JONES CHIROPRACTIC

A full case history, including general health background as well as details of your symptoms will be taken. Followed by a thorough examination and assessment of the bones and joints and then a diagnosis and treatment plan will be disussed and agreed upon. If any problems are discovered or suspected which require medical investigation or an X-ray you will be referred back to your GP. During a course of treatment most patients feel physical changes as the body re-aligns. These may include a brief period of stiffness or tiredness, but more often a feeling of well-being and relief from pain. This varies considerably depending on age, the nature of the problem and the amount of time you have had the problem.

Generally, people need between two and six sessions. During your pregnancy your body will undergo many changes, both physical and emotional, as your baby develops and your body prepares for giving birth. You will probably already be aware of many of the more obvious changes, which can result in heartburn and indigestion, morning sickness, sciatica, backaches and tiredness. The gentle nature of McTimoney chiropractic makes it especially suitable for pregnant women. Treatment from the third month onwards in pregnancy can help you overcome pain and discomfort and help your body prepare for the birth of your baby.

Many of the aches and pains associated with the changes your body undergoes during pregnancy can be helped by chiropractic treatment. One of the most noticeable aspects which often causes back pain is the change in your posture as you adapt your stance to accommodate your growing baby. Realigning your spine and pelvis can help to take some of the strain off your joints, shoulders, lower back and legs, the areas usually most affected by your changing posture. Another change, which occurs naturally in pregnancy, is the softening of your ligaments. Whilst this process is perfect for giving birth, it does mean that your joints can come under additional stress.
