Chiropractor near Putney – How can our Chiropractors help you?
Your nervous system (brain, nerves and spinal cord) controls every part of your body through electrical signalling. Every muscle and gland, your internal organs, in fact every cell in your body is connected to your nervous system in some way. If there are interferences to this system it is then understandable that there will be numerous adverse effects to your health. Chiropractors are trained to detect and correct changes to your spine that interfere with your nervous system.
Regular Chiropractic treatments to your spine will enhance the functioning of your nervous system. When your nervous system is running at its best – you feel your best and mechanical disorders to your musculoskeletal system are prevented. How? Well by optimising the position of your vertebrae and joints, a system where nerve signals flow freely throughout your body. Your Chiropractor does not use drugs or surgery but uses gentle ‘adjustments’ that correct the mobility of your spinal joints and the position of your vertebrae. The chiropractic adjustment has been proven to be a safe and effective way of achieving this state of good health.
Optimising the mobility of your joints and the position of your vertebrae removes interferences to your nervous system and may assist with managing health concerns including:
- Headaches, migraines and neck pain
- Lower back pain, Hip pain, Sciatica and disc symptoms
- Pregnancy and pediatric related symptoms
- Flexibility and coordination, balance, strength and rehabilitation
- and much more!
Your first Chiropractic visit – What to expect?
Your first visit with Johanna or Angelo will be about 45 minutes long and involve a full medical history, full spinal examination, postural assessment, orthopedic testing, muscle testing, neurological testing & treatment. If required, Johanna or Angelo may refer you for x-rays in order to have better idea of the current state of your spine.
On your second visit, there will be discussion of any changes to your condition, report of findings, reassessment and treatment. This will take about 15 minutes.
Ongoing visits are usually 15 minutes long and offer treatment & periodic comparative assessments.
