What happens during a consultation?
Your chiropractor will begin your first consultation by taking a full case
history. Then you will be given standard orthopaedic and neurological tests and
the movement of your spine and joints will be checked. If X-rays are necessary
to assist the diagnosis, some practitioners will use their own, fully certified
and maintained equipment; others will use the facilities of the local hospital.
All our chiropractors are trained and qualified to take and interpret X-rays.
If your chiropractor identifies an underlying condition for which other
treatment is appropriate, you will be referred to your GP or another specialist
without delay. Chiropractic can, however, be very helpful in providing
additional relief even for conditions such as these.
As well as using manipulation, your chiropractor may use ice or heat treatment,
as well as other techniques, having explained exactly how they work.
Chiropractors do not prescribe drugs or use surgical procedures.
