A Patient-Centred Approach
Andrea believes that effective healthcare should involve working closely with the patient rather than simply treating a symptom.
Her approach is centred around understanding the individual, identifying factors that may be contributing to their problem and helping them develop realistic strategies for improving their movement, function and long-term health.
Where appropriate, Andrea also works collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to provide joined-up care.
“Chiropractic has had an unimaginable impact on my everyday life. I know from personal experience and from that of thousands of patients the power of chiropractic care and how it can change people’s lives. Chiropractic is not just a profession; it is who I am.”
