Doctor’s of chiropractic undergo a five year masters degree qualifying them to carry out a full medical consultation and examination including x-rays, blood analysis, orthopaedic and biomechanical tests. This thorough assessment aids your chiropractor to make a working diagnosis for your case.
Chiropractors recognise that the relationship between our spinal alignment and the function of our nervous system can effect the preservation and restoration of health. By improving the spine and musculoskeletal system chiropractors play a part in relieving the pain associated with many disorders listed below.
There is a common misconception that chiropractors only work with the spine correcting neck and low back pain. Although it is common for chiropractors to work on the spine our training involves much study on peripheral joints, such as the hip, elbow, knee, shoulder or ankle. Our primary goal is to restore function in these areas, resolving pain and keeping you supple.
Unique to chiropractic care is the chiropractic adjustment. Otherwise known as spinal manipulation, chiropractors are trained to specifically adjust the spine and or extremities by applying focused and localised pressure to specific joints. This restores motion to restricted joints and reduces nerve irritation allowing the body in time to heal itself more effectively.
At Transform Wellness your chiropractic visits will be performed clothed. We ask you to remove any belts or heavy outer layers. After your adjustment you will be directed to lay down and use our intersegmental roller tables (10 minute spinal massage).
Our chiropractors use a combination of adjustment techniques allowing us to match the need of the individual. Our goal is to correct spinal misalignment in the most gentle way possible.
Chiropractic adjustments are safe and effective for all age groups, and we take care of babies right through to the elderly. There are multiple ways we can make spinal adjustments and our chiropractors are trained in many different techniques.
Our chiropractors can offer light or more physical care which is determined by the clients wants and needs.
Chiropractic care is effective for pain relief for those suffering from moderate to severe pain.
After events such as accidents, mobility may be reduced. Chiropractic care can help an individual regain their mobility whilst strengthening their muscles and relieving pain. Chiropractors can advise on specific exercises to help recovery and regain movement.
Chiropractic is a practice that revolves around medicine-free treatment and no drugs are administered, which means that there will be no potential adverse drug reactions.
Chiropractic adjustments help align the spine improving posture. This can reduce strain on muscles and joints.
At Transform Wellness we use a multifactorial approach to patient care to ensure optimal results.Â
Massage – our chiropractors may recommend sport or Swedish massage throughout your care plan to encourage quicker healing.
Rehabilitation – we have a 2000 sq ft onsite rehab facility where we will teach you all the exercises to help yourself heal and prevent further problems.
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression – If you are struggling with a trapped nerve our chiropractors may suggest spinal decompression therapy to alleviate your symptoms.
Nutritional and supplemental advice – advice may be given on how nutrition can help with your healing and condition. Supplemental advice to boost healing and promote recovery may be given. At Transform Wellness we have an in house health shop where everything needed to help you can be bought onsite.
Hot/Cold therapy – our chiropractors will advise when to use heat or cold with specific instructions to aid pain management.
Prior to your first consultation, our receptionist will confirm your scheduled time, provide clear directions, and offer parking details for our car park. We suggest arriving 15 minutes early to complete our health history and medical questionnaires before meeting with our chiropractors. Following this your consultation will include a medical history review, extensive physical examination, orthopaedic testing, digital posture assessment, InBody assessment, Functional Movement Screen, EMG spine scans and if needed digital X-rays. This will form a complete assessment which we call our wellness score.
After your initial consultation, our chiropractor will establish a working diagnosis and determine if we can assist you. If we can, you will attend a second visit, known as our Report Of Findings. Prior to this appointment, our team will thoroughly analyse your case and develop a personalised care plan to achieve your goals and recovery. During your second visit, our chiropractors will review your wellness score, discuss any X-rays taken, and outline the proposed plan of action.
Treatments at Transform Wellness should not be painful or hurt. Chiropractic adjustments should be comfortable. If you are very sensitive we have many techniques available to provide individualised care. Sports massage is thorough and can be tender when receiving due to extreme muscle tension. Our therapists however will adapt their techniques to meet your sensitivity level. Functional rehabilitation should not hurt. Our specialists will guide you with effective exercises to help yourself within your pain threshold.
The price of our initial consultation and report of findings can be found on our fees page. Your treatment plan following the first two visits may vary in price depending on what services are needed to achieve results. As everyone’s goals and challenges are different there is no one set fee for a care plan. Our plans are tailored 100% to your needs! Our gym memberships are also listed on our fees page.
The answer to this question lies within the nature of the complaint, the diagnosis and the goals in hand. If you have had the problem for a long time it generally takes more time to resolve your problem. The severity of the condition is also an important factor that our professionals will advise on. Back pain and weight loss can equally take time to resolve but within a 2 – 3 month period fantastic results can be made. Our professionals will give you a more accurate personalised timeframe at your report visit.
We ask for 24 hours cancellation if you cannot make an appointment and our team will do our best to re-schedule your appointment. We are very flexible and will endeavour to keep you on your recommended schedule.
