WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR APPOINTMENT
1
Patient Forms
Before your first appointment, you’ll be asked to complete a New Patient Form. This allows us to gather important information about your health and medical history before beginning the consultation.
Consultation
2
During your consultation, the chiropractor will conduct a comprehensive review of your condition. This includes a detailed history of your symptoms, any relevant lifestyle factors, and your past medical history to help understand the root cause of your issue.
3
Examination
Following the consultation, a thorough physical examination will be carried out. This may include postural assessments, orthopaedic tests, and neurological evaluations to ensure we have a complete understanding of your condition.
Report of Findings
4
Before proceeding with treatment, your chiropractor will explain the examination findings, outlining what seems to be the underlying issue. If chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition, they will discuss the recommended treatment plan. If not, you may be referred to your GP or another healthcare provider. You’ll also receive advice on exercises and lifestyle changes that may benefit your condition.

Treatment
Chiropractic treatment typically involves safe, gentle, and specific adjustments performed by hand to improve joint mobility in the spine or other parts of the body. These adjustments often involve a quick, controlled movement that may result in an audible ‘pop’ or ‘crack,’ which is simply the release of gas bubbles in the joint fluid. Patients often report immediate relief and an enhanced sense of well-being following treatment.
Your chiropractor will always ensure you are informed and comfortable with each step of your care.
