At Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Health Centre, we recognize that pain is more than just a discomfort—it’s your body’s way of signaling that something isn’t right. However, the source of your pain isn’t always where you feel it. Pain is a symptom, not the root cause. That’s why our consultation process is carefully crafted to dig deeper, identifying the underlying issues through a thorough and comprehensive approach. Since opening our doors in 2012, our clinics in Westlands, Ridgeways, and Karen, Nairobi, have been committed to delivering expert chiropractic and physiotherapy care, helping patients find lasting relief and reclaim their health.

The Importance of Proper Diagnosis

Treating pain without understanding its origin may offer temporary relief, but it often leaves the real problem unresolved, leading to recurring discomfort or worsening conditions. At our clinic, we go beyond surface-level symptoms to uncover the root cause of your pain. Our detailed consultation process ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs, setting the foundation for effective, long-term recovery and improved well-being.

What Happens During Your Consultation

Our consultation is a multi-step process that blends advanced technology with hands-on expertise to provide a complete assessment of your health. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

1. History Taking

Your consultation begins with a conversation. Our practitioners take the time to listen and gather detailed information about your medical history, lifestyle, and current symptoms. We’ll ask about past injuries, surgeries, chronic conditions, and anything else that might be relevant. This step is essential for identifying factors that could be contributing to your pain or discomfort.

2. BMI Measurement

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple yet valuable measure of your weight relative to your height. By calculating your BMI, we gain insight into your overall health and determine whether weight-related issues might be placing extra stress on your spine, joints, or muscles—potentially contributing to your symptoms.

3. Blood Pressure Check

Monitoring your blood pressure is a quick but critical part of the process. This standard health check helps us detect any underlying cardiovascular concerns, such as hypertension, which could influence your musculoskeletal health or overall wellness. It’s one more way we ensure a holistic evaluation.

4. Machine Spine Scan

A standout feature of our consultation is the machine spine scan. This non-invasive technology analyzes muscle and nerve tension along your spine, revealing areas of stress, misalignment, or dysfunction that might not be obvious otherwise. By providing a clear picture of your spinal health, this scan plays a key role in pinpointing the root cause of your pain.

5. Active Tests for Range of Motion and Flexibility

Next, you’ll perform a series of guided movements to assess your joints’ mobility and muscle flexibility. These active tests help us identify limitations, imbalances, or pain points that signal deeper issues. Understanding how your body moves allows us to tailor your care to address specific restrictions or weaknesses.

6. Physical Examination and Palpation

Our practitioners then conduct a hands-on assessment, using palpation to feel for abnormalities in your muscles, joints, and tissues. This tactile examination helps us detect inflammation, tenderness, or misalignments that could be contributing to your discomfort, complementing the findings from other tests.

7. Report Writing and Referral

Once all the data is collected, we compile a detailed report summarizing the findings from your consultation. Based on this, we recommend the best path forward—whether it’s chiropractic care, physiotherapy, or another form of treatment. Our focus is on ensuring you receive the right care for your specific condition.
