| Can
we treat you? |
| In
essence YES, unless you have a condition
that requires a referral to your GP, that
would only become clear at the initial
consultation. |
| As
the vast majority of back pain is likely
to be poor function, most patients with
a mechanical problem should respond well
to our treatment program. |
| The
treatment mainly consists of manipulation
which can be a quick thrust which frees
up the joints, this can be done using
a drop mechanism on the bench, or a hand-held
tool to deliver an impulse or by hand. |
| Or
mobilisation, which is a slower movement
to increase the range of movement of a
stiff area or joint, this can be done
using hands or for the lower back a gentle
traction can be performed again using
the highly versatile bench. |
| In
some cases the application of wedges under
the pelvis can help to very gently restore
function to the inflamed joints. This
is particularly useful for late stage
pregnancy. |
