McTimoney Chiropractic
What is Chiropractic
Chiropractors offer a package of care with an emphasis on the spine and the neuro-musculoskeletal system and how conditions affecting these areas can affect your health and performance. Chiropractors are trained to assess the neuro-musculoskeletal system and identify restrictions, imbalances and dysfunction. Karen offers a package of care that involves spinal and peripheral joint adjustments and mobilisations, soft tissue treatment and advice on exercise, self help and lifestyle where appropriate. Chiropractors do not use medicines or surgery and the gentle manual approach that Karen uses is safe and comfortable to receive.
A package of chiropractic care is used regularly to help maintain good posture, promote health and improve performance, no matter what you do, from high performance athletes to a senior members of the community. Patients under going chiropractic care often report benefits from
- Joint pains
- Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic)
- Back pain.
- Joint pain including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an adjunct to core OA treatments and exercise
- Generalised aches and pains
- Mechanical neck pain (as opposed to neck pain following injury i.e. whiplash)
- Migraine prevention
- Minor sports injuries and tensions
- Muscle spasms
- Sciatica
- Shoulder complaints (dysfunction, disorders and pain)
- Soft tissue disorders of the shoulder
Referral: Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and if Karen feels your problem is not suitable for chiropractic care or needs further investigation, she will liaise with your GP and other health care providers to arrange appropriate referral, as long as you have given your permission to do so.
The McTimoney Approach to Chiropractic
The McTimoney approach to chiropractic was developed by the late John McTimoney over 50 years ago and is taught only at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic. The gentle nature of the McTimoney approach makes it suitable for people throughout their lifetime.
