Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by a qualified and registered chiropractor, although, like any healthcare intervention, it is not completely without risk.At Motion Wellness, we begin by taking the time to understand your health history, symptoms, and individual needs, followed by an appropriate physical examination. Further investigation, including imaging, is only recommended when clinically indicated.Before treatment, we will explain your findings, discuss the available options, and make sure you are comfortable with the proposed approach.

Neck adjustment is generally considered a low-risk treatment, although no healthcare intervention is completely risk-free. Serious vascular events such as cervical artery dissection and stroke appear to be rare, and current research has not established that neck adjustment causes these events.At Motion Wellness, neck adjustment is only one treatment option. We consider your symptoms, health history, relevant risk factors and examination findings to determine whether it is appropriate for you. If there are concerns about vascular, neurological or other serious conditions, further medical assessment may be recommended.

Your session will be tailored to your individual needs, symptoms, and goals. Depending on where you are in your care, your chiropractor may review your progress, assess your movement and function, explain relevant findings, and provide appropriate treatment or management.Care may include chiropractic adjustments, other hands-on techniques, exercise, education, and self-management strategies, depending on what is clinically appropriate for you.

For most women with an uncomplicated pregnancy, chiropractic care can be adapted to provide comfortable, individualised care throughout pregnancy.At Motion Wellness Chiropractic, treatment is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms, comfort, and individual needs. Techniques and positioning are modified as your pregnancy progresses, with supportive cushions used when appropriate to avoid unnecessary pressure on the abdomen and keep you comfortable during treatment.

There is no set number of sessions that is right for everyone. How much care you may need depends on your condition, symptoms, goals, response to treatment, and other individual factors.Following your initial assessment, we will discuss an individualised management plan with you and regularly review your progress. Our aim is to provide the care that is appropriate for you, rather than following a predetermined or one-size-fits-all treatment schedule.
