Protective care is important to protect the improvements we have already made to your spine and nervous system. The constant physical, chemical and emotional stress of our modern lifestyle has a gradual degenerative effect on your overall health and wellbeing. Protective care is about addressing the effects of ongoing work, hobbies and lifestyle stresses.
Range of motion testing:
Range of motion measures the mobility of a specific joint or body part. Good flexibility and range of motion are important for general health, injury prevention and sports performance. A decreased range of motion can be caused by joint and neurological problems such as poor neuro-muscular activation (brain-body connection), degenerative arthritis, injury, joint misalignments and overall poor posture.
A goniometer is an instrument that measures angles, we use this to accurately measure the range of motion in your body determining the location and severity of issues you may be having.
Reflex testing:
Reflex testing (like a knee-jerk reflex) incorporates an assessment of the function and interplay of both sensory and motor neurological pathways. It is simple yet informative and can give important insights into the integrity of the nervous system and its connection with muscles in the body at many different levels.
Muscle Testing (also known as Myotome testing):
Myotome testing is an essential part of a thorough neurological examination. Muscle strength in a particular area of the body (called a myotome) may help identify the level a nerve root is compromised. This gives us information about the level ofthe spine where a problem may be present. During myotome testing, weare looking for muscle weakness of a particular group of muscles. Results may indicate problems with the spinal cord, nerve root, or intervertebral disc herniation pressing on the spinal nerve roots.
Digital Posture Assessment:
We use a wall mounted grid and a tripod camera to quickly and objectively assess your posture for any structural shifts to your neck, spine and pelvis. This is particularly useful where x-ray analysis is not clinically indicated.
Orthopaedic Testing:
There are many physical tests, or 'special tests', that are used by Chiropractors, and in orthopaedics in general, during a physical examination. These tests are used to assessspecific musculoskeletal problems.
