There are 4 main reasons people call our clinic
- Obvious Spinal Problem
Most people associate chiropractic care with headaches, neck and back problems. However, the most important aspect of your spinal column, is that it houses the spinal cord and emitting spinal nerves.
- Visceral or Organic Complaints
Many consult our office for “non-back” health problems. Chiropractic care has helped many and varied organic health complaints.
- Natural Drug Free Health Care
Those who wish to avoid risky drugs or irreversible surgery will often visit our office first. Chiropractic is a safer, more natural approach to better health.
- Maintenance and Prevention
If you’ve had chiropractic care elsewhere, you already know the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Regular check-ups help maintain spinal health and the normal expression of your nervous system.
Is Chiropractic For Me?
Everyone Can Benefit With Chiropractic Care!
Your nervous system controls and regulates every cell of your body. When your nervous system doesn’t work right, you don’t work right. And when you don’t work right, your sick!
Simple as that.
Since most of the trauma and damage to our spine and nervous system occurs in early years, it makes sense to address and clear these problems early on. Newborns, infants and children respond well to being adjusted. Seniors and even back surgery patients can receive treatment. Naturally, adjustments are tailored to your size, age and particular health issue.
Chiropractic adjustments restore mobility and function to the spine and nervous system, thereby allowing the body to achieve its maximum potential - physically, mentally and socially.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
YOUR FIRST VISIT IS ALL ABOUT FINDING OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH
YOU
Can chiropractic help me?
During your first consultation a detailed case history is taken. This includes details of your current condition(s) or complaint(s), a family history in relation to spinal and general health problems, past conditions or complaints you may have had, plus treatments and their effects. Surgery’s, accidents, etc. throughout your life, and any forms of medication (prescription, vitamin, etc.) you may be taking. And information regarding past and present treatments for your spinal and/or health problems.
Following this initial procedure, we continue with a thorough Chiropractic examination. This includes motion checks, postural analysis, spinal palpation, certain orthopedic and neurological tests and muscle integrity. If needed you may be referred for other testing, etc., by other allied health professionals.
Finally, we give you a referral for Chiropractic specific x-rays.
During your first visit we also endeavor to provide some form of symptom relief until all results from your tests can be evaluated and we have a true understanding of your specific case and needs.
Why X-rays?
Chiropractic x-rays are taken in a weight-bearing position, rather than lying down.
X– Rays provide a structural record of your spine and help in determining spinal condition - so no guesswork will be involved in determining your needed course of treatment.
- Rule out spinal pathology, malformations, etc.
- Locate fractures or other signs of trauma
- Identify evidence of long term spinal decay
- Confirm other examination findings
Spinal Decay
Soon after the discovery of x-rays, chiropractors began using this tool in the examination of the spine.
Besides revealing the presence or absence of proper spinal curves, side views of the spine can more easily show the long-term effects of neglected spinal trauma. We call the body’s adaptation process spinal decay.
X-Ray Referral:
X-Rays are taken at various hospitals and imaging centre's throughout Australia, and locally at Riverina Imaging in Wagga Wagga, Albury and Griffith.
MEDICARE REBATES APPLY FOR X-RAYS
YOUR SECOND VISIT
On your second visit Dr. Darby DC will:
- Explain chiropractic analysis of your x-rays.
- Explain correlation between your examination, case history and your x-rays.
- Discuss the 5 components of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex in relation to your specific case.
- Discuss through personalized charts of your spinal column, the areas of your involvement.
- Discuss through personalized x-ray images, the stages of Subluxation Degeneration (spinal decay) in your case.
- Finally we discuss your treatment - Chiropractic results vary. Some people get results quickly. Others find their recovery takes several months or longer. Children often respond quickly, while adults with long-standing spinal problems heal more slowly. The healing process takes time.
- If we feel your case is a Chiropractic case, and if you wish to begin Chiropractic treatment - we then start your Chiropractic treatment.
KIDS NEED CHIROPRACTIC 2
Optimum Health Begins Before Birth.
Children can benefit from chiropractic care before they are born by having a mother who receives prenatal chiropractic checkups. A healthy diet, proper
exercise, a stress - free environment,and a chiropractic lifestyle help prepare for a happy, healthy baby.
Chiropractic Care Can Be Quite Helpful.
The birth process may be one of the most traumatic events of our lives. Even so called "natural" birthing methods can stress a still developing spine. The resulting irritation to the nervous system can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, unexplained crying, poor appetite, breathing problems, and allergic reactions can often be traced to nervous system dysfunction caused by a malfunctioning spine.
Can Children Benefit From Chiropractic Care?
Head support, followed by crawling, and a baby's first few steps should be followed by Chiropractic Checkups. If neglected, the bumps and falls during this period of rapid growth may lead to serious spinal deformities later in life, this can set the stage for scoliosis, "growing pains", and weakened immune system response.
Children Naturally Enjoy Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjusting techniques are modified to fit a child's size, weight, and unique spinal problem. Children are adjusted gently and safely. Happy parents often report that their children seem healthier than other children their age.
Since most of the trauma and damage to our spine and nervous system occurs in these early years, it makes sense to address and clear these problems early on.
We DO NOT have treatment contracts!
We have treatment fee concessions for:
- Pensioners
- Families under regular chiropractic check-ups
- Health Care Card Holders
- Infants
- Children
CHIROPRACTIC BASICALLY EXPLAINED
The science of chiropractic:
Chiropractic is based on the scientific fact that the nervous system controls the function of every cell, tissue, organ, and system of your body.
While the brain is protected by the skull, the spinal cord is more vulnerable, covered by 24 moving vertebrae. When these bones lose their normal motion or position, they can irritate they nervous system. This disrupts the function of the tissues or organs the nerves control, and this is called the Vertebral Subluxation Complex or Subluxation Syndrome.
The art of chiropractic:
After completion of the procedures of your first visit, and yours is a chiropractic case. Specific chiropractic spinal adjustments may be required.
The words “chiropractic adjustment” describes using a carefully directed and controlled pressure to restore spinal bones to a more normal position or motion. When spinal function is improved, nervous system function (health) can improve too.
After years of training, chiropractic doctors become expert at using the right amount of force in the right direction.
The philosophy of chiropractic:
Love of wisdom - the knowledge of phenomena as explained by, or resolved into, causes and reasons, powers and laws, in its relation to the science and art of Chiropractic - with the implication of their practical application.
WHAT ARE SUBLUXATIONS ?
A subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve impulses between your brain and your body.
sub = less than | luxation = dislocation
A subluxation is a stress response. Muscles go into spasm. spinal bones lock up and adjacent nerves are choked or chaffed. This interferes with the control and regulation of your body. This garbles communications between the brain and various organs, tissues and cells of your body.
Distorted nerve communications can be an underlying cause of many health problems beyond just headaches and back pain.
For example: Interfere with nerve impulses going to and from your stomach to your brain: stomach problems.
In a 'sub optimal state' the spine isn't quite 100%, and neither are the nerves. Often you are no longer in pain, but since only 10% of your nerves carry pain, you are often not aware that the organs are also not functioning at 100%.
In the subluxated state, there is so much chaos in your spine and nerve system that the nerves are unable to send or receive accurate information to and from the brain. As a result you will experience pain, discomfort, headaches, back pain and other obvious symptoms.
Your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. These nerve impulses travel along your nerves. So having a spine free of vertebral subluxation is essential for optimal health.
Chiropractors do not consider a lack of pain to be a key marker in your state of health. Chiropractors look at how well you function as an indicator of your state of health.
For instance top athletes often don't have pain, but demand more from their body, hence they seek Chiropractic care to ensure their spine and nerve system are working optimally.
How Are Subluxations Corrected?
Only a chiropractic examination can detect subluxations. And only chiropractic adjustments can reduce their effect to your nervous system, naturally.
Doctors of chiropractic learn a number of different chiropractic techniques and procedures to correct vertebral subluxations. Most of the procedures involve the application of a chiropractic spinal adjustment to the affected vertebrae.
Chiropractic adjustments involve the application of a quick but gentle corrective force into the "subluxated" spinal vertebrae. The adjustment can be delivered manually through the hands or can be applied through the use of a specialized tool.
Find out if you have subluxations before they become more serious and more difficult to correct. Your Doctor of Chiropractic is the only one trained in locating the Vertebral Subluxation Complex and the only one who is trained in the various forms of techniques to help with correction.
