CHIROPRACTIC & MC TIMONEY
Chiropractic is a straight forward method of adjusting the bones of your body to improve the alignment of your skeleton, and through this process help the nervous system to work more efficiently. The purpose of chiropractic care is to realign and rebalance your body to relieve pain and discomfort, and increase mobility.
A misalignment of the joints can occur for many reasons; some of the most common are incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents, falls, stress, and poor posture. This can lead to pain, numbness, pins and needles, or restricted mobility.
The McTimoney method of chiropractic was developed by the late John McTimoney over 50 years ago and is taught only at the McTimoney College of Chiropractic in Abingdon, near Oxford. It is well known for being a precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care. The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it especially suitable for people of all ages.
CAN THE MCTIMONEY HELP ME?
The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it suitable for people of all ages. It’s proven to be effective in treating the following conditions:
• Back, neck and shoulder pain
• Pain, discomfort and stiffness in joints
• Migraine
• Muscular aches
• Sports injuries
• Arthritic pain
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
I will first assess your general health, previous conditions, and existing symptoms. Then I conduct a physical examination to locate the problem, during which time I make adjustments using the light, dextrous techniques associated with the McTimoney technique.
If at any point your I discover or suspect a condition that requires medical intervention, Iwill refer you to your GP for further tests. Normally your first visit can last anything between 30 minutes and an hour. During this time, the I will:
• Take a full case history, assessing your general health, previous conditions, and existing symptoms
• Ask your permission to conduct a thorough physical examinations
• Make adjustments using the light, dextrous techniques associated with the McTimoney technique
My first concern is to find out what is wrong. I will also check for signs of any serious conditions for which you would need specialist advice.
HOW MANY SESSION WILL I NEED?
Most people find between two and six sessions sufficient to address straightforward problems. The number and frequency of treatments will depend on a number of factors,including:
• Age
• Extent of injury
• Duration of injury
• General fitness
• Stress (muscle tension & stress on your nervous system)
• Posture
The anticipated number of sessions will be discussed with you prior to treatment. Once you’re up and running, you can choose to schedule regular check-ups a few times ayear to keep chronic conditions under control.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER TREATMENT?
During a course of chiropractic care you can expect to feel physical changes as your body realigns. These may include stiffness or tiredness, particularly after your first session. i will give you advice on aftercare and any necessary lifestyle changes to help you get the most out of your care. It is important that you talk to ME if you feel worried about anything either during or after treatment.
