What to expect from Total Health Chiropractic

At Total Health Chiropractic Keilor Downs, our Chiropractors use a unique process to understand the root cause of, and to help with pain. 

Initial Consultation

During your initial appointment, your Chiropractor will go through your history and will conduct a assessment, comprising of –

• Computerised posture scanning
  Our computerised posture scanning program takes two pictures of the body –  one from the front and one from the side. These pictures are then digitally analyzed by the program and also by our Chiropractors. These pictures are then utilised to help understand the pain you are experiencing and also used to help create a personalised treatment plan.
• Motion testing
  In this part of the assessment, we aim to take your spinal and extremities joints through their range of motion to examine for any restrictions in those joints. This can be done passively by the Chiropractor or actively by you, the patient.
• Balance testing
  Balance testing not  only shows us how balanced the body is and how good your body is at regulating your balance, it also tells us about other areas of your body, including your –
  – Cranial nerves 
  – Nerve impingements
  – Kinetic chain in the lower body
  – And more
• Orthopaedic and neurological tests
  During the orthopedic and neurological assessment, your Chiropractor will test –
  – Muscle strength and function
  – Pain levels
  – Nerve function
  – Joint function and stability
  
• Leg length assessment
  Your Chiropractor will engage in a handful of tests that help them assess for any discrepancies in your leg length. This will allow the Chiropractor to narrow down reasons for poor posture and alignment to regions such as the hips, lower leg, ankle or feet.

Spinal x-rays

• Where appropriate, your Keilor Chiropractor will refer you for spinal x-rays to gain a full understanding of your spinal alignment and any underlying conditions that we may not be aware of.
