What to expect on your first visit
Initially you will be asked to describe and discuss with the chiropractor the condition/conditions that brought you to the clinic.
Afterwards a full medical history will be taken, and an initial diagnosis will be discussed with you. A treatment plan will then be put forward including the type of chiropractic care that may best be suited for you. Then an appropriate orthopaedic and neurological screening will be carried out to confirm or reassess the initial diagnosis. You may need to remove some items of clothing, however gowns are readily available.
After receiving treatment, you will be told about any exercises or changes to
your lifestyle that may be beneficial, so that you can help yourself.

Chiropractic
Chiropractic is 'a health profession concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, and the effects of these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health'.
The McTimoney method of chiropractic was developed by the late John McTimoney over 50 years ago. It is well known for being a precise, whole body approach to chiropractic care. Which allows us to treat from the very young to the more mature members of the community.
The title of 'chiropractor' is protected by law and it is a criminal offence for anyone to describe themselves as a chiropractor without being registered with the GCC.
