Our team of professionals strives to offer a comfortable and inclusive environment to all our patients.
Your first visit
During the initial consultation, we will take a thorough case history and perform a physical examination. This examination is tailored to your specific needs and includes observation of the problem area, range of motion assessment, postural assessment, neurological and orthopedic testing, myofascial analysis, vertebrogenic kinematical assessment (spinal function examination) as well as a spinal scan with our Sigma Ultralign instrument. A computerized gait scan evaluation is also performed where indicated, and radiological investigations may be also reviewed.
After the examination, we inform you of any clinical findings relevant to your assessment and a management plan is designed specifically to address the issue.
If examination results indicate that a patient is not suited for chiropractic care, or in the unusual event that a patient does not respond to care, they will be referred to a healthcare professional best suited to their needs.
Subsequent treatments
Since severity of injury is not the same for all patients, the number of treatments required can vary. When patients seek care without delay, improvement can occur rapidly. However, when it comes to chronic conditions, longer recovery times can generally be expected. Some patients may benefit from supportive care (periodic treatment), which helps to maintain an optimal level of health and improved function and avoid relapses or further injury.
To maximize treatment outcomes in both the short and long term, therapeutic and educational components are adjusted as the patient’s condition evolves and changes over time.
