Your First Visit

Your first visit should normally last between 45 minutes and an hour.

During that time your chiropractor will take a full case history, give you a thorough physical examination, including blood pressure, orthopaedic and neurological test, and refer you to your GP if necessary.

Before the start of your treatment, your chiropractor will explain clearly and in detail, the results of your initial examination, using models and computer images where necessary.

Your chiropractor will then explain the propossed treatment plan, and what you are likely to feel, both during and after your treatment. At this stage your chiropractor can give you a guide to how long it will take to achieve your health goals.

Your first treatment usually involves you laying on your front, side, or back on the treatment couch whilst your adjustments are being done. Then your chiropractor will usually use either soft tissue massage techniques or ultra-sound on the surrounding areas; depending what your individual case requires.

At the end of your first treatment, your chiropractor will give you specific, relevant advice to help speed up your healing process in between your treatments.
