What To Expect

Chiropractic is drug-free and natural. Chiropractic is backed by research and chiropractors enjoy one of the highest levels of patient satisfaction in health care!

How to Become a Patient

If Chiropractic sounds right for you, it’s easy to get started. Just call our office in Rosebud on 03 5986 5700.

You don’t need a referral from a medical doctor or anyone else to begin Chiropractic care. Our knowledgeable staff can answer most questions over the telephone. If you want to explore a concern more privately, just ask.  Contact us at Adam’s Back today and we will be happy to help you with your queries.

With new patient openings throughout the day, we can arrange a consultation with Dr Mackey that works into your busy schedule.

No-Obligation Consultation

You can arrange a private consultation with Dr Mackey to describe your health issue and share your goals. This is often helpful in determining if you’re likely to be a good candidate for Chiropractic care.

Your First Visit

Your first visit with us is designed to get an overall picture of your current health status in order to be safe and thorough with you.  When you arrive for your first visit, you will be greeted by one of our friendly assistants who will ask you to complete some information about your health history and current lifestyle.

The Chiropractor will:
 * complete a thorough health history with you, asking questions about any specific complaint you may have, as well   as questions about your overall current health status.
 * complete an examination of your spine and nervous system, check your posture and examine the way your spine moves,
 * perform any orthopaedic and neurological testing that is required, and feel you spine, including the surrounding muscles, for the presence of imbalance or subluxation.
 * examine any injuries or concerns regarding other areas of the body, including the hips, legs, shoulders and arms.

At the conclusion of your examination, the chiropractor may wish to have some x-rays taken of your spine or an injured area to accurately measure alignment issues or to assess the extent of an injury. Rest assured that we will take only the required views, and if you have had x-rays taken recently you may not need to have any taken at all.

After your consultation, the Chiropractor will carefully review your x-rays and compare them with the results from the examinations performed to assess your needs thoroughly. The results will be presented to you on your next visit so you will be clear on what care plan will be required for you to receive the most effective and sustainable outcome.

Chiropractic adjustments are the most essential part of your care.
Spinal joints that aren’t moving correctly can choke or irritate nearby nerves. Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing nervous system disruption. With the nervous system interference removed, your health can return.
Like lifting a heavy rock off your toe, our patients often report a pleasant sense of release directly following their adjustments.

Techniques

Sometimes a specific, highly accurate thrust is used. Or an instrument delivers carefully directed energy. Or a slow, constant pressure is used. Several areas may be adjusted, or just one. Sometimes a popping sound is heard.

If you are familiar with Chiropractic care and you are seeking a chiropractor who can continue your care in the style you are accustomed, our Chiropractors utilise AK, SOT, Gonstead, CBP and activator methods to support clients who have a wide range of needs.

How to Feel Great?

Because we include adjustments to help your body correct itself, most patients report a sense of well-being and ease after care. It’s like feeling that your body is back in the position it belongs so you can function freely and comfortably.

Everyone Benefits

Newborns, infants, children, seniors and even back surgery patients can get adjusted. Your adjustments are naturally tailored to your size, age and particular health issue.

If you wish to find out for yourself, you are welcome to schedule a no-obligation consultation to discuss your problem.
