Pain Examination

This is our entry level examination. We aim to determine the cause and severity of your problem, and the underlying reasons it occurred.

Whats Involved?

Consultation

You will sit down with one of our Chiropractic Doctors where they will discuss your case in detail. This will include your presenting symptoms, your work and lifestyle habits, prior injuries as well as what your health goals are going forward.

Getting Physical

The next step is a physical assessment. This complete head to toe examination allows us to establish where the areas of pain, swelling and soreness are in your body. Doug will explain all the steps along the way whilst investigating what areas of pain and restrictions you may have.

X-Ray Vision

If necessary our clinic is fully equipped with an X-ray machine that will determine any ‘unseen’ problems. Taken standing up, the X-ray results allow us to see how you hold your body and what underlining issues this may present. The convenience of having this technology onsite means you an
have X-rays taken during your initial consultation with no need to make a booking for a later time. The Chiropractor will instruct you how to stand in a comfortable normal position so a true postural assessment can be performed.

Foot, Feet & Fuction

The Gait scan tool allows us to measure your weight balance when you are standing still and which parts of the foot are taking the most pressure. The Dynamic scan allows us to determine how the foot crosses the ground. A very high percentage of people have poor foot function. Poor foot function directly affects posture, balance, spinal alignment and can be a direct cause of ankle, knee, hip and low back problems..

Muscle Overtime

The second exciting piece of technology we have onsite is the Electromyography (EMG) machine. This clever device measures the electrical signals that muscles produce when they contract. It allows us to view a graphical representation of areas of muscle overactivity, weakness and imbalance. When teamed up with X-ray’s we are given a clear picture of how you are holding your body and how much your muscles have to work to keep you upright!

Report of Findings - What does it all mean?

Once all your assessments are finished, a personalised report will be prepared for you. Doug will explain your results in detail, and provide you with a complete take home pack. Doug will make recommendations for a treatment program along with any lifestyle change suggestions. There is absolutely no obligation to commence treatment following your report however if you are keen to get back to life, we can help!
