Chiropractic Treatment
We offer effective ways of treating a number of conditions. Chiropractors are well known for the effective treatment of back and neck pain. The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) currently recommended that one of the first treatment options to be considered should be a course of manual therapy including spinal manipulation.
Three phases of chiropractic care
Phase one:
Phase one is the initial intensive care. Most new patients begin their treatment at this phase. Visits can be frequent depending on the severity of your condition. The primary focus is to reduce or eliminate your most obvious symptoms
Phase two:
Phase two moves to the rehabilitative process. During this phase, the chiropractor focuses on stabilising and strengthening the spine to promote the healing process. This helps to avoid a relapse.
Phase three:
Phase three concentrates on preventing a recurrence of your condition. Once the chiropractor is happy that the spine is functioning to the best of its ability, regular chiropractic check-ups are often recommended. This phase is vital to maintain improvements in function and movement.
Periodic retest examinations during the course of your treatment help determine your progress.
How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.
Statutory regulation of chiropractic
The General Chiropractic Council (GCC) is a UK-wide statutory body with regulatory powers, established by the Chiropractors Act 1994. It has four main duties:
To protect the public by establishing and operating a scheme of statutory regulation for chiropractors.
To set the standards of chiropractic education, practice and conduct.
To ensure the development of the profession of chiropractic, using a model of continuous improvement in practice.
To promote the profession of chiropractic so that its contribution to the health of the nation is understood and recognised.
