History
From naught to ninety you have a health history that paints the picture of you and your family. To fully understand how we can help you we ask you to first fill in a thorough intake form before arriving at the clinic.
Informed Consent
We want you to be educated advocates of chiropractic, so we aim for you to be well informed about the benefits of chiropractic and any risks that might be involved. This process will include some reading and signing of paperwork before we proceed in assessing anyone.
Examination
A thorough examination will be conducted; their range of motion will be assessed, and neurological tests will be performed including:
- Bone / Joint function
- Nerve & Muscle Function
- Global Posture
- Brain Function
- Preparatory Orofacial Examination
- Functional Symmetry
- Measurements; According to the World Health Organisation
Photographs will also be taken of your child's posture and head shape will be taken, for comparison later on.
Body Work
Bodywork and Chiropractic adjustments may be appropriate and beneficial after the assessment process. Dr Paula will make recommendations on the frequency of care at home care for optimal results.
The bodywork itself may make the baby cry but does not take long, and when their function has improved and there are less tender points they are often very relaxed with no crying at all.
