During your initial visit, your chiropractor will conduct a thorough evaluation, which may include reviewing your medical history, discussing your symptoms, and performing physical examinations. Based on this assessment, your chiropractor will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
During your first consultation, we will take a detailed history of your current symptoms and past medical background. This helps us understand your lifestyle and identify any previous injuries that might be contributing to the issue. Following this, a thorough physical examination, including neurological and orthopaedic tests, will be conducted to determine the root cause of your symptoms.
Based on our findings, we will provide a diagnosis and develop a personalised treatment plan. We’ll discuss our findings with you, answer any questions, and explain the techniques we’ll use, along with an estimate of the treatment plan's duration. If we suspect a more serious health concern, your chiropractor will refer you to your GP for further investigation.
