What to Expect

On arrival you will be welcomed by your chiropractor. Once you are settled in the clinic room, your chiropractor will take a complete case history. It is from this that your chiropractor will be able to gain a detailed understanding of your problem and start to form a differential diagnosis.

Once the case history has been completed, your chiropractor will then take some time to explain chiropractic care and our approach to helping your problem and answer any questions you may have. We will also explain any possible reactions to treatment and provide aftercare advice.

Once you have given your chiropractor consent to proceed you will be asked to undress down to your underwear in private and offered a gown to wear. An examination will then be undertaken which may include appropriate orthopaedic and neurological tests as well as range of movement testing. At any point during the examination please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

After your examination, your chiropractor will then give you feedback and explain the findings. At this point a treatment plan will be discussed and the probability of any risks associated with your condition and the proposed treatment. With your consent, your chiropractor will then proceed with your treatment which may take about 30 minutes.

At the end of your treatment, aftercare advice will be reiterated and if appropriate exercises may also be advised. You should allow about one and a half hours for your initial appointment.

Testimonial

Julie K says:
I had suffered from neck and shoulder discomfort for nine months as a result of a whiplash injury and although I had other manipulative treatment which helped in the short term, it didn’t get to the root of the problem. After one treatment the effects were apparent: I used to dread a night’s sleep because my neck would be so painful in the morning. After two treatments the pain was gone and I felt like a new woman.
