About Chiropractic

At Back in Balance™ Chiropractic Clinic we practice chiropractic using the McTimoney technique. Our approach is a whole body approach, assessing the full skeletal system at each visit. McTimoney method of chiropractic is a well established, gentle, precise approach to chiropractic care. It is suitable for everyone, from young to old, including toddlers and pregnant women.

We use our hands to perform gentle, safe, specific adjustments to individual joints with the intention of restoring normal function to the spine, muscles and nervous system.

What should you expect on your first visit?

The first visit consists of a thorough 60 minute consultation and treatment. This involves your Chiropractor taking a detailed medical history followed by a physical examination to include specific orthopaedic and neurological tests to tailor your treatment appropriately to your presenting condition.

Your treatment plan will then be discussed with you and an appointment will be scheduled to suit your availability.

Subsequent visits will take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?

On initial examination, it is helpful to bring any scans related to your problem, a list of your current medications and if you have been referred from your GP / Consultant, your referral letter.

Comfortable clothing is advised as you may be asked to remove items of clothing to fully assess your problem.

Do I need to be referred by my GP or Consultant? 


No referral is necessary to see a Chiropractor. However if you have been referred from your GP / Consultant please bring your referral letter.

Can chiropractic help with preventative care?

Yes, chiropractic is the perfect therapy to improve your body’s general wellbeing and to help prevent it from injury in day-to-day activities and later in life.

Our bodies have an amazing ability to recover and heal. At any age chiropractic can help this health potential to be supported and optimised to improve the quality of life.
