At Aspire Chiropractic Hamilton, we believe in a collaborative approach to healthcare. While we specialise in chiropractic care, we often work alongside other health professionals, including physiotherapists, to ensure our patients receive the most comprehensive and effective treatment possible.
Understanding the Relationship
Physiotherapy and chiropractic care share a common goal: improving your body’s function and relieving pain. However, they approach this goal from different angles:
- Physiotherapists focus on restoring movement and function through exercises, manual therapy, and education.
- Chiropractors, like Dr Mari and Dr Kane, specialise in diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, with a focus on spinal adjustments and manipulation.
When used together, these approaches can complement each other beautifully, offering patients a more holistic path to recovery and wellness.
The Power of ACC Funding
In New Zealand, we’re fortunate to have the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) scheme. This allows patients to receive funded treatment from multiple practitioners for accident-related injuries. This means you can benefit from both physiotherapy and chiropractic care without the financial burden, ensuring you get the comprehensive care you need for optimal recovery.
Breaking Through Plateaus
It’s not uncommon for patients to reach a plateau in their physiotherapy progress. This is where chiropractic care can make a significant difference. When you’ve stopped seeing improvements with physiotherapy alone, it might be time to consider adding chiropractic treatments to your recovery plan.
Dr Mari and Dr Kane specialise in addressing underlying structural issues that may be hindering your progress. By focusing on spinal misalignments or joint dysfunction, chiropractic adjustments can:
- Restore proper function to your musculoskeletal system
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve joint mobility
- Enhance nervous system function
These improvements can help break through plateaus, allowing physiotherapy to become more effective in promoting further recovery and movement improvement.
A Collaborative Approach
At Aspire Chiropractic Hamilton, we’re committed to working collaboratively with your physiotherapist. We believe that open communication between health professionals leads to better outcomes for our patients. By combining the strengths of both disciplines, we can create a more comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
If you’re currently undergoing physiotherapy and feel you’ve hit a plateau, or if you’re interested in exploring how chiropractic care can complement your current treatment, we’re here to help. Dr Mari and Dr Kane can assess your condition and work with your physiotherapist to develop an integrated approach to your care.
Remember, your health journey is unique, and sometimes it takes a team to achieve the best results. Don’t hesitate to reach out and discover how we can support your path to optimal health and wellness.
