A physical examination is given to check the movement of your spine, joints and general posture.

Neurological and orthopaedic tests will be used to help the chiropractor make a diagnosis and decide the best treatment plan.

Subsequent visits

Treatment will vary depending on your exact needs, and usually involves, specific gentle manipulation by hand called an adjustment, to restore correct function, mobility or alignment.

Recovery times vary, dependant on the problem, your age and lifestyle. Also, your commitment to any advice the chiropractor may recommend.

In most cases, a definite change for the better will be noticed early on in your treatment plan.
