If you’ve never been to a chiropractor, or you’ve been before and it didn’t help, it’s normal to wonder what you’re walking into. Here’s how a first visit with us works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We send a short video that walks you through what to expect, so there are no surprises on the day. You can watch it whenever suits you, and it’s a good place to start if you’re unsure whether we’re the right fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your first session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We start by listening. You’ll talk us through what’s going on, how long it’s been happening, what you’ve tried, and what you want to get back to doing. Then we do a full assessment, looking at how you move and what’s going on around the area that hurts, not only the sore spot itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before anything else, we explain what we’ve found in plain language, and what we think is worth doing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your<\/strong> plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You leave with a plan built around your week, not a generic handout. It includes what we’ll do in the clinic and what you can do at home, in a physical and digital format so it’s easy to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After your visit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We check in by text, call or email between sessions, and we review the plan as you go. If something isn’t working or your situation changes, the plan changes too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
