About Chiropractic techniques

Chiropractic care involves various techniques, but our clinic provides care using internationally standardized chiropractic techniques and procedures. Our clinic provides chiropractic care that is commonly available in the countries where chiropractic is legislated.

Chiropractic Procedure

At your initial visit, it takes about 45 minutes for performing examinations (postural exam, neurological exam, orthopedic exam, physical exam etc.) and chiropractic treatment. Along with the treatment home exercises to improve your body function are advised. If necessary we ask you to take X-ray or MRI at your local hospital or clinic before starting chiropractic treatment. From the second visit it tales about 20 minutes.   People living in a big city like Tokyo are under stress and suffer from various musculoskeletal problems due to office work and manual work. Chiropractic treatment helps you achieve optimum health by improving your natural healing ability. If you need to rest your body after chiropractic care, you can use a relaxation chair in our clinic.
