Frequently asked questions about Bespoke Chiropractic!
How is a holistic Chiropractor different to a normal Chiropractor?
As holistic Chiropractors, we focus not only on the spine, but on all aspects of health. Whilst our primary focus is on the nervous system and removing interference from it, we want to know what caused that interference to start with and how we can limit that impact in the future. It may be a physical things such as poor posture or a physical trauma such as a fall, car accident or a sporting injury. It may be an emotional trauma, such as a death, chronic stress (aka going to a job you dislike every day). These still have an effect on us physiologically. We use a technique called Neuro Emotional Technique which helps to remove the impact that these stressors may be having on your physiology (aka your body). We also take into account nutritional and chemical aspects, such as diet, water and supplements.
We provide a bespoke service, and tailor your treatment to you. As you are different to every client we have seen before you, and every client we will see after you.
What do people come and see you for, other than back pain?
We see so many people for so many different things! We see and help people manage their back pain, headaches, neck pain, leg pain, knee pain (or any other joint pain!). We work with people to help them deal with their stress and emotions and the physical impact it has on their body. We help people from newborns with a traumatic birth, to the weekend warrior who did too much in the garden. To the elderly recovering from a fall, or the weekend athlete who thought they were still a teenager when taking to the field. We see office workers with poor posture and a sedentary lifestyle, to endurance athletes who want their bodies to be at their peak.
What training do your Chiropractors have?
All our Chiropractors have a 5 year University double degree from Murdoch University.
Do you treat children?
Absolutely! We love to see kids of all ages! Aimee has completed extra paediatric training, and as a mum of three understands kids! Micha also has 2 young children and understands what it means to have a healthy and happy child! We find it an absolute privledge when people trust us with their children.
Got any questions about children and Chiropractic? Please ask us!
Do I get treatment on the first visit?
Absolutely! As long as we don’t find any reason not to, during the time we take to do a history and physical examination. We understand that you are coming to see us because you aren’t feeling as good as you could, or are in pain. So we want to get your treatment started as soon as possible for you!
How long will it take for me to feel better?
There is no one answer to this question. It depends on how long you have had the problem for, how severe it is, how well you do your at home exercises, what your base level of health it….so many factors! Be assured though, that we will discuss this with you, so we are all on the same page as to what results you want, and how long it may take.
Do you have a cancellation policy?
Yes we do! We also do our best to run on time, so if you are running more than a few minutes late for your appointment, whilst we will do our best to accommodate you, this is not always possible due to other appointments. If you are late and we can not see you, this will be charged as a missed appointment. We do not like to do this, but missed appointment impact our staff, our practitioners and also your health outcomes! Our policy is :
For cancellations we require a MINIMUM of 24 hours notice or a fee of 50% of the appointment cost is payable by the patient
For missed or 'no show' appointments on the day a fee of 100% of the appointment cost is payable by the patient
We do no send out reminders for appointments, but you can click the link in your booking confirmation email so it goes to your calendar and you can set a reminder.
