Your first visit

Your first appointment

Your first appointment with us is an important step toward understanding and addressing your condition. This visit typically lasts between 45 minutes to an hour and focuses on identifying the root cause of your symptoms.

What to expect

  • We’ll ask detailed questions about your current pain or complaint, as well as your overall health history, to build a comprehensive understanding of your condition.

  • If necessary, a physical examination will be conducted to further assess your symptoms and identify potential causes.

  • Should chiropractic care not be suitable for your needs, we will refer you to your GP or an appropriate specialist for further evaluation and treatment.

What Does Chiropractic Treatment Involve?

How many treatments will I need?

Chiropractic care focuses on safe, often gentle, and precise spinal manipulation to improve movement in the joints of the spine or other affected areas of the body.

In addition to spinal manipulation, your chiropractor may use a combination of techniques to enhance your treatment, including:

  • Laser therapy​

  • Shockwave therapy

  • Ice or heat therapy.

  • Ultrasound for tissue healing and pain relief.

  • Exercise guidance for recovery and strengthening.

  • Acupuncture / Dry needling to alleviate pain and promote relaxation.

  • Advice on posture and lifestyle changes to support your overall well-being.

​

Our goal is to ensure your treatment experience is effective, comfortable, and personalized to your unique needs.

This can vary for each patient. The number of visits is dependent on the following:

 

  • The symptoms you have

  • The time you have had these symptoms

  • How much of your chiropractor's advice you follow
