The gentle nature of the McTimoney Chiropractic Technique makes it especially suitable for people of all ages including young babies, children, pregnant women and the elderly. McTimoney Chiropractors use only their hands to make adjustments to the bones of your body. The key to the success of the adjustments is in the speed, dexterity and accuracy with which they are performed. Before your first treatment Allan Dalziel will fully discuss your general health as well as details of your symptoms, in order to help in assessing and analysing your particular problem. He will then thoroughly examine all the joints in your body and undertake any further clinical assessment that might be necessary to determine that it is safe to treat you. All McTimoney Chiropractors have a finely tuned sense of touch which enables them to identify misalignments of the vertebrae and other bones. Upon finding a problem, Allan Dalziel will use one of a number of light, swift and dexterous techniques to adjust each individual bone that requires it. If Allan Dalziel discovers or suspects a problem which requires medical investigation or an x-ray, he will refer you to your GP. Wherever possible Allan Dalziel will work in co-operation with your GP and a letter is normally sent to your doctor informing them of your treatment.
