The Reliable Spine Approach to Spine Care
Find out more about the phases of care that we offer to get you standing up straight
Initial Intensive Stage (Inflammatory phase)
Ultrasound guided dry needling, gentle mobilisation techniques using the Raphael 707 automatic drop function. Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation will be used towards the end of the inflammatory phase to breakdown any scar tissue adhesions and allow normal tissue healing. Aim: reduce inflammation, improved movement and reduce pain. This phase normally lasts 2 – 4 weeks, with 2 – 3 sessions per week, depending on severity and duration of symptoms. In more severe and chronic cases this phase may last up to 6 – 12 weeks.
Corrective stage
This is when symptoms have subsided and the aim of this treatment is to restore normal function of the spine promoting normal tissue healing, improving sensorimotor integration, proprioceptive feedback ensuring long term solution. We will use the Raphael 707 dynamic 3-D spinal decompression technique, chiropractic adjustments in this phase, and functional and kinetic treatment with rehab. Where necessary a scoliosis bracket will be used for postural correction or to improve spine balance. This phase usually last 6 – 8 weeks, with 1 – 2 sessions per week. This depends on how long the patient can hold/maintains the correction before the spine regresses/stiffen up again. Your ability to adapt will dictate appropriate recommendations and your progress.
Stabilisation stage
The aim of this treatment approach is to retrain spine stabilisers by means of specific exercise customed to each patient’s unique needs. During this phase, the patient will be expected/or advised to return to their favourite sporting activities. Chiropractic adjustments, 3-D spinal decompression will also be incorporated in this phase of care. This is usually done fortnightly and lasts up to 12 weeks.
Maintenance stage
As the spine is under constant load, the discs are subjected to continued compression and maybe prone to damage. Our maintenance phase is designed to regularly monitor spine function, decompress the discs, and ensure that the correction maintained and not lost. This is a form of preventative care. Wouldn’t it be better to prevent a problem than to address one? This is when you become a practice member and are eligible for member benefits detailed elsewhere. The maintenance phase is a 4 – 6 weekly regular check-ups and review.
