Suffolk Chiropractic | A gentle approach!

What to expect | Your first visit

What to expect | Your first visit

Your chiropractor will begin with asking your reasons for seeking chiropractic treatment and a discussion about your health. The consultation will take about one hour. You will have a thorough case history taken which will include information about your presenting complaint and also your past health history. With the information gained from the case history and physical assessment, an analysis of your symptoms will be made. A top to toe examination will follow and the necessary adjustments made to the relevant joints. If chiropractic is not suitable for you, you will be referred to your GP or the appropriate specialist.

You will be asked to undress to your underwear for the first consultation and offered a gown to wear. It is important at the first consultation for your chiropractor to be able to see the entire spine in order to give a thorough examination.

You follow up visits

Follow up appointments take about half an hour during which time as well as treatment, your chiropractor will give you advice on how you may help your progress – including posture and exercise advice.

The number of sessions needed varies considerably depending on:

You age: You generally heal more slowly as you get older.
The nature of the problem: a simple backache will often clear more quickly than a sciatic problem.
How long you have had the problem: Generally, yesterday's injury will resolve faster than one of 20 years standing.
