Your “4 – STEPS” to get pain relief and improve your strength and stability…
Here at Sussex Spine Care our goal is to help you overcome pain and physical limitations and get back to doing what you love.
We understand how frustrating it can be for you to live with pain, and not being able to fully participate in life. For just a brief moment, imagine what having a body that functions at its very best would be like.
What would be possible for you?
Our “4 STEP” Health Process is how we bridge the gap from where you currently are, to where you want to be. We do this in a caring, patient-centred way that leaves you feeling empowered about your health.
Here is how our unique process works:
STEP 1
Learning about your health situation and your goals.
After you have been greeted by our friendly staff, our chiropractor, Doug, will take the time to listen to you and get a clear understanding of what is currently bothering you and what you need from us. Your health history is an important piece of the puzzle of getting you well again.
During this process, if we deem you are not a candidate for chiropractic care, or need to be seen by another healthcare practitioner, we will refer you to the right people. If you are a candidate for chiropractic care, great, we will then move on to step 2.
STEP 2
The comprehensive examination.
During this part of the “4 STEP” Health Process we go through a very thorough clinical examination. The examination includes, a neurological and orthopaedic assessment, chiropractic specific assessment, Digital EMG scan and balance assessment, plus many more dependant upon how your body presents. All of these procedures are very comfortable and non invasive.
These tests aid our chiropractor, Doug, in making the most well informed clinical diagnosis to help you get back to your very best, in the shortest time possible.
STEP 3
Help you to feel better.
For the most part, people who visit our practice come to us be- cause they need help with a particular pain or problem. Our first treatment goal is to help you move easier and feel less pain.
Based on your clinical findings Doug will cater a personalised treatment plan (if clinically appropriate), this plan will be designed to get you back on your feet again, feeling great in the shortest possible time.
For many, living with less pain and improved movement helps to reduce stress.
STEP 4
Improve the function of your body.
Pain and dysfunction builds up slowly over time through poor movements, and bad ergonomic habits. Often there is loss of function and quality of movement long before pain sets in. This is where our fourth step of the Health Process comes into its own.
Once we have helped you overcome the initial pain you presented with, we work with you to prevent future issues from occurring by building a strong, well functioning body.
Improving the function of your body as a whole is like helping a high performance race car fire on all cylinders or getting a classic car back on the road and keeping it there.
In conjunction to our specific chiropractic adjustments, we utilise a variety of methods to help improve the overall function of your body. Rehabilitative exercises, nutritional and ergonomic advice, functional movements, stress reduction plus lifestyle advice are all common adjuncts used to take your body to the next level.
