Chiropractic
What to expect?
Your first visit
You will start with a compulsory initial consultation. Here we take the time for a physical and medical history and to listen to what your problems are and discuss your goals for the future . (In short what do you need to get out of this)
I will then undertake a thorough examination which will include essential safety checks, to determine the cause of the issues you are experiencing
The results of the examination will help us to establish the best course of action to help you to achieve your goals.
Unless we have decided on a referral or the need for further investigation you will also receive your first treatment. (see chiropractic treatment)
