YOUR FIRST CHIROPRACTIC VISIT
First, we’ll sit down and get to know you—your story, your concerns, and your goals. Next, we’ll carry out some simple tests to understand what’s going on and ensure your treatment is safe and effective. Then, we’ll explain what you can expect from your care, so you feel informed and confident. Finally, we’ll begin your personalised treatment plan, guiding you step-by-step towards better health and wellbeing.
Initial Consultation
Patient History: Your chiropractor collects detailed information about your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, and any previous treatments you have undergone. This comprehensive understanding helps tailor the care to your unique needs.
Discussion of Concerns: You’ll have the opportunity to openly discuss any specific issues you’re experiencing, such as pain, discomfort, or challenges with mobility. This collaborative conversation ensures your priorities are at the heart of the treatment plan.
Physical Examination
Postural Assessment: Your chiropractor evaluates your posture and spinal alignment to identify any imbalances or areas of concern.
Range of Motion Tests: Various movements are assessed to determine your flexibility, joint function, and overall mobility.
Neurological and Orthopaedic Tests: These assessments help identify nerve function, reflexes, and musculoskeletal health. They also confirm there are no contraindications, ensuring it’s safe to proceed with your treatment.
Your first treatment
Once we’ve taken your history and completed all the necessary tests to ensure your treatment is safe, we’ll get started with your first session.
How we can help you
As a chiropractor and masseuse working together, we offer a comprehensive approach to pain relief and overall wellness. Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal misalignments, improving joint function, and relieving nerve pressure, while massage therapy targets muscle tension, improves circulation, and enhances relaxation. By combining these therapies, we address both the structural and muscular components of your discomfort, promoting faster healing, reducing stress, and preventing future issues. This integrative care helps patients experience deeper, longer-lasting relief and improved physical performance in their daily lives.
Lower Back Pain
Back pain can be all encompassing, don’t let it hold you back. Whether its pain changing position or bending forward, these are things that can be worked with to help and improve.

Shooting pain down the leg? Pain is worse when sitting, with pain radiating from buttock to the foot when changing position? Getting everything moving correctly can help take the pressure away from the causes of these issues.
Shoulder Pain
Pain when moving the arm, lifting objects or when at rest? Not only will we work on rebalancing and making sure the shoulder position, nerves and blood flow are working with each other, we will also get some strength work planned to help stop these issues from returning.

Pain when turning your head? Pain worse in the morning? Spending a lot of time sat in one position or sat at a desk? By getting the neck moving and finding balance, this can help make positive changes throughout your body.

Muscular Tension & Injuries
Discomfort and tension. Muscle knots and aching pains. Whether from poor posture, working a lot or training hard, muscle tension can lead to more serious injuries. Reducing the tension will help reduce the chances of injuries and also speed up the recovery time of existing injuries.
ZT System Rebalancing
The systems of our body control everything, from blood flow, brain function and digestion to how our muscles work or hormones are released and more. We need these systems to be connected, balanced and functioning. Finding this balance can be from a small tweak that makes the biggest difference.
Headaches
Headaches can significantly disrupt your daily life, stopping us being able to do the things we love. Whether we spend too much time sat in awkward positions on screens or we have tightness in the neck and shoulders, these are some reasons headaches can occur. We help release tension on the neck and head letting things flow and move more freely.
