What to expect
From the moment you arrive, you'll be welcomed into a calm, friendly environment where you'll have the time to ask questions, share your concerns and feel confident that you're in experienced hands.
1. Welcome to the clinic.
Your visit begins with a warm welcome from our reception team. We’ll help you complete a few simple forms before your appointment so we can begin to understand your health and medical history.
We know visiting a new clinic can feel unfamiliar, so we’ll make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed before meeting your chiropractor.
2. Understanding your needs
No two people experience pain in the same way, which is why your consultation is never rushed.
Your chiropractor will spend time listening to your symptoms, discussing how they’re affecting your work, hobbies and everyday life, and understanding your medical history and lifestyle. The more we know about you, the better we can identify what’s really causing your problem.
This is also your opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns you may have before moving on to the examination.
3. A thorough assessment
Once we’ve gained a clear understanding of your symptoms, we’ll carry out a detailed chiropractic examination.
This may include assessing your posture, spinal movement, muscle strength, joint function and nervous system to build a complete picture of your condition. If clinically appropriate, we may recommend digital X-rays to help confirm a diagnosis or ensure treatment is the safest and most effective option for you.
Everything we do is focused on understanding the cause of your pain—not simply treating the symptoms.
4. Understanding your results
Before beginning treatment, we’ll explain exactly what we’ve found in a way that’s easy to understand.
We’ll talk you through what’s contributing to your symptoms, answer any questions you have and explain whether chiropractic care is the right approach for you. If we believe another healthcare professional would be better placed to help, we’ll always tell you.
If chiropractic treatment is appropriate, we’ll explain your personalised care plan, including what treatment we’ll recommend, how many visits you may need and what you can realistically expect throughout your recovery.
You’ll always have the information you need to make an informed decision about your care.
5. Beginning your treatment
If you’re happy to proceed, your first treatment will usually begin during this appointment.
Treatment is tailored to your individual condition and may include gentle Gonstead chiropractic adjustments to restore movement within the spine, alongside other hands-on techniques where appropriate to help reduce pain, improve mobility and support your recovery.
Before you leave, we’ll also give you practical advice, exercises and simple lifestyle recommendations that can help you recover more quickly and reduce the likelihood of your symptoms returning.
Our goal isn’t just to help you feel better today—it’s to help you stay healthier in the future.
6. Before your appointment
To help you get the most from your consultation, it’s useful to bring:
A list of any medications you’re currently taking.
Details of any previous scans or imaging, such as X-rays, MRI or CT reports, if you have them.
A list of any questions you’d like to ask.
A friend or family member if you’d feel more comfortable having someone with you.
Most importantly, come prepared to tell us how your symptoms are affecting your life. The more we understand about you, the better we can help.
