Your first appointment is all about understanding you.
We’ll begin by talking about your symptoms, your medical history, your daily activities and any previous injuries or treatments you’ve had. I also like to understand how your symptoms are affecting your work, hobbies and everyday life because this helps build a clearer picture of what’s going on.
I’ll then carry out a physical examination, which may include assessing your posture, movement, spinal mobility, muscle strength, reflexes and joint function. These findings help determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate and guide your treatment plan.
If it’s safe and appropriate to do so, treatment may begin during your first appointment. If further investigations are needed before treatment, I’ll explain why and discuss the next steps with you.
My goal is for you to leave your first visit with a better understanding of your condition, a clear plan moving forward and the reassurance that your concerns have been carefully listened to.
