Physiotherapists are university trained and are experts in injury diagnosis, injury treatment, exercise prescription, injury prevention, rehabilitation and many other areas of sport and health and fitness.
Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history. If you have them and if they are relevant bring scan/MRI reports, and list of medication. You may wish to bring shorts and t-shirt.
The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the physiotherapist will discuss their treatment plan for the rehabilitation process.

Pain is a symptom, the goal of chiropractic is to locate and correct the cause of all symptoms. If it originates at the brain, spine and nerves of the nervous system, and there is nerve irritation or subluxation, then the cause can identified and corrected. Just like Hippocrates once said: “Look to the spine for the cause of all disease”.

chiropractic has a philosophy, science and art to the profession. Depending on the schooling, training and experience, this will determine the type of care you will receive from the practitioner. But there are different techniques that can serve each individual, from low force type of techniques, to the traditional specific adjustments or manipulations to the spine.

chiropractic is a natural holistic approach to health care and in most cases doctors of chiropractic do not prescribe medications, but help the human body produce the necessary natural remedies from within to heal.
