What To Expect
At the initial consultation you will be questioned and examined about the problem you have. It is important to tell your chiropractor everything about you health including medical history and medication so they can make the correct diagnosis.
The first appointment will take approximately 40 minutes and if diagnosis is straight forward you will be able to be treated immediately.
Occasionally other tests such as x-ray, CT scans or ultra sound may be required to assist in the diagnosis.
Not every one at this clinic will require x-ray as is the case at some clinics In fact only the minority of our patients meets our strict guidelines.
If you are able to have treatment the chiropractor will explain what they have found and how it can be treated. They may use many different techniques to suit the individual patient including, joint manipulation, soft tissue release techniques including dry needling, massage and Graston.
Importantly you will be advised on how to manage your pain yourselves through exercises, stretching and ergonomic advice.
If you have any questions about your care at any time please ask your chiropractor.
