How Does it Work? 

McTimoney Chiropractic is a gentle and effective approach that involves using quick and light movements to adjust the body's bones. The main principle behind this technique is that aligning the skeleton can enhance the efficiency of the nervous system, providing relief from pain and discomfort while improving overall mobility.

The McTimoney method takes a comprehensive approach by treating the entire body. During the assessment, chiropractors examine the entire body and perform mobilisations and adjustments as necessary. The adjustments typically involve applying fast, light pressure to the wing of the vertebrae (transverse process), often described by patients as feeling like gentle 'flicks.' Unlike some other techniques, this treatment usually does not produce cavitations or audible 'clicks' or 'pops.' 

Additional Techniques: Incorporating a holistic approach to healing, McTimoney chiropractors are trained in soft tissue massage, release techniques, and acupuncture, which they integrate into the treatment plan when appropriate.

Is it Right for Me? If you're uncertain about whether McTimoney Chiropractic is suitable for your condition, feel free to call and discuss your concerns or seek advice. The chiropractor also offers a complimentary 20-minute consultation where you can meet and discuss your specific needs.

Will it Cause Discomfort? Generally, McTimoney Chiropractic is not a painful treatment. However, if you're already experiencing significant pain, even simple movements on the treatment couch can be uncomfortable. The chiropractor will work with you to adapt the treatment to accommodate any challenges or discomfort you may have.
