WHAT TO EXPECT

                                                  WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON THE FIRST VISIT?

During the initial appointment, your chiropractor will take down a complete medical history, look at the postural deviations in the body and complete some neuro-orthopedic tests to assess the bio mechanical integrity of your spine and limbs. 

​

Once the chiropractor has explained the dysfunction and various treatment options available there is an opportunity for questions followed by chiropractic care. Follow-up visits are shorter and more time is spent discussing the patients progress, treatment outcomes and what the patient can do to speed up their own recovery process. 

​

It is of critical importance that the patient fully understands what the chiropractor is hoping to achieve in the body and what role they play. Effective care is both passive (the chiropractor) and active (the patient). Studies have indicated that where patients become involved in their health, recovery has better outcomes. 

​

In most cases you will be offered treatment straight away except where your chiropractor feels it may be beneficial to have further investigations such as x-rays or ultrasound scans prior to treatment.

​

FOLLOW -UP VISITS

Visits  are shorter and more treatment-based. Discussion on what the patient can do to speed up their recovery and which exercises might be beneficial are held.
