Frequently Asked Questions
What will happen at my first treatment?
At your first visit we will discuss in detail your current concern as well as establishing your general health status. If you have had any recent investigations, please bring the results with you when possible, as they are very useful in helping us to make informed decisions about your care. For a detailed physical examination, you will be offered a gown or alternatively please wear loose fitting clothing such as shorts and a t‑shirt.
Once we have thoroughly understood your complaint and completed the examination, we will sit down with you and explain the probable diagnosis, treatment options, likely outcome and proposed treatment plan. You will always be involved in the decisions regarding treatment and your care plan and are invited to ask questions at any point.
We appreciate that most patients will want to start their treatment straight away. However, if any further investigations are required, such as x‑ray or MRI scans, immediate onsite referral can be organised or referral to your GP if necessary. You will also be provided with ‘self help’ advice, which may include stretches or rehabilitation exercises. We encourage a pro active role in your care, the more you help yourself the quicker you will see results!
How many treatments will I need?
We aim to get you feeling better and help resolve your complaint as quickly as possible. Obviously, everybody is different and many factors contribute to your recovery time including the severity of your complaint and lifestyle. What we do know is that typically, the quicker you seek treatment for a problem, the quicker it will respond.
