We are all aware that there is an epidemic of back pain, neck pain and Headaches. Much of this is due to sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, stress and poor core strength.
Many people are aware that chiropractors are experts at dealing with this type of problem, but then never get round to making an appointment. Why?
They don't know what a chiropractor does!
We are all familiar with what happens when we go and see our GP. We are familiar with the surroundings, the process and the outcomes. we know that we will either get a prescription to relieve the symptoms, or we will be referred to another specialist.
What happens though when they go to the Chiropractor? Are they trained properly? Well chiropractors receive a minimum of four years full time training, while all working at Reflex Chiropractic have completed a five year full time Masters course. This is the same length of time as a degree in Medicine or Dentistry.
When you get to the Chiropractic clinic what will it be like? At Reflex Chiropractic all New Patients are booked for a 45 minute initial consultation. We listen to you and take a full history of what brings you to us. We then undergo a thorough series of orthopaedic and neurological exams. This is performed so that we can determine an accurate diagnosis. If we are unsure of the diagnosis we will refer you for further tests, or send you back your GP, or an appropriate specialist if we believe that chiropractic cannot help you. We help people recover from chronic back pain by using specific spinal rehabilitation exercises to monitor the improvement .
Chiropractic can help all sorts of musculoskeletal problems. If in doubt contact us and ask for our advice. We'd be very happy to advise you and will try to answer all your questions. We feel it up to us to educate our patients about the benefits of chiropractic care and what are the most commonly treated conditions.
And remember, chiropractors treat more than just back pain!
