Ruth
Nadene has treated me throughout my pregnancy, making sure my pelvis and round ligaments were properly aligned. I suffered with hyper-mobility in my left hip during my third trimester, which was debilitating and painful. Her treatments and advice were excellent, and before I was due to give birth to my baby, the problem had resolved.
What is Chiropractic?
The Chiropractic health profession is concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system (bones, joints and muscles), and the effects these disorders have on our nervous system and general health.
At Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic, we use a range of techniques to help reduce pain, improve function and increase mobility, the most common being manual treatments like spinal adjustment and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation.
We may also incorporate Pilates or Shockwave therapy as part of your treatment programme, depending on your condition.
When you visit one of our highly trained Chiropractors, they will take a holistic approach to your treatment by addressing the whole of you, including your physical, mental and emotional health. They may also offer advice on diet, exercise, lifestyle, and rehabilitation programmes that involve exercises to do at home.
We also know that no two patients are the same. So, all of our treatments are tailored to you and your specific body type and needs.
What Can We Treat?
Chiropractic care can help people of all ages, allowing you and your body to reach its fullest potential by staying strong and healthy.
Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, suffer from work-related back pain or are going through changes in your body through pregnancy, Chiropractic treatments will give your body the best opportunity to heal, grow stronger and prevent any long term problems.
Conditions we commonly treat:
- General acute and chronic back pain
- Sciatica
- Mechanical neck pain
- Joint pains from osteoarthritis
- Headaches caused by neck problems
- Prevention of migraine
- Muscle spasms
- Rotator cuff injuries and conditions arising from minor sports injuries
SOT
Chiropractic treatment can take many forms. One such example used at Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic is the Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT).
Providing a holistic approach to chiropractic care, SOT uses a gentle evaluation system to identify specific indicators. These are used alongside other examination findings such as postural, orthopaedic and neurological testing, to determine which SOT category you are currently in. An individualised programme of care can then be provided. Further investigations may be recommended if necessary.
SOT allows your practitioner to gain a large volume of information about the way different areas of your body are communicating, functioning or compensating. We will examine the relationship between your pelvis, spine, cranium, TMJ, extremities and visceral system (your organs), which allows your practitioner to understand and address the root cause of your complaint.
The treatment itself can be integrated with other chiropractic techniques, such as spinal manipulative therapy, or utilised on its own, depending on each individual patients needs and preferences. Low force adjustments and light pressures may be used on your pelvis, spine and cranium. Pelvic blocks are also often used to allow correct alignment to be gently restored.
The overall aim of re-establishing structural stability, integrity and neurological function with SOT can help you to feel great again.
At Your First Session
Before you visit Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic, we will ask you to complete an online registration form telling us about your current condition and general medical health. Some of the questions may not seem important, but they will help us to establish an overall picture of your health and determine whether Chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition.
Physical Examination
On your first visit to the clinic, we will give you a physical examination using a range of orthopaedic and neurological tests, as well as assessments of posture and range of movement to help with diagnosing your condition.
Chiropractor Review of Findings
After your examination, your Chiropractor will talk you through your condition and discuss the best ways we can help you.
We also think it's important you can help yourself, so we will advise you on the most effective way you can deal with any pain straight away.
Finally, depending on your initial physical examination, if it is appropriate and no further investigations are required, you may be able to receive treatment.
What Our Patients Say
Sarah
Nadene is lovely. She’ll treat you and work with you to prevent recurrence. She’s patient and professional and has a real understanding for the complexity of problems and that occasionally a multidisciplinary approach is best. It’s wonderful to have a chiropractor who I can trust to genuinely help, one who genuinely cares and who’s great fun too!
Stef
I highly rate both Nadene and JJ. Nadene has helped me through chronic back pain and I am now back out running and horse riding with no pain. I would not be without Nadene now, friendly, caring and professional service.
Kim
I can only speak extremely positively about the team at Tivoli. I have seen Gabby for a number of sessions and my neck pain and hip flexor issues have noticeably improved. Gabby communicates so clearly and gave me great exercises to do at home. I particularly appreciate her long-term outlook to ensure I’ll be able to manage myself in the long run. Excellent!
Helen
After suffering years of lower back pain following an injury, I am now experiencing more mobility and hardly any pain. The care and treatment I have received from McCoy has been excellent and my only regret is not coming here sooner! I cannot recommend Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic enough.
David
So impressed! I have used various clinics over the years as i have moved around the country but this is definitely my favourite. Nadene takes time and a genuine interest in you and your symptoms, and has a gentle but effective approach to treatment. And helps identify the cause as well as treat the symptoms. But in a realistic way in the context of a busy day to day life.
Katie
I started coming to Tivoli Chiropractic last month after sustaining a lower back injury. Lottie has been great, so helpful and supportive, and I’m already starting to feel much better than I was! Everyone I’ve come into contact with is so lovely and kind - you can tell that they really care about what they do. Couldn’t recommend more!
Josie
I have thoroughly enjoyed attending the pilates classes with Rachel. She is a fabulous teacher and I'm feeling much stronger and more confident.
Eva
I've been seeing McCoy for a few months now, and the difference to my mobility and pain has been astounding. It's like having a new back! Just knowing that there is an action plan for getting me in the best place I can be is a massive weight off my mind.
Anna
I had tried seeking advice and treatment from so many doctors and physios, but no one was able to treat me effectively. Thanks to Nadene I have made a remarkable recovery and am pleased to have my life back without having had to resort to any invasive surgery. I would highly recommend Nadene and Tivoli Chiropractic to anyone with a back problem.
Andy
Tivoli Chiropractic Clinic is fantastic. Best treatment I have ever had. Staff are very friendly. The treatments I have been having are definitely making an improvement to my well being and movement. Lottie is thorough, supportive and I never feel like I’m being rushed. Treatment has been supported by exercises too. All round great experience.
