What chiropractic actually involves
No mystery, no miracle claims. Just tailored care for you.
Chiropractic is a regulated healthcare profession focused on the assessment, diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the muscles, joints and spine. At True Axis that means a thorough look at what's going on, a conversation about what we find, and a treatment approach that's built around your specific situation.
The most well known technique is spinal manipulation, often called an adjustment. It's a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint to restore normal movement. But it's rarely the whole picture. Soft tissue work, rehabilitation exercises and patient education all form part of how we work depending on what you need.
Common reasons people come in include:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches including cervicogenic and tension-type
- Sciatica
- Hip, knee, ankle and shoulder complaints
- General stiffness or restricted movement
If you're not sure whether chiropractic is right for what you're dealing with, the best answer is to come in and find out. That's what the first appointment is for.
Chiropractic
Chiropractic at True Axis is built around understanding you first. Before any treatment begins, we take a thorough case history and carry out a full physical assessment to get a clear picture of what’s going on and what’s driving it. Treatment typically involves spinal manipulation, soft tissue work, rehabilitation exercises and postural advice, tailored to your specific presentation. Every plan is different because every person is different. We commonly work with people experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and hip, knee and shoulder complaints. We also see a range of sports related presentations, from acute injuries and overuse complaints to people who simply want to move and perform better. Whether you’re a weekend runner, a gym regular or a competitive athlete, the same thorough approach applies. We also see people who aren’t in pain at all but want to understand how their body is moving and stay on top of it before something becomes a problem. Appointments are unhurried. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what we found, what we believe is the right approach, and what to expect next.
