What to expect
In our clinic, we provide different types of care. Each person and each need requires a different approach.
Is your problem Acute or Chronic? This may influence the way you should approach your health concern.
Chiropractic care is divided into three phases. Depending on your condition and its chronicity, you may be categorized into a care phase.
Your first visit
As we embark on our therapeutic journey together, we encourage individuals to make positive lifestyle adjustments in line with general well-being practices. Prioritizing the intake of essential macronutrients and micronutrients crucial for bodily growth and repair. Striving to minimize exposure to toxins in the air, water, and food, engage in regular physical activity, address sedentary habits, foster social connections, ensure sufficient sleep, practice mindful breathwork, and work towards reducing unnecessary emotional stress. This proactive self-care lays a foundation for our collaborative efforts, allowing us to tailor advice specifically to your unique needs. For additional insights, feel free to explore our blog for comprehensive information.
Ahead of your initial visit, we kindly request you bring any current medications, supplements, and medical analytics or reports from past or present healthcare providers, including blood test results and imaging.
During the visit, our approach begins with a thorough history-taking process. This involves delving into your current condition, past and present ailments, lifestyle choices, psychosocial factors, family medical history, and relevant health background. This comprehensive history serves as a crucial starting point, guiding us to identify key focus areas. Subsequently, we conduct a physical examination to assess for limitations, discomfort, or abnormalities. These observations not only help pinpoint dysfunctions but also serve as a baseline for tracking physical improvements throughout the course of care.
Following the physical examination, we engage in a detailed discussion of our findings. We go through the identified issues, their potential origins, and propose the most suitable form of care for your specific needs. Together, we establish a care plan that aligns with your goals, detailing the modalities involved, their duration, and frequency. Additionally, we provide insights into what to expect during your initial care sessions.
Concluding your first visit is the commencement of chiropractic care, where you will receive your first chiropractic adjustment. The chiropractic adjustment is an integral part of all types of care we offer.
Types of care:
Structural care:
The Structural care we provide is traditional chiropractic care. It includes a thorough physical assessment and specific chiropractic adjustments together with basic myofascial work if needed. Within this care plan, we primarily focus on the spine and pelvis and their biomechanics. We recommend Structural care to patients that present with mild physical discomfort, and that seek efficient, rapid and precise care to recover their physical ease. A Structural session lasts about 20 minutes as it is done in an “open room” setting and should take place 1 to 3 times a week, for a determined amount of time depending on each individual case. People who choose to engage in this plan are encouraged to take an active part in their care and incorporate a healthier lifestyle based on general evidence-based recommendations.
Structural+ care:
The idea behind this care type is to go more in depth with both the assessment and the therapy techniques and to broaden their reach. Structural+ care is full body orientated and encompasses a variety of soft tissue work, extending the scope of care beyond the spine and pelvis to the cranium, temporomandibular joints and extremities. Of course, all the modalities provided in our Structural care underpin the Structural+ care and are included in it. Structural+ sessions last about 30 minutes, they are 1-on-1, and their frequency is expected to be between 1 to 2 times per week for a determined amount of time depending on each individual case. People who choose to engage in this plan are expected to take an active part in their care and adopt a healthier lifestyle based on general and specific evidence-based recommendations.
Complete care:
This is our most complete and elaborated care plan designed to tackle the most difficult of cases and optimize health to the best of our abilities. It is highly individualized and all encompassing with multi-systems focus. Beyond the modalities included in the care types mentioned above, Complete care includes a comprehensive structural, biochemical and emotional analysis to identify the exact stressors affecting health and how to overcome them according to the body’s priority. Sessions last about 60 minutes, they are 1-on-1, and are expected to be repeated between 2 to 4 times per month for a determined amount of time depending on each individual case. People who choose to engage in this plan are expected to take an active part in their care and should be ready to implement the adequate lifestyle changes based on general and personally tailored evidence-based recommendations.
