Dr Baillie will ascertain the cause of an injury, rather than just treating the injury itself. She will carry out a full examination and ask you questions about your sporting life, posture, medical history and lifestyle, to discover the cause of your injury or poor performance and make a diagnosis.
Then your treatment will begin, often with gentle, specific adjustments (the Chiropractic word for manipulation) done by hand, to free stiff joints and remove spinal nerve irritation. Dr Baillie may incorporate other techniques such as soft tissue massage and give you advice on prevention. You may also be given exercises to strengthen the injured area, improve your flexibility and prevent future flare-ups.
