Dr. Claire Chittleborough

Chiropractor

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT

Let me start by saying it's about you, not about what I want for you. Often chiropractors and other health professionals want more for their clients than the clients want for themselves. I am here for you, in whatever capacity that takes. Of course I will give you all the information you need to pursue the best version of yourself, and encourage you to be that, but if that's not what you want, that's ok.

​

On the initial consult I take a full medical history so I can get an idea of your level of health, things that might impact on your recovery, stress levels and general factors that may be contributing to your problem.

​

This is followed by a thorough, full body examination. I look at the whole body because what is causing your symptoms may actually be distant to where you feel it. I like to address problems at their root cause, in order to do this, I need to find where it is. I won't necessarily find it just looking at the site of pain. I look for postural imbalance, tight muscles, restricted joints and movement, what movements hurt, and what reproduces the pain.

​

I only take x-rays if I am looking for a particular condition.

​

I then treat what I find through adjustments that may be manual (that's the 'cracking' that chiropractic is known for) or with the Activator, depending on your preference. I will work on whatever tight muscles I have found and also stretch them.

​

After your treatment you will be given stretches specific to your condition and general well-being advice as needed for you to do at home. I will also discuss what you can expect in the coming days and what direction you would like to take with your care. If you have any questions please call or email me. I am happy to discuss anything you would like to ask.
