First Visit

This will last up to 1 hour. During this time a full medical history will be taken, followed by a comprehensive physical examination.

If it is clinically justified, you will be referred for x-rays or an MRI scan.

After diagnosing your complaint, your chiropractor will clearly explain the examination findings to you and will also explain the proposed treatment plan.

Subsequent treatments last 20 minutes.

If your chiropractor feels that chiropractic treatment is not suitable for your complaint, you will be referred to your GP or to a suitable specialist.

Rates:

Initial Consultation and Treatment £45

Treatment

Treatment is on an individual, one-to-one basis. It will usually be offered immediately, and often involves manipulation of the spine or extremity joints.

A wide range of manipulation techniques are used, and these improve the function of the joints, relieving pain. Deep tissue techniques are also used on tight muscles or those that are in spasm.

Most conditions have a considerable amount of both joint and muscle involvement. Targeting and treating both these areas will therefore obtain better results in a quicker time than if you solely treat one or the other.

The chiropractic techniques used are based on scientific clinical evidence and are proven to be successful.

How can I help myself?

Chiropractors support the treatment they offer with advice on suitable stretches, exercises, improvements to posture, as well as changes that could be made to the work environment. This is to help in managing the condition and preventing a reoccurrence of the problem.
