How well you follow the aftercare and lifestyle advice given by your chiropractor
|
Typically most patients need between two and six sessions (your chiropractor will advise), initially at weekly intervals, then gradually more widely spaced out, by which time a noticeable change should have occurred, though chiropractic care may continue for longer. Once the problem has been resolved, regular check-ups are recommended to keep your body functioning well. Progress will be reviewed regularly.
Responses and Reactions to Treatment
During a course of chiropractic care most patients feel physical changes as the body re-aligns. These may include a brief period of stiffness or tiredness, especially after the first session when your body is adapting to its new posture.
Your chiropractor will also give you aftercare and lifestyle advice to help you get the most out of your chiropractic care.
The logo depicts Cheiron, who was the wisest of the Greek centaurs. A teacher and a healer, Cheiron was tutor to both Achilles and Jason. Apart from his obvious connection with teaching and healing, Cheiron admirably illustrates the dual application of the McTimoney technique to both humans and animals. The Latin motto, In Manu Vis Medendi, means 'in the hands is the power of healing'. By correctly training the hands as an instrument of innate intelligence, healing can be encouraged to take place by the detection and correction of bony subluxations (slight displacements). Cheiron and the motto form the emblem of McTimoney chiropractors and may be displayed only by qualified practitioners who have successfully completed their training in the McTimoney College of Chiropractic.
