What to expect during a new patient consultation? +

Will I get treatment on my first visit? +
In most cases, we will provide treatment during your first visit, depending on your assessment.
Will I need imaging/a scan? +
Your chiropractor will tell you if they think you would require an image/scan. In most cases, an image/scan is not necessary. In rare occasions, a scan may be suggested to better assess the cause of pain, if the cause is unclear. If an image/scan is suggested by your chiropractor they will tell you why and speak with you regarding options for a scan; such as contacting your GP with your consent, or via private healthcare if you would prefer.
Can I be seen for more than one problem? +
Yes. There are a wide range of conditions that can be treated by chiropractic, and we can address multiple concerns during your appointments. In a complex case, your chiropractor may suggest to focus on just one area initially before addressing other areas in future sessions.
How long does an appointment last? +
An initial consultation (your first session) will last 45 minutes to 1 hour, follow-up treatments will last 15 to 20 minutes. This allows us ample time to assess and treat your needs.

Will chiropractic treatment hurt? +
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during treatment. We will ensure you are comfortable throughout.
Will I need to remove clothes? +
A chiropractor may ask to look at an area if they suspect any visual signs that could help diagnose your pain. In this event, your chiropractor would ask you to either remove an item of clothing or roll up a sleeve as an example. You can absolutely refuse this request if you are not comfortable with this.
Will I be told what my diagnosis is? +
Yes, we will explain your diagnosis and treatment plan thoroughly, so you are always informed.
