First Visit
Consultation and Case History
We start by taking a complete history of your health both before and during the pregnancy, ranging from general medical conditions as well as any biomechanical symptoms. We take note of any biomechanical or medical problems during previous pregnancies and deliveries if applicable. Lifestyle habits, activity levels and nutritional status are all areas we look at. Other significant previous medical history or significant family history details are then recorded. You can be assured that all information is strictly confidential.Examination
In addition to the routine postural observation, spinal analysis, orthopaedic and neurological exam that we cover in a routine chiropractic assessment, we also assess the approximate lie of the baby (depending on the week of pregnancy). We pay particular attention to areas that can often be problematic during pregnancy; that is the Sacro-iliac joints (pelvis) and symphysis pubis and their associated muscles and ligaments. We have a special pregnancy pillow that accommodates ‘the bump’ allowing you to lie face down on the chiropractic bench.
Report of findingsBefore treatment commences, our chiropractors will give a summary of the Chiropractic findings and will give you an opinion as to the suitability of chiropractic treatment for you. If deemed suitable, we will gain consent before commencing any kind of treatment.
Treatment
Treatment may or may not be started on the first visit, depending on the individual case and of course consent. Treating pregnant mums-to-be involves gentle techniques. Our chiropractors are experienced at treating pregnant women and will always make sure you are comfortable. They are trained to use specific adjustments to the muscles and ligaments that promote optimal balancing of the pelvis in pregnancy.
We have a kids' area where your children can play whilst you have treatment, to allow appointments to run smoothly and efficiently.
Testimonials
I have been a patient of Franco since February 2008 and due to health problems combined with a stressful job as a Head Teacher, I have seen him on a regular basis since. Franco's ability to listen carefully to my description regarding my aches, pains and tension in my body is evident in his detailed feed back and questions to me. This has led to the treatments being highly effective and progress being made consistently giving me not only physical relief but also a freedom and ease of movements. Franco has also taught me simple, practical exercises to help me manage my body effectively in between sessions with him. His level of professionalism is outstanding in all areas. Franco is truly a skilful and gifted Sports Therapist and I am very grateful to him for his continued support and care.
