Please take a seat in our reception area and take your coat and shoes off.
When your appointment commences, we will run through more questions to get the very best picture of your overall health. Examination follows and we look at your posture, mobility and orthopaedic and neurological function. If necessary, we can order X-rays or MRI scans privately as part of our diagnosis.
The findings are then discussed briefly and a small adjustment may be started only if appropriate.
On the next session, we discuss your health picture and care recommendation so you can make an informed decision about starting Chiropractic care.
You are always able to ask any questions throughout the appointment.
Most of the initial consultation is about getting the best picture of your current health. Some adjustments may be started if appropriate.
Although reducing pain is obviously of great importance, healing takes time. Most pain is due to the state of inflammation (the body’s alarm system) but it’s likely the dysfunction has taken a long time to develop. Chiropractic is not a miracle cure! However, you will be advised of ways to manage and reduce your pain.
It is helpful if you bring your own comfortable (gym style) clothes to the first appointment so you feel at ease during the examination. Gowns and shorts are provided for your modesty.
The Initial visit is 45 minutes in order to complete a full examination and develop a care plan.
A regular adjustment is 15 minutes. Please don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, subsequent adjustments are more effectively administered.
Yes! Chiropractic care is great for newborns and all ages onwards! Specialised gentle Chiropractic and cranial techniques are involved. Babies and children usually love Chiropractic care.
