Initial consult
On your first visit there will be a quick form to fill out so we can start to review your main concerns and general health.
Once completed, we’ll move into our consultation room where we’ll discuss these concerns in more depth in order to obtain accurate details of the issue. We can then move on to a thorough examination. During your examination we’ll be assessing:
- Your posture
- Your mobility
- Your neurological and muscular function
- Specific orthopaedic and chiropractic tests
This will help to determine the type and severity of your problem (diagnosis) and what we decide to be the best course of action from there (to begin treatment, x-rays, further referral).
We will provide some treatment at this stage to aid relief, unless further investigation is required beforehand.
Second visit
Once we have reviewed your case and any necessary x-rays, we will be able to ascertain what course of action is appropriate to achieve best results.
We’ll discuss treatment, exercises and advice to aid short term relief, then future recommendations that will assist in rehabilitation, a return to better function, and reduce the risk of a return to injury.
Regular visits
Recovery can take time and good management. Your regular visits will be scheduled at an appropriate frequency and we’ll discuss suitable times. Each visit will assess progress, and include treatment and recommendations.
Your optimum recovery is dependant on its committed management. It is important that you follow your recommended plan of care – it is designed to progress healing and rehabilitation.
Specific progress exams will be scheduled to assess overall improvement and future recommedations of care and management.
Progress of care
-
Pain Relief / Acute injury management
We’ll work to relieve your pain and get you moving again as quickly as possible. Chiropractic care, utilising appropriate techniques and advice, can provide timely and effective improvement for people of all ages.
-
Corrective / Rehabilitative Care
Once pain relief has been achieved, it is important to work towards correcting the underlying problem so that you may return to healthy function and prevent relapse.
Management includes:
- Chiropractic adjustments
- Exercise and stretch advice
- Ergonomic advice
- Lifestyle advice
-
Maintenance
Your teeth, your car, your fitness and your health are all things that we understand require regular maintenance to function well.
So too, our spines constantly have to adapt to life’s pressures and strains. Regular check-ups, if appropriate to your needs, can help maintain healthy spinal mobility and function, keeping you moving well and feeling great.
You, and your chiropractor, can discuss and decide whether, and how, this may be appropriate for you.

Pregnancy and new mums
As wonderful as it is, pregnancy and nursing a new baby can put pressure on a mother’s body and spine. This can make the journey of motherhood a lot less enjoyable and possibly lead to future back pain and stiffness. We are proud to be part of the ‘team’ for many women, keeping them moving well and feeling good in this important state of their lives – that means you too!
Techniques utilised are gentle, effective and appropriate; and are always discussed prior to care.

Chiropractic for Kids
Sometimes babies don’t read the text books.
Sometimes kids don’t bounce.
Like their older counterparts, kids’ spines can suffer from poor posture, poor mobility and pain.
Events associated with the birth process, developmental milestones, (speed humps) falls, sports and school life can all take their toll. It is important to have good mobility and musculoskeletal function at any age.
Aidan utilises examination procedures, and gentle chiropractic techniques that are age and developmentally appropriate for babies, children and pregnant mothers.
Aidan is also happy to provide referral advice for further examinations and modalities when required.
We are here to help.
Dr. Aidan has had over 23 years’ experience in clinical practice assisting mothers to-be, babies, and children suffering from spinal related pain and loss of function, helping them to regain the benefits of a healthier musculoskeletal system.
In 2014, he completed his 2 year post graduate Diplomate in Chiropractic Paediatrics – one of a small group in Australia to do so. With a greater knowledge base and higher skill set, he is able to provide more benefit to his patients.
