Chiropractic Care in Salamander Bay
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment lasts about 45 minutes and begins with a relaxed conversation about your main concern, described in your own words. We’ll discuss your health history, medications, surgeries, and any previous injuries. This is followed by a comprehensive exam that includes orthopaedic and neurological testing, range of motion checks, balance assessments, reflexes, and dermatomes.
Some people begin care on their first visit, while others may be referred for X-rays or imaging before care begins. At your second visit, we review our findings and create a plan that suits your goals and comfort level.
Techniques Tailored to You
Every person’s care is unique. Dr Sean (Chiropractor) uses a wide range of chiropractic methods, selecting what best suits your age, health, and preferences. These may include Activator®, Cox Flexion-Distraction, Diversified, drop-piece table work, and elements of Gonstead technique. Our approach combines gentle manual adjustments and low-force mobilisations, ensuring each visit feels appropriate and comfortable.
Empowering You Through Movement and Education
Education plays a big role in your progress. Many people are surprised to learn how much they can influence their own results by staying active and involved. We’ll share practical tips for posture, ergonomics, and daily movement, whether it’s setting up your desk, improving sleep posture, or easing car and plane travel.
You’ll also receive home-based exercises to support your progress. We use the Physitrack rehab app, allowing you to follow your customised exercise program on your phone or computer, complete with videos and instructions. Some patients are also referred to Pilates for ongoing strength, flexibility, and long-term support.
