Kenworthy Chiropractic is situated conveniently in the heart of Preston city centre. We offer treatments that are safe, gentle and drug free for a number of conditions including neck and shoulder pain; postural issues; arthritis; whiplash; slipped discs; migraine; muscular aches; sports injuries and pregnancy related issues. Doctor of Chiropractic Johanna McCormick will happy to answer any questions you might have prior to commencing any course of treatment.
A full medical history is taken by the Chiropractor to ensure that Chiropractic is a safe and appropriate treatment for the presenting symptoms. Patients will be asked about past and current illnesses, medications, previous accidents or surgery and a description of the current condition.
Once a full history has been recorded you will undergo a series of basic health checks followed by a series of neurological; orthopaedic and range of motion assessments. These tests help to determine the reason for the pain and to identify any positions that trigger the pain.
In most instances you will then receive a treatment and will be advised upon the optimization of your chiropractic care.
First appointments take longer than subsequent appointments and can last anywhere between 40 – 90 minutes.
Subsequent treatments will be shorter, usually lasting between 20-40 minutes dependent upon the condition presented. Your chiropractor will ask you for feedback regarding your treatment and will outline any changes she has observed since your last treatment. Your treatment plan will then be modified accordingly.
Johanna McCormick was born in Coleraine, Northern Ireland not far from the Giant’s Causeway. Johanna was always very sporty at school and won a number of awards for her achievements whilst simultaneously developing a love of disco.
Johanna moved to the UK to study in the 1990s and gained a Bsc (Hons) in Psychology at Uclan. Johanna took her PGCE shortly afterwards and took up a position teaching A-level psychology at St. Mary’s college Blackburn. Johanna greatly enjoyed her time as a teacher and had a special fondness for her naughtier pupils. However, after nine years she felt that she needed to move on and find a career that would allow her to help even more people.
At the time Johanna’s husband was receiving treatment from a McTimoney chiropractor for a bad back and Johanna was impressed with the quality of the treatment and the positive impact it had upon her husband’s life. Soon afterwards Johanna began training as a chiropractor at the McTimoney College in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
Whilst studying full time Johanna also worked for the NHS in various roles and the hard work and commitment of the people she worked with had a profound impact upon her and her attitude towards her patients.
After 5 years of intensive full time study Johanna qualified as a Doctor of Chiropractic and now, after a stint working in Manchester city centre, Johanna is available to take appointments at Kenworthy Chiropractic in Preston city centre. Johanna still loves disco.
