How we can treat your pain
Spinal Dysfunction occurs when the joints within your spine lose the normal pattern of movement thus interfering with the function of the nervous system. This could ultimately lead to an array of dysfunctions, spinal related or not, holistically the body is all connected.
At Innovation Health and Wellness, our goal is to become the leading innovation for wellness to help the individual reach a stasis of living better, feeling better and specifically living and being pain-free. Your first chiropractic experience matters to us. We take the time to assess, diagnosis and provide holistic treatment to help you become pain-free. We specialise in the treatment of nerve, muscle and joint pain.
Prior to your first appointment, we require you to complete the initial consultation form, documenting your brief history, any medical conditions we need to be aware of, allergies, prior health problems and any family history of disease or conditions.
It’s important to communicate the extent of your pain, for example what certain movement aggravates the pain. This allows the chiropractor to understand the source of your pain and the origin of your pain together with the history.
Your examination will start off with the chiropractor performing a thorough physical and neurological examination.
Following this, a Report of Finding (ROF) will be conducted to help you understand the extent of your pain and we shall help you understand how we can help.
At this point, if you decide to move forward with chiropractic care, we shall tailor an individual treatment plan and schedule that will ultimately suit your needs to correct your health condition.
