What to expect on your first visit to a Chiropractor
The first visit to The Complete Health
Chiropractic Clinic in Salisbury will last approximately one hour. A
detailed, confidential account of your presenting complaint &
previous medical history will be taken, after which you will have a full
orthopaedic, neurological & chiropractic examination in order to
identify the specific problem areas. Occasionally X-rays will be
required to check for any abnormalities or condition, which may modify
your treatment. You will be given a full explanation of the findings
before any treatment is started. Please ask any questions you may have
at any time.
Follow up Chiropractic treatments
Each chiropractic treatment is scheduled by
your chiropractor depending on your individual needs. Some good effects
are felt after one visit, however a series of chiropractic treatments
may be needed to make a significant change.
Rehabilitation
This is essential for those who do not wish
to suffer from chronic episodes of recurring back pain. We always
integrate stretching programs followed by strengthening. By working
within a framework of postural advice & exercise, this enables the
body not only to return to normal function, but also to prevent further
occurrence.
Remember: It's
always best to address problems as they arise rather than wait for a
problem to take hold & become part of your lifestyle.
Cranial Chiropractic
Like cranial osteopathy & cranial sacral
therapy, cranial chiropractic is a gentle non invasive hands on
technique which aims to restore balance to the structure & function
of the cranial sacral system. It can be used to treat joint and
muscular problems as well as helping jaw pain or clicking.
Chiropractic is a holistic form of treatment, which means that your state of health, and your lifestyle, will be taken into account - not just the area which is causing you pain. Advice and exercises will be given to help prevent your problem recurring and enabling you to get better faster and out of pain sooner at less cost.
