INITIAL TREATMENT AND DIAGNOSIS
Your first McTimoney Chiropractic appointment will take between 60 to 75 minutes. You will be asked firstly to complete a simple medical questionaire. Then the treatment session will commence with a thorough review of your past and present medical history. Depending on the type of problem you may require to undergo simple tests and procedures to underline your suitability for chiropractic treatment. If after the tests all is well you will get further instruction about chiropractic theory and what is to be expected from this type of therapy.
The treatment will require you to undress to your underwear. You will be examined in detail and any structural problems relayed to you. Treatment will take around 15-20 minutes and you will be given information throughout regarding your progress. You can ask as many questions as you wish at all stages of your treatment.
For most problems rehabilitation is about taking things gently for a few sessions. There is only one healer and that is the body itself! Chiropractors simply set things in motion to allow this special innate process to begin. Where special exercises will benefit they will be given. To help you after treatment I wil provide you with a separate leaflet which outlines the things you can do to best help yourself and what to expect. Any doubts or queiries can be handled by giving my offices a call any time you choose.
Follow-up treatments are scheduled at 30 minutes duration and are generally weekly to begin with. As the problem responds and improves the time between treatments will be increased.
THAT'S NOT THE END THOUGH !!
ONCE YOU HAVE REGAINED YOUR HEALTH AND GOT RID OF THOSE ACHES AND PAINS WHY GO BACK?
YOU DON'T NEED TO!
McTimoney Chiropractors encourage patients to keep up the good work they have started by trying to committ to regular maintenance treatment. Depending on your initial problem/s, age, and lifestyle you may only require 2-4 treatments per year to keep in good shape. It's well worth it don't you think?
