your experience

At Light Chiropractic and Wellness we use light contacts and gentle structural adjustments to release stored tension in the body. Regular adjustments allow the stored tension pattern to be released into the body and to be integrated. The body can then choose how to use the released energy. Sometimes it is used to enhance the nurturing systems of the body and a feeling of relaxation and well-being results. Sometimes it is used to heal and make physical changes in the body. Sometimes it is used to release emotions and toxins or to open your mind to new ideas, insights and thoughts. Whatever the gift of the experience, it can be released and allowed to manifest via the adjustment.

In our adjusting room a few people are adjusted at the same time (all fully clothed). This means that Shalom can spend as long with each person as they need during their adjustment. The other reason is that it was found that the healing effect of the visit is enhanced by the sense of community and the presence of others being adjusted at the same time. It is like the amplification of intention that occurs when people join together as a group to meditate or pray. This style of chiropractic also allows individuals to take the time that the body needs to integrate the adjustment, without feeling rushed.

Initial Consultation
Initial Chiropractic consultations are 45 minutes. They include a full case history and a physical examination. You may or may not be adjusted on your first visit depending on your individual case. Most clients will be referred for full spinal and pelvis x-rays (except children and pregnant women). The x-rays can be bulk billed on Medicare. Shalom does not manually adjust on the first visit, because it is best practice to check x-rays first.

Report of Findings Visit
Your report of findings visit will be 30 minutes. In the report of findings Shalom will explain your x-rays to you and his findings from your physical examination. He will then make recommendations for an adjustment schedule. Please talk to him if you have any questions or concerns about the schedule he recommends.

Adjustments
Adjustments can last from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the tension patterns that your body is presenting on the day. If you have limited time, please tell Shalom or Helene when you arrive for your adjustment.
