About the service
People often associate chiropractic with back and neck pain, but appointments can also address joint, muscle and movement problems throughout the body. The emphasis at Beaches is on careful assessment, an understandable diagnosis and proportionate treatment.
Your first appointment combines a detailed history, physical assessment and treatment where appropriate.
Care may include manual treatment, movement advice and rehabilitation selected around your needs and preferences.
You will not be asked to commit to a compulsory care package. Recommendations are reviewed as you progress.

How we work
Chiropractic care at Beaches starts with a thorough assessment and a clear explanation. The first four stages can happen within your initial appointment when treatment is appropriate. Review and rebuilding follow only when further care is likely to add value.
Included in your initial session
We begin by listening. Your chiropractor will ask about the current problem, your wider health, previous episodes, medication, work, activity and what you want to return to. This gives the examination a clear purpose.
No compulsory care package. Recommendations are based on your assessment, goals and response. Treatment is provided at the first appointment only when it is clinically appropriate and you are happy to proceed.
Connected care
Most people do not need further investigation. Diagnostic ultrasound, MRI or specialist opinion is considered only when it could answer a useful clinical question or change what happens next.
Focused musculoskeletal imaging when a scan can answer a useful clinical question.
Radial and focused shockwave for selected, appropriately assessed conditions.
Assessment and image-guided injection pathways where clinically indicated.
Objective strength and functional testing to establish a baseline or guide progression.
Sometimes the right next step is not further chiropractic treatment. Imaging, procedures and specialist services are recommended only when clinically indicated and may require a separate appointment, referral and fee.
