Initial Consultation & FAQs

At your initial consultation, you will be greeted by a member of our reception team who will confirm your name and contact details before you see one of the chiropractors. They will then take a comprehensive medical history, conduct a thorough examination and, once a diagnosis is made, recommend the most effective treatment.

Will I receive treatment on my first visit?

Once a diagnosis has been made and you would like to proceed with the treatment recommended, then appropriate treatment will be given on your first visit.

Sometimes further investigations such as MRI scans need to be carried out for a diagnosis to be confirmed or made. In these cases the time frame for treatment will be recommended to you by your chiropractor.

What should I wear?

We advise you to simply wear loose-fitting clothes. Changing rooms and gowns are provided when necessary, so if required, please request one from a member of our reception team on your arrival.

At the initial consultation a thorough case history will be taken; followed by an explanation of the relevant anatomy; a thorough orthopaedic, neurological and highly specialised chiropractic examination; an explanation of the findings and the best way to alleviate the problem; and then, when appropriate, expert treatment.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

If you are claiming through your insurance you need to make us aware when booking your appointment and bring your documentation including membership and reference numbers with you to your appointment so that this can be authorised.

If you have any medical documentation such as test results that are relevant to your symptoms then please bring these along if they are available.
