What happens on your first visit?

During your first visit, lasting 30-60 min, the following will take place:

• Taking case history
• Physical examination
• • Orthopaedic
  • Neurological
  • Chiropractic
• Taking x-rays, if indicated
• Report of Findings
• Specific personalised treatment plan

Taking case history

You first meeting will start with a discussion about you, your health and reason for asking for chiropractic help. You will be asked about your presenting complaint and also about your health history to establish an overall health picture.

Examination

Once the case history is complete, a thorough examination will take place, including orthopaedic, neurological, and chiropractic tests to check your nerves, muscles and joints.

X-rays will then be taken if necessary, and the results seen straight away.

Report of findings

Once we have diagnosed the problem we will explain what is wrong with you and discuss the choices you have, which may include referring you to another specialist. If chiropractic can help, we will explain your treatment options simply and clearly and give you all the information you need to decide what is best for you.

Treatment Options:

Pain relief

Many of our patients come to us with some type of pain and their goal is to be as pain free as possible in the shortest time possible. With this intensive care, treatment continues until you are symptom free. Should your symptoms return you simply call us and we start intensive care again.

Maintenance Care

Having achieved good results with the intensive care most of our patients want to ensure that any recurrences are kept to a minimum and so they enjoy periodic checkups to ensure that their nerves, muscles and joints are working in harmony. This is like your periodic dental check up.

Wellness Care

This is for those people who want to perform at their very best. This includes lifestyle management, decreasing stress levels, nutritional assessment and exercise programmes. There are more frequent checkups with wellness care to enable you to be your best. Patients that chose this type of care are looking to maintain their body now so that they can function at their very best for as long as possible.
