Holistic Care

Introduction

At St Asaph Family Chiropractic Clinic we offer three care pathways: Treatment, Rehabilitation and Wellness.

Most patients will achieve pain relief with a few chiropractic treatments. Some patients are happy with this and will terminate care once they are no longer in severe pain. The advantage of this approach is that it is the cheapest. The disadvantage is that it probably does not sort out the underlying dysfunction; In most cases of back pain the spinal joints and ligaments around them have been deteriorating slowly for years. A longer rehabilitation programme to stabilise and rebuild damaged tissues is recommended to get to the root of the problem.

If you want to achieve optimum health then wellness is for you. Regular treatments to keep your spine and joints aligned and moving correctly may be combined with a look at your diet, other health needs, use of vitamins and herbal supplements and ways of de-stressing including home relaxation techniques and craniosacral therapy.

Chiropractic is the art and science practiced by chiropractors. In many ways chiropractic is similar to physiotherapy and osteopathy as practiced by physiotherapists and osteopaths. Although there is much debate about the difference between Chiropractors and Osteopaths, in reality their approaches have much in common. Physiotherapists who manipulate are also similar to Chiropractors and Osteopaths.
