Your First Visit

Your initial consultation is thorough and designed to assess your overall health and identify the root cause of your discomfort. This session typically includes:

  • A detailed review of your medical history.

  • A physical examination, including neurological and orthopaedic tests.

  • An assessment of your posture and movement.

If clinically appropriate, you will receive your first chiropractic treatment during this visit too. At the end of the consultation, we will provide you with a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals going forward.

Follow-Up Visits

Follow-up visits are essential for tracking your progress and making any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. During these sessions, we will:

  • Reassess your condition.

  • Continue treatment to help improve your symptoms and restore function.

Your progress will depend on factors such as the duration of your condition, age, fitness level, and lifestyle. Following our recommendations for rehabilitation exercises and the frequency of visits can significantly improve your treatment outcomes.

Our Treatment Techniques

We offer a variety of treatment techniques to meet your unique needs and preferences, including:

Understanding Chiropractic Manipulation

Chiropractic manipulation is a safe and gentle technique aimed at restoring proper joint function and alleviating pain. Over time, our joints can become misaligned due to factors such as aging, injury, or poor posture. Chiropractic care works to correct these misalignments, helping to relieve discomfort and improve mobility.

Why Choose Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care has been a trusted form of healthcare since its establishment in 1895 in the United States. Today, it is recognised as the second-largest healthcare profession globally. In the UK, chiropractic is a regulated profession, ensuring that practitioners adhere to strict standards of care.

Each chiropractor’s approach is unique, offering a personalised experience tailored to your specific needs. This bespoke care means you receive treatment that is designed just for you.
