Combining Chiropractic Care and Rehabilitation
More than temporary symptom relief
Many forms of healthcare focus primarily on reducing pain and symptoms. While this can be an important part of recovery, long-term improvement often requires a broader approach.
At Exactus Rehab and Chiropractic, we use a structured four-step process during your initial visits to better understand your symptoms, movement and functional limitations. This helps us create a treatment plan that reduces pain and supports long-term recovery.
Our Four-Step Process:
- A detailed history of your presenting complaint
- Orthopaedic examination to determine the source of pain or injury
- Movement screens to identify movement limitations and compensation
- Functional testing to assess strength, stability and physical capacity
Understanding how your body moves
Pain is not always driven solely by the area where symptoms are felt. Often, it is influenced by how the body moves and functions as a system.
At Exactus Rehab and Chiropractic, we use a whole-body approach to identify movement limitations or reduced physical capacity that may be contributing to your pain or injury.
This includes assessing:
- Joint mobility above and below the affected area
- Movement patterns involving the region of symptoms
- Strength, control and load capacity of surrounding structures
This approach helps inform a more complete understanding of function, allowing treatment and rehabilitation to be tailored to each individual.
Combining hands-on treatment with rehabilitation
Although we place strong emphasis on identifying movement limitations, strength deficits and functional factors that contribute to pain and injury, hands-on chiropractic care remains an important part of our approach.
Manual therapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility and create an opportunity for more effective rehabilitation. This improved window of movement allows exercise-based treatment to be applied more efficiently and with better tolerance.
By combining hands-on treatment with rehabilitation, we aim to provide a comprehensive, integrated approach to care.
Exactus Rehab and Chiropractic offers a complete approach to the assessment and management of pain and injury.
Longer appointment times for more comprehensive chiropractic care
Thorough assessment and rehabilitation take time.
At Exactus Rehab and Chiropractic, longer initial consultations help us better understand your pain or injury, movement patterns and function. This enables a more individualised, structured treatment approach from the start.
Subsequent consultations are also designed to allow time for both hands-on treatment and exercise-based rehabilitation.
Appointments may include:
- Hands-on chiropractic care
- Soft-tissue therapy
- Rehabilitation exercises
- Strength and mobility work
This integrated approach enables treatment and rehabilitation to work together to support long-term recovery and improved function.
