Somerset Chiropractic

Chiropractic care is suitable for the whole family and can fit into any lifestyle. Chiropractors are trained to adapt their approach to treatment to the specific needs of the patient, as well as adapt to any condition specific constraints i.e. osteoporosis. Chiropractic treatment can be started at any age and may aid in living a better quality of life. In this fast paced life we live in, chiropractic is not a luxury but necessary to assist in optimum functioning. Chiropractic is definitely not only for the injured or patients in pain. At the first appointment, a thorough case history will be taken and a physical examination will be performed. This will be followed by an orthopedic, neurological and chiropractic examination. All aspects of the examination and treatment will be discussed with the patient and the patient will work hand in hand with the chiropractor to identify the appropriate treatment and management plan for the specific case. At Somerset Chiropractic we identify that each person is unique and may present differently to the next person. Somerset Chiropractic values individualism and thus provides each patient with a tailored management plan. Should the patients’ needs lie beyond the chiropractor’s scope of practice, the patient will be referred to the appropriate practitioner.
