feeling.

Is there anything I can do myself?

In addition to your treatment, I may recommend exercises and postural adjustments you can do yourself at home.

If you have food sensitivities or nutrient deficiencies, I may also recommend you to avoid certain foods or take supplements to help with your recovery.
