At your first visit to a McTimoney Chiropractor you will be asked about your general health, past history and your current symptoms to complete a detailed record card. An explanation is given of the aims and effects of the treatment. We then complete a series of muscle strength tests together with mobility and other assessments. A diagnosis is recorded and a treatment plan agreed.
McTimoney Chiropractic is a very gentle effective system of chiropractic for the spine and other joints of the body. The aim of a course of treatments is to improve the alignment of the bones of the body, thereby reducing pain by removing interferences with the nerve supply, allowing the body to function in a natural, relaxed and pain-free way.
Bone and joint positions are checked and adjusted in the following regions:-
|
*
|
Pelvis
|
*
|
Spine
|
|
*
|
Chest
|
*
|
Limbs
|
|

|
Skull

|
Face

It is the gentleness of the McTimoney technique and the treatment of the whole body which distinguishes it from other manipulative methods. At each treatment, body alignment is checked and adjustments made as needed by rapid hand movements without undue discomfort to the patient.
Correcting the alignment of the whole body will ensure that the nervous system has the best opportunity of restoring and maintaining health. This reduces pain, improves posture, increases mobility and stimulates general well-being.
Almost anyone can be treated by Chiropractic including tiny babies, young children, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and the elderly.
McTimoney Chiropractors like to work in co-operation with doctors whenever possible.
Chiropractors have professional indemnity insurance, work to a code of ethics, and are bound by a disciplinary procedure. We are licensed and registered with both the McTimoney Chiropractic Association & General Chiropractic Council.
