Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

Is the Dorn Method safe?
The Dorn Method has been considered a safe procedure since it began.
With the participation of the clients' movements and a gentle pressure applied by the therapist the joint is adjusted, without trauma, twisting or cracking. The client is in control at all times.
It is so gentle that the lay person can learn this technique and apply it to friends and family including ones self.
It is an excellent low risk and gentle alternative to other manipulative techniques that involve high velocity thrusts (H.V.T.). Used by chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists, and other manipulative therapists.

How many treatments will I need?
Everyone is different. This can depend on the individual's circumstances. If a chronic condition has developed this may take longer to treat than a pain that has just been there a few days. It is usually recommended to have 3 to 9 treatments for the condition to become stabilized. . We re-assess each time you come for a treatment. Most people feel better after the first treatment, with many clients only needing 2 or 3 treatments. Remember everyone is different with individual needs.

Can anybody receive the Dorn Method?

Why would my legs be a different length?
Incorrect postures and habits of incorrect movements and sitting in daily life all have an accumulative effect on our bodies that cause musculo-skeletal imbalances which eventually lead to aches and pains. E.g. sitting cross legged, promotes a dislocation of the femoral head from the acetabulum (ball and socket joint of the hip).

Can infants and children receive the Dorn Method?
Yes, in fact we strongly recommend treatment, so that dysfunctions can be detected before they cause problems later on. It is important to be educated from an early age how to look after ones back and joints. There is a growing demand for treatment for children as so many have developed back problems already.

Will I have any reactions to treatment?
Reactions to therapy are common but usually subside within a few days. Reactions are not usually a bad sign. It shows the body is healing and getting rid of toxins that have accumulated within the body.
Everyone is different, reactions could be hardly noticeable to some, whilst others may feel more, this sometimes depends on personal circumstances, build up of toxins within the body, your health etc
