YOUR FIRST TREATMENT (Charge £53, children £44)
During your first visit for treatment you will be asked about your past history and receive a thorough examination. Previous X-ray reports can be obtained in some cases. After reaching a diagnosis, your chiropractor will discuss it with you and explain what treatment is to take place. This is normally in the form of manipulation, but may include other forms of chiropractic treatment as necessary.
SUBSEQUENT TREATMENTS (Charge £30, children £25)
Usually, the earlier a condition is treated after its onset, the fewer subsequent teatments are needed. A course of home exercises may be given, or you may be referred to a local gym for a course of exercises to help maintain the improvement. Advice will be given to make sure that relapses are kept to a minimum.
TELEPHONE ADVICE
Sometimes you may seek telephone advice. This is welcome but can be difficult during clinic hours. If you talk to the receptionist and she is unable to put you through immediately, please leave your telephone number and your call will be returned as soon as possible.
