Throughout my 12 years of practice as a chiropractor, I have found that the patients that get better quickly and then stay better, are the ones that are most interested in their health. It goes without saying that if you are active and feel good and appreciate what 'good health' is you will see the point of getting better and of doing your best to stay better.
These motivated patients are generally the ones that have a keen interest in what chiropractic has to offer them and are not just turning up for treatment for the sake of it. If you find that you are not fully motivated to be super active and just want to get out of pain our healthcare classes are there to help motivate you, and to help you reach your full potential for getting better in the shortest possible time.
As a response to the positive impact patient's gained from our original healthcare class, we now offer an expanded program of three health care classes aimed at the three stages of care which patients will typically go through. These stages will be explained to you thoroughly at the Report of Findings appointment (appointment 2) but the talks will give you extra information and advice.
Classes are informal and light hearted and include light refreshments. Classes are also free of charge - just phone to book a place.
1. Get out of Pain (Acute Phase).
What to do and not to do in the first few weeks of treatment to help yourself get out of pain as quickly as possible.
2. Stabilisation Phase (Maintaining a Healthy Back).
Now that you are out of pain we have to start retraining your spine to function better and to keep the momentum going for getting better.
3. Wellness (Staying well).
Now that your back pain is a dim and distant memory we need to keep you well and maintain the improvements that you have achieved over the course of treatment. We will talk about stress and lifestyle and how they can affect the body over time.
These classes are only 30-45 minutes long, you only need to come once and they are free of charge. Patients who attend classes tend to find them useful enjoyable and informative.
Health care talks are free and you are more than welcome to bring a friend or partner along.
