This depends on the conditions that we will be treating you for. Generally, we expect to start getting results in the first 6-8 appointments with progression in symptoms from the start of treatment. If we are not achieving the results we have set, we will refer you to other relevant practitioners as necessary.
We are a Chiropractic / Kinesiology practice operating from our home-based studio. We treat each individual as an individual, providing care tailored to your requirements. We are here to help you, and our mission is to see healthy communities which, starts with ensuring mom, dad, and the kids are at their maximum potential. We offer a Pay-as-you-can option for regular chiropractic appointments.
The First appointment is setting the groundwork. The Chiropractor will go through a thorough medical history and physical examination (including orthopedic, posture, and neurological testing). X-rays may be clinically indicated, treatment most likely can be provided if clinically suitable.
Yes, as Chiropractors, we are primary healthcare providers, which means you do not need to see your GP first for your injury to get an ACC claim. We can lodge a claim for you at your first appointment. If you already have an ACC45 number, bring it with you to your first appointment.
It's common to feel a bit sore and achy after your initial adjustments as your body adjusts to the treatment. This discomfort might last a couple of days afterward. It's a normal reaction for most people. Priyanka is skilled in low-force techniques like Activator and Kinesiology also so if you'd rather be treated that way, just let us know. Both low-force and manual treatments are equally effective.
As your chiropractor, my responsibilities include diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. A primary treatment method I use is spinal manipulation, where I employ manual pressure to help move your joints beyond their normal range of motion. This technique may sometimes produce a cracking sound. I may also use a tool and/or our drop table to help me administer a force into your spine. Chiropractic care is safe and effective.
In the initial phase of treatment, our top priority is easing your pain and improving your mobility. While many conditions we address can typically see improvement within this timeframe, everyone's journey is unique. During this phase, you might not only feel your pain decrease but also start to enjoy the full-body benefits of chiropractic care. Imagine better sleep, posture, mood, energy, balance, concentration, digestion, and less inflammation - all within reach! And that's not all. Chiropractic care can also boost your immunity, lower blood pressure, enhance athletic performance, and even slow down the progression of degenerative osteoarthritis. These promising results show that your body is responding positively to treatment. Our aim? Not just to ease your pain, but to help you experience these incredible benefits to the fullest.
