Chiropractic

Chiropractic is a primary health care discipline, which emphasises the inherent recuperative power of the body to heal itself without the use of drugs or surgery. It is the third largest primary healthcare profession after medicine and dentistry.

The practise of chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the structure (primarily the spine) and function (as coordinated by the nervous system) and how that relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health. In addition, Doctors of Chiropractic recognise the value and responsibility of working in cooperation with other health care practitioners when in the best interest of the patient.

The basic concept of chiropractic relates to the fact that the nervous system controls all organs, tissues and cells of the body. When vital nerve communication pathways are interfered with, as can occur with a variety of structural and/or functional problems in the spine, pain and ill health can be the result. Research both within and outside the chiropractic profession now provides support for this concept.

Chiropractors locate areas of altered spinal function that may be causing nervous system interference and are particularly interested in a specific problem affecting the spine called, the vertebral subluxation. Chiropractors detect and remove vertebral subluxations.

Our Techniques

The primary technique used in this practice is Gonstead technique, though some other techniques will be used as appropriate. Gonstead is a very specific technique and can be adapted for patients of all ages from new born babies to the adults.

If you've been to a chiropractor before and prefer to be adjusted in a particular way, let Dr. Rachael Talbot know. We want you to relax, enjoy and fully benefit from your chiropractic care.

If you've ever gone to a social event where you didn't know anyone, you know how uncomfortable that can make you feel.  Our goal is to eliminate every shred of apprehension and make you feel at home.
Since chiropractic care involves a series of visits, with each one building on the ones before, it's important that our relationship can go the distance. We've found that one of the best ways to have successful patient relationships is to explain everything in advance. No surprises! The more you understand who we are, what we do and why we do it, the better results you'll enjoy. It's as simple as that.

First Visit.Your opportunity to explain all about your health and pain complaints. Our chance to investigate and find out how we can help you.

Second Visit.A detailed report of findings explaining our findings, your chance to ask questions and your first chiropractic adjustment. Your initial treatment plan will be discussed and booked at this appointment.

Regular Visit.These are much shorter and are for adjusting your spine to help you to heal. Periodic re-evaluations will be scheduled to evaluate progress which will be slightly longer.
