What does chiropractic adjust?
We adjust you
Upper Back
Chiropractic treatment can help alleviate pain and stiffness in the upper back, commonly associated with whiplash, headache or vertigo.
Lower Back
Chiropractic care is often sought for lower back pain relief, addressing issues such as muscle strain, spinal misalignment, and herniated discs through manual adjustments, exercises, and therapeutic modalities.
Disc Hernation
Chiropractic care may offer relief from the symptoms of disc herniation, such as sciatica or radiating pain, by addressing spinal alignment and reducing pressure on affected nerves.
Craniomandibular Dysfunction (CMD)
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve alignment and function in the jaw and neck area, potentially alleviating symptoms associated with craniomandibular dysfunction.
Scoliosis
Chiropractic treatment may involve specific adjustments and exercises to help manage the symptoms of scoliosis and improve spinal alignment.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Chiropractic care may help alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome by addressing nerve compression in the wrist and forearm through adjustments and other therapeutic techniques.

Tendinitis
Chiropractic treatment can aid in the management of tendinitis by addressing underlying musculoskeletal imbalances and promoting proper joint function and mobility.

Chiropractic care may involve adjustments to improve spinal alignment, nerve function and jaw muscles relaxation. This will improve the latch of newborns and babies, thus increasing the milk supply.
Your first visit
01
Anamnesis*
I start with the anamnesis ( a careful interrogation about your health) health history, current symptoms, any previous injuries or medical conditions and lifestyle factors will be detailed.
A thorough examination of your whole body. Orthopaedic tests, neurological tests. In some cases, the chiropractor read your X-rays, MRI or CT to get a more detailed view of the spine and related structures. This helps in formulating an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
02
Find the source
The chiropractor may use palpation (touch) to identify areas of tenderness, muscle tension, or spinal misalignments.
Clarifying the source of the pain (muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves etc) is a key step.
03

04
Treatment plan
Based on the assessment, the chiropractor will propose a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may involve a series of chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle recommendations, and other modalities.
The chiropractor will discuss the frequency of visits required for optimal results and how long the treatment plan is expected to last.
Post-treatment phases
Recovery? – Relief phase: symptoms improvement, feeling better.
Need to change the pattern with more frequent adjustments. This phase has to do with the body’s ability to adapt (direct improvement or changing to worse before getting better).
Improving? – Corrective and stabilisation phase: improved biomechanics and function stabilizing
Adresses to the cause of the dis-ease, you continue the care in order to maintain and optimise your health.
Optimising ? – Wellness phase: I want to stay with an optimal health = Doing and being your best.
Getting regularly adjusted will insure you of living at your optimum level of health and function even though we are always under stress (physical, emotional or chemical).
