Regular Chiropractic Visit
Each chiropractic visit will involve an assessment by the chiropractor as to the degree of brain and nervous system disorganisation present that day.
With this information the chiropractor will correct (adjust) and stimulate the brain and nervous system, with the goal of removing the layers of disorganisation and re-establishing healthy brain patterns and nervous system organisation.[1]
This is an ongoing process as there is likely to be several "layers" of nervous system disorganisation.
Each visit is booked as a 20-minute appointment, and is aimed to be a relaxing and restful experience.
All techniques used at Vitae Health are aimed at being very gentle in their application while being very powerful at their ability to engage the brain, and therefore stimulate and organise the brain and nervous system.
The chiropractor may find many "layers" of brain and nervous system disorganisation that are able to be adjusted (corrected) on some visits, and at times this may mean that appointments may take up to 25 minutes.
As you progress, there may be times that there is not a lot of adjusting that the chiropractor needs to do on a particular visit.[2] On these occasions the appointment may be shorter.
Communication is a vital part of you being able to reach your goals. If you have something that you feel you need to share with the chiropractor prior to your adjustment visit, please do so.
It is recommended to go for a walk for at least 10 minutes after an adjustment and drink plenty of water, to allow your brain and nervous system to get the most out of the adjustments.

For highly contagious conditions however, such as head lice and conjunctivitis we may suggest you remain at home.
