Agreement for Care
At this clinic we are passionate about giving our patients the health care that they want. We make sure that patients are involved at all times with decisions about each stage of their treatment.

Progression of treatment
Typically, although by no means always, clients start care with a problem; perhaps pain, pins and needles or headache. Resolution of the symptom is often the initial focus of treatment. Our skill is in identifying the cause of problem which is often well beyond the area of discomfort. The first phase of treatment is aimed at stabilising the initial problems.

During this process, we strive to achieve an in-depth understanding of a patient's core health challenges. This offers the opportunity for more profound health benefits than initially envisaged.

In the second stage of treatment, focus is placed upon maitaining the advances achieved in order that soft tissues (muscles and ligaments) can wholly and permanently adjust. During this process, attention is given to addressing longer term issues (eg. posture, ergonomics, diet, lifestyle etc.) which may have give rise to problems in the first instance. Where patients request and where indicated, we advise, counsel and support towards achieving the required changes.

The third stage of treatment is aimed at monitoring and maintaining progress with a view to maximising the health benefits of a fully functioning spine.


Our priorities
The exclusive consideration in our treatment is patient wellbeing. Whatever it is you are looking for, we are here to honor your choices. And if we can’t help, we probably know someone who can.
