Tula Chiropractic

Tula Chiropractic is for people seeking chiropractic assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal complaints, including postural concerns, neck pain, back pain, headaches, extremity joint pain and longer-standing problems. A new patient consultation is used to take a detailed health and lifestyle history, carry out postural analysis and a neuro-orthopaedic examination, discuss the diagnosis and set out an individual treatment plan. Where appropriate, the first treatment is included in that appointment, with exercise or lifestyle recommendations given before the next visit.

Chiropractic follow-up appointments provide treatment based on the agreed plan of care. Treatment may include manual spinal adjustments, soft tissue modalities, lifestyle and ergonomic advice, and rehabilitative exercises. Patients also receive a reassessment every 12 visits to review progress.

The clinic also provides pregnancy chiropractic care. Prenatal techniques are adapted for the body during pregnancy, and the clinic uses a specialist pregnancy treatment pillow so patients can lie prone on the bench during visits. Dr Laura Knowles is fully qualified in Webster Technique, a pregnancy-specific chiropractic technique involving assessment and correction of imbalances of the sacrum, pelvic joints and associated soft tissues where there is a musculoskeletal cause of intrauterine constraint.

Tula Chiropractic also states that chiropractic techniques and treatments can be adapted for people of different ages and physical needs, including babies from newborns, women during pregnancy, and people experiencing illnesses or physical limitations.
