What happens at your first visit to us?

You will be able to tell us about your complaint and we will ask you questions related to this, along with a general background of your medical history.

Following this, we do a physical assessment, this is so we have as much information as possible to make the correct diagnosis. We have gowns available for you to change into when needed.

We will discuss the diagnosis with you in detail and suggest a treatment plan for you. Your treatment plan with include an estimate of the frequency of treatment as well as advice on exercises, posture and your working environment. If the we can’t help you, we can refer you for further investigations, or other types of treatment.

How long does it take to get better?

Some problems resolve very quickly with treatment. Sometimes it may take some time for your problem to improve, as it depends on the injury type, how long you have had the symptoms, your age and the type of work and lifestyle you lead.

Do I need to be referred by my GP or specialist?

As chiropractic is a private health care option, you do not need a referral. However, if you are using private health care insurance to pay for the treatment you may need a letter from your GP or specialist to be covered. Check with your insurance company for further details. We and our clinic, Back in Motion Chiropractic, are recognised by most insurance companies. But, we would recommend that you check with your insurer, as policies can differ.
