Your Consultation
As a new patient you will be invited to book two appointments: An initial detailed consultation and examination will include multiple tests and scans to understand how well your body is functioning and establish how we can best meet your needs. Our consultations are adaptable to suit the needs of every patient no matter the age or stage. The tests and scans are non-invasive and safe for children, pregnant people and adults of all ages. This appointment can last up to one hour.
At your follow-up appointment, you will receive a Report of Findings where the chiropractor will take you through your results in detail, and from here determine the best course of action to help you achieve your goals, and optimise your future health.
SERVICES
At Southside Chiropractic we incorporate multiple techniques to allow for the best care possible for each individual. Each adjustment is tailored to restore just the right balance of integrity and function within each person.
Postural Analysis
At the practice we take digital images of your posture to determine how your stance may be affecting your weight-bearing load. An uneven balance can be the cause of spinal wear and tear. We will take regular postural analysis throughout your care to track progress. Click here to find out more.
MyoVision
Using EKG technology, this static sEMG tool provides a quick measure of muscle tension about the spine, showing muscular compensation patterns for various spinal disorders. It’s the electronic form of palpation.
The ScanVision™ sEMG measures the electrical activity of the paraspinal muscles while weight bearing. Easily, accurately, and objectively measuring muscle tension. Click here to find out more.
Heart Rate Variability
Scientists and physicians consider HRV to be an important indicator of health and fitness. As a marker of physiological resilience and behavioral flexibility, it reflects our ability to adapt effectively to stress and environmental demands.
This scan takes three minutes and is performed by attaching a small clip to your ear lobe. The HRV scan measures heart rate and rhythm and helps us understand and observe your stress response better.
Tests & Assessments
A series of measurements, orthopaedic and neurological tests based on your general health will help us find out how your nervous system is functioning, and how your brain is able to process your environment, thus controlling your body. The tests assess Neurological and Vital Sign patterns, and they will be carried out at intervals throughout your care, to chart your progress and wellbeing.
