The body is complex. When pain arises from it, an expert diagnosis is necessary to rule in/out the various possible conditions. There is no single cure-all approach.
Our clinicians are up-to-date with current advances in research and will first make an accurate diagnosis to ensure that you are in the right place and that they can give you the best possible care.
In many cases yes. Manipulation of the spine is dose-dependent and its effects are cumulative over time. When manipulation is combined with exercises we can achieve a strong and stable spine that will handle the challenges that you throw at it.
As discussed above, having a pain-free and healthy spine is all about control. Chronic spinal problems have been shown to involve poor balance and coordination of the spinal muscles. So to help you on your path to recovery we’ll need to identify and address any such issue. It takes time to develop spinal stability and control.
Likewise, recovery from most chronic or acute sports injuries requires time. A course of conservative treatments can help speed up recovery and improve function.
Agape Chiropractic Physicians are experienced in building tailored rehabilitation programs. We will also follow up on your progress every step of the way.
It is very unlikely to cause injury through manipulative treatment when performed by a highly trained physician, however there must always be an appropriate reason for any treatment prescription. Spinal manipulation needs to be performed by an expert, and the amount and force used must cautiously match the individual patient’s needs. We closely monitor our patient’s condition and evaluate what is and what isn’t working.
Successful treatment involves addressing the initial complaint, identifying and addressing the faulty patterns of muscular control that catalysed the disorder in the first place and preventing its recurrence. All these are necessary for long lasting relief of pain condition.
Your safety is our priority. This involves more than just the treatment you receive.
Safety relies first on an accurate diagnosis. This is why we will take the time to examine you thoroughly on your first visit and, if needed, refer you for additional investigations, to make sure that your condition is treated the best possible way.
In addition, we collaborate with other medical professionals to ensure that you are appropriately referred if your condition requires another speciality or approach.
Finally, spinal manipulation has proven itself to be remarkably safe when used appropriately. The effectiveness and safety of any treatment is only as good as the knowledge that underlies its use, and it is this dedication to knowledge that you can rely upon at Agape Chiropractic Hong Kong.
