How our practice works

The goal of the initial assessment is to understand how your spine moves and how your body adapts to everyday stresses — physical, chemical and emotional — and to check for vertebral subluxations.

You first complete a short intake form with your name, contact details and health history. Dimitri then performs a postural analysis and functional tests that help him understand how your spine moves and is organised. After that you move to the adjustment room, where he examines your spine in detail to locate subluxations. When one appears, you may feel a subtle change in pressure. At the end he explains whether he found subluxations and whether chiropractic care is suitable for you.

Between your first and second visit, Dimitri analyses the test results and builds a personalised care plan.

You will receive a clear report explaining what we found, the care plan we propose, and what you can do at home to look after your posture, ergonomics and movement.

Based on the examination findings, we design a sequence of adjustments in three phases:

Roughly once a month we run a dedicated review to see how your care is progressing, with a particular focus on postural change and functional milestones. These reviews let us fine-tune the plan in real time.

Why the first visit matters

The main purpose of the first appointment is to explain how chiropractic care works and what you can expect from us. Your spine is unique, which is why every assessment and every plan is too.

That is why it matters that you understand how your body works: when you understand how chiropractic care works, you can take an active part in your own plan. By the end of the first visit you will have everything you need to decide whether Tantae is the right place for you.
