Chiropractors are qualified health care professionals who diagnose, treat and prevent musculoskeletal conditions and disorders. Chiropractors focus on the intimate relationship between the nervous system and the spine and how the flow of information can be altered through spinal dysfunction. Care centres around the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate along with restoring the health and function of your spine. This improves the communication between your brain, body and the environment.
Country Chiropractic practitioners use Evidence Based treatment techniques and research to deliver customised care for each patient. The function of your spine can influence the way your brain perceives what’s going on in your body. Whether you are after acute care, maintenance care or performance care, at Country Chiropractic we strive to reach your health goals.
Some of the commons conditions we treat include but not limited to;
- Headaches
- Lower back pain with and without referred pain
- Upper back pain
- Neck pain
- Postural issues
- Extremity Issues eg rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel etc.
We start at your initial consultation by reviewing your history thoroughly, this will include information pertaining to your presenting complaint(s) along with your general medical history including any previous traumas, images that have been taken along with your health goals.
Then we conduct a thorough physical examination. This can include posture analysis, scoliosis screening, gait analysis, range of motion, neurological testing, orthopaedic testing and reviewing any previous images already taken.
If clinically indicated we can refer for spinal x-rays, bulk billed through the local hospitals and directly referred by one of our chiropractors. We then analyse the images through a online access system. It is not absolutely necessary that we need to X-ray every patient, only if it is clinically indicated.
We then tailor treatment techniques and a schedule of care for each individual patient and their goals for care.
