How many sessions will I need?

-the number of sessions required depends on:
                 - your age - you generally heal slower with                                      age.
                 - the nature of the problem - depending on the
                   acuteness or chronic condition of the                    problem.
-most people need between two & ten sessions, beginning at weekly intervals & gradually expanding to 3/6 month intervals. As the nature of the problem improves, you just need occassional maintenance checks.

How will I feel after a treatment?

-most people feel physical changes as the body adjusts. This may include a brief period of stiffness or tiredness but more often than not people have a feeling of wellbeing & relief from pain.


How can I help myself after a treatment?

-you can help your body readjust by;
           - resting after the treatment
           -taking it easy for 24 to 48 hrs
           -observe your posture
           -drink plenty of water
           -avoid hot baths for 24 hrs to stop your body going              into its old alignment
           -eat simple healthy food to give your body the support             of healing itself by being easy & kind to it.

Is Chiropractic only used when there is an acute problem?

-chiropractic can greatly improve bodily health & wellbeing. It is recommended as a preventative therapy as well as a restorative therapy. Maintenace chiropractic can help maintain a healthy balance & release the body from future misalignment.
