About Dr Paul Leveson Treatments
What to Expect?
After setting up an examination/treatment table, a thorough history and relevant physical exam is undertaken.
Please have any medical reports, x-rays or reports available.
Once you are assessed, a report of findings and treatment plan are clearly explained and discussed.
If treatment is not appropriate for you, It’s important that you understand what the problem is and what to expect from treatment.
Treatment is then undertaken and I am always available to discuss any questions or doubts by phone.
"My primary concern is that patents have an effective evidenced based treatment tailored to their particular needs and requirements. This is achieved by applying best practice guidelines and sourcing treatment plans on the most recent clinical research."
— Dr Paul Leveson
Treatments in detail.
Manipulation and Mobilization
Restoring proper joint movements and mechanics is often the key to recovery in both sudden and long standing muscle and joint pain. This is the goal of chiropractic manipulation or spinal manipulative therapy, osteopathic technique or physiotherapy mobilisation techniques. Especially effective for low back and neck pain and often the first line of treatment recommended in international protocols, a wide range of techniques is drawn from and adapted to the condition and patient. Gentle adjustment techniques are used for some clinical conditions or due to patient preference.
Manipulation and Mobilization: Tecar, Shockwave, and Cold Laser
Tecar perfectly complements manipulation or can be used as a stand alone therapy in soft tissues complaints like tendon inflammation. Tecar stimulates cellular activity, jump starting and accelerating recovery. Analgesic or pain relief effects can be achieved as well reduction in swelling in the area. Post surgical patients benefit greatly and rehabilitation can begin sooner. Shockwave makes use of coherent ultrasonic sound waves to reduce pain and stimulate regeneration. You can find out more at shockwavetherapy.eu. Cold laser uses coherent light at a specific wavelength to reduce inflammation and aid recovery.
Rehabilitation, Exercises & Taping
Full recovery and prevention of recurrence often depends on strengthening or functional remodeling of affected or adjacent areas. Patients will receive a specific exercise plan for their condition and will be taught proper technique to insure maximum results are achieved. Biomechanical taping, often superior to off the shelf braces is used to support the area during recovery and rehabilitation.
