Asa new patient, you will be welcomed by one of our receptionists and asked to complete forms and a case history questionnaire, all of which will be treated in confidence.

Thereafter the patient will meet their chiropractor who will discuss the examination procedures, take a detailed case history and complete a thorough orthopaedic, neurological and physical examination. Where required, X-ray films and other laboratory tests will be carried out in order to make a comprehensive diagnosis.

Initially, your visits will be closer together through the "initial" or "intensive" phase of care and somewhat longer intervals during the "correction" or "stabilisation" phase.   Your chiropractor will carry out progress checks at regular intervals to assess the progress being made.

Chiropractic adjustment is not painful, but you may be slightly uncomfortable. Occasionally and in some instances you may feel a little stiff or sore later that day or the day after. This is usually short lived and is due to the body's reaction and early attempts to stabilise itself, this is a good sign.

If you are unsure as to whether chiropractic treatment is appropriate, please feel free to contact the clinic to arrange to speak with one of the chiropractors.
