Assessment

WHAT WE DO

As a new client our first aim is to establish a diagnosis and the exact source of your symptoms. We listen to each patient’s story. We carefully assess and determine which structures are at fault.  This allows us to recommend to you the most effective treatment and teach you a personalised exercise programme where necessary to prevent re-injury.

Chiropractors are specialised healthcare providers that have undergone 4 years full time university training plus an additional year post-graduate training.

Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, manage and prevent disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, and muscles), as well as the effects these disorders can have on the nervous system and your general health. Chiropractors have particular expertise in the treatment and management of neck and back pain and associated nerve complaints.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS

This will involve taking a detailed history of your problem and any other pertinent medical history that you may have.

If you have previous MRI scans, please bring your results or your disc.

Your Chiropractor will then carefully physically examine the affected area. This may include an examination of your

  • posture/ alignment
  • flexibility through your injured area and associated areas
  • We may conduct some orthopaedic and neurological tests that are used to determine the structures at fault and the severity of the problem.
  • We may advise where medically necessary an X-ray of the affected body part or occasionally directly refer you for MRI.

Gorey Family Chiropractic is equipped with full digital X-ray facilities for convenience and rapid assessment.

AFTER ASSESSMENT

We will explain to you the findings of your physical examination, if you had x- rays or MRI we will show you the images and explain all relevant findings so you understand why your condition started.

We can then outline to you the very best treatment options available for your condition.

We will also discuss what other actions you may need to take to recover fully and prevent re-injury.

We communicate with each client’s health professionals, as needed, to ensure that they are receiving the best, most comprehensive care possible.
