ABOUT McTIMONEY

McTimoney Chiropractors use only their hands to make adjustments to the bones of your body. The key to the success of the adjustments is in the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed.

The gentle nature of the McTimoney method makes it especially suitable for people of all ages, including young babies, pregnant women and the elderly.

At the first treatment a full case history regarding your health background, gives the McTimoney Chiropractor an idea as to what may be causing or contributing to your symptoms. This will help her to assess and analyse your particular problem, and tailor her advice for you.

The McTimoney Chiropractor will then thoroughly examine all the joints in your body, literally from head to toe, using only their hands, and make the appropriate adjustments where necessary, a truly “whole body treatment”. That is the Joy of McTimoney.

McTimoney Chiropractors have a very finely tuned sense of touch, developed during their training, which enables them to feel for misalignments of the vertebrae and bones. Upon feeling a misalignment (or subluxation, the term that Chiropractors use) 

she will use one of a number of light, swift and dexterous techniques, unique to the McTimoney method, to adjust the bone

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL YOU NEED?

The number of sessions needed varies considerably depending on :

Your age; you generally heal more slowly as you get older.

The nature of the problem: a simple backache will often clear more quickly than a sciatic problem.

How long you have had the problem: generally yesterday’s injury will resolve faster than one of 20 years standing.

Most patients need between two and ten sessions, initially at weekly intervals, then gradually more widely spaced out, by which time a noticeable change should have occurred, though treatment can continue for longer.

McTimoney Chiropractic is also a preventative therapy and when used in this way greatly improves bodily health and well-being, avoiding long spells of discomfort. Regular check ups are recommended to ensure that your body maintains a healthy balance in all aspects of its daily functioning.

Your Chiropractor will, wherever possible, work in cooperation with your GP and a letter is normally sent to them informing them of your treatment. If your Chiropractor discovers or suspects a problem that requires medical investigation, they will in turn refer you to your GP.
