Chiropractic Care
If you are tired of aches, stiffness or feeling like your body is not keeping up with your life, you are not alone. Many people arrive at our office with back or neck pain, headaches, balance issues or low energy and a sense that something just is not right.
At Health-Performance Chiropractic, chiropractic care is about restoring clear communication between your brain and body so you can function at your best. Dr. Michael Hooker and the team care for everyone from newborns to 100-year-olds, always focused on what will help you perform better in everyday life. The atmosphere is friendly, relaxed and professional, so you can feel at ease from your very first visit.
Chiropractic Care, Taken a Step Further
This is not a quick crack and go style of care. Dr. Hooker combines chiropractic with Applied Kinesiology, using precise manual muscle testing as a window into how your nervous system and body systems are working. That helps him find where interference is coming from, whether it is structural, biochemical or emotional, and decide exactly where and how to adjust.
Chiropractic care at Health-Performance Chiropractic may help with back and neck pain or stiffness, headaches and postural strain from work or study, balance and coordination issues, recurrent sprains, strains or sports niggles, and feeling weak, switched off or below your normal performance.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
Your first appointment is usually 45-60 minutes so there is time to listen and investigate. After you complete an intake form, Dr. Hooker takes a detailed history, then assesses posture, balance and basic neurological function, followed by Applied Kinesiology muscle testing to see which muscles and related systems are not working well. Gentle corrections may include drop-piece adjusting, Activator technique, respiratory adjusting and cranial-sacral work.
Ongoing Care and How We Help You Progress
Regular visits are usually 10-15 minutes, and every session includes re-testing so you can see and feel changes. Dr. Hooker explains what he finds each time and adjusts your plan as your body improves. Our practice offers concession fees, accepts Southern Cross insurance and can help with ACC where appropriate.
