Fremantle Chiropractors

Chiropractic care is a form of alternative medicine. It is a noninvasive process that serves to manipulate the spine and joints to help you get relief and move better.

Some conditions that involved your back, joints, and nervous system respond better to the chiropractic process than they do to more traditional western medicine. In some cases, a combination of both alternative medicine and western medicine together will be necessary to address your issues. Your initial chiropractic consultation will help your chiropractor assess the correct treatment plan.

Why Should You See a Chiropractor?

Chiropractic adjustments are commonly used to treat pain due to a misaligned spine or joints. If you are suffering from this type of problem you may feel pain in your upper or lower back, neck, jaw, hips, knees, elbows, shoulders, arms, hands, feet, or you may be experiencing headaches.

Chiropractic adjustments are often recommended if you have been in an automobile accident or suffered an impact-related injury. These type of injuries often cause painful misalignment of the spine and joints that require ongoing treatment to be corrected.

What to Expect During Your Chiropractic Consultation

During your initial consultation, your chiropractor will assess your condition. This is done through a physical exam. A determination for a treatment plan is put together through the symptoms that you describe to the chiropractor and any mechanical disorders observed.

As part of the diagnostic process, the chiropractor will perform a posture analysis. One of the core principals of chiropractic care is that various components to your posture may be contributing to your health concerns.
You will be given time to voice your symptoms, expectations, medical history and concerns. The chiropractor will ask pointed questions that will help put together the appropriate treatment plan.

The physical examination will continue with an assessment of your ability to move. The chiropractor may test your range of motion to assess what improvements can be made through a treatment program. You may be referred for further diagnostic situations such as getting a medical opinion or having some medical imaging.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic adjustments can be very gentle or they can be a little more strenuous. It depends on the patient’s needs. An adjustment is performed by the chiropractor applying specific pressure in a specific manner that will aid your vertebrae and joints to move pain free. These adjustments will allow you to gradually regain normal function and movement.

The ultimate goal of chiropractic treatment is to promote wellbeing through improved health and wellness. Chiropractic adjustments may be a step towards helping your spine and joints to function more normally and to reduce your pain.
