CHIROPRACTIC CARE

How can our individualised Chiropractic care help you?

Our evidence-based practice can help you to achieve your health goals, as our chiropractors assess the structure and function of the spine and nervous system.

Our Chiropractors are patient, focused and have completed a minimum of five years of university study to diagnose and treat your spine and musculoskeletal complaints.

We work with all ages - from birth, to senior care and everyone else in between!

OUR TREATMENT TECHNIQUES INCLUDE

  • Manual Adjustments

  • Activator Adjustments

  • Drop Piece Adjustments

  • Soft Tissue Techniques

  • Dry Needling

  • Taping

Our Chiropractors use low force, high amplitude techniques called adjustments to treat joint restrictions that are causing pain or dysfunction. These adjustments help the body heal and move at its best!

Our Chiropractors will vary each treatment to cater for the individual needs of each patient.

  • Welcome to Darch Chiropractic & Health. We are so excited that you have decided to make your health a priority! We are looking forward to meeting you. Please feel free to let our friendly staff know if you need anything or have any questions.

    Sometimes the unknown can be a little unnerving, so we want to ensure you feel as comfortable as possible and know what to expect prior to your appointment.

    YOUR FIRST VISIT

    Your first visit will take approximately 30 minutes. We ask that you please arrive 10 minutes before your schedule appointment to complete your new patient paperwork.

    You will then have a consultation with your chiropractor which includes discussing your presenting complaint(s) and reviewing your medical history.

    A thorough spinal, orthopaedic, and neurological examination will be conducted which will assist your doctor in forming a diagnosis and plan for treatment. Your chiropractor may decide to refer you for x-rays or other type of imaging to assist in diagnosis. This will be discussed at your appointment.

    Treatment on the first visit will depend on your condition and it is up to the discretion of the chiropractor. In most cases, relief care will be provided.

    YOUR SECOND VISIT

    Your second visit will take approximately 30 minutes. During this time the chiropractor will discuss the results of your examination and if you were sent for x-rays these will be reviewed with you.

    The chiropractor will then provide you with recommendations and discuss a treatment plan with you. This appointment will include chiropractic treatment based on your individualised needs.

    This appointment is also a perfect time to ask any questions that you had after your first visit.

    Questions are welcomed anytime!

  • WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC?

    Chiropractic care focuses on providing natural, drug free treatment of musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions. Chiropractors use their hands to examine, diagnose and treat problems within the joints, ligaments, bones, and muscles. Chiropractors treat these conditions primarily through spinal adjustment and soft tissue treatment and will accommodate each treatment to the individualised needs of their patients.

    WHAT IS AN ADJUSTMENT

    Chiropractors assess the structure and function of the spine and nervous system. Our Chiropractors use low force, high amplitude techniques called adjustments to treat joint restrictions that are causing pain or dysfunction. These adjustments help the body heal and move at its best!

    DO I NEED X - RAYS?

    No, x-rays and other imaging referrals are required on an individual as needed basis. During your initial consultation our Chiropractors will assess if x-rays are needed based on your history and physical examination to assist with diagnosis and ensure you are given appropriate treatment to meet your needs.
