HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?

You are usually motivated by pain. We are looking for the ‘cause’ of that pain. There are no quick fixes and it is pointless to simply ‘patch up’ the cause of your pain. Treating the cause should trigger a healing process. Most patients are put onto a Treatment Programme. The average patient is treated over about a 3 month period and many of those patients are recommended an occasional ‘check up’ to maintain their problem. The cause of some peoples’ pain is corrected in a couple of treatments, whilst others will need 12 or more visits. Those that need more treatments are re-examined and monitored regularly.

“We treat the cause not the symptoms”

WHAT IS THE TREATMENT?

Our treatment comprises of various chiropractic techniques. Manipulation is the main skill where little clicks are heard - these are also called spinal adjustments. Also soft tissue work, core training & stretching and advice. The treatment applied will be based on the age and health of the patient.

We consider your home and work environment, activities and hobbies, anything that could be affecting your health status.
