At your initial Chiropractic Consultation we will take a full medical history followed by a physical examination which may include assessment of vitals like blood pressure and pulse rate, posture and gait analysis, and specific orthopaedic and neurological tests to help diagnose your condition. Depending on your condition(s) will depend on how long this examination will take and more complex cases can take longer to assess and therefore treatment on your first visit is not always possible.
Following the chiropractic examination a report of findings will be given where you condition will be explained including the diagnosis, the prognosis, the extent of treatment you will need and your individual treatment plan.
In some cases you may require further investigations in the form of an x-ray or MRI scan which may need to be conducted prior to any treatment or in certain cases you maybe referred to another appropriate healthcare professional.
