Chiropractic Care in St Leonards

At Chiropaedic in St Leonards, people come to see us for a variety of reasons...

1. For relief from symptoms (aches, pains or dysfunction)


2. To rehabilitate or correct long term spinal problems


3. As one component of their overall approach to better health

What is an adjustment?

There are many ways to adjust the spine. Chiropractors may use their hands; or have the aid of special adjusting tables; or have you lie on pelvic blocks; or use specialised hand held instruments. Which chiropractic technique chosen by our St Leonards north shore Sydney clinic is dependent on your individual circumstances - an elderly woman, an elite footballer and a baby will obviously require very different approaches.

After years of university training and clinical experience, each chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the delivery of a variety of adjusting approaches.

For any specific chiropractic technique related enquiries, please feel free to contact the team at Chiropaedic in St Leonards today.

What To
Expect

What to Expect on your first visit to your chiropractor in St Leonards?

A warm welcome is number one on our list; we know only too well that you are likely to be a little apprehensive at your first visit to a chiropractor; not knowing what to expect can often make any of us a little nervous. However, with Chiropaedic, your Chiropractor in St Leonards, the moment you enter our warm, friendly environment you will be made to feel totally at ease. Our experienced team will do whatever it takes to ensure that your visit with us is a pleasant one.

When you arrive the first thing we'll do is to prepare your file and establish a detailed history of your overall health. Next your Chiropractor will perform a thorough examination and a series of tests. Then, if necessary, your Chiropractor may also refer you for x-rays to provide more detailed information about a specific condition. Combining all this information gives us a clearer picture to be able to deliver the best possible recommendations for you.

If chiropractic care is the right choice for you, your Chiropractor may give you your first adjustment right away. You can be confident that, before this happens, we'll talk to you about your proposed care, the available alternatives and any potential risks associated with our recommendations. The more you understand about the chiropractic process, the better the results are likely to be. We'll also talk to you about our recommendations for your follow-up appointment and future care.

Your Second Visit to the Chiropractor in St Leonards

Report of Findings

On your second visit to our Chiropaedic clinic, your Chiropractor will discuss with you how you responded to your first adjustment; this gives vital information on where you are in your healing process - you will then be taken through your Report of Findings.

This gives a detailed explanation of Chiropractic care and how it is relevant to your individual situation. Your Chiropractor will make specific recommendations as to the most appropriate action to take in correcting your condition. You will have the opportunity to question and discuss your case and communicate your health goals so we can understand your priorities.

Approaches to Chiropractic Care

1. Symptomatic Care - This stage of care is aimed at addressing your immediate concerns as quickly as possible. This is usually the most intensive stage of care, and focusses on joint function and aims to control inflammation as quickly as possible.


2. Corrective Care - Corrective care aims to address the long-term, bad habits of your spinal movement. It can help retrain how your spine moves. It can also help prevent relapses or similar injuries later. Corrective care requires consistent, regular adjustments over weeks or months, depending on the case. At pre-determined intervals, full progress examinations take place in order to measure your progress.
