So you went to the Chiro once and it didn't work or you weren't better... 🫣

That's like going to the gym once and complaining you didn't walk out with a 6 pack abs!!

Healing takes time, you cannot force it. Im not booking you a follow up based on my schedule, im booking your follow up based on your tissues Healing time.

Joint Hypermobility in Chiropractic Practice: Spectrum, Recognition, Spinal and Extremity Laxity, and Evidence-Based Care
Joint hypermobility is common and frequently under-recognised in Chiropractic practice. This review defines joint laxity and hypermobility, presents mobility as a clinical spectrum, outlines major conditions associated with symptomatic hypermobility, and summarises evidence-based assessment and management strategies relevant to chiropractors.

Hypermobility exists on a continuum from asymptomatic increased range to disabling instability. Reliable tools include the Beighton score, validated screening questionnaires, and limb-specific assessments. Hypermobility predisposes to recurrent dislocations, patellar instability, chronic ankle sprains, and secondary overload syndromes such as rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Spinal laxity also occurs in connective tissue disorders and degenerative lumbar instability. Evidence supports rehabilitation focused on strengthening, proprioception, pacing, and education.

Spinal manipulation may provide short-term analgesia but repeated thrust techniques in unstable joints may worsen symptoms and disability trajectories over time. Chiropractors play an important role in recognising hypermobility, avoiding inappropriate mobilisation of unstable segments, and delivering evidence-based care centred on functional stability.

Today, I'm 4 weeks post surgery and while I'm feeling loads better- I still need some TLC. I'm at the office, I'm currently logged in online to a great course and I'm treating my shoulder... Laser, Tens and vibration therapy are the order of the day!
