Your first visit is mainly about understanding your problem. Treatment only begins once you understand and agree to the plan.
1. History
We ask about your symptoms, how they started, your general health, medicines and any previous scans or reports.
2. Examination
We look at your posture and movement, and may perform simple neurological and orthopaedic tests.
3. Explanation and plan
We explain our findings in plain language, discuss options (which may include exercises and advice as well as hands-on care) and agree goals with you.
4. Treatment, if appropriate
If treatment is suitable, it may begin on the first visit. If anything suggests you need medical investigation first, we will tell you and help you arrange it.
