Chiropractic Care in Toowoomba
Chiropractic care focuses on your whole body and how the health of the nervous system is influenced by dysfunctional joints, particularly in the spine. The nervous system controls the function of all the organs and tissues of the body. Therefore, a nervous system working at its best facilitates the healing processes and healthy function of the body. Our Chiropractors also use other techniques such as Chiropractic Kinesiology and Visceral Correction Technique to look beyond the impact of dysfunctional joints.
What to Expect at My First Visit
At your first visit, our intention is to get to know you. We will take time to hear your health story and share ways we may be able to assist you towards Whole Body Health. Your initial consultation involves a thorough assessment of your health, so we can deliver the most appropriate care for your needs. We determine physical and physiological stress throughout the body, assessing its impact on your health. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:
- Health Questionnaire
- Spinal Scans
- Foot scan
- Relevant orthopaedic testing
- Posture and range-of-motion exams
- A thorough assessment of the spine and other body areas relevant to your presentation
- Care that is tailored to your situation
Custom Made Orthotics
Your feet are very important, and often overlooked. The health of the arches of your feet determine the alignment of your ankles, knees and hips, setting the foundation for spinal and structural integrity. We’ll get a picture of the health of your feet and where necessary, recommend orthotics and/or exercises to reduce the impact of changes in the arches of the feet on Whole Body Health.
FAQ’s
Do I Have to Go Forever?
You are welcome to have chiropractic care for as long as you wish. We encourage all to adopt a proactive approach to Whole Body Health, seeking to achieve and maintain good health by means of regular care. We find that people are often unaware of when the joints of their spine are not moving well and how this might be affecting their health. Pain is only one indication that there are changes in joint function. With regular chiropractic care we can identify areas of joint restriction before they lead to pain or other significant changes in your health.
Who May Benefit from Care?
People of all ages, and with a wide range of conditions may benefit from care. Those who suffer from common ailments such as headaches and back or neck pain may experience improvement with Chiropractic. Whatever your condition, our Chiropractors will offer a thorough assessment, and build a plan based on your unique findings. Where necessary, we will refer you for complementary or more appropriate care. We also focus on the impact of stress on people’s health and wellbeing. NET is a methodology to address changes in physiology rather than psychology associated with the body’s stress response. As NET practitioners, we look to identify and address where this critical component is impacting the function of the body. 
Chiropractic Training
Chiropractors undertake 5 years of university education, and adhere to strict standards of ongoing professional development requirements. Each of our Chiropractors enjoy the opportunity to continue learning through post-graduate training, gaining new skills and improving on those they already use.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Chiropractic has an exceptional safety record and chiropractors are trained to adapt their techniques and adjustments to suit different body types and ages of patients. The range of techniques we have available mean we have options in how we can provide care. Some patients are perfectly suited for a firmer technique, while others will require a gentler approach. Whatever you prefer, or whatever your body needs, we can tailor our care to suit you. While we always endeavour to provide the safest and most suitable care, like any health care procedures, chiropractic adjustments and other procedures we use can cause adverse reactions. Our chiropractors are very open to talk with you regarding your options for care to ensure you feel confident in our services and to discuss any concerns you may have about the care we provide.
