Alexis RYAN
Chiropractor in Annecy

Treatment phases

Your first visit

This 1st visit lasts about 45 minutes. 

The patient remains clothed, unless otherwise indicated.

A questionnaire to fill in covers the reason for the appointment and its characteristics.

Your medical history, your environment and the nature of your health are taken into account during the interview.

Next, the chiropractor performs a postural assessment, a gait analysis and a general mobility analysis.

Targeted tests are performed to determine which tissues are affected and to what extent.

Finally, orthopedic and neurological tests will guide the diagnosis.

 

If your condition requires it, you may be referred to other health professionals for co-management or other examinations if deemed appropriate:

Reminder Article N°2 du décret2011-32 du 7 Janvier 2011 : Les praticiens justifiant d'un titre de chiropracteur sont tenus, s'ils n'ont pas eux-mêmes la qualité de médecin, d'orienter le patient vers un médecin lorsque les symptômes nécessitent un diagnostic ou un traitement médical, lorsqu'il est constaté une persistance ou une aggravation de ces symptômes ou que les troubles présentés excèdent leur champ de compétences.

Natural products, exercises, lifestyle changes and reading material can also be recommended. 

Once the problem and its origins have been clearly identified, an initial treatment is put in place to begin the therapeutic process towards healing.

The maneuvers will of course be explained to you as you go along, with precise muscle and/or joint manipulation, complementary approaches, advice and exercises as required.

What benefits can I expect from my consultation?

Using precise, gentle and effective hand movements, the chiropractor restores correct joint mobility and nerve function.

Chiropractic adjustment has a direct impact on brain/muscle/joint/organ coordination:

- optimal joint function

- Muscle contraction and relaxation

- posture, digestion and breathing

- The pain

Chiropractic adjustments help the body heal itself.

"Chiropractors don't manipulate, (...) they adjust".

Treatment phases

As a general rule, treatment takes place in 3 phases:

  • Intensive phase: 1 to 3 visits spaced 3 days to 1 week apart.
  • Stabilization phase: 2 to 4 visits, 2 to 4 weeks apart
  • Maintenance and prevention phase: 2 to 4 visits per year.

Fees and means of payment

Payment methods accepted: credit card, cash, cheque.
