Next, your chiropractor, Sophie, will welcome you and ensure you are comfortable before beginning. This initial visit is designed for your chiropractor to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations and goals. After taking a full medical history your complaint is examined carefully to evaluate the exact nature and extent of the problem. This will include a range of tests to evaluate your posture, range of motion and nerve function, plus other tests specific to your complaint. If indicated, you may be referred to other healthcare providers for further tests, such as X-ray, MRI or blood tests.

Second Visit :-  [Appointment length: 40 minutes]
After your chiropractor has reviewed your case, a full report of findings will be provided. We will explain to you in easy terms what your problem is and begin to get you on to the road to recovery. We will give you a prognosis on how long your condition should take to get better and how much treatment we recommend. This will depend on many factors including the severity of the problem and how long you have had it. The prognosis is greatly affected by adherence to the suggested treatment plan, how closely you follow our advice on lifestyle and postural changes and how committed you are to doing any prescribed exercises for long term improvement. After all your questions have been answered and you are happy, treatment can begin.

Treatment
Treatment may include spinal manipulation/adjustments, mobilisation, soft tissue massage, exercises (including core stability) and/or other techniques. Care will also focus on your general wellbeing and may include advice on tips towards leading a healthier lifestyle. We will focus on you as a whole. All techniques used are evidence based.
