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, where 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. You are always able to ask any questions throughout the appointment.
We will give a summary of findings and a small adjustment may be started if appropriate. You will then be booked in for your first follow up session.
At the first follow up session, your chiropractor will first recap the results of your assessment as well as run through the care programme they have recommended to give you the best results.
This first follow up session is charged at the follow up session price.
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.
Reach out to me with any queries you may have regards to assessment and treatment.
